Oliver," said Jane slowly, "that you are startlingly like a a person I used to know? When I first saw you the other night I took you for him." A person you used to know! Oh, Jane, that was the most unkindest cut of all. "My cousin, Elliott Cameron, I suppose?" I answered as indifferently as I could. "We resemble each other very closely.

Harvey in his own mind as eccentric. "Excuse me, ma'am," he said. "I didn't know as he was parlor company." "Well, he is," said Mrs. Harvey with a cordial smile that won Rodney's heart. "Follow me!" said the lady. Rodney followed her into a handsome apartment and at a signal seated himself on a sofa. "Now," she said, "I am ready to listen to your message."
"After all, perhaps, it isn't his fault," Penelope said, breathing a little sigh of relief as she rose to her feet. "Mr. Harvey is not always considerate, and I know that several of the staff are away on leave." "That's right, my dear," the Duchess said, smiling, "stick up for your countrymen.

It is, quite warm now, and the ice has gone out of the river, so there will be no trouble at the ford to-morrow, when we start back. There is one company of Faye's regiment stationed here, and the officer in command of the post is major of the Third, so we feel at home. We are staying with Lieutenant Harvey, who is making it very pleasant for us.

When I approached the President on Monday morning to discuss further the matter with him, he said: "I greatly regret this interview of Colonel Harvey. How can I now with propriety offer him any post?
Harvey, an experienced and brave officer, was not long in discovering that the enemy kept a bad look out. He resolved upon surprising them. Accordingly, he waited for the darkness of night, under cover of which, a sudden attack was made so successfully, that he made prisoners of two generals and a hundred and fifty men, besides capturing four guns.
