The Angel of Shiloh. BI AN EX-ARMY SUBGEON. " Toil found the tavern foil ? " The speaker was a handsome, intelli- gent-looking gentleman of perhaps 40 -- evidently a citizen of the village, and resident of the handsome but unpreten­ tious dwelling-house in front of which lie v as standing. " Yes," I replied; " I was too late by half an hour, so the landlord informed me." . " You shall be welcome here, if you *ill accept of modest quarters and plain fare." The tone of voice, no less than the words uttered, assured me that the offer of hospitality was sincere, and with a grateful heart and a simple expression of thauks I passed through the gate and clasped the extended hand. of the man who, although I had not even known of bis existence till that minute, and who I had every reason to suppose a foe of the cause I represented--a rebel to the Gov­ ernment whose uniform I wore, yet in whom I recognized a friend and brother. " You are very kind," I paid, •' more kind than yon know, for I am not only weary but ill, or I should i10i have Bought lodgings indoors while my com­ rades were exposed to the privations of camp life." "I am glad of the opportunity to offer hospitality to a professional brother,' he responded, " for I know from the let­ ter on your hat-band that you are a sur geon, and I am a physician. This would have been sufficient to have prompted me to invite you in, but some­ thing else, a sudden but unexplainable impulse, which I could not resist, im­ pelled me to it." By this time I had been led into the family room--a most cheerful room. A beech wood lire blazed and g lowed upon the hearth ; a bright carpet with warm colors covered the room; an old-fash­ ioned mahogar.y sideboard stood to the left, and a bureau of the same rich wood faced it on the other side of the room, and m one corner a clock of "ye olden time," and known by the title of wall- sweeper, counted off the seconds with stately precision, and sounded the knell of the dying hours in a solemn mono­ tone. Easy-chairs stood back against the farther wall like sentries on an inner picket line, while the others were grouped nbout the cheerful fire, and these, as we entered, were occupied bj persons whose faces I could never have forgotten had I seen them but for a mo­ ment, and which are now photographed upon my heart forever and aye. There were three persons in this group, a ven­ erable old gentleman, a white-haired, matronly and kindly-faced old lady, and a golden-haired, blue-eyed young lady-- father, mother and daughter of my friendly host, Dr. Jewell. There is sometliing in a name, else how should these people be so appropri­ ately named? I. wondered and pon­ dered the more when I learned that Jhe brightest and richest and rarest gem in the ^rroup had the beautiful name of Lilian. I beg the reactor's pardon--I have not told him or her, as the case may be, who I qm, or when, how or where all thin good medicine for a man who has been drenched by a cold rain, I ordered some prepared, and hope you will join us in a glass before supper. But if you have any conscientious scruples we shall re­ spect them, and at once Bend the bowl from the room." *' I have no such scruples," I re­ sponded. " It is the abuse and not the proper use of stimulants that forms the oasis < a faint voice and difficult articulation, he said : " You have saved my life, and I thank you." "You owe me no thanks, Lieutenant; I should be an ingrate did I not serve, to the utmost of my ability, the son of my friend, Dr. Jewell, the brother of his precious daughter, Lilian." " Is this a dream ? How--where did you know my father and sister ?" lK,uua me "Be calm, my near friend; I will my temperance creed, and there 1 tell you all, but not now. Enough s when brandy is a blessing, and ) I found, you, and serve you."_ I shall join of are times this is one of the times, you most heartily." At the close of my speech the old gen­ tleman gave place to his wife, who ad­ vanced and filled the goblets to the brim, while Lilian handed them around. When each of the gentlemen had1* been supplied with full and foaming beakers, and the ladies with smaller glasses only . . - , - - , . part full, the father said to the son, 1 -f Vy, and the generous hospital- "Give a toast, Walter--one suited to : ify ,^ mtit y.1"1 there. I showed him the occasion." j .