Maggie and Mary have writun theirs and put them in the comfort bngs.nnd we think the soldiers Fill be pleased to find a letter. We sewed all yesterday afternoon and Maggie's mother is giong to send them away as soon as I write. May I Leave granted, Lula brought the wherewithal, and sat down gravely to the pioduclion of an epistle.

After an hour's hard work the brought it to me, nicely copied for the final reading. The composition was unassisted, and ran as follows: "Dear Soldier. We have all been nuking things for the soldiers, and I urnd this comfort bag to you. I hope "it will be very useful. How queer it hi ust look to see man sewing, but I suppose it must be done when there are no women.

I think it is very good nf jou to fight for the country, and I love you very much for it. It must be dreadful to gel wounded so far away from home. I hope God will take care of you, and bring yon safe home to your friends. I must stop now. Please answer this letter, for I want to know who gets the bag.

My papa is Mr. George Nelson, Brooklyn, New York. Yea mast direct to bis care. Yoar affectionate little friend. Lull" After the bags bad gone Lula became impatient to hear from her soldier, as she called him.

But many a long week went by, and the cbild had ceased to talk of it. when her father came in to dinner with the long expected document. with the faithlessness of middle age was surprised that it should come at all; but Lula was in testacies. The impatient fingers tore open the envelope, and coming to me we read it together. "Mr DEAR LITTLE FbUCXd" Thus the letter began "I have just finished yoar sweet note, and as you ask for a reply jou have it at length.

Waters, and who slept in a basket. She spent some time over the spilled ink over the table cover.aad double-dyed ber fingers. But aha sent off a cheery letter, and not a word of mine discotirged her. In dne time Mr. Fleming answered.and the correspondence went on all winter, I liked his letters very much; at well as Luis did, which is saying grest deal for them.

He remembered be was writing to a child, and while he interested her our feelings were excited by his simple relations. When Christ mas approached Lula wished to send him a box. "I think I ought mamma; he is my soldier, and has nobody else to think of him." I gave her permission, but offered no assistance, wishing to see how she would niannge. She begged a soapbox of the cook, and Johnnie helped her line it with paper. Gra.idma was now besieged with requests for a pair or two of the blue stockings she was constantly knitting.

They begged me to make a plum-cake, and papa gave a bottle of wine. The children bought nuts and candy, and Lula, after an anxious talk with me, sent as her own particular gift, pocket-handkerchiefs marked with his name P. Fleming." Papa having suggested something to read, Johnnie brought his favorite books, Arabian Nights aad Pilgrim'a Progress, and tfeald with difficulty be persuaded to sabtiiute Harper's Magazines. The acknowledgment of the box was a greateful letter that more than repaid us. Lula was specially delighed, because Mr.

Fleming confessed to a weakness for candy, and her father had laughed at her for sending bonbons to a soldier. There was a note to Mr. Nelson, in which Mr. Fleming said he was to have a furlough, with the rest of the regiment, before n-cnlisting for the war. Ho begged permission to see Lula.

Mr. Nelson immediately wrote for him to come. But we did not tell Lula, to save her the excitement and fretting of expectation. About two weeks afterwards I was reading in my room when Lula flew in. said she, 'there is sol dier down stairs asking for And she hid her face in my dress and began to tremble.

The servant brought in hit card. 'Don't you wish to see Mr. Fleming, 'No, no 1' she sobbed. 'I am going down, and will send Margaret up for you. You may be dis appointed in him, Lula; but remember.

he is fighting our battles for us; he is soldier, and as such deserves comfort and kindness. Expect nottiing, bat come down quietly when I send for I owned to a little trepidation myself. bat a glance dispelled it.

Lula's letter cme when he fell forsaken and almost des perate, and saved him.

His regard for her seemed a kind of reverence. While be was talking 1 saw Lula peeping in at the other end of tba drawing-room. and I called ber. At that name he rose, dropped the cap he held, and went forward to meet ber. She was blashiag like a peony an old-fashioned red one bat smiliing, aad looking up at him from under her long lathes.

He offered ber his hand without a word. LuU gave him hers, aad be kissed it a she bad been a princess and ba of the blood roysl.

For a loag tiate after Mr. Flemiag's departure, Johnny aad Lula played army plays exelasively. Tbey 'drilled with ai ap eamp sappers, feaght battles, were 'takes by gaerrillas est-bodimeaUof the stories of their friend. A few letters passed betweea, as for I aow andertook the balk ef the eorree-poadeaee, then tba eempaiga tie beard aaibieafv I was tare from the silence that followed Gettysburg, in which his regiment took prominent part, that something had happened to him. Mr.

Nelson vainly inquired, He wai thought to be a prisoner.but it was not positively known. Lula and Johnny could not realise oar fears. To be a prisoner was a fine thing in their eyes. What a story Mr. Fleming would have to tell them.

That fall we went to Baltimore to visit an old aunt, and in the course of our slay we went to see the hospitals. As I never lost ssy chsnee of hearing of the lost Fleming, I told his story to lbs pleasant young nurse who walked with as. She had been to the front, in the very first rank of those who went to care for the wounded. There was a Captain Fleming, ill in one of the wards, dying of the wounds he received Gettysburg. She did not know his first name, or anything about him.except that he had no friends to whom news of his condition could be sent.

I asked her to point him out, for a misgiving seized me. Surely it waa ha, white and changed. I drew back, fearing he would see me too suddenly. The nurse spoke, and told him some one had come to see him. A little color flashed into his face as I came forward, aad the poor fellow tamed his face to the pillow and sobbed.

I cried too. 'Why didn't you let us kaow where you were I asked at last. 'I said be; 'but my letters had been anaaawered for so long that I thought perhaps yon had done enough for me, so I wrote no more. Isn't Lula here 'You shall see her to-morrow. When you are a little stronger and can be moved, you must come to us.

