years old. and he in tide me a birthday present the 
day before lie sailed. I think more of that present 
than any one he ever gave me. sir; for it was the. 
last—he never came buck again.” 
41 He never came back? And how was that?’ 
“He died aboard ship, of a fever, sir.” replied 
little Bags, one big tear rolling slowly down each 
cheek. . 
“And so you lost your kind fnend! And what 
dkl you do after that?” 
“Father Jack'd done all he could to make the 
way easy for me, sir; he’d pYtt me to a free school 
when 1 was seven, and paid my board a whole year 
in advance before be left. So 1 had a lair start when 
1 turned to help myself, as I did right off.” 
“But what were you able to do? 
“No great things, sir, but, a good many little 
things, that, helped along. I swept out gentlemen's 
stores and offices, and went errands tor them, arid 
things like that. Nobody liked much to begin with 
me because 1 was so small, but alter a while they 
found I got, along well enough.” 
“AndWhat became of your school during this 
time?” 
“ I went to school all the same, sir. I got through 
with a good many jobs before nine in the morning, 
and after school let out I had plenty of time for a 
little more work, besides learning my lessons. 1 
wouldn't give up the school, sir, because Father 
Jack thought so much of having me taught, lie 
said I must learn all I could, that, when my father 
came along he might not find me a poor Ignorant 
boy. For he always knew my lather must come by 
me one day or other: he said it was a thing sure to 
happen.” . 
•‘And do you, loo, expect this?’ 
••Ob yes, sir.' replied Bags, very confidently. 
“ Father .Tack said so, and he knew. He often said 
to me, - Be honest and do your duty, and yon have 
nothing to (ear; and when your lather comes along 
vou can say to him without a lie, ‘ Father, 1 may be 
‘poor anil tough, but I've always been an honest 
l .oy and stood by the, ship , so you needn’t bn ashamed 
of me.'' See, sir, 1 could never forget those words 
after this.” And dropping cap and slicks. Bags 
bared his little arm, and exhibited to the Colonel 
IN THE COLONEL’S TENT. 
It was true that Colonel II- had noticed the 
little drummer- Indeed the remarkable coolness 
and pelf possession of the boy, as displayed during 
the recent engagement, together with his habitual 
reserve and taciturnity, so singular in one of his 
years; his orderly conduct, and hi- fund devotion 
io his drum—the only companion (with the excep¬ 
tion of a few well-worn books over which be was 
sometimes seen to pore) in which he took delight— 
had attracted no little attention among tin* otficers 
of the regiment, as well as the men. The interest 
aw akened in Colonel II-aroused the desire to 
know something more of him, and it was with this 
object that Ibe evening following the toregone dia¬ 
logue he directed the little drummer should be sent 
to his tent 
Bags came, his drum on his breast, and the sticks 
in his hand; for lie bad been busy with them when 
summoned to his Colonel's presence, and had not 
staid to disencumber himself of these implements of 
his office. As he entered the tent the Colonel, who 
was sitting by the table where he had been writing, 
shaded his eyes from the light for a better view of 
the little fellow, who paused just within theentrance 
and made his best military salute. His cap with¬ 
drawn, displayed to view a profusion of short, thick 
curls, whose dark hue was in good keeping with the 
sun-burned liut of his face; but the expression of 
gravity and thoughtfulness — evidently habitual — 
on every feature was strangely out of Keeping with 
the rounded cheeks and dimpled chin. It was a 
look altogether at variance with his years — it was 
that of the boy prematurely taught the self-reliance 
ol the man. 
Colonel H- could not have well defined his 
own feelings at that moment. Was it but natural 
pity lor the child who lived so solitary a life in that 
crowded camp, or some mysterious sympathy that 
so strangely aroused him, and awakened in his owu 
lonely breast the wish to draw toward itself the ap¬ 
parently friendless boy? Whatever i« was it kept 
him for a while silently regarding the curious figure 
of the little drummer. * “ Como forward, my lad.” he 
then said, “ 1 wish to have some conversation with 
you.” Bags advanced a step or two, and this 
brought him directly before the Colonel, where he 
stood, his eyes fixed giavely upon those of the of¬ 
