Mince Pies VS.. Tracts.

A good story is related by German who
was confined in ono of the hospitals at Nash.
yillc, which prove conclusiyely that sick SOL
dicrs appreciate food for the stomach moro
than food for the mind.
A rebel lady visited the hospital one morn
ing with o negro servant, who carried large
basket on his arm, covered with white lin
on cloth. She approached our German friend
and accostcd him us:-"Arc you good
Union mani" "I ish dat" was the lacon-
10 reply Of the German, at the same time
casting hopeful glance ut the aforesaid
basket. "That is all wanted to know"
replied tho lady, and beckoning TO the negro
70 follow, she passed to the opposite side OF
the room, whore rebel soldier lay, and ask
cd him the same question, 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 delicacies, which were
creedily deyoured in the presence Of the
Union soldiers, who felt somewhat indignant.
On the following morning, however, another
lady made her appearance with large COW
cred basket, and she also accosted our Ger
man friend, and desired know If he was a
Union man. al ish. by got; l no care what
you got; I bese Union" The lady then set
her basket on the table, and our German
friend thought that the truth availcd In this
case If il did not fail in the other. But i'm
agiue the length Of the poor fellows face
when the lady uncovered the basket and pre-
sented him with handful Of tracts. He
shook his head dolefully, and said, III no
English, and, peside, dat rebel on TO noter
side Of to house need dem so more as me.
The lady distributed them and left. Not
long afterward along came another richly
dressed lady, who propounded the same ques-
ton again to our German friend. lie stood
gazing at the basket, apparently at loss
for reply. At length he answered her, in
Yankee style, as follows: "By got, you no
git me dis time vat you got NIT to basket?'
The lady required an unequivocal answer to
hcr question. and was about to move on,
whom our German friend shouted out. "lf
you got tracts, bees Union; but If you
got mince pie, nit pound cake unit vine, |
bees secesh lik to tibd."
