THE SOLDIER’S LETTER. 
How sweet when night her misty veil 
Around the weary soldier throws, 
And twilight’s golden skies grow pale, 
And wooing winds invite repose, 
To sit beside the watchftr#’* blaze, 
Where friendly comrades nightly come, 
To sing the eotigs of other days, 
And talk of things we love at home— 
Of those we love who list and wait, 
Beneath the tame benignant moon, 
The postman's step behind the gate, 
With tidings from the absent one; 
And beaming smiles their thoughts reveal, 
And love is mirrored In their eyes, 
As eagerly they break the seal, 
Elate with joy and glad surprise. 
But dearer yet the shout that rings 
In exultation loud and dear, 
To hail the messenger who bring 6 
Letters from home and kindred dear; 
And 'oeath the pale moon v smiling light 
The soldier reads his treasure o’er, 
And through the hours of silent night, 
hi dreams he visits homo once more. 
Iii dreams he sits beside the hearth, 
Afar from camps and traitor’s wiles, 
And deems the dearest spot on earth 
Where loving wife and mother smiles; 
Aud many a face almost forgot, 
And many a word so fondly spoken, 
Come flitting round the soldier’s cot, 
Till the sweet dream, at morn, is broken. 
O ye who love the soldier well— 
Bid him he hopeful, brave mid gay; 
Better he knows than you can tell, 
The perils that attend his way. 
Some word of hope in battle's hour, 
While striving with a vengeful foe, 
Has nerved the soldier’s arm with power, 
To strike or ward the impending blow. 
The soldier brave is often prone 
To deem himself forgotten quite, 
A wanderer on the earth alone, 
When friends at home neglect to write. 
Then chew him oft with wools like these, 
And thus your deep affections prove; 
Let every keel that- plows.the seas 
Bear him some message full of love.

THE SOLDIER’S LETTER. 
BT T. 8 . ARTHUR, 
“When did you bear from Thomas?” 
A young lady bud stopped at the door of a 
small house, standing in the outskirts of a vil¬ 
lage iu Pennsylvania, and asked this question of 
a woman who sat working on a coarse garment 
“It’s more than two months since I’ve had a 
word from him. replied the woman, in a half- 
troubled. half-complaining tone. Then rising, 
she added, “Won't you come in, Miss Annie?” 
The young lady accepted the^invitation, and 
as she took the proffered chair, said: 
“ Two months is a long time not to have heard 
from your son. Mrs. Rogers. Where is he?” 
“ The last news 1 had came from Williams¬ 
burg just after the battle. He sent me three or 
four lines, to say that he Wasn’t hurt” 
“ And you've heard nothing since?” 
“Nothing. Miss Annie. He may be dead, or 
a prisoner, for ail I know. Oh dear! dear! It’s 
worrying the very life out ol me.” 
“ When did you w rite to him last? ” inquired 
the young lady. 
Miu Rogers moved uneasily, and a shame-flush 
covered her face, as she replied; 
“I haven’t taken a pen in my fingers these five 
years. They're all cramped with hard work, 
and I couldn't write lit to be seen.” 
“A single line from your hand, Mrs. Rogers, 
blotted and scrawled though it might have been, 
would have come to Thomas, in his far away 
camp, as a most welcome visitor from home. 
Think of Ids comrades getting letters by every 
mail, while there came not a word or it token for 
him.” 
“ Oh! but Miss Annie, I’ve sent him two pairs 
of stockings knit with my own hands; and lie’s 
never so much as let me know that he received 
them.” 
“A letter should have gone with them,” said 
the young lady. “ The stockings, if they ever 
reach him. were but dumb signs; a loving sen¬ 
tence, even if he had been obliged to spell it out 
slowly from among ill-formed words, would have 
spoken to his heart, and warmed it with a living 
pleasure. Write to your son, Mrs. Rogers. 
Nothing that you can send him will do Thomas 
half so much good as a letter from his mother. 
A single line w ill be precious. Don’t let him 
any longer have tile feeling, among his com¬ 
rades. that he alone has no one to care for him, 
or send him sweet remembrances." 
“ I don’t believe I can write. Miss Annie.” said 
Mrs. Rogers. 
“ Try. Have you pen and ink? ” 
“ No, Miss. As I told youjust now, I haven't had 
a pen iu my lingers these five years; and I don’t 
believe I could compose a letter, oven if I had 
the skill to write it out.” 
“ You must try, Mrs. Rogers. It will never do 
in the world for Thomas to go any longer without 
a letter from home. I have a spare inkstand, and 
will step around for it.” 
And the young lady arose, saying, as she went 
out: 
“I’ll be back again in a little while, with pen, 
ink and paper. Between us Thomas must have 
a letter.” 
On Annie’s return with writing materials, Mrs. 
Rogers, still reluctant to undertake the unaccus¬ 
tomed task of penning a letter, sat down, half 
per force, and made sundry awkward attempts to 
form words and sentences, by way of practice, 
before essaying the epistle which her ardent 
young visitor ha# made up her mind should 
be produced and mailed te the absent soldier 
that day. 
