Iained the picture from the case, and de-
clared his intention of finding the lady il
she was anywhere to be found.
Fortunately Mr.. Ryder knew the lady
who accompanied the young widow, and at
once went with the soldier to her residence.
Both ladies we're at home. No sooner did
the young widow see the soldier than she
and fell in fainting fit, for her
lover, that she had supposed dead, stood be-
fore her. He had been taken prisoner at
Bull Run instead of being killed, but had
refused TO write to any person, and his CON-
rades in prison knew nothing Of his friends
or previous history, so that the fact Of hi.
captivity remained known to but few, il
any. Mutual explanations followed ihs
happy meeting, and there is every indication
that, all obstacles having been removed, tn,
sorrows and sufIerings of the pair will b.
terminated by a happy marriage at no dis
tant day. AT all events the widows visi
to the East has been indefinitely postponed
and she has returned to Michigan, the nov
happy reunited couple having first sat I,
Ryder for pair of large Photographic por
traits, and taken his own portrait with then
as souvenir of the joyful meeting cause,
by picture from his camerea.

ANcEDoTE OF William
Sanderson was captain in the Revolution
airy War, under Gen. Washington. They
were standing together one day engaged in
conversation, when afterwards famous Gen.
Anthony Wayne rode up and joined them
and Gen. Washington said
Gen. Wayne, how many men will il take
TO storm Stony Point?"
Wayne's reply was" BY God, sir, can
storm it with one regiment"
Gen. Washington seemed both shocked
and grieved, and, without uttering a word,
but with stern and solemn countenance,
turned his back upon Wayne and stood sill
ent for few seconds; after which he turn
ed to Wayne, and said
Don't say by God General, but sciM
he help Of Cod"
That old captain, William Sanderson, had
three sons in the war of 1925, only one
of whom survived him. That son has often
heard his father tell the anecdote of WASH
ington and Wayne.

DECIDEDLY CooL.--An Arkansas volun-
teer in the Mexican war, riding on horse
back, came across an Illinosian who was
shot in the leg. The Illinosian told him
where he was wounded, and asked to be
taken up and conveyed out ofdanger. aAr-
kansas" placed him on behind his saddle,
and fastened him to himself with a leather
strap. While they were Fastening from
danger, a grape shot took "IlIinois" head off,
but Arkansas" thought he Lad only faint
ed from fatigue and pain. When safe
place was arrived at, the horseman releas-
ed his charge, and seeing his head was gone,
exclaimed, "Well, these Illinosians are the
greatest liars. Here's a rascal with his head
cut off, when he told me he was only shot
in the leg. You can't believe word these
fellows say!"