® p o,?,f hunself Klven me by his The doctor complied by saying : - "ster, and the marvelous dream which «< tlt . . . had prompted me to ask for the picture May the acquaintance begun to-| was rehearsed. " Doctor " he said as I n^ght ripen into a friendship before j closed my story, "I don't think I am which all sectional and political preju- ! superstitious, but I believe your dream dioes shall dissolve and disappear; and ! was a presentiment, given you by my In my arms 1 bore the wounded of- fioer to my tent, pud vigilantly did I watch by his side until morning came. He had lost much blood, and his wound was painful, but not especially danger­ ous ; hence, he recovered rapidly, and within a month he was well again. In the meantime I had told him the story ot my uup omptu visit to his old Ken- may that friendship live and flourish in the hearts of all present when this cruel war shall exist only as a sad and sorrow­ ful reminiscence." " I most heartily indorse the senti­ ment you have so beautifully expressed," I responded, and beg leave to quote from a Northland poet in reply:. May the song birds of peace soon revisit onr glade*, And'our children clasp hands where their fathers crossed blades." A reverent and fervent Amen burst from the lips of the old gentleman as lie touched my glass with his and raised it to his lips • tears rolled down the fur­ rowed features of his good wife, and tears stood in the blue eyes of the beauti- fnl Lilian, and the loner silken lashes tuat curtained those heavenly orbs drooped and quivered like the dew- laden willow fringe that hides from sight the hry^tal waters of a spring in the valley of Eden--the Eden of my childhood. Supper being ann6uneed at this mo­ ment, the old folks led the way, and the doctor, taking my arm, followed them into a large, old-fashioned room, which served as both kitchen and diuing-room. j It was a most cheerful and home-like j place; the table, which stood in the i center of the uncarpeted floor, presented ! a neat, inviting appearance to a soldier who had been on short rations for some days, and who had eaten nothing for twelve hours. Ham and eggs, and de­ licious corn cakes, done to a turn, with sweet country butter, and coffee with real cream, constituted the bill of fare. It was ample, and I did full justice to it. The evening hours flew rapidly past on downy wings of friendly converse, till the old ' ' ' " the hour angel mother. It was she, and not my sister, vou saw holding my head on her Iap» Lilian is marve'ovs'y like h?r mother, and could readily "have been mistaken for her." "At least, in a dream," I added, pleas­ antly. "Yes, or by moonlight, in the waking hours. But please don't try to break my faith in the reality of that vision of yours. It has come true almost to the last particular." | "It has," I responded, " and I believe in its reality as firmly as you can." I told the story to Gen. M., and it softened his heart so greatly that when I asked permission to take my friend to his home it was readily granted. The reader may be safely left to pict­ ure to himself the joyful meeting of the long-absent son with his loving grand­ parents, father and sister, and the ex­ pressions of gratitude and friendship showered upon my humble self. My leave of absence was for thirty days. I spent a fortnight of it with my Kentucky friends, and when I departed I carried with me two miniature por­ traits. One of them had golden hair, and eyes of heaven's own blue, and lips that rivaled the ripening pomegranate, and cheeks like the sunny side of a lus­ cious peach. Nor was that all I had to gladden my bachelor heart. The origi­ nal of the picture had said that " when this cruel war should be over I might come again, and then she would gladly go with me to my Northern home as my wife.7' I have only to add that she is looking over my shoulder as I write, and trying to convince me that the public (meaning --o" "• wmciBC, j . . ... » ;-- \---- clock in the corner annoiinced i 7'reader) will laugh at me for of 11, when the thoughtful I ^ *o tell how I was capt- mother mildly suggested that the Major ' " y a rebel girl, and at her for be- was doubtless tired and would like to I ln8 ®° ea®1v converted from her Becesli retire. I disclaimed any thought of : ?u *° unwavering loyalty to happened. My nami ant I i»m from John and Priscilla Alden, name is Alden ; a lineal descend- whose romantic history you have doubt­ less read in poetry if not in prose. My ancestors had gone West almost a centu­ ry ago, hence those provincial prejudices so characteristic of those descendants of the Ma\ flower party who still cling to the crags of Plymouth Rock had been lost