der without looking back) that's his wife there with the baby! But I shouldn't bring these things any quicker if he were alive now and in the army; I don't know that I should think so much as I do now about the boys away off there. It was in turn for his wagon to unload, so with his rough freight of produce, and his rich freight of human hearts with their deep and treasured griefs, he drove on-one wagon of a hundred in the train. A romantic incident of the war. Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, was called upon at the Continental Hotel at Philadelphia, by a young lady. When she was introduced into the parlor she expressed her great joy at seeing the governor, at the same time imprinting a kiss upon his forehead. Madam, said he, to what am I indebted for this unexpected salutation? Sir, do you not know me? Take a chair, said the governor, at the same time extending one of the handsomest in the parlor. Shortly after the battle of Antietam you were upon that bloody fi

The farmer's contribution to the Chicago sanitary fair. The Sanitary Fair at Chicago, in October and November, 1863, was the first of the series of great outpourings of the sympathy of the nation for its brave defenders, which were held successively at Boston, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, New York, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, and which yielded such abundant resources for the Sanitary Commissions, in the prosecution of their work of mercy. Rev. Frederick N. Knapp, one of the secretaries of the U. S. Sanitary Commission, was present at Chicago, when, on the first day of the fair, the long procession of teams, extending many miles, came in from the country laden with provisions and other articles for the fair, and thus describes an incident which came under his notice: Among these wagons which had drawn up near the rooms of the Sanitary Commission to unload their stores, was one peculiar for its exceeding look of poverty. It was worn and mended, and was originally made me

e girls could only go around to five or six of the neighbors within a mile or so, but we did the best we could; we worked pretty much all the night, and loaded, so as to be ready to get out to the main road and star, with the rest of them this morning; but I can't help it if it is little, it's something for those soldiers. Have you a son in the army? No, he answered, slowly, after turning around and looking at his wife. No, I haven't now, but we had one there once; he's buried down by Stone River; he was shot there-and that isn't just so either-we called him our boy, but he was only our adopted son; we took him when he was little, so he was just the same as our own boy, and (pointing over his shoulder without looking back) that's his wife there with the baby! But I shouldn't bring these things any quicker if he were alive now and in the army; I don't know that I should think so much as I do now about the boys away off there.

ou by a soldier whom you loved? I loved him as I love my life; but he never returned that love. He had more love for his country than for me; I honor him for it. The soldier who placed that little ring upon your finger stands before you. So saying, the strange lady rose from her chair, and stood before the governor. The scene that now ensued we leave to the imagination of the reader. A happy hour passed. The girl who had thus introduced herself was Catherine E. Davidson, of Sheffield, Ohio. She was engaged to be married, but her future husband responded to the call of the President, and she followed him by joining another regiment. He was killed in the same battle where she fell wounded. She is alone in the world, her father and mother having departed this life years ago. She was the soldier of the Twenty-eighth Ohio who had placed the ring upon the finger of Governor Curtin, for the kind attention given her upon the bloody field of Antietam. Unacceptable gratitude.

eby, under God, I saved my life. Oh! good luck to your honor, I never will forget it to you. A correspondent with the Army of the Cumberland, narrates the following incident: A certain wealthy old planter, who used to govern a precinct in Alabama, in a recent skirmish was taken prisoner, and at a late hour brought into camp, where a guard was placed over him. The aristocratic rebel supposing every thing was all right — that he was secure enough any way as a prisoner of war — as a committ! Yes, colonel. You know this gentleman, do you? Ob course; he's Massa B., and has a big plantation in Alabam . Well, Sam, just take care of him to-night, and the officer walked away. As the sentinel again paced his beat, the gentleman from Alabama appealed to him in an argument. Listen, Sambo! You hush dar; I's done gone talkina to you now. Hush, rebel! was the negro's emphatic command, bringing down his musket to a charge bayonet position, by way of enforcing silen

rted this life years ago. She was the soldier of the Twenty-eighth Ohio who had placed the ring upon the finger of Governor Curtin, for the kind attention given her upon the bloody field of Antietam. Unacceptable gratitude. Lieutenant J n, late of the Sixteenth Regiment, was a few days ago walking down Main street, when he was accosted by a fellow, half soldier, half beggar, with a most reverential military salute: God bless your honor, said the man, whose accent betrayed him to be Irish, and long life to you. How do you know me? said the lieutenant. Is it how do I know your honor? responded Pat. Good right, sure, I have to know the man that saved my life in battle. The lieutenant, highly gratified at this tribute to his valor, slid a fifty cent piece into his hand, and asked him, when? God bless your honor and long life to you, said the grateful veteran. Sure it was Antietam, when seeing your honor run away as fast as your legs would carry you from the rebels
