a. PoTTsvILLE, April IA, 1864.
GENTLEMEN 81 have not command OF Ian
guage to express through you to Company A,
18th Regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, the plea
sure and pride I experienced upon the reception
of your most beautiful gift.
It's value is enhanced by the knowledge that 1t
comes from men whose lives have been exposed
upon many battle fields in defence OF the i1ber-
ties of our country and the blessings OF sell
government, and many of whom bear upon their
Dersons scars of honorable wounds received IN
lighting bravely for our sacred cause. "A gilt
from men like you is more to be priced by the
patriot hearts than rich testimonials from princes
hardly feel that have merited the testlmo-
NAL I endeavored in an humble way to dis
charge what considered duty to the sick and
suffering among those of our country's defend
ers stationed in midst, and should nave es-
teemed it blessed privilege to have extended
nv labors even beyond the limits OF our Noun
tain City in so sacred work. only regret that
NV means would not permit me to DO more for
our gallant soldiers than have been able TO ac-
complish.
The citizens of Schuylkill county recognize
with gratitude the valuable service you render
ed in preserving the majesty OF the law III tiils
region while in the discharge OF your duty APP
preciate your uniform gentlemanly deportment,
and trust that " when this cruel war is over, all
of YOU will have been spared to revisit the Spot
where Won have gained many warm friends.
I thank you, gentlemen, from my heart, for
your beautiful gift, and for the kind wishes you
express in your letter accompanying IT, mat

and having felt the weight, chose the heaviest
leaving the white man the lightest. When the
packages were opened, the first was found to
contain spades, hoes, and all the implements of

How BRAVE MEN SUFFER. AND DIE.-ln ms
report of the battle of Chckamauga, B. F. Tay-
lor records the following solemn, yet creditable
fact eff anybody thinks, that when our men
are stricken down upon the field, they fill the
air with cries and groans, till it shivers with
such evidence of agony, he greatly errs. An
arm is shattered, leg carried away, bullet
pierces the breast and the soldier sinks down
silently upon the ground, or creeps away, II he
can without murmur or complaint falls, as
the sparrow falls speechlessly, and like that
sparrow, earnestly believe, falls not without
the Father. The dying horse gives out his ut
terance of almost human suffering, but the man
eled rider is dumb The crash of musketry, the
crack of rifles, the roar of guns, the shrek OF
shells, the rebel whoop, the Federal cheer, and
undertone of grinding, rumbling, and splinter
ing sound, make up the voices OF the battle
field

THE KISSING DEACON.

In one Of our Puritanical towns of New
England, says on Eastern paper, lived
Deacon Brown, . very staid, dignified
sort Of a Christian, and perfect model oi
propriety. Deacon Brown had the mis-.
fortune TO lose his wife, and at the age OF
forty found himself with q family of four
small children, without mistress to his
farm house. As he could not immediate
ly take another wife and avoid exciting
scandal, and could not get along without
some one to take charge Of the kitchen
and nursery. he had recourse to employ
ing young woman as a house.maid. -
Nancy Sternes was laughing, romping
beauty, who delighted in experimenting
upon the Deacon by way Of t. sting the
strength Of human nature. For a long
time the Deacon was invulnerable; but
at last, in moment Of unguarded weak
ness, he was led into temptation, and in
to "slight indiscretion" with his beauti-
full house-maid. When he recovered his
wonted coolness and presence of mind, he
was Mortified at the enormity of his sin.
In vain he repented and grieved over lost
virtue. Finally, as last effort for easing
bis conscience, at the conclusion of the
services on the following Sabbath morn
ing he arose and requested the forbear.
ance Of the brothers and sisters q few
moments, when he electrified them by
making the following confession:
''My Christian friends, you all know
that lost my dear wife some months
ago, (sobs and tears) and that Nancy
Sternes has been keeping house for me-.
And you know that have little child
not year old. Well sometimes that lit.
tie child would cry in the night, and it
would be long time before could quiet
it; and last Tuesday night-God forgive
me-the child cried so hard that Nancy
arose and came into the room, and leaned
over the bed to hush the chlld-and
brothers and sisters, her leaning over me
there made me forget Christi"
Here the worthy Deacon broke dowr
entirely, and stood weeping, and wailing
and blowing his nose.
"What did you do?" demanded the
minister steFnly.
W-I-ki-kissed her!" stammered out
the Deacon between his sobs, "but have
been sorry about il, and prayed to be for.
given-and | want you to forgive me and
pray for me, brothers and sisters
As the Deacon bowed himself, upon
bis seat like the mighty oak before the
tornado, Deacon Goodfellow arose and
aStonished the audience still more by say.
ing:
brothers and sisters, you have heard
what brother Brown has said, and how
he wants our forgiveness. For my part
believe brother Brown is truly penitent,
and am willing to forgive him with my
whole heart And brothers and sisters,
viii add still farther, that if had no
wife, and pretty girl like Nancy Sternes
should come into my room, and lean over
my bed and lean over me, III KISS HER,