in the broad and fertile valleys of the Ohio, or they had wandered off and found a flower-bespangled grave on the boundless prairies of Illinois. At any rate they found no place iu my heart. The time of which I write was Janua­ ry, 1862. Place, Southwestern Ken­ tucky. Grant's army was making a grand reconnoissance in force, with a view to feeling of the enemy before making an attack upon Fort Donaldson. A cold, pitiless rain had pelted us all day, and was still pouring down upon soldiers and officers alike. When the village of B. camc in view, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I had trudged through the mud aud waded swollen streams from early morn, having surrendered my horse to a sick soldier of the brigade to which I was attached, and was, there­ fore, worn and weary, and almost ill. Immediately after the order had been passed along the line to halt and pitch tents for the night, a large number of officers galloped on to the village nnd sought shelter beneath the roof of the hotel it contained. It had been my pnrpose to get a hot supper and dry be<l also, but my professional duties detained me for some time, and when I reached the door of the inn I was informed that not only all the beds, but every square foot of the parlor ana sitting-room floors had been pro-empted. It was while sadly wending my way back t'i camp that I had the rare good fortuue, or fate, to attract the attention of Dr. Jewell. My boots were covered with mud, my clothes dripping with wat r. and 1 felt as if chilled to the mar­ row < 'f mv bones and the ceuter of my heart. It took but a brief time to warm me, however, for the elements of warmth were abuudaut. At his request 1 fol­ lowed the doctor into his chamber and donned a suit of his clothes, while he sent my own by a colored boy to the kitchen to be dried. Returning to the p u'lor, 1 observed a large bowl of steam- lug punch, flanked by goblets, upon a t:ible which had been drawn Up near the hre, and by which an easy chair had been placed. The family arose as the <»octor and I advanced, and the old gen­ tleman delivered a very brief but verv eloquent terajwrance speech. He said*- " Y< u Northerners have peculiar n^ •ions about Jthe use of liquor at least Mime of you iiave. i have been toj. i that in some plxces it is an insult to a gne<t to offer him a glass of hot punch. Wc Southerners think d fferently. With ns it id au act of hospitality to invite our friends, and even strangers, to join us in • social glass. I do not know what your weariness, and indeed I uttered but the pimple truth in saying that I had not been so entirely refreshed for weeks. It is passing strange what power there is in good-fellowsliip to restore the wasted energies of the body as well as the spirit. So we sat another--a brief, a delicious hour--and then the good- nights were said, and I retired to sleep •and dream. The blue-eyed Lilian formed the web, aud horrid battle-scenes the woof of my visions. The beautiful girl had scarcely uttered a dozen words during the evening, but she had l>een a most eloquent auditor. She had sat al­ most directly opposite me, and my eyes rested upon her face as I addressed oth­ er members of the group, and they did not fail at any time to meet a sympa­ thetic response from her heaven-tinted orbs; nor was there the least embar­ rassment in this, for her countenance bore such a perfect expression of inno­ cent interest as to reveal a spirit at once modest and pure as an angel. In my dream a bloody battle was raging. My ears were filled with the boom of cannon, the crash of sm ill arms, the s ream of shell, and th - shrieks and groans of dying men. The scene changed. I wandered over the fields of carnages The dead were thick about me. A groan reached my ear, and I bent my steps in the direction whence the sound came. A soldier, in gray uni­ form, with a Lieutenant's strap upon his shoulders, lay upon the ground, with his head resting upon the lap of a woman. I said, "If I can be of any service, please command." A pair of blue eyes were lifted toward my face, and a voice, sad but musical, said, " Oh ! I am so glal it is you ; you are a sur­ geon as well as a friend, and my brother is dangerously wounded." Those eyes, tnat voice ; could I be mistaken ? No, it was Lilian, and the wounded young officer her brother. What joy, what happiness to he able to serve her: aye. perhaps save the life of her brother-- the son of my friend. A rap on iny chamber door dispelled i the vision, and the