The necessity for going farther south being thus obviated we retraced our Eighth expedition to the Dan River and return. steps to Petersburg, from which place I proceeded by steamer to Washington, leading the cavalry to be marched thither by easy stages. The day after my arrival in Washington an important order was sent me, accompanied by the following letter of instructions, transferring me to a new field of operations: headquarters armies

recall the days when Artemus Ward gave lectures may remember Low he glided from behind the curtain noiselessly, dressed in solemn black, looking like a juvenile undertaker, and proceeded without a smile to crack the gravest jokes over the head of his young pianist. This tuneful youth, he explained, was paid five dollars a week and his washing, and he was thoroughly domestic in his style of playing, having even composed those touching melodies of home life, Is it raining, mother dear, in South Boston? and Mother, you are one of my parents! Now, if there ever was anything that might be called a self-evident proposition, it is this last, and yet it is certain that from Greek days to the present time the din of discussion has raged around it, and it has been habitually denied by large sections of the human race. Indeed, it is very probable that practices now prevailing among the most enlightened nations-as, for instance, the transmission of the father's, not the mother's, family namea

Chapter 6: South Boston 1844-1851; aet. 25-32 The rough sketch A great grieved heart, an iron will, As fearless blood as ever ran; A form elate with nervous strength And fibrous vigor,--all a man. A gallant rein, a restless spur, The hand to wield a biting scourge; Small patience for the tasks of Time, Unmeasured power to speed and urge. He rides the errands of the hour, But sends no herald on his ways; The world would thank the service done, He cannot stay for gold or praise. Not laonths of labor, carried within its walls the divine conquest of life and of thought. J. W. H., Memoir of Dr. Samuel G. Howe. In September, 1844, the travellers returned to America and took up their residence at the Perkins Institution, in South Boston, in the apartment known as the Doctor's wing. At first, Laura Bridgman made one of the family, the Doctor considering her almost as an adopted child. His marriage had been something of a shock to her. Does Doctor love me like Julia? sh

dest daughter, and the marriage of Maud, the house-mate and comrade. During the winter of 1885-86 she made her headquarters in New York. Lecture engagements, conferences, and sermons took her hither and thither, and much of the time that should have been precious was passed in trains and boats. In the last days of February, Julia was stricken with rheumatic fever, which soon developed into typhoid. The weather was direful: bitter cold and furious wind. Our mother went at once to South Boston, where arriving, found my dear child seriously but not dangerously ill. Her joy at my coming was very pathetic. On the 28th she writes:-- I cannot be sure whether it was on this day that she said to me: Mamma, don't you remember the dream you had when Flossy and I were little children, and you were in Europe? You dreamed that you saw us in a boat and that the tide was carrying us away from you. Now the dream has come true, and the tide is bearing me away from you. This saying wa

origin. A certain rich man, seeing a poor girl injured in a street accident, offered to pay her doctor's bill. This being presented in due time, he disclaimed all responsibility in the affair; and when reminded of his offer, exclaimed, Oh, that was a bust of feeling! On January 31, she was in distress of mind all day lest Maud should absolutely refuse to let me give my lecture at Phillips Church this evening. Later she writes: Maud was very kind and did nothing to hinder my going to South Boston. She went and enjoyed the evening, but was not so well after it. February 10. A Sunday at home; unable to venture out. Wesselhoeft, Jr., called, left medicine, and forbade my going out before the cough has ceased. Have read in Cheyne's Jewish religious life after the Exile, finding the places of reference in the Bible. Afterwards read in L'aiglon, which is very interesting but not praiseworthy, as it endeavors to recall the false glory of Napoleon. February 18. Have been out, fir

y line. This charge was made without orders, but Captain Bouldin saw the chance to put in some good work at this juncture, and he effectively did so. This put an end to the riding over business by these cavalrymen. How many we killed I don't know, but quite a number, I should say. The killed and wounded on their side we had to leave for their disposal, as we had to move on when the infantry came up. Several of the Charlotte cavalry were wounded, among them Norman Spraggins, now of South Boston, Va. There were two men buried in a fence-corner by the road, and their bodies remained there until after the close of the war, when they were disinterred and taken away. Hanged for killing Marauder. The invaders camped that night near Brownsburg, twelve miles from Lexington, where one of the most indefensible acts of the war was committed—the hanging of David Creigh, of Greenbrier, an excellent and honorable man, and one of the most prominent and devoted members of the Presbyterian c
