JuiIro Fisher, of York. Pa., who went to Gettysburg Immediately after tho news of tho battle had arrived, for tho purposo of tuc- coriug the wounded, gives an Interesting ac count in the 1'hiladelphia I'lincs of tome of the harrowlug tcenea she witnessed ou the battle field. Among others she relates the following pathetic Incident : Due beautiful evening, after a long day s hatd work, one of luy boys came to uie uud said: "There it a -111110 chap' out there who heard there wai a woman from his home and he wauls to see you." "I found him at the farthest extremity of tlie hospital, wllh a half dozen other hopeless cases. Hn was a lovely boy, tearccly more than a child, who had run away from hit home in I'rotidouco, H. I., to Join tho "drum corps." Ho sii a brave boy uud a great pet among the soldiers, who nursed him tenderly as possible, but could poorly tup ply a mother's loving care. Uotv he longed for one more look of her dear faco and once again to hear her sweet words of lore ! He was to frail and slight It was a marvel how ho could have endured the fatigue and pi Ir.itiou so long, lie was uot dlsllgurcd by wounds, but cou- st.iul marches, InsiilUcicnt food und often tlutpless nights hud exhausted his strength and ho had not the vitality to resist the sharp at tack of fever. He was perfectly conscious, but too weak to say much. I aaked the poor child what I could do for hlio. "O ! 1 want my mother !" I eat dowu on the ground, and tak uiui In my arms tried lo comfort him. He turned his face to me, saying, "I am sn tired," laid his hiiad against me and appeared to sleep. 7'he last rays of the sun touched the lovely features of the dying boy. The long-drawn shadows vanished in the galherlug daikuets. Silence, unbroken lave by the plalullre moan of some poor victim, succeeded Hit hum of the busy day. The pitying dews shed a balm upon his trow. Fainter and fainter grew the breath and inort feeble Hie clasp of the llltle hand, wheu suddenly rousing lie opened his eyes, glazed in death, and looking long and eai uesl- ly Id my face, said : "Kins mn, lady, before 1 die !" Clinging slill cioser to the stranger who could faintly represent the fond mother's ten dcrness he so eagerly craved, he dropped his heavy lids and slept away his brief life as peace fully as a child goes to sleep in Its mother's arms. I gently laid Ihe lifeless form down on the hard earth and left him to a soldier's burial and nameless grave. Poor fellow, what an atom he seemed to be lu all that mass of wretched, suffering, dying humanity ! Yet ho was all the world to Hie heart of that mother, who wept ami prayed for her darling's safe re turn to tho ili-tant home, that never again would echo his boyi-h step or ringing laugh.
