[ultlUIN AL. } EUtEJ^ HOI*** A Tale of the late War. BY E. J. O. CHAPTER IL One beautiful morning, as Ellen stood on the veranda of the mansion, prepared for her usual morning's ride, an exercise and pleasure to -which she had been accustomed ever since she had been old enough to indulg? in it, the old -waiting-man, Bosen, presented himself with the unwelcome intelligence, that her favorite riding horse was lame, and inquiring whethel he should saddle Toney, a young anc rather wild animal (that had beer standing in the stable for severa weeks) for her. Ellen had riddor Toney before, but always in company with her father, who was now absent, having gone to a distant part of thc farm. Thinking only of the enjoy ment of her ride, she very inconsider? ately ordered Bosen to bring out thc high-mettled steed, and mountec him. The old servant know it was ? great indiscretion, but, like othei servants in higher stations in Ufe, h< did not wish to tell his pretty mistress the truth, when it would be unpalat able. Ho had his misgivings, foi before they left the yard, he saw, a.* he afterwards declared, do debbie ii Toney's eye. Whatever his fears were however, lie kept them to himsel until it was too late. Leading out from the East side o the yard, thero was a road that rai down the side of tho valley, windin j along the base of the hills. It was 01 that road that Ellen expected to tak lier ride, but Toney suddenly disap pointed her expectations, for as eooi as the gate was opened, he bouudet through it, and taking the path tba lcd across the valley, lie went off at rapid gallop. His rider tried t check and turn him, but she plied th reins in vain. Feeling comparative! free, and rejoicing in the freshness c tho morning air, he seemed to hav but one object in view, and that wa to go right ahead, and the rule h hud adopted appeared to bo th greatest distance in the shortet possible time. Fortunately, Ellon Early was good rider, and was not easily f riglr cued, so ns to lose her presence c mind. Tho present emergency calle for the exorcise of all her tact an horscm hip. She kept her ses firmly, aentally resolving, if si could not control the vicious anima to ride him down, or until ho beean more manageable. She thought 1 would perhaps stop at tho brookle to which he was in the habit of goii every dav for water; blithe cleared ut a single bound, and went on, seer mg to gather fresh strength and spe< at every jump. It was a grai and fearful sight-that high-spirit* steed, with flowing mane and disten ed nostrils, leaping furiously over tl plain, bearing that brave and beau nil girl upon Ids back, with the plur of her hat and her bright curls streai ing in tho breeze. He was rnakii now directly for the pickets, and in few moments would be upon them. Frightened and furious ai he wt Ellon did not think the foolish hoi would run into that company soldiers. She was not loft long suspense. Ero the sleepy fello were aware of it-for they did n expect io be charged from the rear ho dashed through them, scatteri thom Uko a covey of birds, and we charging on. But a few hundr yards in advance of the main body pickets were two men posted in t road, and their fixed bayonets a: resolute appearance were too mu for Toney. He turned, and, maki a short circuit, came bounding a snorting back down the road agni The soldiers, now fully aroused, wt prepared for him this time, and did not go far through them befor. strong hand grasped the bridle a stopped him in his mad career. Eilen expressed her thanks to 1 deliverer as well as she coidd, apo gi zed for tho intrusion, and hurrie< explained to the curious and gazi group around her, how she came fisit thom in such on unceremonh manner. Seeing her embarrassmo and appreciating the awkwardness her situation, tho polite young sold offered to conduct her back to i house. She readily accepted proposal, and as ho led the ho _>"vr ? ^58 ( ? . .,*"?