Oa Tap at Um BIm MMg*—A Story of the Lata War, “There la no doubt,” said an old soldier yesterday, “that many singular things occur as we journey through life, and he looked as though memory was struggling with some sad feature of his existence. He sighed as ha con tinued: “I remember as though it was yesterday the march of Hlfl's corps along the winding Shenandoah up to the famous Luray gap. Who could ev er fonget that march r The road wind ing w|th the beautiful river, and over hung with the majestic chain of the Blue Ridge mountains, while across the crystal water the magnificent valley, with its ebarming cottages dotting the bounteous land with white-like balls of snow robed in flowers. But the most engaging and lovely obtocts paled into insignificance beside the peerless wo men of this blessed country, and you may well believe that when the camp was struck tbe soldiers lost no time in making their way to the sarronnding cottages. Soon the music of the violin was heard, and the shuffling feet kept lime to the music, while, for a time,the soldier’s face was lit with an old time joy. At one of these cottages the belle of the valley reigned supreme, while several southern soldiers vied .with each other in paying homage to the queen. Among others were two young soldiers—one from Georgia and the other from Mississippi—who were specially energetic in their attentions, and so marked had this become that those present watched the play with constantly increasing interest, fully be lieving that both exhibited a case of love at first sight This surmise on the part of those present was only too true, event which foui report cot on the Aid night a pula maintained their .

An altercation ensued, but both were cool, brave sold iers—two of tho best shots in the army —who did not believs in a war of word*. So it was ended by tbs Georg ian dancing with the lady, and the sig nificant remark of the Miasisslppiiui that “I will see you after this set'’ “When the dance was over tbe Geor gian was seen to seek the Mississippian, and together they each called a friend from the crowd and departed. \ When outaide both claimed that an instlt had been passed, which could only bo wip-' ed out in the blood of the other, and that a duel to the death should be ar ranged at once. A fall moon waa just appearing above tbe tops of the sur rounding forest, and I tell you thia talk of blood in the silence of the night anything but pleasant No argument, however, would avail with these men, so it was arranged that tho dnel shoulr take place on the top of the Bine Ridge, near the center of the road that passes through the gap; that the weap ons should bo pistols st fifteen paces, and to fire at or between the words one, two, three,’ firing to continue un til one or both were dead. The point was reached, measured off. and the mei positions without a tremor, shed its pale light down on er to be forgotten. A moment and the silence was broken by the sig nal: “One, two, three.” At the word “It’s an awfully trying process, in deed it is, trying on a dress, and yon need not laugh at mo for saying so," and an intense young lady pursed up her lips and looked with a glance O; retrospective annoyance upon her com panion, a reporter for the San Francis co Chronicle, who was evidently chaff ing her about her late experienra. • Now, do you mean to tell nfflt” said the man, between the jolts of tbe car, as it bumped over the Kearuey street crossing of Sutter street, “thatyou ac tually faint when you try on a dress?” "It is a fact that I do, and I do not want to bo laughed at about it at all Why, I am not the only one who faints. Other girls do. Ob, it is drosdful! I perfectly dread the idea of going near a dressmaker.” And the fair voung lady gave a pretty shrug to her should- ers. “What kind of dresses make yon faint the most when you are trying them on?” continued her persecutor. “Oh, this kind,” and tbe iU-naed be ing kicked oat a foot which raised a blue skirt.

The girl of 16 who will neither sew nor do nousework has no business to be decked out in finery and rambling about in search of fun and frolic unless her >arents are rich, and in that event she needs the watchful direetton of a good mother none the less. There is no ob- ection to fun, but it should be well- chosen and well-timed. No woman or i£irl who will not work has*a right to share the wages of a poor man’s toil. If she does work, if she makes the clothes she wears and assists in the household duties, the chances are she will have enough self respect to behave herself when playtime comes, but if shp should still be a little “wild” the honest toil she has done will confer upon her some degree of right to have her own way, illdudged though it may be. The wild girl usual!v aspires to prominence in some Social circle or other, and her manners and conduct are in a greater or less degree designed to attract the following of men. She should remem ber that followers are not always ad mirers, and that the most sincere ad miration a man ever feels for a woman in a drawing-room is when he looks upon her anerhays in his own conscious ness: “She is a perfect lady.”—Amer ican Queen.
