Stretched in full length before tho camp fire, I was enJenvonng to snatch a short, rcposo, to prepare mo for the axsault, which was to take place at day-break. ""Tho attempt was useless; slumber gave me the cold shoulderj'. and I found myself intently observing my captain, who occu pied the other Hide of the fire. : Hu was sitting on an old box, wrapped in hi cloak, and gazing among the smoul dering embers, with an expression of coun tetiHiico so intcuscly mournful . that my sympathy was at once irresistibly drawn towards him. ' - Ilia face was of an ashy paleness, con trasting strongly with his jetly hair and eyes.' Ins beard had been sutterod . to grow for weeks unchecked by tho edge of a razor, and its exuberance iucrcased his haggard look. Captain Archer was a mystery to the whole regiment. Young, finely formed endowed by nature, with a face of classic beauty, ho seemed born to enjoy every happiness; yet, a constant melencholy per vadod his very action. He made no one his companion studiously avoiding all intercourse with his brother officers sel dom spoke unless it was on duty. The life lie led was one of extreme isolation. Notwithstanding the solitary habits of Archer, he was respected by his brother officers, for he was brave to rashness, on tho battle field, and treated all who ap proached him witlf gentlemanly courtesy. Being his first lieutenant, I was slightly exempted from the formal mannor he adopted towards others, our duties bring ine us in constant contact. I never had intruded upon his sorrow with an Inquisi tive questioning; he felt and appreciated the delicacy, and though he never spoke his thauks, his eyes expressed them. Hav ing secured his good opinion, I was care ful enough to retain it. Having nothing better te do, I lay with niy eyes riveted upon his face, while my imagination ran riot in speculating over his history. As I gnzf'd, a deep righ i isued from his lips, and aroused hitu from his abstraction. Our eyes met; he studied my countenance for a moment as if intent on reading my thoughts. He aeemed satisfied with the scrutiny, for he said immediately, with that constant tinge of melancholy which ever accompanied hia Toice-7- .. "Are you not asleep, Mr. Lieutenant Georce?" .

".1 shall at la meet the death I have so ofteneought in vain.". "Sought, Captais?". I repeated, in as tonishment, gazing in his face,, which wore a look of calm resignation. : . . ,; '? "You are surprised that I should, wish to die," he continued, in the same mournful strain. "It excites your wonder that one so young as I am-r-for I am only twenty five should have grown weary of this life. Ah! my friend, the heart may grow agccl in a day, and when such is the rase, the young frame that enshrines it cannot reconcile it to the world."

Her uncle had given her a home, and instituted a suit to recover her property, r Delia Hallct was seventeen when I first beheld her, and I thought her the loveliest of her sex. I will not attempt to describo the charms which made me her slave, suffice it to say that I loved her with my whole being. . "I sought every opportunity of securing her society, and our acquaintance soon ripened into intimacy ; my love was told and accepted. Delia promised to be my wife,, only on one condition, and that was, if she gained her law-suit, as her fortune would then nearly equal my own "I endeavored in vain to combat thin resolution. She was firm against all my entreaties; she acknowledged her love for me, but, in the samo breath, she told me I should never call her mine so long as she remained a beggar, 'I left her with the determination to ex ert all my energies in her cause, I would prove myself worthy of her by winning her. Animated by this idea. I ut once of fered my Bevicea to be her guardian; they were joyfully accepted. Wc labored to gether.

Time passed slowly to my eager anticipation. ,. The eve of the day came I was aitting in my office, when a servant brought mo the alarming intelligence that Delia had disappeared, no one knew wuetli er. At tho samo timo he placed in my hand a note addressed to mo, in ber well known handwriting. I toro it open with trembling hands. - It contained these few words which have sinco then been indelibly nmrraved ou uiv heart: "Edward Forgive me for having so long deceived you. I never loved you.
