The Girl Soldier.
f WAS rtp.tailod on dntv sit theUnited States Hospital, Tullahotna, Tennessee, during the
s spring of 1SG5. We hadhadan accession of new patients, andevery ward was crowded to its ut-most capacity. The troops in thevicinity had been augmented bythree or four new regiments, and anepidemic of measles was at its max-imum and very fatal. It was adark time, and many a youth whohad alwa3's had the comforts of awell ordered home and the tendercare of a mother, found here a hardconch, and with fevered brow and asad heart wandered in his deliriumback to the associations of childhood with its innocent and Lappysports.
Our surgeon, Major Samuel Hart,was a noble man, who with Jusequally noble wife resided in thetown, while myself and two otherassistant surgeon.? occupied a larger tent in the vicinity of the hospital. Our tent was provided witha lloor and well lurmshed. we hadan abundance of books and papers,and had it not been for bad healthand the dark cloud of sectionalstrife which obscured our nationalsky my duties would have beenone of the pleasant episodes oflife.
Our hospital was a large three- -
story building, with porches, airyrooms, and broad fire-place- s, anahad been designed for a tavern.My post of duty was number threein the third story, and I had an av-erage of about forty-fiv- e patients.The regulations required me to seeand prescribe for them once a day,but I always visited my ward twicea day, and sometimes oftener. Inthe morning attended by the wardmaster I examined each patient andprescribed. At 8 o'clock p. m., I re-
turned to the ward to sec that theattendants were faithful in the per-formance of their duties and prescribed for new patients, or madechanges in treatment of the morn-ing if necessary.
Some of our patients were veryyouthful mere boj's who contrasted in a marked manner withmen of large frame and brawnylimbs, and strangely indeed withmen in advanced life with whitenedlocks and the decrepitude of ageupon them. In this mixed andvaried crowd, with nearly every ex-treme of life in years, habits, talentand culture, I observed with inter-est a youth who appeared to beabout eighteen 3'ears of age, veryfrail and very fair, a private soldierfrom an eastern regiment. Hisname was Charlie II , and hisdisease was the measles. ' Like ma-ny others, he had progressed finely for a few days, then grew worse,and commenced, sinking, his caseresisting all the appliances of medi-cal skill.
There was nothing about himdifferent from oth,er boy patientsexcept his extreme iairness a fem-inine mould and charm a something moso delicate and spirituelle.His patience and address soongained the good will and care ofattendants, and his culture and refinement the respect and friendshipof all. Everything done for himwas always right, and he was grateful for the smallest attention andkindness. We became much at-
tached to him without altogetherknowing the reason why, and theanxiety for his recovery was general, and manifested in more than or-
dinary devotion and effort. Yet,despite this, it was but too evidentthat we would soon be called uponto place him in a coffin, convey himto the dead house, and from thencewith reversed arms and strains ofsad music, to his last resting placeamong the honored dead.
I had visited ray ward for thelast time that day. My colleagueswere in their beds and I was preparing for rest when the orderlysergeant presented himselt andsaid :
"The surgeon of ward numberthree is wanted. Charlie II isdying."
I sprang to my ieet."Very well, I'll be there in a few
minutes."I put on my coat, picked up my
memorandum book, and was soonat the bedside of Charlie. I wasoften sent for. Sometimes patientsfancied themselves worse: sometimes my presence was indispensi-ble- ,
and very often I was made theconfident of some poor fellow s dying message to his parents or wneand children. There were scenesin that hospital which I shall neverforget. There prayers oficred thatwould melt the hardest heart.There were developments of friendship and love that no human authorcan portrav I have seen a friendlinger over a dying couch, when theexhalations of disease were as poisonous as the breath of the simoomI have seen the dying soldier covera photograph of wife, sister or sweetheaitwith the kisses of fondest affection or more prssionate love, thatceased only when the eye lost itsluster and tle muscular grasp itsstrength in the stillness of the lastlong sleep.
1 sought the bedside of CharlieHis pulse was weak and rapid, hisbreath hurried and laborious. lieroused from a fitful slumber, withan unearthly brightness in his eyeslie knew me in a moment, and asmile lit up his emaciated face. Hecaught my hand in both of his andsaid:
"Doctor, lam dying!""I know th-it- , Charlie; is there
anything I can do for vou?""Yes," said he, with eagerncs. He
closed Uis eye.s and relaxed his holdon my hand and lay for some momonts still and silent. It was nowquite late, and all the nurses excent the two on dutr were iu theirwelcomed beds. The lights burneddimly, and the stillness was onlybroken by the call of some patientfor water, or the low muttering aelirium of some one nearing the darkvalley. "Doctor, I want to tell yousomething."