“Very well done! Of course, you can write! ” 
said Annie, encouragingly, as she watched the 
efforts of Mrs. Rogers. “Now take a sheet of 
paper, and just think you are talking to him. 
Write down whatever you would like to say, and 
say just as much about, home, and what is going 
on here, that you think would interest him, as 
yon can call to mind. Take your time to it, 
and don’t fee] hurried. I’ll come around again in 
the course of an hour, and see what you’ve done. 
Then we’ll both go over it, and 1’U make all the 
corrections needed, so that you can copy it out 
fairly. My word for it. there'll lie a nice letter 
for Thomas, that w ill do his heart good.” 
Iu an hour Annie came back, as she had 
promised. Mrs, Rogers had tilled two pages of 
paper with rather badly spelled sentences; but 
the matter was all right, as far as it went. Annie 
made all needed corrections, and then waited 
until Mrs. Rogers had copied the letter, which 
she folded and directed for her. 
“ Shall I mail it for you? ” 
“ If you please,” said Mrs. Rogers. 
And the young lady went away, taking the 
letter. Since learning that Thomas Rogers, whom 
she very well remembered, had not once received 
a letter from his mother, although he had been 
absent lor over a year, she had felt pity and con¬ 
cern for the young man, whom she remembered 
as a little wild in his habits before he went, into 
the army, This had made her more urgent that 
the mother should do her duty. The letter was 
as well as could have been expected under the 
circumstances. Still, as Annie’s thoughts went 
off to the distant camp, and dwelt on the young 
man’s particular case, it did not seem to her all 
that he needed. 
“I will write to him!” she said, as the case 
(continuing to dwell In her mind) presented 
itself in stronger and stronger light. “He was 
once, lor a short time, my scholar in Sunday 
school, and that will be my warrant” 
So she wrote him a brief, but pointed and 
earnest letter, touching his duties as a soldier 
and as a man. Not in a superior, lecturing 
tone; but in a kind, suggestive way, and in lan¬ 
guage calculated to touch his feelings and arouse 
his better nature. 
Ail officer sat in his tent near Gaines’ Mills, 
Virginia, three days previous to the assault on 
the right wing of our army before Richmond. 
“In the guard-house again!” he said, speak¬ 
ing to the orderly, who had just submitted his 
report There was regret, as well as discour¬ 
agement in ids voice. “ What are we to do with 
the man?” 
“ You will have to order severer punishment 
Simple confinement in the guard-house is of 
no use.” 
“He has in him all the elements of a good 
soldier,” remarked the officer. “No one goes 
through the manual better. He is perfectly 
drilled; is quick, steady aud brave. At Wil¬ 
liamsburg he fought like a lion. I cannot for¬ 
get that to his prompt courage I owe my life. 
No—no—not severer punishment We must 
bear with him a little longer. What is his 
offense now?” 
“He was away at roll-call, and his report of 
himself is unsatisfactory. The man is restless 
and brooding, aud sometimes so ill-natured as to 
make trouble with his comrades.” 
The officer sat in thought, lor some time. He 
was about speaking, when a sergeant came in 
with letters, a mail having been received. In 
running his eyes over them, the officer noticed 
two directed to Thomas Rogers, the soldier re¬ 
ported as in the guard-house. He held them for 
a moment in his hand, and then laid them aside 
with his own letters. 
“ Let me see you in half au hour,” he said to 
the orderly. “Wc must do something to reform 
this man. There is good in him, if we can only 
discover the way to make it active.” 
The orderly retired, and the officer became 
occupied with his letters. After getting through 
with them, weed was passed to Inm- Rogers 
brought before him. He came under guard, but 
the guard was dismissed, and the man was alone 
with the officer, who regarded him more in pity 
than in anger. The soldier was a youug man, 
not over twenty years of ago; of slender form, 
but compactly built and muscular. Even under 
disgrace, there was a manly, self-poise about him 
that did not escape the officer’s notice. 
“Under arrest again! What have you to say 
for yourself?” The officer tried to bo stern, and 
to speak with severity. 
The soldier did not answer; but a look, half- 
dogged. half-defiant, was visible in his face. 
“ I shall have to order severer punishment.” 
There was no reply; only a slight change in 
attitude and expression of countenance, that in¬ 
dicated a bracing of mind and nerve for more 
endurance. 
“When did you hear from home?” asked the 
officer, who did not remember to have seen a 
letter addressed to Rogers until the receipt of 
that day’s mail. 
“Not for a long time," was answered, and with 
apparent surprise at so unexpected a question. 
“ Here are two letters to your address.” And 
the officer, who had the letters in his hand, held 
them toward the soldier, who started, with 
a strange look of surprise and bewilderment, 
and received them with a hand that trembled 
visibly. 
“Sit down and road them,” said the officer, 
pointing to a camp-stool. The man sat down, 
showing considerable excitement, and after look¬ 
ing curiously at the delicately written super¬ 
scriptions, opened one of the letters and glanced 
it through hurriedly. The officer's gaze was on 
him. and he read in his countenance the rapid 
play of various emotions. Then he opened the 
second letter, which was read twice. As he 
finished it. he drew his hand hastily across his 
eyes. 