- y}* ggfgSH?ag?Bgga?B?L-Li-i-! away, she smilingly lifted her hat and bowed to the soldiers: but she could j not help but heari "x wish I could haye caught that horsol" '?Boye, ! never say virginia is not worth fight I iag for again Vf and similar expr?s , si ons, as she rode off. They proceeded some distance in I silence. . Ellen, first spoke, saying, laugh" gly, "I think -we ought to be ' acqua?ated after this. May I be so bold as to inquire the name of my preserver and protector?" "To be sure," replied the young soldier, turning with pleasure to his companion. "My name is Gillespie, Harry Gillespie. ' ' A pretty name and a handsome fellow, thought Ellen, but she did not say it. "You are Miss Early, I believe," continued Harry, ' 'but* I am not so fortunate as to know your given name." "That is quickly told," said she, with, a smile, "It is Ellen. I see from those bars on your collar, you are an officer; one, two, that means first lieutenant, does it not?" "You are right" <4Well now, Lieutenant," said the fair girl, recovering her color and spirits, "we are becoming acquainted, may I ask you another question?" *'A thousand, if you wish." "Thank you, but one will do, at least for the present. "What is the meaning of that pretty rosette on your hat? Does it signify that you are a member of some mystic order of Southern knight-errantry?" "Oh, no, that is only palmetto, the emblem of our State. The rosette I was made by my sister and placed on my hat before I left home." "Yes, I remember now, you are from South Carolina; and that is the Palmetto State. You are' culled the palmetto boys ; I have heard much of their courage and gallantry, and I have to-day had an evidence of both. Harry scarcely knew what jto reply to this delicate and flattering compli? ment, but ventured to say that ho hoped the favorable opinion she had formed of thom would not be lessened by any occurrence in tho future. This pleasant conversation was soon interrupted by their arrival at the little river, where they met old Bosen. That worthy had watched the wild flight of Toney across the valley with the greatest consternation and alarm. He loved his beautiful young mis? tress, and, coward as he was, would have died any time to save her Ufe. Feeling that he was, in a great degree, responsible for the present catastro? phe, and seeiug ho w powerless he was to aid her, ho could only wring his withered hands in the anguish of his heart and indulge iu those pathetic lamentations for which his race is remarkable. His joy at seeiug Ellen safe and sound was only equal to the fright and grief he had felt. ' 'Bress God A'mighty!" he exclaimed, "how glau I is, Miss Ellen, to see you alive and uot hurt. Oh, Lord, ef you had bin, de old niau would have died, for certain" "Well, never mind now, Daddy Bosen," said Ellen, taking Harry's hand and leaping to the ground, ' 'here, take Toney ; ho has been very naughty, but has found a master in this gentlemau. You must not beat him, you kuow father will not allow that." "Yes, I know dat is de boss' order, but ef de old man had his way, he'd lash you, you wenomous looking rascal, till you'd 'have yourself bette i next time," and the indignant old African shook his fist in Toney'.s face. That redoubtable champion w;ts quid now; he had had his spree, and np peared to be perfectly satisfied. "Go along, Bosen," said Ellei again, "and don't be talking to tin horse as if he was a reasonable crea ture. I have relieved yon of tha care, my gallant knight," she cou tinued, turning to Harry, "but mus still burden you with myself." "I would consider myself a for t?nate knight indeed, if I neve had to bear a more disagreeable bur den," he replied, us he took her hand and, leading lier across the foot-luj that spanned tho stream, they pro cecded ixp tho smooth and grass; road, that led through the rich am purple blossomed clover, toward th house, chatting gayly and pleasant! as they went along. Thoy would hav made a fine picture for a painter, a they walked leisurely up that road Harry in his gray uniform, and Elle; with her riding costume neatly fittin her queenly form, and lier jaunty ha with its gay plume. Though nature had not been s lavish in her gifts to Harry, us sh had been to his beautiful companion ho was a noble specimen of you th fi manhood, tall, straight, andwell-prc portioned, with handsome, regula features, dark hair and whiskers, an a fino intellectual face. His coir plexion, naturally fair, wasnow sonic what bronzed J>y exposure, and hi deep gray eyes beamed with genth ness and kindness of heart. Ho wn frank and unreserved in his mannen and his smile -was bright and winnini He had attained his twenty-fifth yeai but so virtuous and tranquil had bee his life, that he did not appear to L more than twenty. His father, respectable farmer of middle Car< lina, though not wealthy, possessed a ample competency, and had given t Harry every oppor' mity for ment? and moral culturo, which tho gratefi son had carefully improved. Whe at college he had not squandered h timo and means in frivolous an worthless amusements, and ruine his health and prospects by dissip: tiou, but had diligently applied hin self to his studies and borne off th . ?