I finished the dainty wardrobe ? And the drawer waa almost fall With robes of, tho finest muslin, And robes of the whitest wool. I folded them all. together, With a rose for every pair. Smiling, and saying, "Gem fragrant, j fit for my prince to wear." And, the radiant summer morning, 80 full of a mother's joy! "Thank God, ho ia fair and porfeet. My beautiful, new-born boy." Let him wear the pretty, white garments I wrought while sitting apart; Lay him, so sweet and so helpless, . Here, close to mr throbbing heart. Many and many an .evening I sit, since my baby carno, Saving, "What do the angola call him?" For lie died without a name; Sitting while hours aro waning, Add the houae is all at rest, And fancy a baby nestling Close to my aching breast. THE WRONG TICKET. One of the many men who came and vent as pationts in ward six of our hos? pital at Washington, was Bernard Heine, a handsome, stalwart Germ un, fresh, blonde,' brave nn? merry. He was there tbree months in all; and being a social fellow, and a favorite of mine, told me j all his history, in general terms at first, but gradually growing more confidential as ho know me better and became more aeiored of ruy sympathy. I knew what a wild/adventurous yon th he had been in the dear old fatherland; by what hair brained serapes ho had angered his friends; how, at nineteen yenrs of age, be had run away and come to this coun? try; bow hi? parents had died darin" the I two years in which he had heard nothing from borne, and they nothing from him; and how. sore his heart was when he thought of them, and knew what grief be must have caused them. I knew about the Van Dorms, with whom he had boarded two years before he entered the army, and how the young people were j like brothers and sisters to him, and the old people like father ami mother, and how Lizzie Van Dorm wrote to him every week. And here I guessed somewhat more than I knew. I guessed from the slight embarrassment, the mingled cold? ness and kindness with which he ac? counted for his having entered the army, the faint shade of annoyance which sometimes crossed his faoe when ho read her letters, and his slowness in answer? ing them, that Miss Liza was fonder of him than he of her. I have known cases where nice yoong men had been cordial? ly received and fondly cherished in fami? lies where there are marriageable daugh? ters, and where, in spite of themselves, the force of circumstances had obliged them to assume ties whioh they took re? luctantly. I like to see men do their owu wooing, and always respect a man that flies from a wooing woman. So many guesses made me like this young soldier all the better. He had made his will before en? tering the army, he told me, and left everything he had, among the rest a lifo insurance of $5,000, to the Van Dorms. He exaggerated his causes of gratitude to them. He had no one else ia tho world who cared for him; and, besides their general friendliness, they had nurs? ed him through a severe sickness, nod refused to take any extra pay for it. "They are the only ones in the world who would mourn, if I should happen to get a bullet through me," he said, with a touch of bitterness in his voice, which showed that there was something yet untold ia his story. Later, one evening, wheu I was sitting by him to soothe and quiet him, after the tormentiug pain of having his wounded foot dressed, I got tho rest of the story. He was feeling unusually de? pressed that night, aud see tn ed to wish for a confidant. It was then I first heard Helen Ayre's name. She was a little yellow-haired school-mistress, who also boarded at Mrs. Van Dorm's, had,indeed, known them longer than he had. I could see how bc had loved her from tho tone of unwilling, yearning, angry tender? ness with which he spoke her name. I could see more than that, what he, like a fool, ns men always aro in such circum? stances, oould not see, the ungry jeal? ousy of the Vun Dorms, their insinua? tions, the seeds of distrust which they slowly sowed; how, while he had not dared to speak of lovo to the girl, they had made him believe that she had boasted of her power over him; how ho had been made to think her a coquotte, aad mercenary, careful not to giro him too much encouragement till she should know how much money he had. When he spoke of her capricious treatment and growiug coldness toward him, I could seo that they were reflections of his own distrust of her, nnd the effect of their mischief-making. I hinted this to him, but he could not hear to it. Oh, the Van Dorms were the salt of the earth, and his best friends, and they were inca? pable of deceit. "But maybe they wanted you for Miss Liza," I ventured. He dropped his eye?. "If they did," he said, "they would not use dishonest means to bring it about. I ought to con? sider that a now proof of their friend? ship for and confidence in me, even though I fchonld bo unwilling to gratify their wishes." I liked his reservo, and his trust. They wore honorable. "Atlast, she left the house and went somewhere else to board," ho said. "I think they had been a little cool with her for treating me so, and she didn't ? . .... i?'Ui* :.r ... ? ? - . . ' : want to 5t??. B?idoa, I suppose abe ^S^^SSSk^^SQ?ESmM^ came from tho p?r)o> to! bid her good-bye, and abo turned