Yesterday, as one Of General How ards head

little bright-eyed mulatto girl slipped off from

holes and deep creeks

Turning her dusty, piteous face towards her

need house ? "Oh yes" says the mother
we need house" and the poor woman wept
when she thought how great was that need. Not
for herself simply did she shed those tears sh
no, but the suRerings that must come upon her
little babes, were more than mothers heart could
bear. " Mamma" says Fannie for that was the
child's name, will go and ask God to give US
a house." She went into the bedroom to pray,
leaving the door aar SO that the mother could see,
and there kneeling by her cradle with her hands
clasped together, her little curls dropping down
on her shoulders, and looking up to heaven
with such love and trust that she seemed mora
like being from purer world than an inhabi-
tant of this sinful earth, she offered her simple
prayer. 90 Lord, please lend us house. II is
cold out of doors to stay on the doorstone please
lend US house" Simple as her prayer was, the
Lord heard it. Coming from the bedroom she
threw her ar MS around her mothers neck and
kissing her plead with her to cry no more, for
says she, A." God will give US house, know he
will. = And so it proved Her rent has been
paid for her by some one, from that time to this.
When the speaker left Chicago about week ago,
this little girl and her sister came to him and
wanted to know what they could send to the SOL
diers. They had prayed for u.s. but they wanted
to send us something Finally Fannie's face
brghtens up and she says, I" | will tell you, Mr..
Moody, what we will send them. | have got pen.

widows mite truly, for the speaker thought it

house, and perhaps all they had seen for many
days. Before the speaker closed, he asked US
what word he should carry back to that little child
who had contributed her all for US. lie said be

this morning have just returned. They say a
squad Of rebel pickets came into our brigade the
other night. They said their officers never tried
to hinder them from coming in, but purposely
looked the other way that they might not see
them, nor appear to have connved at their coming
The officers seem to have given up ell hopes Of
the CoOfederacy, and though they do not want to
compromise themselves, they are perfectly willing
that others should contribute what they please

way in which they now know it must eventually
