something similar, to support his head.
| AS soon as he had grown little COM
Portable, and rallied from the extreme pain,
he rose up, and shaking his fist at her,
with volley Of horrible and obscene oaths,
exclaimed, All, you d Yankee --,

blow the head off your shoulders, then
God d. me I" For an instant the
blood Of an insulted woman, the daughter
of soldier, aud the daughter of regi-
ment, was in mutiny. She snatehed a
musket with bayonet fixed, that lay close
by, and an instant more his protare and
indecent tongue would have been hushed
forever. But as she was plunging the
bayonet at his breast, wounded Union
soldier, who lay near, caught the point of
il in his hand demonstrated against killing
wounded enemy, no matter what he said I;
and in her heart the woman triumphed,
and he spared him, migrate that he was.
| AT Newberne, she also gave her spare
moments from the Union hospital in aid
of the enemy's wounded, and on one &C.
casion was insulted by an aristocratic reb-
Ell woman in silk, for which she was or
dered out of the room by the rebel sur
geon in charge. On another occasion a
rebel colonel attempted to be sarcastic
upon her, and was rebuked by General
Burnside, who happened to be present,
upon which he promptly apologized to her
for what he had said.

Boston, Galen, James Il Co., 10 Corn

This highly interesting work is COM
pilation from the pages of the Congrega-
tionaist. 1t is a book, as its title indi-
Gates, is adapted to household reading, AMI
scattered through its pages will be found
instructive and useful reading for all, old
young and, and equally acceptable to those
Of different evangelical denominations. 1t:
articles are not sectarian but those Of a
religious nature are calculated to direct
the mind TO that better country whittier
we are all ending. There are contribu
lions from some of the ablest divines il
our land as well as from some of the mos
literary writers of the present day; IL
reading will be found an intellectual anC
entertaining pastime in every family
where it finds its way. A fair estimate OF
the character and ability of the " Congre-
gationalist" may be found from these pa
ges, notice of which may be found in
another column of this paper.
The HOME JouRNAL.-Among all the
publications of which we have occasion to
mention at This season, we would by nc
means omit 10 mention the best literary
paper in America, = The Home journal, .
published by N. p. Willis and Morris
Phillips, 10Y, Fulton Street, New York
We hardly know of any paper SO well
calculated to carry happiness, and cheer
fulneSs and entertainment to the fireside
and homes of the American people. We
notice the bill of fare for 1867, is unusu-
ally rich and good, and yet we hardly see
how they can excel previous volumes.