We will nurse you well 'I shall soon be well enough to be said he with a melancholy significance, 'but not to your house, dear lady. Do yoa think Lula will know me? I hope she will not be afraid again. You will bring her I promised aud the next day we came, Lula knew he was ill, but she was not quite prepared for the white face, the great black eyes, with their eager, iolenoe glance. He smiled and motioned her to come near him Then yoa didn't forget your soldier, after all Oh, I didn't I didn't and both the soft arras went round bis neck. Can't you get up, poor Mr.

Fleming Do yoa said he, holding her to him with his little strength, 'they have made me a captain and given me a sword Lula, I must give it to you with my own hands. 1 know you will keep it for my sske. If I never disgraced my office, never hesitated in my duty, never doubted in the cause at last, it was became I knew Lula loved me snd believed in me. There it is. Will you bring it to me Lula was greatly afraid of any weapon, I knew.

I saw her pause and turn from him to the sword. It will not hurl you, my 1 said, 'it is in its sheath.1 So the dimpled, inexperienced hands broaght it to the bedsMe. He grasped it by the hilt, and held her hand with his there. A moment passed in silence. 1 thought he prayed.

Now good bye, dear little one. When 1 get well I will come for the sword. Keep it for me. Will you kiss me, Lula She stooped her pouting mouth to his, and then looking up to me.one arm hugging the fearfal sword, held out the other hand to be led away. The soft eves were filled with awe.

She did not cry, bat sat very still in the carriage. When ber father came in at night, Lula tried to tell him everything, bat abe could aot for ber sobs. The next dsy Mr. Nelson west with ate to the hospital, bat all was over. We told Lak tbat Mr.

Some two miles up the river from St. Johnsbury, Vermont, is a primitive sort of a village called "the center." Here, not long Mnce, the rustic youth of the vicinity congregated for a dance, "and dance they did," mid our informant, "with an unction unknown to your city belles and beaux." One interesting young man, having imbibed rather too freely, became "laugued in the course of the evening, and wisely concluded to retire for a short rest. A door xjir iieur the dancing hall revealed, invitingly, a glimpse of a comfortable bed, of which he took possession with the prospect of an undisturbed snooze. It so hnppei ed, howbeil thsi this whs the ladies drawing room, and no sooner had he closed his eyes than a pir of blooming damsels came in from the hall, and be-uan adjusting their disordered the dim light of the tallow candle not disclosing the tenant of the bed. The girls' tongues, like most of their "seek, run on iu this wise "What a nice dunce we are having; hnve you heard anybody say anything about me Jane "La, yes, Silly I Jim Brown says he never saw you look so lindsoojo a you do to-oighl.

Have you heard anybody say anything about me "About vou? why, sarlin, 1 hear Joe Flint tell Sim Jones that you wa the prettiest dressed girl in the room." WhercMipon the der little thing chuck led, "fixed up" a little more. Rniliniile off towards the bill room. They Imil hardly reached'the door when our it. 1 conscious friend raised himself upon his quite intelligibly, though slowly, inquired "H' you htard any Lorry tay anything ubout me, girls! They fled, with an explosive scream. Obeying Orders.

Mr. Toby, the new President of the Hudson River Railroad, is a millionaire. tie is not yet lortv Tears i aire, tie began life as a steamboat clerk with Commodore Vanderbilt. When lie took his position the Commodore gave him two orders first, to collect the fare of everybody, and have no deadheads on the boat; second, to start the boat on time, and wail for nobody. The Com modore then lived at Staten Island.

Toby obeyed the orders so literally that he collected fare of the Commodore uu the first evecim, and left him on the wharf the next moruing, as the boat could not wa't. The Commodore was coming down the wharf leisurely, and supposed of course, the boat would wait for him. He proved a man after Van- derbilt's own heart. He became his confidential agent and broker, bought and sold Haarlem, aud made himself a fortune. AMUAL EXHIBIT OF II RECEIPTS EXPENDITURES Financial Condition of JEFEERSON GOUNTV, KM.

Oliver Drawing Jurors Brady's Leap. Much has been s.tid and written about McCuilouifli's leap, when pursued by the Indians, near Wheeling, Viit'inin; but in temerity it does, not excel that of ICiptHin Brdy, (a brother of the gen eraij who waa ceieoraieu iu uny, ioi his valiant fe.Hs upon tho hostile sava ges along the frontier of Pennsylvania. Approaching one of the forts oocu- pied by the Amencans.one day, Oaptain Brady discovered, when too late to avoid it, that the savages had laid an ambuscade for him. In front, near the left, large numbers of armed warriors lay concealed, watching for thir prey. As Brady approached, and got within the ambuscade, the Indians in the rear closed in behind him; they all 'hen ruse and gave a terrible yell.

Ho was surrounded on three sides, and on the fourth ran a river, the bank of which was eitrbtv foet. of nearly perpendicular descent. The savages fell sure of their prey, and rushed furiously on. Brady saw bt once the extent of his danger, but beine mounted on a high mettled horse, he resolved not to be taken alive. Ha reined his horse toward the bank, gave him the spar sad rein; the gallant cbsrgar went off like an arrow, and sp-preached the bank with sacb tremendous speed tbst be coald not stop oa the msrgin.but with a furious bound sprang off, rider and all, into the air.

Fortunately there grew a large crab apple tree at the fool of the bluff, on the border of the river. The btwhy- top was thickly interfaced with a wild grape viae; into the top of the tree fell the horaa and its rider. The fall was com pletely broken. Tba Capt. toppled into the stream, reached the opposite shore amid a shower af balls, aad regained tba shore ia safety.