ficer, his countenance betraying neither surprise imr 
embarrassment under the novel position in which 
he (bund himself. 
•• 1 have sent tor you to say how much I am pleased 
with your conduct of yesterday, which was more 
commendable from the fact that you are unusually 
young and small for your position,” continued the 
Colonel. 
•‘Thank you, Colonel; I only did my duty, Sir. 
I'm big enough for that, though I am small.” 
“ You might have the wish without the ability, my 
boy. Were you not alarmed when the engagement 
■<l 
“ J might- have been. Sir, if I'd let ruyself think 
about it; but I kept my mind steady to my drum. 
I’d gone in to play fur the men — it was that I vol¬ 
unteered for— so 1 said to myself ‘Don’t trouble 
yourself about what don't concern you, Bags, but do 
your duty, and stand by the skip.' '■ 
“‘Stand by the ship?’ why that's sailor’s talk,” 
said the Colonel, too considerate tor Bags's feelings 
to let his countenance betray his imvard amusement 
at this quaint reply*. 
“It's a very good saying, Sir,” rejoined little 
“That it is, and I’m pleased to find you can make 
so proper an application of it Let the same rule 
guide you in your duties through life, and you will 
gain the love and respect ot all good men.' 
“ Yes. Sir; that’s wlmt. f ather Jack told me when 
he taught uie to say. ‘ Stand by the ship.’ ” 
“ Father Jack? Your lather was a sailor, then?” 
“ No, Sir: never had a father. Father Jack was 
the sailor who brought me up.” 
“Never had a lather; poor boy!” said the Colonel 
to himself; then to Bags. “Ah! Father Jack was 
the sailer who brought you up —1 understand. But 
come, tell me your story: 1 feel inclined to befriend 
you, my boy. ,r 
“ Very much obliged to you. Sir; but I have no 
story to tell.” 
** 1 mean that you should tell me all you know of 
yourself; where you were horn —where, how, aud 
'with whom you have lived, and so on.” 
“ Yes, Sir; 1 can do that. 1 was horn at sea.” 
“ Born at sea, were you ? W ell that is a very good 
commencement for your story. Your life bo begun 
has doubtless had a good many changes and hard¬ 
ships, even at your early years!” 
■‘No, Sir, I've had no hardships,” replied Bags, 
simply. “ I’ve always had a pretty' good time ot it. 
It was a great thing lor me to have a good man like 
Father Jack to take care of me when 1 was a baby, 
and ou shipboard too. lor my mother died when I 
was only a week old.” 
“ That was sad. indeed! But how did Father Jack 
manage w ith you? I should think lie could scarcely 
prove so good a nurse as a babe of such tender age 
must require.” 
“ Oh! he did very well with me, Sir; he fed me on 
goat’s milk, and kept me in a bag, swung from the 
deck joist over his hummock. Being in the bag 
kept me very easy, for 1 swung with the ship, and as 
l was onto) harm’s way he could leave me alone 
for hours. It was because of the bag that he called 
me Bays, Sir.” 
“But you certainly have another name than 
Bags?” 
“ No, Sir; Father Jack said it would do very well 
alone till 1 found my other father, w ho. of course, 
would have a name ready for me.” 
“ Then you ex pect. to find yonr real father, do you? 
But you must explain to me how this is; you know 
you are to tell me all you know of yourself.’’ 
“ Yes, sir. i ll have to tell you the first as 1 heard 
it from Father Jack. My mother sailed from France 
in a merchant ship for Boston, where my father was 
living. But when the ship was well out to sea a 
great storm rose and drove her on rocks, where she 
split and filled, and all hands had to take to the 
boats. They bad a terrible Time ot it, for the storm 
kept up a long while, and beat them about so dread¬ 
fully that they quite gave themselves up for lost. 
Bill at last they were taken up by tv rhip bound with 
a cargo lor Liverpool. The captain and sailors 
were very kind to them, uud gave them clothes, aud 
some money, too; for they had lost every thing in 
the wreck but the clothes they had on. They got 
safe to Liverpool; but my mother wouldn't stay 
there any time, though she was quite sick with all 
she'd gone through, because she wanted bo badly to 
get to this country; so sue soon after took passage 
in another merchant ship just going to sail lor Nesv 
York. She was the only woman oii board, so there 
was only the doctor and the sailors to take care ot 
her when she got worse, as she did soon after the 
ship sailed. This was the ship Father Jack was

