three years ago, but his parents objected to IT,
One morning he was sent to drive the COWS ia
pasture, on his way to work, taking his dinner
with him. But at night he did not come back,
because he had run away and enlisted in the
10th regiment. He remained through the three
years without furlough, and returned with
the regiment, unharmed by rebel bullets. He
arrived in the old pasture at home, one night
last week, Just at "Cow time" and lelsurely
drove up the same old cows, as If he hadn't
been away for three Years. His reception "
was joyful one, none the less so because bis
coming was a complete surprise.