"Very well, Charlie, what is it?"I inclined my head that I mighthear more distinctly. lie put uphis arms and encircled them aboutmy neck, and drew me close to aim
Then he put his lips close to my earand whispered something that mademe start.
"What?""Hush ! I am not what jou all
take me to be; I am a woman!"It would be impossible for me to
describe my feelings. A thousandthoughts llahed throngh my brain,a thousand emotions filled my heart.There I had been for months, sur-rounded by the sick, the dying andthe dead. I had mingled with suf-fering, disappointment and sorrowin every form and of every shade,and had patiently, calmly andfaith-fulb- y
done my duty, and kept mymanhood in equauimit3, but nowthe hot tears ran down mv cheeksand my heart seemed almost break-ing. Never before had I realizedthe greatness of the calamity thattho rebellion had entailed upon ouronce peaceful and happy countryIt is true I had seen and felt, butI had endeavored to comfort myself as became a dignified memberof my profession. I looked on dis-ease in the light of medical science,and endeavored to realize sufferingwith skillful treatment and gentlehands. I had cheered the desponding with words of hope and kindness and had devoted myself entiretirely, fearlessly to my duties, butnever until now did I feel fullv thevastness of my responsibilities, never until now my heart thrilled withthe anguish that filled a hundredthousand homes with sorrow, be-
reavement and desolation."Doctor, I want jrou to do this.
You know my sex now, and I donot wish any one else to know it.Promise me that you will keep mvsecret. You j ourself place me inmy coflin. Swear to me
"But whyr u hat is your name?In the name of all that is good,what was your motive for joiningthe army? Tell me all."
o! I would have told younothing could I have been sure thatmy secret would not have beenfound out. Do you promise me?"
I will do as you wish, and sacredly jierform my trust. Have youparents, brothers or sisters?"
".No; I am alone in the world.My brightest hopes have beenblighted. I have nothing to livefor but my country, and for thestars and stripes I die! I ro tomeet dear ones on that beautifulshore. I go to the arms and affec-tions of those whose love perishednot, even in death. When they hadgone l iouna comtort in iriendship,and joy in the bright, sweet dreamsof a love that comes but once tomortals. But he was false! Doctor,
give my life for my country. Ihave fought to defend its rights andmaintain its honor. .And now farewell. God bless vou meet methere!"
And with these words, and othersthat I have forgotten, she ceasedfrom exhaustion. The cold sweatstood thickly on her brow, a brighthectic spot burned on each cheek,the eye grew lustreless and closed,a slight convulsion passed oyer herframe, and she ceased to breathe.The pulse fluttered a moment longer, the color faded from the cheek,and the girl soldier was dead!
Gladly would I have obtained thehistory of her life, the great griefthat had blighted her stainlessheart and its pure affections, thesecret of her self imposed martyr-dom on the altar of our country.
I found joy in the bright, sweetdreams of a love that comes butonce toiuortals; but he was false."
Oh, God! must thy creatures suffer, suffer, still drink from the bitter cup! Must those most pure inheart, most noble in purpose, sosensitive to suffer keenly mustthey most worthy of all that makeslove and life desirable weep overthe grave of crushed affections, orlinger only in the delusive smilesthat cluster around the mockery ofworthless vows !
I called one of the nurses."Charlie is gone," I said. And
the nurse rubbed his eyes, gaspedand deliberately took a chew of to-
bacco.Tell rou what, Doc, the measles
play the dickens with the boys.That's five to-day- !"
".Need not change him, lorn.You get his things, and we 11 puton his nants, coat and a pair ofsocks. I'll attend to that whileyou go down and tell Elias Faribeeto send up a pint of brandy.
I was left alone. When he returned I had "Charlie" dressedWe lilted the body onto the bier,bore it out to the porch, and threwa blanket over the cold clay.
"Tom, don't move that boy till Iirive vou permission, and set hiscoffin early."
At nine o'clock next morninghelped carry the bier to the dead-hous- e:
helped put the inanimateform into the coffin and naileddown the lid myself.