“Confound your drum! do you want to deafen ns

“ Do let the boy alone, Thorn by; how can you go 
on teasing him in this way?” 
“Teasing him. indeed! why, confound the fellow! 
he minds me no more than if I wore an empty pow¬ 
der flask. I doubt if it's in the power of mortal to 
tease that boy!” 
“So much the better; he’s right not to mind you. 
and is more of a man than you are, little as he is. 
Come, attend to your own business, and let the boy 
alone.” 
“No, I won’t; he’s a funny chap, and I intend to

What’s-yotir-name! J suppose you can talk a bit, it

“Don’t call me What’s-your-name; my name's 
Bags.” Rub a dub a, dub a dub!

“ It's a very good name.” Rat a tat a, tat a tat! 
“ Very good, is it? Ob, to be sure, bags are well

“No; Father Jack gave it to me.” Rub a dub 
a, dub a dub! 
“ Ob! ’twns Faiher Jack gave it to you! And who 
now may ‘Father Jack’ be?” 
To this question the little drummer vouchsafed 
no reply, but continued to ply his sticks vigorously 
as before. No one could hear Bags’s performance 
without being satisfied that he had “ an ear tor 
music” and a soul for rhythm. 
“See here, little Bags,” presently resumed his tor¬ 
mentor. “you know we’re going to light to-morrow; 
now don’t you expect to be deucedly scared when 
you seo the balls and shells flying around you?” 
Rata tat! r-r-r-r-rat a tat! tat! tat! tat! went the

moving with even more than Ordinary energy. 
“You won’t relish the first snuff ol powder, I 
promise you; you'll wish yourself and your drum 
a good thousand miles oil' when that time comes." 
“ 1 only wish 1 could light!” suddenly exclaimed 
the hoy, pausing in his operations and making a 
grand aerial flourish with his stick. “ But 1 can't; 
I’m too little to shoulder a musket liut never 
mind; J can play for the men to light, and that’s the 
next thing to it!” And rub a dub a, dub a club!

“ Taught myself.” Rub a dub a dub! etc., etc.

“ Practiced on an empty barrel! Well done lor 
you, 1 say again! IVhy you play as though you'd 
been born with drum sticks in your little lists, as 
some babies are said to come into the world with 
silver spoons in their mouths. It’s to be hoped 
you'll keep your hands steady to-morrow*, Bags; the 
fight’s the thing that'll show what sort of stuff you’re 
made of. It’s one thing drumming in camp, and an¬ 
other drumming on the battle-field, as it’s likely 
you’ll learn to your cost before a second sun goes 
down behind yonder old Blue Ridge.” 
a wise and good man, Father Jack was careful to 
murk them indelibly on your heart as on your arm.” 
“ He did, Rir,” responded little Bags. 
“But you have yet to explain to me how* you 
came to he drummer to the Twenty-th.” 
“ I can soon tell you that, sir. When 1 was twelve 
I. left school, and went on to Chicago with a gentle¬ 
man in the bookbinding business there, and ap¬ 
prenticed myself to him. I'd been with bun nearly 
two years when the war broke out. A good many 
of our hands volunteered, and I wished very union 
that I were old enough to volunteer, too. I was 
sure ifl'd been a little bigger. and Father Jack was 
there, he’d say, ■ Go and' tight lor your country, 
Bags—for the old Stars and Stripes—that's the ship 
you've to stand by now!’ One day — it was after 
the three months' men had come home I was pass¬ 
ing by a recruiting office. Some men were just 
going in, so I w ent in too. i heard them say they 
wanted a drummer for a regiment just about to 
legye for Virginia; so I stepped up aud told them 
I'd like to volunteer for the place. Some of them 
laughed, because I was so little; but u big man — 
the, very Biggest of them all. — didn’t laugh at all, but 
said to me, - Show us what you can do. my lad.’ So 
they brought me a drum, and 1 treat it for them. 
Then the big man mid be thought I'd do well 
enough; so 1 agreed l ight off to be drummer to the 
Twenty-th.” 
The Colonel was now silent for a while. lie was 
turning over in bis mind different projects for be¬ 
friending little Bags. “ Without yonr father's name, 
or some more definite information than you have, 
how do you think it possible he will ever find you?” 
lie then asked. 
“ J don’t know, sir; but I’m sure he'll do it some¬ 
how. Father Jack always said we’d come together 
one day or other, in God's own time.” It was plain 
to be seen that, on this point little Bags's faith was 
too strong in he shaken by argument. Said the 
Colonel to himself, “The boy will live and die in 
the hope: but it is a happy delusion, and one that 
will do him no harm.” “My lather’ll be sure to 
know I'm the right boy when he does find rue,” 
presently continued little Bags, “(or f’ve something 
to show him (hat was my mother's. She, sir, here it 
is:” and lie drew tortli a little canvas bag sewed 
closely all round, and suspended from his neck by a 
string. “ In this is a pretty bracelet that my mother 
always wore on her arm, and that Father Jack took 
oil', after she died, to keep for me. He showed jt to 
me once—it was the day before he sailed fur the last 
time- -but lie said it he shouldn't come buck il must 
never lie opened again till f found my father, and 
that J must always wear it in this way about my 
neck, that il might be safe.” 
“Alv! a bracelet, did you say!” suddenly exclaimed 
the Colonel, “ Let me have it—I must see it at once!” 
But Little Bags drew a step back. “ I’m very sorry, 
sir,” he said, “bnt indeed Father Jack told me—” 
“Depend on it. were he here he would bid you com¬ 
ply with my wish,' hastily interrupted the Colonel, 
his hand trembling perceptibly as he reached it forth 
toward the little wallet.. With both his clasped 
round it. Bags stood for a moment or so, gazing in¬ 
quiringly into the Colonel's lace, then, slipping the 
string over his head, he silently yielded up his 
treasure. 
To rip open the canvas with his knife, and draw 
forth the bracelet, took the Colonel but a moment 
The ornament was of peculiar style and workman¬ 
ship. and consisted ot short braids of woven hair 
connected by links of gold, and fastened with a large 
gold locket. The countenance of Colonel H- 
betrayed increasing emotion as he turned the brace¬ 
let round upon his linger, and attentively examined 
it. Then, making a powerful effort to'speak with 
composure, he said: “/ think I know this bracelet. 
If it lie as 1 hope —as I believe — within this locket 
we shall find two names, and the date August 10, 
] sis. The names Eugenie aud Cecil —the surnames 
of both the same, for'the bracelet was a parting gift 
from husband to wife." 
The locket opened with a spring—a secret, that 
Father Jack bad very naturally tailed to discover— 
and at a touch of the Colonel’s finger the lid flew 
hack. Ofie moment sufficed for an eager look with¬ 
in; the next, with tears gushing from his eyes as he 
exclaimed, -My sou! my son!' he clasped the little 
drummer to his breast!