pleasant greeting of Dr. Jewell restored me to my normal state. But my dreams remained as a vivid memory of a startling reality. I could not but believe that it was a pre­ sentiment, and, although I kept it locked in my heart as a sad, though cherished secret, I resolved to ask Lilian for a picture of her brother which she had shown me the evening before. So, just as 1 was on the point of leaving, I said, "Miss Lilian, I wish you would give me a photograph of vour brother. It is possible I may meethim, and if I should it would prove my passport to li is fyjgsd- ship." "I will," she replied, "for you may be of sen-ice to him, and I know you would do him a kindness if you could." "Most gladly would I, both for his own sake and as a reward, in part, for the great kindness I have ex- )»erienced at the g family." The voungLieutenant's handsome face bore a striking likeness to that of his sister, and for that I prized it and cher­ ished ' it. I wore it constantly in an inner pocket of my vest. The stirring j scenes intervening dimmed somewhat I the' memories of my vision as time I passed, but could not blot it from my j mind. | The battle of Shiloh had been fought, ! and during the whole of it my mind i reverted to the dream. It seemed but a repetition of a tragedy of which I had witnessad the rehearsal. Impelled by | some strange impulse I could not resist, I wandered out upon the battlefield at midnight. Every spot seemed familiar. The dead faces were those that I had seen in my dream. A groan--aye, the Bame groan I had heard on that ever- memorable night of January, 1862. I hurried to the side of the poor feilow from whose agonized lips it came. He was prone upon the cold earth, with his head resting upon his left arm, while with his i ight hand he was striving tc check the flow of blord from a gunshot wound in his left breast. A glance told me I had found the son of my friend--the brother of Lilian. Fortunately, I had with me the means of stopping the flow of blood; also a canteen of water and a flask of brandy. No word was spoken until I had done all generous hands of his Wot a Bcvera|e> "Tbey aie not a btverage, but a medicine, with curative properties of the highest degree, containing no poor wlmky or poisonous drttgH.

A man who had committed a dreadful murder fled, and was pursued by the officers of the law and the relatives of the murdered victim. On reaching the river Nile he saw a lion on the bank, and, be­ ing dreadfully afraid, climbed up a tree. He, however, discovered a serpent iu the upper branches of the tree, and. being gTeatly alarmed, threw himself into the river, where he was carried oft' and eaten by a crocodile. Thus the earth, the air and the water, alike refused shelter to a murderer. The foregoing fable was written fully two thousaud years ago and teaches us how true it is that times change, and we change with them; also; that not every change is for the better. If the murder referred to had been com­ mitted now, instead of two thousaud years ago, the murderer--unless he were a poverty-stricken, friendless wretch, a mere superfluous human quantity--in­ stead of fleeing from the sheriff, would have hunted him up and given bail, in order to be better nble to assist his at­ torneys in procuring continuances from term to term and tampering with the State's witnesses, stealing or quashirtg the original indictment, procuring changes of venue, appeals, reversals, re- mandments, aud otherwise securing his complete vindication, when, iu the course of time or eternity, his trial came off, if it ever did. This, fable teaches us that there was ouce a period when /he mur­ derer was regarded with such abhorrence that even the wild beasts and the ele­ ments refused him protection. It is comfortiug to know that there was such a period.--Galveston News. ANXIOUS TO RI8IE. [From tho La Fayette Dally Journal.] There's plenty ol room up stair*, as Daniel Webster said to the young lawyer anxious to rise, but despondent of his chance to do so; but no one need injure himself either in climbing the stairs of fame or those of his own house or business plaec. '1 lie following is to the point: Mr. John A. Hutchinson, £upt. I)«>«ner's Kerosene Oil Works, Bos­ ton, Mass., writes: Mr. Patton,,one of our foremen, in walking up stairs last week sprained his leg badly. I ' gave him a bottle o! St. Jacobs Oil "to try. He used it and an almost instantaneous cure was effected. Starving Out Cancers. At a meeting of the Medical and Chir- urgical Society, of