We buried "Charlie" with thehonors of war, and for the first timethis sketch of the "Girl Soldier" isgiven to the public.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe,while in Savannah recently, expressed the opinion that the southwill in the next 10 years make rapid progress in all internal develop-ments. A better tide of emigrantswill soon seek the fertile fields ofthe south, as the west has alreadyreceived more emigrants than it 13
at present possible to accommodatewith all that they desire m establishing themselves for life in futurehomes. The south presents themost glorious field for homes ofmany thousands who are landing onour shores, and it is only a question of time before it will be swarm-ing with manufactories and industrial pursuits equal to Manchesteror Lyons.
Conkling is continually snagginghis breeches. His after dinnerspeech announcing the petting backof the country ten years on accountof Grant s defeat at Chicago haswon for him many warm expressions of ridicule: and his abdicationfar the republican party of its leaseupon the country has drawn thestoppers from cross after cross ofbottled wrath. Poor Conkling! Heheld his breath, two years and tinwas but the Trothinc over of hiswrath whoso links of bitterness were
. long drawing out.
bs JIada to Labor?Prof. W. J. Beal, of the Michigan
Agricultural College, to the KuralNew Yorker says:
Our educational labor has notbeen made as prominent as any ofus thought it should be. It hasnot been marked and put on recordTo encourace our students to getgood lessons, vre urge regular attendance on classes,lectures and labratory work. We call on them torecite at odd intervals and markthem for their effort. We frequently examine them by requiringwritten answers to close questionsin great variety. These marks forrecitations, lectures, labratorywork and examinations go on record, arc seen and discussed by alat the college. With the exceptionof a short period, no attempt hasbeen made to "place manual labor ouan equal footing with recitations orlectures. SLudents are not stimu-lated to learn how to perforin vari-ous kinds of work by being markedon a scale, as they arc for classroom jrork. Kcniove all classmarks and all final examinations,and sec how soon it would detractfrom the application to study. Thesame rule holds good regarding la-
bor. To be sure, students are nowid wages for their work per
formed, This docs not go on thesame record witn tue studies.Work for wages docs not nesessa-ril- y
induce a man to seek allkinds of work to secure a highrank.
I would insist on a good- - manualtraining of every stndent of agriculture or horticulture. He shouldbe examined with tools in hand aswell as in the class room, andmarked for proficiency, This hasbeen tried enough to guarantee itssuccess. Such manual work alonewould make mere manipulators andnot necessarily good thinkers.Class-roo- work alone in agricul-ture or horticulture is like a coursein elementary cncmistry wuuouiexperiments, a course in surveyingwithout field work, a course ot medicine without dissection of subjects.acourse in botany with the examina-tion of flowers left out. It is merebook-learning- ; it is cramming; it is
study of words without knowingtheir meaning.
In a college course two or threehours of work daily are often objected to because they occupy somuch valuable time, btudents notunfrequcntly ask to be excusedfrom work to put more time ontheir studies. But 'a long experi-ence in this and other colleges inwatching the progress of studentswho work regularly there'.times a dayand those who do not enables meto affirm with much confidence thatmanual labor is not a hindrance to intellectual progress. Onthe contrary, manual labor is
great benefit, in several respects.No person can study all the timewhile he is awake. I here must besome change, some pn sicai exercise.
In the minds of some, an agricultural college should teach why toplow, and not how to plow, why totrim apple trees and grape-vine- s,
and not how to trim them.There is time enough for studiesand the work too. The one aidsthe other, the practice will enforcethe theon7 or the indoor instructionand help fix it in the minds of thepupils. I have taught horticulturefor the past ten years; 1 have triedseveral methods and have watchedthe results, and am prepared to sayof mere lectures and book instruc-tion what Huxley says of bookknowledge in natural history, "It i3a sham and a delusion," or in thewords of Agassiz,, "It is a poor basis of culture." Without practice inconnection with most or all of theirstudies in horticuture, students cannot fully understand it.

Ccd Liver Oil vs. Syrup.Milwaukee Sua.