_ * . t . . * ' - * .? - ' ^ . . highest honors of his class. Return? ing to his home, he did not disdain the quiet and useful pursuits of the fanner, but could speed the plow or handle the sickle, as well as ho could wield the pen or tho sword. He was not content to be idle, and soon be? came an ornament of his family and society, and a useful citizen of the community in which he resided. At the call of his State, he had buckled on his sword in defence of what he believed to be a just and good cause. On reaching the mansion, Harry was thinking of returning, ; when Ellen said, "Walk in, Lieutenant, and take a seat on the piazza-it is more pleasant here than in the parlor at this hour of the day. Father, I see, has not yet returned; please ex? cuse me just ono moment." ?ndthe happy girl tripped into the house to take off her riding dress and hat. She returned directly, neatly and simply attired, and taking a chair, seated herself near Harry, and endea? vored to make him feel perfectly at home. It should be remarked, just here, that not the least of Ellen's charms was the fact that she appeared to be entirely unconscious of her peerless beauty. Harry had admired her per? son, and .ho was now no less charmed with her agreeable manners and con? versation. Free from affectation or constraint, intelligent, polite and affable, frank and friendly, without being rudo or familiar, her gentle deportment and kind bearing made you at mice feel that you were in tho presence of one of those lovely and gifted beings who always shed the sunshine of joy and happiness around them.. The young officer had been accustomed through life to the socie? ty of beautiful and lovely girls, but their blandishments and charms had hitherto had but little effect upon him. His heart was still whole, and he had never been seriously disturbed by the tender passion. But his sus? ceptibility and resolution were about to bo put to a severer test than they had ever before undergone. Would he still be proof against Cupid's darts? We shall see. Some half au hour passed very pleasantly away, when Ellen said", laughingly: "I think, Lieutenant, we ought to have some refreshment after this morning's exercise. Let me see," she continued, rising and going into the house, "if I cannot lind some? thing." She soon returned, boariug a large waiter, filled with tho choicest luxu? ries of the season-there Tere some slices of fine white bread and a huge ball of golden butter, tumblers Ol large, luscious cherries, and a dish ol beautiful strawberries, covered with cream and sugar, and Hanked by a pitcher of cool milk. Placing thc waiter on a small table in front of hoi guest, she said, apologetically, "Ian] sorry I have no nice cake and win? for you, Lieutenant; but the house if empty this morning." "I will hear no apology in the pre sence of this table, Miss Ellen,' Harry replied. "You could nothav< pleased one who has been living foi months past on hard bread or slap jacks and salt meat, better. Aud nov you will please me better still if yov will help me to demolish this castle o good things. " "You will lead the assault, my goo? knight," said she, playfully, "and will follow." Harry did not need a -secon< prompting, and with such viands t? fpiee their pleasant chat, the tim ll->w -rapidly. "Is it not rather early for strawbei ries and cherries in Virginia," re marked the young officer, as he help ed himself to them for the second o third time. "Yes," replied his companion "the strawberries grew in the warm house, and the cherries are a vcr early kind. Tho trees stand on th South side of the garden, where th first warm suns of spring strike then: and then, you know," said she, wit an arch smile, "wo are an Earl people, and ought to have earl fruit." "To be sure," rejoined Hair} laughing; "I did not think ofthat. had almost wished the name migh be changed, but for the present 1 wi repent of my wish." Eilen looked at him with a puzzle expression of countenance, and slight blush suffused her beau ti fv face. Harry noticed it, und it sent thrill of pleasure through every filu of his being. How long they would have sat thu it is difficult to tell, had not the Lici tenant looked at his watch and see that he had already over-stayod th timo to which he had limited hiuisel He rose to depart. Ellen asked au urged him to stay to dinner, as lu father would then be home, und wold be happy to make his acquaintance and when he lu ard the event of th morning, he would wish, she