In the winter of ISG1, 1 lay sick in an army hospital, and was worn near-.- Y dr to skin and bone by one or those read diseases of the camp that has slain more soldiers than either bullets or steel. In this state of-beinsr, I felt like a burden, and scarcely crave more than feeble smile of gratitude -when in- forniedby: thojsurceon in char ere that : it had 'been ' decided to send me homo, as a chance of recovery. r But after I creit on board the cars at Richmond, and the train roiled -out from the depoU l beffan to look about me, and as i am so my spirits rallied somewhat, and I rejoiced in theeeU tug tliat home with all of its endear ing associations would soon be reach ed, and there I would get that rest and loving attention which one finds no where else, so perfectly, and that if my disease could not beconquerea, would at least iiave the consolation of dying amongst my loved ones: : ; train was a long one, and crowded to its utmost capacity. Sol- diersiTjoh a spree impudent and up roarious ; sick anu wounueu soiuiers, pale, feverish and pain racked : here a smart commissary, there a vermin in fested rough from the front; yonder an anxious, sad eyed woman taking her boy home to dia, further, on a young beauty airaid of the soldiers and their rouzh jokes, and yet half courting their notice alt sorts and conditions mixed together, but all. from the old cray heads to the young est prattlers, agreed in one thing, viz. : undying -devotion to the boutnern Confederacy. We were soon past l"Wtersburg, and a little later were rusnmcr Uirouxra North Carolina, leaving some passen gers and taking up others as we sped from station to station; but the same general description of my fellow trav elers that I have just given would hold good from beginning to end of the journey. ' 1 " We were past Weldon how far I can't exactly say and it was late in the night when I was awakened from an uncomfortable nap by the jerking of the train as it started off alter one of its - numerous stoppagesT:-.! looked out to see where. we were! It was a wood and water station, and standing on one end of the wood rack there was a little boy. ' He was peering for ward into the car -windows as. the train slowly moved by.' I would have thoue-ht no more of the circumstance. but almost next moment the rear door of the car was openedjand the same boy that:;I liad.see.njonthe wood rack came timidly forward. "Why, sonny." I said, 'where-did vou come from? - "Out yonder," T pointing -"into the darkness. "1 know j that much already, for if I'm not mistaken ' you are' the same boy I saw out on the wood rack just now, ain't you!" ( ;v-j i f i uo riuuueu assenu 4 "Well, J where did ; you come from before that? Don't be afraid; come here and tell me about it! v ?

" When the conductor made his next round through the train, j paid the little fellow's fare, and as. he .was evidently 5Yeryj;tiredi-jpresstI my own ;'wearinesa' and weakness, . . and gave up the best part of the seat hi order to make him as comfortable as circumstances would permit. After a while day dawned, and we got some breakfasts Harry eating as if famished. 1" told -his story to several of our traveling companions, and-f they all seemed interested in him; and quite a group gathered around us to hear the httlA fellow recite the history of his wandarinsrs.-- He told: ua that he had kepi to the line of railway as much as possible, and had trayeled at the rate or from eight to tenTmies a day. - He bad . avoided ; the -dwelling nouses of the planters, and had ob tained food and shelter mainly! from the neerroes. for the child.Was shrewd enough to know that they would not be as apt to hinder uis progress as trie whites., for . the latter would undoubt edly have stopped liira and sent him back to Charleston " - I, promised him. that J would look upi bis father on . my jari'iyal in Char leston, and with that assurance be seemed terfecUy content, and amused himself in the usual' fashion of Roys fopthe.re-ofe;jaurney By the time we reached Charleston the journey' had so exhausteutmy strength that l left the train more dead than alive, and when my mother clasped me to her bosom, her joy . over my return was cnuiea dt ine gloomy anticipations which my appearance aroused, and her very first movement was to get me comrorxaDiy in, Deo, anu then" set off at once 'for our family physician. He 'came at once., and calmed .her fears by the assurance that rest and good nursing would bo sure to pull me through. " - ' We ll have him strong enough. to eat two more rations before long," he laughingly remarked as he left, the house. , - -. ' . But notwithstanding, that the home nursing did greatly benefit me, I was still for some days too weak and ill to Bve much attention to my promise to -tie Harry., My brother ascertained for me that rtn simli noma aa Aintin xrrnQ iofricf ed at any of the hospitals. He also inquired ror tne ramiiy witn wnom Harry haJ,. been staying before he ran away, but they could ;not be found. - My motherand sisters were too much concerned about me to think much about anything else,- and it was tacitly understood that Harry s would iust remain quietly i with. us until I had gained suolcient strength f to hunt up those to whom he belonged. . t I had been home , perhaps ten days. perhapslonger,; when ,thef quiet of ray sick cliamber was interrupted by the direful calamity that befell the city- I'mean the great fire that swept from river to riveriand ip. a "few awful and hover to be forgotten hours rendered hundreds , of . people houseless, hornet less and penniless., -V- 5 ' ' " ?