ber head away. "Did yon ever haye any talk, or at? tempt uuy explunatiou with her?" I asked. *'No. We never had anything on the subject, either understanding or mis? understanding. " "Master Heine," I said, emphatically, "it is my private opinion that you have been made a dope of." He smiled faintly as he shook his head. "Oh, if you kuew them you wouldn't say so." "Havo you over heard from her since you came here?" I asked. "Not a word." I was silent a moment, wondering if the poor little yellow-haired school mis? tress might not have been breaking her heart slowly duriug tho last year, aud if sho kuew just where I was at that mo? ment, if she would not consider mo tho most enviable woman in all thc world. "I wonder uouc of tho Van Dorms come out to seo you," I said, presently. "Oh, they wauted to come," was his quiok reply; "but Mrs. Van Dorm has been sick, and there was no one else who could leave. Liza had to take care of her mother. The boys and their father are driven with business. Besides, I wrote them that I was only slightly burt; and yon know I am going to have n fur? lough in a few weeks." Our conversation was interrupted here, for sick and wounded were brought in, and I bad to attend to them. Tho ward already seemed nearly full; but maDy were convalescent, and those wo wished banished to the convalescent's room, and crowded all the beds wo could get into the ward. The nest morning, the man in the bed next to Heine's, died. As tho custom was, as soon us ho died, the card containing his name, age, place of birth, regiment, company, rank aud disease, was taken down from the wall at the head of his bed, and carried to the office to bo recorded and reported. The weather was cool and his funeral was put off till tho next afternoon. The next day, just after funeral time, as I sat in the ward taking a few min? utes' rest after giving the three o'clock medicines, I glanced toward tho door, and saw two spcetres there. To be sure, they were men, stout and tanned, but their faces were, in spite of4tan, of a siokly white, and their eyes were open and fixed glaringly. They both were staring at Heine, who sat np in bed reading the Washington Slur newspaper. I approached them, though hali afraid. If they were madmen, it would be well to have them Btopped on the threshold; if they were clairvoyants, who beheld some vision of horror to us un? seen, I felt safer to be uear their piercing eyes. "You wish to see any oue?" I asked politely, much as in a dream wo compli? ment a wolf or a panther who we expect will devour us tho next moment. One of tho men never stirred, uoi seemed to hear me; but the other, with out turning his eyes from their terrifi?e gaze, poiuted mutely, and with a shak iug hand, to the man who sat so calmly reading bis newspaper. ' 'That is Bernard Heiue, " I said. * 'Die yon wish to seo him?" The mun shuddered. "He is dead!" he said. "We hav< just been to his funeral." "Oh, no! it is a mistake," I repli?e soothingly, beginning to seo what wm the matter, though not knowing how th? mistake had occurred. "Ho is getting along nicely. There is not the leafst like lihood of his dying at present." "But," the man persisted, still staring "his death was reported, with his age place of birth, his regiment and compa ny, and we have been together the whol year. We heard tt, aud saw it in th? morning's paper, aud we came down fron Camp Distribution to his funeral." By this time tho other mau had got hi jaws together and looked at me. "Did you get uear enough to tho chap lain at tho funeral to hear the name read?" I asked. "No, wo were late, aud the names hac been read," was the reply, "But we sat the paper, with all the particulars iu it. I could but smile at his persistence. "Well, you can go and ask him if h is dead," I said, turning away to attem to my business. They crossed the ward warily, wit their eyes still intently fixed on the ol ject of their incredulous fear, and wht they wero half way across, Heine looke up and saw them. A bright smile brok over his face, and ho held out both bandi "How nre you, Herman? And yo Matt? I'm glad to soo you." At the souud of his ringing voice, au the sight of his cheery face, their hu doubt vanished and they sprang forwar to grasp his hand, aud one hung aboi bis neck and kissed him, and burst int tears, while the other stood silent, bi with brimmiug eyes aud quivering li[ It made my own fill. At first Heiue listened to their s.or with wondering incredulity, and sui dooly turned about aud reached the car over his bod. He glanced over it un then looked ut mc. "Have you succeeded in couvincii] your friends that you are not dead?" asked, going to him. Ho gave me the card. "That e plains," he said. "Yon know our bc< were pushed along night beforo labt, at forgot to move the cards. I supposa : the harry, when Thomas died, the war muster took tho card over his bed ar sent ii to the office without looking at i Heine seemed much moved, not i mach at Ute thought of death associate with him; he had become to famili with it for that, bat at the sight of h friends* unexpected devotion. I left them, and they sat long with hit i not going till the very last minute th left them time to get to camp before thc pass should be overstayed. I found th ; Heine's name had not been read out Htm funeral, the some nvuuoke. "Well. Heine,*-1 said;' ?'yo* iee you wera wrong ia one thing; there aro others I K^"Hi= ii Tw- T\.,_^S-u--._u .