[From the Acw Perk Daily World. Feb. 15, 1962.) 
Moork’S Rural Nkw Ymtamc comes to ns freighted with 
its usual amount Of informat ion, valuable, not to farmers, alone, 
but to aU who tidu: an interest iu the improvement, o! the 
times. For year*- it has maintained an enviable position as a 
family newspaper, anti iin ttie gratified to lento that its pros- 
pecte were never hotter than they are at the present time. We 
commend it to the. notice of those of our readers Who take an 
interest iu agricultural and horticultural matters, and. we max 
add, to advertisers w ho desire to reach the farming communi¬ 
ties throughout the country. 
[From the AY'ie Pork Daily Times-] 
Moouk's Rural Nkw-Yorrer, published at Rochester, has a 
very largo die-illation, especially among the agricultural popu¬ 
lation of the Northern, Western, and Middle Males, aud offers_a 
very excellent medium for advertising to business men ol this 
citv who desire to reach those sections- It is an able and 
well-managed paper, and deserves the succesa it has achieved. 
[ Fi-cm the i\Yie Pork Dally Tribune.] 
Wk don't care what a publisher charges, so that he gives us 
the worth of one money. Mr. Moors chargee S3 cents a line, 
and his circulation makes it cheap advertising. \Y e don t know 
the circulation of the Rural Nkw-Yorkkk, but we know that 
In the first year of his marriage—between tour- 
teen and fifteen years back—Colonel H-, then a 
merchant of Boston, had, with his wile, accompanied 
her mother to the south ot France, of which country 
the latter was a native. The health of Mrs. Gray¬ 
son, for the benefit ot which this change ol climate 
was made, did not, however, improve; on the con¬ 
trary, when Mr. H-was some months later unex¬ 
pectedly recalled to Boston by the sudden death of 
Iiis business-partner there, lie was obliged lo go 
alone, leaving bis wife in attendance upon what 
was, to all appearance, her mother's death-bed. it 
was but a few months later that a letter from Mrs. 
II-informed him that her mother was no more, 
and that, according to arrangement, she was hasten¬ 
ing to join trim, ha ving taken passage in the L-, 
which was to sail in a week. The L-arrived, 
but Mrs. H-was not on board. The passenger 
who occupied the stateroom she had engaged, 
brought a letter to the expectant husband, explain¬ 
ing bow an accident, though not one of a very 
serious nature, bad detained her in Havre; liut she 
expected to be (it for the voyage in a week's tirne 
at furthest, and he might louk for her in the next 
steamer. This was the last positive information 
My. il- ever received of his wife. Vainly he 
made inquiries of arriving vessels, and as vainly 
wrote letter after letter by those that left for Havre.
