The Louisville Journal tells this good
story. under the heading "Mince Pies vs.
Tracts"
We hearl good story Yesterday related
BY German who was confined in one ofihe
hospitals at Nashville. which proves con-
cusvely that sick soldiers appreciate fonl
for the s,omabh 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 y
white linen cloth. She approached our Ger
man friend and accos ell him thus:
"Are you good Union man9"
II ish dat" was the laconic reply Of the
German, at the same time casting hopeful
glance At the aforesaid basket.
THAT is all want to know replied the
lady, and. herkoning the negro to follow,
she passed to the opposite sile OF the room
where a Rebel soldier lay and asked him the
same question, to which he very promptly
replied.
Mot bv a id sight"
The laIy therenpon uncovered the basket
and laid ont bottle Of wine. mince pies
pound cake, and other delicacies, which
we're greedilv dpvoured in the presence Of
the Union soldiers, who felt somewhat ind q.
nant.
On the following morning however, an
other lady made her appearance with II large
covered basket; and she also accosle1 our
German trend, and desired to know if he
WAS Union man
"Ii>h. 10y Go,; no care what you got; |

truth avard in this case. il it did f. in the
other. But imagine the length of the poor
fellows face when the lady uncovered the
baske, and presented him with ahou bush

and said:
Il no read English, and peside, dat rebel

The lady distributed them an left.
Not long after, came another richly
dressed lady, who propounded the same
or.s,ion arain to our Grr'nan friend. lie

At loss f"r reply. AT length he
answered her in Yankee style. as f"llnws
"By Got, Won no get me dis time; vot YOU

The lalv required AN nneqnivocal answer
to her question. and was about to move on
when our German friend shouted out:
'If you got tracts. l beSe Union; but il

ROLL CALL.

"Corporal Green!" the Orderly cried;
.Here!' was the answer, loud and clear,
From the lips of a soldier who stood near;
And "Herc!'' WAS the word the next replied.
"Cyrus Drew!".-then q silence fell
This time no answer followed the CALI
Only his rear m IN had seen him fail.
Killed or woundel he could not tell,
There they stood in the failing light.
Those men of battle, with grave dark looks.
As plain to be read as open books.
While slowly gathered the shades Of night.
The fern on the hill side was splashel with
blood,
And down in thecorn where the poppies grew
Where reddcr stains than poppes knew;
A nd crimson-dyed was the rivers food.
For the foe had crossed from the other side,
That day in the face Of murdcrous fire,
And swept them down in its terrible ire;
And their life blood went to color the tide.
Herbert Clinc?"-at the call their came
Two st;,lwart soldiers into the line.
Bearing between them this Herbert Cline,
Wounded and bleeding to answer his name.
Ezra Kcrr''--and a voice answered "Here!'
Hiram Kerr" but no man replied:
They were brothers, these two; the sad wind
sighed.
And a shuddor crep through the corn field near.
"Ephraim Deane!"--thcn a soldier spoke:
"Deane carried our regiments colors' y he
said
"When our ensign WAS shot I left him dead
Just after the enemy wavered and broke.
'Close to the roadside his body lies;
paused moment and give him drink;
He murnured his mothers name l think;
And death came with it and closed his eyes"
Twas victory-yps; but it cost us dear;

Numbered but twenty tn 1t answered "Here!'
