way told liow desolate his life had been until 
something in her letter had roused a hidden 
energy in his soul and made him determine 
hereafter to lie a man, and not the mere exist¬ 
ence which he had been. She hud made him 
think of his mother who had gone away beyond 
the stars. At last the letter was signed, scaled 
and sent. 
Time passed. So did the mail-bags to and from 
the army of the Potomac, but. heavier now by rea¬ 
son of Bili/v’s correspondence. It was winter. 
The army, or that division with which our 
friends wire connected, was in winter quarters, 
patiently waiting, like Mr. MicawhkroI old, for 
“ something to turn up.” It was a long, weari¬ 
some winter fortho.se strong, brave hearts, and 
ere spring many of their number had found 
rest. With their blankets folded about them 
they had lain down to a sleep from which no 
sounding drum could awaken them. Some had 
gone home to their friends—gone home, but the 
ones who loved them could ouly look upon their 
pale, cold faces, then lay them down in the 
family burial place beside the dear ones who 
already slept there. It is hard to see a cher¬ 
ished oue, under our watchful eyes and tender 
hands, drawing the last breath and stiffening 
into marble before us, but the affliction is nothing 
compared to the grief of having our beloved lie 
down and die among strangers, on the battle- 
held, in the hospital, or camp. 
Long nights had Biu.v watched by the side of 
a comrade toosick to be removed to the hospital, 
when the wind whistled through the rent can¬ 
vass of their tent, and drove the rain in upon 
the pallet of the sick. At last be too lay tossing 
and moaning with the camp fever. Captain 
Harris, who was a kind-hearted man, heard of 
bis sickness and looked in one evening to see if 
he was comfortably eared for, as it was a matter 
of personal pride with him that none of his 
company should sutler while it was in his power 
to render them assistance. As he stood by the 
sick man’s side and took the hard, rough hand 
in his own, Billy opened his eyes, and as he 
saw- who it was looking at him, he clasped the 
Captain’s hand tightly and with a grateful look 
and an earnest voice said:—” God bless ye, 
Cap’n, and if you ever lie in such a place as this, 
or feel your life crcepin’ out through a rebel 
bullet hole, as 1 hope ye never will, may some¬ 
body be near to look kindly on ye. There, if ye 
haiut put yer own blanket over a poor feller .'> 
A nd t he hot tears gushed from his eyes as from 
a child’s, as he said it. He went on. “ Cap’n, 
you've been kind to me a great many times; I 
thank you for iL But I wish you’d do one thing 
more for me—stay by me tonight. It’s the last 
night I’ve got to stay in your company before 
I’m discharged. I’ve got my marchin’ orders 
and am goin' to cross the river anti join the 
reg’lar army. When I’m gone I wish you’d 
write a letter and send with the other things in 
my knapsack.’’ 
“Oh, yes, 1*11 watch wjth you, but 1 hope you 
will be better in the mornin. 
“ Captain,” then a letter in a smaller envelope 
undirected. 
“Shade of Anehises 1 What’s this?” he ex¬ 
claimed with much astonishment; then, after 
dustiug the ashes from his meerschaum, he 
opened the note and read:—“ Captain, will you 
write upon the accompanying letter the name of 
the private soldier under your command who 
seems most to need kind words and the good in¬ 
fluences of a cheerful home circle, to follow 
him. Deliver it where it will be of most real 
benefit ir. cheering some low-spirited or sad 
soldier, who seems to have the fewest friends to 
gladden his loneliness by letters. Accept, the 
best wishes for the success of our army, and the 
triumph of liberty, from Alice Vance.” 
He folded the note, placed it in his pocket, 
then in silence looked at. the sealed envelope be¬ 
fore him as though he would like very much to 
know its contents. 
“Here is a chance for romance! Am not I 
the man who most needs to read this letter ? If 
I like the style of it I can answer it in the char¬ 
acter of a private; if not, put it in a new en¬ 
velope and give it to some of my boys, as 
requested. Alice Yajtce! It’s a pretty name, 
and a pretty hand she writes, too. I wonder if 
she is handsome? I wish I had that rare gift 
which some people claim to possess, of reading 
a man's character from his penmanship, just as 
a phrenologist does from his head. Let me see: 
patriotism, prominent. There seems to be an 
indication of largeness of soul, integrity of pur¬ 
pose, and something truly noble and thoroughly 
ladylike in the whole turn and look of the billet.” 
He turned the letter in his hand as he spoke 
and was about to open it, when Iris attention 
was attracted towards a man who sat at some 
distance from him, apparently morose and sul¬ 
len, and who had a way of sitting for hours 
alone and in silence, and making himself unhap¬ 
py by meditating upon all the trials of life, its 
uphill path, his own thorny way in particular, 
instead of trying to smooth down the hill Dilli- 
culty by a cheerful and patient preseverance. 
Billy Morris had lost his parents w hen a 
child and had since found a home where he 
could. He had been treated as an inferior sort 
of being, whose chief duty lay in obeying and 
waiting upon others. He had found the world a 
hard, stern master, against whose caprices and 
desiges he was powerless. At twenty-one he 
found himself a man with but little education, 
and less social and moral culture. He had cov¬ 
ered the grave of the past with his childhood 
and youth. Tbe future had no bright hopes for 
him; it was all a dark blank. He bad no aspira¬ 
tions for the future. So, w T hen the war broke 
out, Billy Morris was among the first to en¬ 
list. As he placed his name upon the muster 
roll there was no proud look in his eve to be-