Leeds, England, an account of an interesting case of quies­ cent schirrus was given by Dr. Teale. The patient was an unmarried lady of 35. A cancer formed in her breast, causing retraction and ultimately loss of the nip­ ple ; it ulcerated ; some auxiliary glands enlarged, and the patient seemed about to die. But in consequence, as it ap­ peared, of the small quantity of food taken by the patient, the cancer was " starved." It atrophied slowly, and now, nine years after its first appear­ ance, there was nothing but a hard cica­ trix left in the breast and axilla. Cases more or less similar were related in the discussion which followed. Ail Old Book. Interesting glimpse into our early history is afforded by an old worm-eaten gazateer which was found lately in a private library. It was issued in the first of this cen- tury, by J. Bain, of Baltimore. -Geo­ graphical information is oddly min gled with scientific facts, and j. Rain's vehement opinions concerning tlio British, aud the (then) "late war" with them, obtrude in every page. Thosa "ruthless invaders," he assures us, "ex­ hibited a barbaric cruelty uaequaleu since the days of the Saracens and Van­ dals." Philadelphia wss then "the metropolis of the country." Washington could "boast of four Churches, a gaol ami a hotel" Boston hstd twenty-three churches. It had, also, "a fine row of warehouses on the north side of the pier, and a handsome 6treet running from the pier to the town-house." {$The Eldorado for emigrants was "The Ohio," which was then the far West. Long lines of high, canvas-covered wagons took their way over the Alle­ ghany Mountains, drawn'bv eight horse; each usually decorated with an arrav < f bells; the wife, children, chairs, plow and a feather-bed were piled up iu the wagon; underneath it ran the watch-dog; the father and oldest boy walked along­ side, with their rifles slung on then backs. The journey occupied two months or more, which the emigrant of the present makes in twenty-four hours. When the squatter was once settled, however, in his cabin, his bill of fare was as luxur; ous as that of a city gourmand nowadays Bear's meat, venison, pheasant, and wil turkeys were the pieef's-ftc-vcxistaihce of ' his daily diifner, while wild honey, i golden trout, and partridges filled the ! smaller dishes. j It is a useful study to compare the 1 lives and privations o! onr ancestors who I conquered the grim forests of the New !

Crops and clothes | enough for the year to come, and a ! woods-preachiug or a house-raising now ! and then satisfied their desires. 1 It was a poor, meager life, according i to our more civilized notions; but it had j in it a content which we have universally ! lost out of our own household furniture. : -- Youths' Companion. j Profitable Patients.

When a lobster shakes hands with you yon always know when he takes hold, and are exceedingly plei)»ed when it gets done. They have small features, and lay no claim to good looks;' When they lo- comote they resemble a small boy shuf­ fling off in his father's boots. They are backward, very. They even go ahead backward. They occasionally have a row like people, and in the melee lose a meml>er, but have the faculty of growing out another. The process is patented both in this country and Europe, which accounts for not coming iuto general use with the human lobster so to speak. A lobster never comes on shore unless he is carried by force. They are af­ flicted with bnt one disease, and that is Iwils. There is more real excitement in harpooning a whale or in having the measles than there is in catching lobsters. The fisherman provides a small lien-coop, and places in it for eatieers, several dead fish. He then rows his boat to the lob­ ster ground (which is water) and sinks his coop to the bottom, and anchors it to a small buoy (one from eight to ten years will do) and then goes home. When he feels like it again--say in the course of a week or so--he goes back and pulls his poultry-house, and if he has good success he will find the game inside the coop. As an article of food the real goodness of the lobster is ip the pith. Very few persons relish the skin, and physicians say it ia hard to digest. We therefore take the lobster and boil it uutil it is ready to eat. Nothing is better for eolic than boiled lobster. It will bring on a case when cucumbers have failed. For a sudden case we advise them crumbled in milk. Eaten at the right time, aud in proper quantities, lobster stands second to no fruit known.