“ From home? ” queried the officer. 
The young soldier stood up, giving the usual 
sign of respect, as he answered in the affirm¬ 
ative. The officer noticed that his face was 
graver and paler; and that all the late look of 
dogged defiance had faded out, 
“And now, Rogers, what have you to say for 
yourself? Will you drive us to a severer punish¬ 
ment? You know, as well as I do, that discipline 
must be enforced.” There was remonstrance, 
not anger, in the officer’s voice. 
“Only this,” answered the soldier, humbly, 
yet in a firm voice. “I have done wrong, and 
am sorry. Forgive me, and if 1 break a rule of 
the service again, shoot me.” 
“Spoken like a man and a soldier! I will 
trust you, Rogers,” Faid the officer; and, dismiss¬ 
ing the guard, lie sent him to duty. 
Two days afterward came that overwhelming 
assault upon our right wing, and on the next day 
the terrible conflict at Gaines’ Mills. Among 
the coolest and bravest in all the fierce battles 
that followed, and among the most enduring in 
the long nights of retreat, was young Rogers. 
He was with that body of infantry which lay at 
the bottom of Malvern Hill, under onr death- 
dealing batteries, the fire of which staggered and 
then drove hack the rebel masses, whose despe¬ 
rate courage In that maddest of all assaults, was 
worthy of a better cause. Twice during this 
series of battles, as once at Williamsburg, had 
Rogers, risking his own life, saved that of his 
Captain; and in several of the conflicts he had 
shown such coolness and courage, that positions 
were saved, which, but for the infusion of his 
spirit into his comrades would have been lost. 
One day, about three weeks after the letters 
were written to Thomas Rogers, the young lady 
whom we called Annie, received a reply from 
the soldier, dated, “In Camp, near Harrison’s 
Landing.” It ran thus: 
“A good angel must have put it into your 
heart to send me that letter; for it came just in 
time to save me. I was in the guard-house for 
neglect of duty and disobedience of orders. I 
was reckless and desperate. AU my comrades 
were getting word from home—letters came to 
them by every mail—lmt no one wrote to me, or 
seemed to care for me. So I lost respect for my¬ 
self, grew sour, unhappy, and indifferent to duty. 
Butyotir kind words—your talk about the past 
time when'you were my teacher—your strong 
appeal to my better nature—your calm, true, 
sweet sentences, dear lady! stirred my heart 
with new feelings, and filled my eyes with tears. 
I was before my Captain, in disgrace, when your 
letter was placed in my hands. He waited for 
me to read it: saw that 1 was touched, and, like 
a true man, that he is,forgave my offense. Then 
and there, I resolved to die sooner Iban swerve 
a hair’s-breadth from duly. I have bccu in fear¬ 
ful battles since, but God has kept me from 
harm. To-day, for bravery and faithful service 
in these battles, I have been made a Second 
Lieutenant. Thanks, thanks to yon, kind, good 
friend! You have saved one who came nigh 
being lost!” 
Fair reader, is there not, in some far-away 
camp, a soldier tvjv> would he made better or 
happier through a letter from your hand? 
Think! If there is, write to him. Brothers, 
sisters, fathers, mothers, write often to the sol¬ 
diers who have gone out from your homes. 
They are in the midst of temptations, trials, 
suffering and privations, and your words of love, 
your tenderly manifested interest, your exhorta¬ 
tions to courage and duty, cannot fail to do them 
good.— I'ttcrson's Magazine. 
Mind what You say before Children.— 
A gentleman was iu the habit of calling at a 
neighbor’s house, and the lady Had always ex¬ 
pressed much pleasure in seeing him. One day, 
just after she had remarked to him her happiness 
from his visit, the little hoy entered the room. 
The gentleman took him on his knee, and 
asked: 
“ Are yon glad to see me, George?” 
“No sir,” replied the boy. 
“Why not, my little man?” 
“ Because mother don’t want you to come,” said 
George. 
Here the mother looked daggers at her little 
sou, and her face became crimson, but he saw 
nothing. 
•• Indeed, how do you know that?” 
“Because she said yesterday she wished that 
old bore would not call again!” 
The gentleman's hat was soon in requisition, 
and he left with the impression that “truth is 
mighty and will prevail.” 
Artemi s Nonplussed.— In his new lecture 
Artemus Ward makes sprue fun of Dr. Winship, 
the Now England “strong man.” who advertises 
that he will lift twelve able-bodied men at one 
time, at the close of his lecture. “Artemus” 
travesties the muscular New Englander, by face¬ 
tiously inviting twelve agreeable young ladies 
to the platform, stating that he will lift them one 
at a time or “perish in the attempt.” That's 
pretty good; hut out in Indiana, at a town rejoic¬ 
ing in the name of Nolan, the girls rather more 
than got even with him, for when he extended 
the aforesaid invitation, twelve fair damsels sol¬ 
emnly arose and advanced to the platform, and 
demurely arranged themselves to he “ lifted.” 
The audience gave a regular Iioosier scream, but 
the showman failed to see anything particularly 
funnv. He didn’t lift ’em.