I had a little quiet fun thismorning at the ureuKiast tauio,said the boy. "You see, pa is thecontrariest man that ever lived. IfI complain that anything at the ta-
ble don't taste good, pa says it isright. This morning I took thesyrup pitcher and emptied out thewhite syrup and put in some codliver oil that ma is taking for hercough. I put some on my pancakesand pretended to taste of it, and Itold pa the S3rrup was sour, and notfit to eat. Pa was mad in a second,and he poured out some on his pancakes and said I was getting tooconfounded particular. He said thesyrup was good enough for him,and he sopped his pancakes in themand fired them down las neck. Heis a gol durned hypocrite, that'swhat he is. I could see by his facethat the cod liver oil was nearlykilling him, but he said that syrupwas all , and if I didn't eatmine he'd break my back, and bycosh, I had to eat it; and pa saidhe cuessed he didn't have much ofan appetite, and he would just drinka cup of collee and eat a dougli-nut- .
I liked to died. But I felt sorry forma. Ma ain t cot a very stroncstummick, and when she cot someof that cod liver oil in her mouth,she went richt up stairs sickcrn ahorse, and pa had to help her, andshe had nooralgia all the morning.I eat pickles to take the taste out ofmy mouth, and then 1 laid for thehired girls. They cat too muchsvrun anyway, and when they cotonto that cod liver oil and swallow-ed a lot of it, one of them, an Iris!girl, got up from the table and puther hand on her corset, and said,howly Moses!' and went out in thekitchen, as pale as ma is when shehas powder on her face, and theother girl, who is Dutch, she swallowed a pancake and said, 'mineGott, vat vas der matter from me?and she went out and leaned on thecoal bin. Then they talked Irishand Dutch and got clubs and start-ed to look for me, and I thought Iwould come over hero. The wholefamily is sick, but I guess they willcet over it. Pa and I arc couig toChicago next week, and 1 think In
is going to try and lose me, but itsa coM day when I get anywherethat I can't find my way back."
:ad Eights.There has been considerable eon
trovursy in regard to the rights ofthe road and we are glad to be ableto give a few points in reference
thereto. They are as follows: Ifa farm-dee- d is bounded by, on orupon a road it usually extends tothe middle of the roadway. Thereare few exceptional cases, but ordinarily the farmer owns the soil ofhalf the road and may use the grass,trees, stones, gravel, sand, or anything of value to him, either on theland or beneath the surface, subjectonly to the superior rights of thepublic to travel over the road, andthat of the highway surveyor trother similar officer to use such ma-terials for the repair of the road;and these materials he may cartaway and use elsewhere on the road,vet he has no right to use them forhis own private purposes. - No other man has a right to feed his cattie there or to cut the crass or trees.much less to deposit his wood, oldcarts, wagons and other thingsthereon. The owner of a drove ofcattle which stops to feed in frontof your land, or a drove of pigswhich root up the sou, is responsible to u by such law as much asif they did the same things insidethe fence. No one has a legal rightto pick up the apples under yourtrees, although the same standwholly outside the fence. No traveler can hitch his horse to yourtrees on the sidewalk, without being liable if he gnaws tho bark orotherwise injures them. You mayuntie the horse and remove him tosome other place. If your wellstands partly on your land and partly outside the fence, no neighborcan use it except by your permis- -
i. io man has a right to standin front of your land and whittle ordeface your fence, throw stones atyour dog, or insultyou with abusivelanguage, without being liable toyou for trespassing on your land.He has a right to pass and repassin an orderly manner a right touse the road but not to abuse it.
. . -
Gen. Gordon, of the railroad commission, is reported by the Worldas saying:
As long as the roads comply withthe official requests and requirements of the commission, it is notgoing to quarrel with them abouttheir reservations of legal or constitutional questions that they sup-pose may hereafter arise. As be-- 1
fore stated, it is not the function ofthe commission to construe but toexecute the law under which it isacting. And in doing so we hopeto bring about a better understand-ing between the railroads and thepeople of the state. For a numberof our people, like those .of manyother states, have made complaintsagainst the railroads for excessivecharges, overcharges, rebates, dis-criminations, etc., and the legisla-ture has created the commission forthe purpose among other things ofinvestigating these complaints whenformally made, allowing the defendants a full and equal hearing withthe complainants before the com-mission. And in this way it ishoped that tho ends of justice maybe attained and a better understanding had between the people and theroads. But this commission doesnot expect to be able to bring thisabout in a day or a week or aIt is a great undertaking, but bystead, patient, hard work and timewe hope to accomplish it. The commission has much to learn in thesolution of what is called the "railroad problem" the people havemuch to learn and the railroads havemuch to learn. In every greatquestion like this between the rail-roads and the people there is near-ly, if not alwa3rs, some right, somewrong and some misunderstand-ings on both sides. It is the desireof the commission, as far as lieswithin its power, to remedy thewrongs, mutual or' otherwise, toconfirm rights and to remove misunderstandings, if such are found toexist,
Mr. Tilden has recovered hisstrength and vigor to no purpose.Henry Watterson has decided thatthe next president must come fromthe west. We expect that LncleSammy is humbled and paws thedust over his sackcloth frequently.It would be particularly bad forhim if Mr. Watterson's decreeswere not in tho habit of reversingthemselves. Four years ago he injected all tho balms and perreninlsimaginable into the feeble veins ofthe Great Unseated without avail,and now that he is trying the oppo-site process Uncle S. may bl-i;-
out iuto such rejuvenation as willsweep things up entirely. Wehope so.
