She looked like a savage edition of a head I have seen among Julian's crayon studies. Her dusky arms were hare. A few brass rings or nanented her wrists. 11er dress was composed of two rectangular pieces of a dark and coarse woolen stuff borlered witd rez ; the latter is a favorite color of Indians. These pieces were joined at one cnd. a place being left open for the head to pass throu.h. A piece of buckskin bound them about her waist Her feet were small and well formed, but truth compels me tc confess that they were thickly encrusted with the yellow mud of the Cieneza. The nearest approach to a washing they ever made was when her path lay across a brook which she had to ford. Her hands, alas ! were covered with dirt and clay, for it was my poor little no noheroine's - heroine's noheroine's daily labor to dig up the papa, or Navajo potato, with her young fingers.

"Please, Mr. Conductor, [ ain't got no money, but I want to get home quick, for Billy's hurted very bad." The speaker was a shabbily at attired - tired attired little girl, apparently about nine years of age, who had just en tered a car near Dover street, car carrying - rying carrying in her arms, wrapped in a faded shatwl, what appeared to be a baby. "I knows your car, mister," she continued, 'it goes close to my street; and Il1l get the money from father an' pay you." "All right, sis," said the conduc conductor, - tor, conductor, kindly.

She had hardly ceased speaking when there was a convulsive move movement - ment movement in the shawl, followed by a subdued yelp; then all was still. Half opening the bundle, the little girl glanced into it. '-Oh, dear, dear !"she cried, b irs t ting - ing ting into tears. '-what shall I do ? -Billy's dead." So saying, she threw back the shawl, and exposed to view the bruised and battered remains of a. small mongrel terrier, that lookei. in truth, as much tike a piece of' ragged door-mat as anything. --Oh ! dear ! dear," she repeated, again and again, between her sobs, I"what shall I do?"

THE HAMPTON BATLE-FL.A;. 'The flag of the II unpton Legion was made from a portion of the wedding dress of Mrs. IHIampton, and was presented by her in per son to the connmand. Ime fewc shreds of it which remain show hons faithfully it was borne in the thick est of the fray. More than twenty men have gone to their soldiers rest while hearing it aloft amid the din and horror of battle. At thE beginning of the war Gen. llamp ton was a wealthy man. He sup plied his soldiers and quarterec them on his own grounds. ThE Legion comprised some of the bes1 men in the State, and there wer< scores of young planters and pro fessionnl men who, volunteering as mere privates, with little hope o promotion. represented millions o1 dollars. The esprit dui corps wa: something remarkable. INCIDENTS RELATING TO THE LEGION An incident that occurred with, in the observation of the writer i1. lustrates her meaning. It is that of Dr". Hlyder 1). Bedon, now ol Mississippii, who served in the ranks during the entire war, fromi the toesin that called him to Bull Run to thme tap of the last drum at Appomattox. Being remionstrated with by friends who dlepicted the hardships of camp life in his capa. city as a private, his reply was "Any man will except the position of ail officer. but every man will not fight as a private. I'll take my chances and endeavor to do my duty." HIe fought gallantly and camne out of the war unscathed. A humorous incident is related of' an another - other another private in the Legion whc left a sumptuous home. The reg iment was encamped near the Po Potomiac, - tomiac, Potomiac, and the young warrior hay. ing been taught that "cleanliness was akin to godliness" decided not only to take a bath himiself, but tc wash his clothing, lie did so and hung thle latter on the neighboring limbs to dry while be went to sleep On awakening he fourd that every vestige of his attire had been stob-'n probably by some luckless indiv idual whose mirals had not been improved by war and whose wantm were w. rse. 'l his was a predica ment for a seldier of the Legion who might expect marching orders a any momne:'t. HIe arose to the situ ation, however, and stating the ca-i to his friends, they called tie corn pany together to consider the ques tion~of "repairs." They voted bin an outfit in very short order. but fo: uniqueness it has doubtless seldon been equaled. A coat was con tributed by one, e pair of trousera by another, a sock and a shoe by third. etc. Not an article was o the proper dimensious. but it serve< as a temporary covering- for which he was grateful, and when thme en tire "get up" was complete. time boy: christened him, --The Child of thi Regiment." A QUIET QUAKER. While the Legion were encampe< on the banks of the Opequan, ini Vir ginia, an old Quaker rode into camp~ Ie was mounted on the back of' sorry looking mule and was himsell with his "thces'- and *'thous." a typ ical specinman of an anti-beligcren from the backwoods. The boy jeered him from one end of the cam] to the oIlher, but lie paid liitle atter tion to them until he reached tb headquarters of Gen. Hampton where, being met and co)rdiall greeted by a number of officers, h quietly raised the colored glasse that concealed his,eyes, removed wig? and revealed the familiar feal ures of one of the most daring scout in the Army of Virginia.

The papers are all a blaze of ex excitement - citement excitement at the continuance of the elopement epidemtic, and while we are not moraily certain that we ca:i prove it contagious on the spo;tdic theory it is nevertheless true that the man who has money and pretty daughters had better look out for them, for while it may be possible to take care of one of these treasu treasures - res treasures in the Bank Vault or in the strong box of the safe Deposit. the other treasure is an uncertain do domestic - mestic domestic factor that hangs within the reach of every bu cher boy, gro. cery clerk, or coachman and like the riches spoken of in the good book, it takes wings to itself and flies m:way. It not only flies away but the butcher. the grocery clerk or the coachman contrives to fly about the same time, and there lieth the mi'k in the cocoanut. It is well enough to look this thing squarely in the face, and al although - though although Broadbrim is not vain enough to suppose that anythlin ghe can say will prevent any foolish girl from making a ninny of herself, yet there are many s rvices in tihis world for which we neither espect nor receive any reward, and this is one of them. When the world was very young Love was blind, and now that he has grown old1, in audit-on to the original calamity of his birth hie is deaf. No logic moves him, no rea reason - son reason swerves him from his wayward fancies; ruin mighlt be right in front of him. but being blind he does not see it. 'rThe most logical reasons might be presented to turn him aside from his headstrong course, but being deaf he does not hear it. Strong minded females may say whut they please. but there is a very wide diversity between men and women, and it is nowhere seen in suchl glaring colors as in the matter of marriage. An intelkcc intelkcctdal - tdal intelkcctdal cultivated man may possibly marry and love an ignorant unculti vated woman, one who notwith. standing her ignorance l as a gen gentie - tie gentie and affectionate nature. one who does her best to sooth him in his hours of sorrow; who thinks of bis comforts and provides for them; men are grateful for these things, for small as they may appear to the unthinking they are the weights that turn the golden balance of life. Dr. Johnson, the intellectual Colossus of h:s age, though a coarse brute in his ordinary associations, found in Mrs. T1hrale- (an ignorant old dod)an aglo light, -which was a joy and a consolation to him up to the day of her deatht Rosseau adored his house keeper, and ignorant as site was, h - delight delighted - ed delighted in reading to 1her the choicest productions of his genius, and it is equally certain thtat he entertained a most profound reverence for her opinions- Hlenreich IIein when he was electrifying Germany with his writings, was thme devoted slave of a woman who could scarcely read one of his manuscripts, aid wai not only ignorant but vulgar and ugly.. Men may do this, but I doubt if the woman was ever born who could long love a man who was intellctually her in ferior. Miss Morrisini is not the first young wo wo-man - -man wo-man who ran away with her fatther's coachman and she will not be the last, but I have yet to see a single -instance where the match was a happy one, and where the woman ldid not repent her hasty choice in ~sackcloth and ashes.