-1 . ueamoo mo T BU rfutiuo nuv nuuiu uiuut you when dead." Ha looked up with glistening eyes. "Yes, God bloss tho poor fellows! I didn't dream they oared so much for me." "Learn one thing by this," I said, sig? nificantly. "It is not the deepest or truest affection that professes the most." He dropped his eyes, and for a mo? ment was silent. Then he saul : "They will all hear of my death. Ned Trask, who told these fellows, told them he had written to Van Dorms and sent the paper." "Such au unluoky mistake!" I said, and went iu a fever of annoyance, to scold the ward-master and send the right card to tho office. JLater in the afternoon, Heine beckon? ed me to him. Thoro was a little unu? sual color in his face, and a light in Ins eyes; and though he smiled, it was not a merry smile. "I've been thinkiug that I will wait awhilo before writing," he said. "Per? haps I ought not, but I would like to see how they all take it." I agreed with him. Perhaps it was wrong, but I also would like to know how they all would take it. So we prac ? ticed a "masterly inactivity," and waited. Two days after, as quickly as the mail could carry a letter, came an epistle di? rected to tho lady nurse of ward six, Now Jerusalem hospital. I opened it, and read at tho bottom of tho second page. "Gertrude C. Van Dorm." Itwos a precious epistle, written, as she assured me, by a woman at death's door, although the writing was uncommonly firm, and tho language surprisingly fluent for a person in that condition. She also as? sured mo that the deceased was unto her like a son, being engaged to her eldest daughter. I read it all, then went and sat by Heine, feeling augry enough with him for his engagement, and fully will? ing to teach him tho wholo truth. "Heine," I said, holding up the letter before me, "Mrs. Van Dorm is anxious that your watch and any papers and nionoy you may have died possessed of, should bo sent to her forthwith." Ho colored, and looked intently at me, but said nothing. "She says that shebas dono a great deal for you," I went on, "and that yon aro under great obligations to her." "I told you what they have done," he said, a little hastily. "For tho rest, I have always paid my board, and never counted tho many presents I have mudo them. I tried to pay them ten-fold al! the expense they have been at for me, and I guess I have succeeded." "She is very far gone," I said, show? ing him tho letter. "See how feeble the writing is? It is impossible for them to come on after your body. She supposes it will bo decently buried here." Heine grow redder in the face, and a look of pain and mortification clouded his usually frank expression. "She says that you were engaged to her daughter," I said finally. A spark of fire shot from his wide opened eyes. "It is a lie!" he cried. I gave him the letter and he read it, his hands shaking aud his eyes flashing, while ho read, aud at tho last word, he fiercely tore tho sheet from end to end, then turned and hid his faco iu his pil? low. I thiuk the poor fellow shed tears at the bitterness of this awakening. I bent over him for a whispered word: "Ilemember tho comrades who loved you so much better than you thought. Perhaps they are not the only ones." I then left him to get over his troubles as best he might. Once iu awhile, as I went about, I glauced at him, sitting pale and grave, pretending to read. When I found time, I was about going to ask him what I should do about answering the letter, when one of the nurses came tome, say? ing that a lady was in my room waiting to seo me. I went ont immediately. Going iuto my shaded room, 1 saw a small black-robed figure sitting in my arm chair, and as she put her veil further back, caught sight of a thin, white face; that turned towards me. Sho said not a word, and did uot rise, but only sat there, as if half faintiug, and looked at mo. Alas! in that sorrowful place, I had growu too familiar with such sights of sadness. Ou lookiug more closely, I saw that this little lady was a youug girl, but so pule and hollow-eyed that ut first glance I might have taken her for twice her age. "My dear," I said, toking her hand, "you have como here to look for some friend. Do you know whether he is liv? ing or not?" She panted out a breath or two, and her pale lips fashioned the word "death!'' I turned to tho table and poured her ti glass of wine. She took it obediently, and leaned her head against thc back of the chair, but with her wildly searching eyes Rtill fixed on me. "Will you please tell me his name?'' I said, presently. She strove to speak, but seemed una? ble to utter the name. Then she put lier hand to tho bosom of her dress, and taking therefrom n card photograph, held it toward ino, but without relin? quishing it. I looked nud saw a tiue likeness of Bernard Heiue, in civilian's dress, evidently taken two or three years before. The sight electrified mc. I glanced np at tho white forehead, and there were the palo yellow locks drawn back from it, and there waa tho violet blue of the eyes, in which Heine had never aeon such anguish, so that only tho color waa left true of his description.