Docwood .is a nlant of not larcegrowth, it is commercially of greatvalue. It is . indigenous to NorthAmerica, but it thrives best in NewJersey, Maryland and Virginia.WAere the soil is gravelly andshaded, it crows well in Tennessee.The wood is hard, close grained, andtakes a fine polish. It is usedpricipally in the manufacture otmallet handles, tops, karncs, shut-tles, harrow teeth and shoeing forleds. The bark is bitter, contains
many of the qualities of the Peruvi-an bark, and is often used as asubstitute for it.

A, M. B., in Rural Now-Vork-
There was anguish in the faces ofthose who bent over the little whitebed, for they knew that baby Maywas drifting away from them, goingout alone into the dark voyagewhere so many have been wrestedfrom loving hands, and as thev triedin vain to keep her, or even tosmooth with their kind solicitudeher last brief sorrows, they too ex-perienced in the bitter hours ofparting the pangs of death. Therings of golden hair la- - damp andunstirred on her while forehead; theroses were turned to lilies on horcheeks: the lovely violet eyes sawthem not, but where upturned andfixed; the breath on the pale lipscame and went, fluttered and seem-ed loth to leave its sweet prison.Oh, the awful, crue l strength ofdeath, and the weakness, tlic help-lessnc-
of love. They who lovedher better than life could lift no handto vcrt the destroyer; they couldonly watch and wait until the endshould come. Her merry, ringinglaugh would never again gladdentheir hf arts; her little feet wouldmake no more music as they ranpattering to meet them. Baby Maywas dying and all the house wasdarkened and hushed.
Then it was as the shadows fell indesert waves about us, that shestirred ever so faintly, and ourhearts gave a great bound :is wethought: "She is better! She willlive!". Yes, she knows us; her eyesmoved from one face to the otherwith a dim, uncertain gazo. Oh,how good God was to give her back !
How we would praise and bless himall our lives. She lifted one daintyhand cold almost pulseless, butbetter, better we would have it so
and laid it on the rough, brownedhand of the rugged man who satnearest to her. J lis eyelids were redwith weeping, but now let his facesmile like a rainbow as he feltthegentle pressure ofhislittlo daugh-ter's hand the mute, imploringtouch, that meant a question.
"VY hat is it, darling he asked inbroken tones of joy and thanksgiv-ing.
Sho could not speak; and 6o weraised her on the pretty lace pillow,and her wee white face shone in thetwilight like a fair star, or a sweetwoodland flower.
She lifted her heavy eyes to hiseyes that even then had the gloryand the promise of immortality inthem, and reachinc out her littlewasted arms, said in her weary,llute-lik- c voice.
"Help me across, vjapa!"Then she was gone. We held to
our breaking hearts the fail, bcauti- -
nif shell, whither we might not fol-
low. She crossed the dark river,and alone.
"Over tho river tho bratman paloCarried another, tho housohold et,
'Sho crossed on hor bosom her dimpledhands,
' And fearlessly entorod tho phantom hark:Wo felt it glide from tho silken sands.
And all our sunslnno grow tarangolydark."
Oh, Infinite Father When weweary and disappointed ones reachout pleading hands to Thee, wiltThou take U3 even as the child, andhelp us across over the mountainsof defeat and the valleys of humiliation into the eternal rest of Thypresence, into the green pasturesand beside the still waters, intothe City of New Jerusalem, whosebuilder and maker is God?
