A YOUNG SOLDIERS SISTER.

A lad of less than sixteen, named Darling
from PitsfleId Mass, recently enlisted IN Capt.
CromweI's company, in the Northern BIac!;
Horse Cavalry. On learning that he had sick
mother at home, who was sadly afflicted By his
departure, the captain discharged the youngsteI
and sent hlm home as the brave lad supposed Oh
a furlough. He has received the following
acknowledgement of his kindness from the Sis

CAPT CRoMwgLL-Dcor Sir: Ny Brother,
David H. Darling, LAD of rs, left home and
ioiued your command without the consent or
even the knowledge Of our parents [ went
from school 10 see him last Thursday, and sta
ted these facts TO your Cd lieutenant. Our
young soldier returned home on Tuesday, on
fur!ough, as he supposed, and seeing the effect
OF his conduct upon my mother and sick SIS
ter, gave his consent 10 remain. But be IS ve-
ry much afraid you will think that be did not
give you his promise TO return IN good faith, or,
TO ase his own term, that he has 'bacEed out;
so be made ne promise before ! tetGrned that
would explain TO you. THIS, then, "ls to Ger
tIfv," gentlemen, that the young Darling atore-
said has not abated his desire IN the least degree
to serve his country under your especi2i gai-
dance, although he has consented 10 devote hlu-
self in the more humble capacity cI staying at
home and mindIng his mother.
Having reached the advanced are Of sixteen,
he possesses the strength of Hercules, the saga
city of Telemaque, AgulieEs' bravery, end the
patriotism of Washington, whom you have prob
ably heard mentioned before. Would that he
could add 10 these few Of Methuse!ah's super
huous years, for youth, though no crime, IS very
incoavenient in his case. OF course, the ad-
vancement of the Black Horse Cavalry is ma
terlally retarded, and IFS glory din,med for a
season, but wherever yol are at the end of two
years, he is determined 10 join you. II thou
would'st take me in his place, | should be very
happy to go. believe not only in this war,
but fighting IN general, and think that If wo-
men were permitted to use the "knock-down
argument it would civilize not only their mu-

Meantime, awaiting thy orders,