Dear mother, we’ve had a buttle, and I am glad tosny, 
Tho’ the odds were all against, ns, we gained at last 
tbe day: 
It was a desperate struggle—tie rebels fought ns well, 
•Bntour brnve boys fought better still, as all who live 
can tell. 
We charged the foe at morning—at the rising of the 
sun— 
And the work of death went hotly on until the day was 
done; i 
There was clashing steel, and bursting shells, and can¬ 
non thundering round, 
And, as the con diet deepened, full many a sadder 
sound. 
But I lived to see it ended—to see the t wilight fall 
Around my poor dead comrades, like a shadowy fane 
ral pall; 
I was glad, in looking upward, that Heaven was so 
serene, 
For earth below, in the star's pale glow, was a sad and 
piteous scene. 
This fighting’s serious business — more serious than it 
seemed, 
When ’mid my books last summer such foolish dreams 
I dreamed; 
Then war appeared a pastime — a picture rich and 
bright— 
Ah! the picture has a darker side; less pleasant to the 
sight 
Yet there’s one thing gained, dear, mother—I am a boy 
no more; 
1 feel almost the steadiness and wisdom of three score; 
And I love my country better since I’ve battled in her 
cause, 
And shed my biood so freely to defend her sacred laws. 
Yes, I’ve shed my blood— I’m wounded. Now do not 
grieve, I pray, 4' 
But, to tell the truth, dear mother, both my kgs are shot 
away! 
You call this something fearful, but think I your Char¬ 
ley’s life, 
Or what were worse, his honor, might have gone in this 
wild strife. 
Ah! that is safe, dear mother—and I think it soothes 
my pain, 
To hear our Colonel say 1 helped the victory to gain; 
And he often comes to see me, and still with smiling 
mien, 
He says, “ How fairs my hero -my veteran of eighteen /” 
My wounds are doing well, mother. The people here 
are kind; 
They send me flowers, and dainty food, and books to 
cheer my mind; 
But still I think of yon, mother, and long to see your 
face, 
And in my happy dreams, mother, I feel your soft em¬ 
brace. 
I hope you’ll come on soon, mother—and remember, 
when we meet, 
Tho’ I cannot ran to welcome you with light and nim¬ 
ble feet. 
Yet I’ve arms to clasp yon round, mother, and a heart 
to love yon still; 
So, we'll be content and thankful, and resigned to 
Heaven's will.

for a number ot years. J have used them in my own 
family, ami have bteu so pleased with their effects that 
1 was Induced to recommend them to many others, and

