We left Winchester, in the "stciire. fdf ,Strasburgat,tcn o,-c!pe,ut,iui;ht, on the'ith , of l)eceinber. The" weather was bitter cold. bud we tonb:iatuiatcd ouVi'cltes tJiat Ui stasu was not crowded. : Mr. aiid the tfirls- were" ,ou the b:ick s,iats, a Methodist clergyman, a soldier,' and myself oil the middle, and two soldiers and om trwd(i Betsy on the front seat!-; .We wvnt otf .by slarliUtv with, every prospact of a pleasant drive df eighteen miles. As we' -wwe iRtfinif 5tTrttrstttl)s tf t Ire 1 ot n, thx d rU yer drew up before a small house, .from winch ssuecl two -women with a baby, two baskets. several bundles, and a box. Tli'e passenger's began to shout ouv : jO-.oa,-driver; what do you mean r tnere is no room for another; iro on." The driver made no answer, but the, women-came -to the ' st;fC-door, and 'begivn" to put iit their bundles ; the gc.ntleuieh prntQstaf that they could not get in there was no room.. i he woman with the oaoy saw she uwud got in: she. was "airwmc to trasuu;ir to spend 'Christmas with,. her relations, wluir she was. born and raised, and whar she had not been for ten years, and nobody had a better right to the stajrc then sue .had, .and sue was agwiue, and Kiltv Grini was agwinetoo she's my sis- teflaw ; ttiiUso, id baby, 'cause bubv never did see her relations in Strasburg in ,her life. So, J Uncle lieu I ' sne exclaimed to the driver,' " take my bagbasliet, aud box by yon, and meT and Kitty and baby, and the bundles und: the little basket, will go inside.'' All ttiis was said amidst 1 violent protestations -'frrtth the men withm j " iou can tget mfdnver, gwon." gentlemen .is gentlemen,, aau lias got any po liteness, they will git out and set with Cnele Ben, and let ladies come inside." A pause cn- aued. At last a subdued tone trom the soldier on the middle seat was heard to say : " Madam: if you will get oil' the step , I will get out.'' ' " V yry well, sir ; andfwhy .diou't ywii do that attirst? And; now," .said sie,. looking 'at a man on the front seat, "there's another seat by Uncle Ben ; isposen you git oat and let Kitty ti rim have your seat: shes bound to go." - The poor man quietly got out, "without saying a woiu, otic me very expression o-i ma tnrcs, ac j he got out of Uic was subdued. " iToirsh: Kitty, git m, and bring the little, basket nd taem two bundles ;:they won t paster the lady much." The door v.'as closed, and then, the scene being over, the passengers ..shouted with laughter; i ; ; x . j Our heroine remained perfectly passive.until we 2-ot to the picket-post, a n i,e from town. iThfrdriver stopped:: a: soldier etime up for passports. She as thunder-struck. 14 Passes i fasses for white folks ! I never heard of such a thinr. I ain't got no pass; nuther is .KittvV Grim." I suggested -to her to keep quiet, as the best policy.. Just at that time a Tennessee Sokaer had to confess that he had forgotten to get a passport. ' You can t go on, saiu tup olhcial; and the soldiwr got out. Presently the .woman's turn 'came'. ' 44 jViadam, your pass port, if vou please' . . 14 i amis got ujne; nuth er is Aitry Grim (that s my sister-in-law); uni t agwmo' to'git.out imxner,. -cause we s - 'ywino to ytrasbnrir to spend Clirtettnas w ltMT Ury relations, and f-aintbeen'thar for ten vOiirs; audi never, heard oi white folks; having pas scs." lint.

" 44 But, madam, my orders," began the picket. 44 Don't tell me nothing fbout orders; I don't Care nothing- bout or ders: and you necdu t think, 'cause the len- hessee man got out, that I'se agwine to git out 'cause I ai'ut. - Ain't 1 got three sons in the army, great sight bigger than you is ? and they fit i: t 'Alalia.- s is, and they ain't no cowards, nulher is their, mother ; and I ain't ::gvi;ie to itont of this stage this night, but Fin gWine to Strasburg, whar Jwas born and. raised." The poor man looked non-plused, but yet another ellbri; he began, 44j My dear madam." PI ain't none of your dear inadain,; IVe just free white woniHn, and'sd is Kitty Grim, and we ain't no niggers,, to git passes, and: I'se gwine 'long 'thiapiko to Strasburg. Now I'se done talking." With this she settled herself on the seat, and lent back j with a most deter mined air; and the discouintfed man shut the door, amid peals from without, again, and all sleet)., when the silence was: broken by roine: 44 Kittj-, is you sieli ?" "Ho," said Kitty.' 44 Well, it is a .winder. Gentlemen, can't one of you take Kitty's seat, and giveber yourn ? she gits monstrous sicR when she is a-ii-iding with lier. back, to, the horses." There Svas a death-like silence, and my curiosJty,was aroused to knoiv how she would managc that point. After a few mpments she began again. "Kitty, is you sick'?" "No," says Kitty, 4'uot yit." 44 Well, rdo-wish' one of you gentlemen would give Kitty bis seat." Stiir.no reply. All was becoming quiet again, when she raised her voice : 44 Kitty Grim, in yon sicTc ?" "Yes," said Kitty, 44 just a iittle.'? 44 1 knowed it ; I knowed she was sick? and i when ,Kitty Grim gits sick, she most in girm-al flinyK npl" The effect was electricC 44 My dear mudam," ex claimed both gentlemen 'at once, 44 take ihy seat ; by all means take my seat." The Meth odist clergyman being faeaicst, gave up his seat and took hers. The change was soon ef fected amidst. the most uproaroiis laughter, oil feeling that they were fairly outgenemlled the third time. - From that time until we reached Strasburg, at two o'clock, ihe kept up a stream of talk, addressed to the baby, never interrupt ed except once,- when the quiet-looking soldier on the front -seat ventured to say,,," Madam, do you never sleep 5?V..' Never, when I'm a travellmg," was the curt'reply ; and she talked on to the baby: r 4t Look at all them rnulcs- what a sight of fodder they must ;eatl ; .The Yankees come down to fight us, cause We'se got niggers, and, . thylalu't got none.