knev to thank him for tho kindness li had shown to her. But duty was in p'erative, and he had to obey. Wei if he must go, he should call in th morning, on his return lo camp. H promised to do so, and took up h hat "As life is always uncertain," sui Ellen, extending her hand, "and e? pecially so in time of war, if wo nevi meet again, Lieutenant, 1 want yo always to consider me your friem I am sure I shall never cease to fe? grateful to you." "Whatever may be joy lot in th future," Hurry replied, with dee feeling, "I can never forget the o> curronces of this day ; and I shall ov< look back to the pleasant timo I have spent with you, as the happiest mo? ments of my life." There was ? pressure of hands-a simple act pf ceremony, and usually an assurance of friendship, but some? times revealing a deeper feeling-and he was gone. As Lieut. Gillespie recrossed the valley on his way Iback to his com? pany, his heart was filled with new and strange sensations. The sun seemed to shine brighter, the fields looked greener and fresher, and he . appeared to be all at once lifted up into a higher and nobler sphere of existence. But novel and unusual as were his emotions, they were by no means disagreeable or unwelcome. His duties, which before were so irk? some, now seemed light, and the fu? ture was bright with hopo. What could such pleasant and elevating feedings portend? Was he in love? If he had not been a novice in wily Cupid's arts, and had never felt tho sweet harbingers of his presence, he would not have asked himself that question. He covdd not have mis? taken the symptoms. But judging from the past, reflecting how often ho had been proof against the fasci? nations and blandishments of the tender sex, he doubtless scouted the idea that in the short space of a few hours he had been entangled in thc silken meshes of love. ?iot he. Ali, Harry 1 others have reasoned from similar premises, and they have been swept away like frost-work before the morning sun! When ho reaohed tho pickot-post, he was surprised to find the company drawn up as on dress parade. As he came up, the captain, a talented young mau, who was a wit as well as a wag, approached him, and taking off his hat with great deference aud respect, addressed him in the follow? ing strain : "Lieut. Gillespie, it has been made my pleasant duty to greet you on your return to this post, and to con? vey to you, in the name of tho com? pany here assembled, their hearty thanks for the admirable and gallant manner in which you rescued a beau? tiful young lady this morning, from what seemed inevitable destruction, and conducted her to her pleasant home. That you lingered a few hours in that bower of beauty and refinement waa both natural and pro? per, and the man that would blaine you for it would be destitute of the ordinary sensibilities of our nature, j By your gentlemanly and meritorious , conduct in this affair, you have in? creased that high regard which we have entertained for you, and have reflected honor on our company and tho Palmetto State." Knowing the Captain's goodness of heart, Harry expected a cordial greet? ing; but this flourssh of rhetoric took him somewhat by surprise; Collect? ing his scattered thoughts, however, as well ns he could, ho replied : "Captain, to know that I possess your confidence and esteem, and that of my comrades-in-arms, has ever been to me a source of delight; and to be assured that in perforim.ig a simple act of kindness and politeness I have merited your approbation, fills me with pleasure, if, in doing what 1 considered nothing moro than my duty, I have conferred any honor on my company and State, ? am happy and proud to know it. It is reward enough for me to know that I rescued from imminent danger ono ot* the most beautiful beings I over beheld; and after escorting her to her home, found that her intelligence and kind? ness of heart, and her graceful man? ners and accomplishments, were only j equaled by her beauty. That I lin gered there a few hours is not sur-1 prising to myself, and i am glad it ? does not surprise yon. And now | T would say, in conclusion, that I I have only leave of absence from the I mansion until to-morrow morning; and if in future I should not bo al? ways present at roll-cull, I hope! will not be reported and put ou extra duty." This well-timed speech was re? ceived with laughter and applause; tlie generous Captain took Harry's hand and shook it cordially ; and thc merry soldie rs, breaking ranks, dis? persed again to their cosy beds on the luxuriant grass.