The patient soon fell into a quiet sleep from 
which he did not awake until the return of 
Captain Harris. 
“ I have brought something to make you well 
again,” said the officer, ah the same time placing 
In Billy’s hand a letter directed in the same 
style of penmunship as the mysterious note of 
sis months previous. 
The sick man looked wistfully upon the prec¬ 
ious little messenger, but finding his eyes were 
weak and dim he handed it back to his friend, 
asking that he would read it to him. The Cap¬ 
tain needed no second invitation, for, to speak 
the truth, he had entertained not a little curi¬ 
osity upon the subject of Billy 's correspond¬ 
ence, ever since the receipt of that mysterious 
billet, by himself. Eagerly the soldier drank lu 
every word, and sometimes the reader too, was 
not a little moved, for here was the secret of 
that change which all had observed in the char¬

Upon iny word he is the sorriest looking man I 
know of. It may after all cheer the poor fellow 
up and make somebody of him.” As he said 
the words he entered his tent, took a pen and 
traced upon the envelope, 
“WILLIAM MORRIS, 
Co. G., 5th Reg’t O. V-1, cure of Capt. Harris.” 
Then, with a business-like air, he walked to¬ 
wards the log upon which BtLi.Y’y sat. 
“Here’s a letter for you,” was met by a look 
of blank astonishment, which the officer pre¬ 
tended not to notice, hut left him to enjoy tbe 
perusal of the little sheet alone. 
“Well, now, I guess he got the wrong man this 
time. Who can be writln’ letters to me I’d like 
to know? There’s Joe Wilson's, where I 
worked three years ago—I liked them about as 
well as anybody I know on, but they wouldn’t 
be a writln’ to me, spe&h’ly such a purty lookin' 
letter as this ere. There it is, though, with my 
name wrote on it, company and all, care of 
Cap’n Harris. I’m goin’ to read it anyhow. 
Jerusalem, Billy, youre’n 1 ever thought 
you’d be.” So saying, he broke the envelope 
and drew forth, as he thought, the most beauti¬ 
ful letter ever written. And a beautiful letter 
it was, lively, friendly and interesting. There 
was a true womanly sympathy,displayed iu pure 
language, with here and there a thought, ele¬ 
gant and chaste, which made the reader wish 
that he was only good, llis eyes grew dim 
several times by reason or some enchanting 
cloud which rose from tho lines before Jilin, bo 
it was a long time before he finished reading his 
treasure. He folded it carefully, placed it in 
the envelope, and safely deposited it in his 
pocket. How many times it was re-read that 
night and for days thereafter can never be ac¬ 
curately known, but true it is that the letter 
became daily more soiled and worn than Billy’s 
pocket could account for. Billy’s eyes began 
to show a new light from their black depths. 
Something like a smile of gladness might some¬ 
times be seen playing over his face, as if he half 
believed that somebody cared for him. One 
rainy day, not long alter, was spent by him in 
writing a reply to the magic letter. He w r as on- 
accustomed to work of this kind, and could not 
manufacture high sounding sentences and fine, 
flattering speeches to order, but in his own rude 
Blessed be the man who invented letter¬ 
writing. Faust, Guttenberg and Sciickf- 
fer, never conferred a greater gift upon the 
world at large, Howard never blessed hu¬ 
manity 1 more generally, and civilized people in 
particular, than has this unkown. He deserves 
a marble pyramid raised to his memory, carved 
with the praises of all generations. The

camp-fire, the sailor upon the boundless main, 
the wanderer far from friends and home, may

and golden sarcophagal rhymes, and it will only

in doing something 
for tho brave ones who stood upon the Warfields 
of our country; what grand times they had 
picking potatoes and packing boxes to send to 
the hospilttls; that many of their young men 
had gone to do buttle for their country, while 
the old men, the women and children were 
keeping the hearth-fires warm at home, mean¬ 
while knitting ttnd stitching with loving bands 
some garment to send the poor soldiers to cover 
them from want and winter, all working a shield 
of prayer in their hearts as they toiled, to cover 
the bruve ones from danger and sin; how, when 
a brnve one fell on the field, or was taken out of 
the catnp, to return thence no more, their hearts 
were greatly comforted to know that it was a 
soldier in the service of the Great King, one 
who had gone to meet the Captain in the Camp 
of Eternal I’eacGj and how, too, the writer hud 
wept tears of joy on learning that Billy had at

on the Muster Boll of those Conquerors who are

of the Singing School—what times they sang; 
of the Concert to be given at the close for the
