We heard good story Yesterday related by n
German who was confined in one of the hospitals
AZ Nashville which proves conclusively that sick
soldiers appreciate food for the stomach more
than food for the mind
A Rebel lady visited the hospital one morning
with A negro servant. who carried large basket
on his arm. covered with white linen cloth
She approached our German friend and accosted
him thus
Are YOU good Union man p
Il ish dat" was the laconic reply Of the Ger
man. M the same time casting as hopeful glance
AT the aforesaid basket
THAT Is all wanted to know" replied the
lady. and beckoning the negro to follow, she
passed 10 the opposite side OF the room, where a
Rebel soldier Law and asked him the same ques
ton, to which he very promptly replied Not
by id sight" The lady thereupon uncovered
the basket and laid out bottle of wine, mince
pies, pound cake and other delcacies, which
were greedily devoui ed in the presence of the
Union soldiers who felt somewhat indignant.
On the following morning however. another
lady made her appearance with large covered
basket AMI she also sccost ed our German friend.
and desired to know il he was Union man.
Il ish by Got: no care what YOU got: | bese
Union.
The lady set her baSke, on the table. and our
German friend thought that the truth svailed in
in this case If il did not avail IN the other But
imagine the length of the poor fellows face when
the lady uncovered the basket and presented him
with about a bashel o; tracts. he shook his head
doleiuly and said:
Il no read English. and. peside dat Rebel on
Re noter side of tie house need them so more as
me- !"
The lady distributed them and left.
Not long afterward along came another richly
dressed lady. who propounded the same question
again 70 our German friend. he stood gazing at
the basket, apparently at a loss for reply AT
length he answered her, in Yankee style, az fol
lows:
by Got. you no get me dis time; vot you got
nit de basket"
The lady required sn unequivocal answer TO
her questions. and was about 10 move on. when
our German friend shouted out:
1T YOU got tracts, | bees Union: but If you
got minee pie. nit pound cake. uni vine. bees
secesh lax ter tivel !"
SICK soldiers have l;tle desire to read tracts
Aneh they are famished for the want of those
i''e ueicacies so conducive 10 the recovery OF
hosp'ui patients. When our ladies visit hospitals
win tracts. ~e would suggest the importance OF
accompanying them with basket of provisions.
