night last winter he told his new hell to

see what there was in his box, giving him
the number. In due time Jerry returned
and putting up the horse, made his appear
ance at the door of the library of Mr..
D, who, sitting in gown and slippers,
was impatiently waiting the arrival of the
mail
"Wel, Jerry what was there for me9"
Two lethers and wun paper, to be sure,
"WeII, hand them to me. What are you
standing there for!
"Indade, sir, and you didn't tell me to
bring them at all, at aI.'
Mr.. d., finding that Jerry had the best of
it, asked him what ho went to the office for.
"Yor tould me to go to the office, and
see what was in the box, and havn't done it,
sure, sir!"
Jerry bad to harness up again, and take
another ride in the cold, muttering as he
went that he wished his Honor would "be

RELlGGous FEELING IL CAMp.--Ihe follow
ING is narrated in an eastern exchange, of the
very active olonel of the--reomen in
camp on the Potomac. The Colonel was
very profane, setting wicked examples for his
men every day, and creating no little excite
ment among the brigade convocation of chap.
lains. One of these pious men undertook
to save the Colonel and his regiment, and
early on Monday morning, after Sabbath
evening consultation with his brethren, he
entered the accursed encampment and called
upon the unreoenerate Colonel. lie WAS
politely received and beckoned to seat on
chest.
"Colonel,' said he, elevaing his eye brows,
"you have one of the finest regiments in
the army" 81 think So" replied the Colo
mel. "Do you think you pay sufficient atten
ton to the religious instruction of your menF
"WelI don't know" replied the Colonel
"a lively interest has been awakened in the
-regiment; the Lord has blessed the
labors of his servants, and ten men have
been recently baptized" This was riva
regiment. SIS that so pom honor?' asked
the Colonel. "Yes sir" "Sargeant," sale
the Colonel to an attending Orderly, shave
fifteen men detailed Immediately to be bap
tized I'll be id if I'll be ou,done in any
respect" 1t is hardly necessary to add that
the Chaplain took note of the interview and
Withdrew.
