Asleep in Jesus.
A AroucHINGlScIDENr OF THE LATE WAR

In secluded spot in Hollywood, not
far from the banks of the river, is the
grave of n young woman, at the head of
which is neat marble slab, on which is
inscribed the name of the deceased and
three verses of the beautiful hymn com.
nencing with the line "Asleep in Jesus"
1t has an interesting history: One day
during the war physician was sent for
to q house of .ill-tame to see one of it's
inmates. He found pretty young wo-
man sick, with slight disease, but labor
ing under that terrible lnalady consump-
ton After the doctor had prescribed
for her she manifested desire to talk,
and seemed anxious to disclose to him
her history. He gratiticd her, and she
told him she came from-County, In
the interior of the State She had loved.
not wisely, but too well, was betrayed,
and then abandoned by the man to
whom she gave the last proof Of her af-
ftction.
Overwhelmed with shame and remorse,
she came to Richmond, and entered one
of those houses Which very few, once
having entered, ever leave but for the
grave. Her health was failing; she ar
IDENTITY lougcd to leave the life she was
following, and appealed to the doctor to
try to find her home elsewhere. She
was willing to do the most menial work
if she could get home with respectable
people; to 60 anywhere, or do anything,
TO be. taken away from the companions
and scenes of the life she was leading.
The doctor Was interested in her, and
with that true bencvulcncc which charc-
tcrizes the profession, cxerted himself to
comply with her request. He related
the circumstances to n professional bro.
thcr, aud the two succeeded iu getting
her home with a Ioor widow lady, in
he suburbs of the city, upon the copdi
tion that when she MAS able she was tc
assist in the Work Of the household, and
when she WAS not, that the doctors were
to pay her board.
She went to her new home, grateful
and almost happy. She worked when
she could, but was almost always sick
After having been with the widow lad,
u month or two, she proiesscd conversion
Her health steadily declined, and ono
day when the doctor went to see her, she
said to him: doctor. | know | have
not long to live, and do not suppose
when | die any one will think of put
ting Il monument over the grave of
poor castaway like myself; but if ther,

of the beautiful hymn, Asleep in Jesus,
&c., over the spot i'll which my body lies
1t is n berutiful hymn, SO consoling, ant
sounds to me 50 much like peace at,
rest. She fingered Il few weeks longc
and died. Her death WAS peaceful an,
triumphant. Her body was laid in
quiet spot i'll the beautiful cemetery, ant
the doctor who had been her true friend
in life saw that her last request wa.
complied with y neat marble slab wa.
erected at her head. and three verses o
the hymn She loved so well mark the
spot where the repentant Magdalen lies

commended by distinguished citizens of
the Cnitcd States, and being also we'll
educated, and of good address, called
upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and told him that i would not apply i'll
the usual way by note to have Captain
Chester, IL colorcd American citizen. pre-
scented to his Imperial Majesty, as there
was no precedent, and did not know
how his Imperial Majesty would be dis
posed to net, but desired that he would
approach his Imperial Majesty iu an in
formal way, and ascertain his wishes in
this regard. The Assistant Minister of
Foreign Hairs, Mr.. Dc Westmann, ac-
qu;csccd i'll the proposal, aud in few
days wrote me that the Emperor had
given orders to have Captain Chester 5
name put upon the list for the first pre-
scntation. To-day, being the occasion of
Il grand review of the Imperial Guard
the Emperor sent an invitation to Cap
tain Chester to assist in the review,
which he did, riding around with his
Imperial Majc>ty's staff. and taking
lunch at The winter palace with the staff
officers, and portion of the Imperial
tamil.;, who accompanied the Emperor

TERRIBLE CONFEDERATION IN SwE-
DEN.-Late advices from Sweden report
most disastrous fire as having occurred
in the town of Gefe. 1t took place on the
10th ult.. and originated in carpenter,
shop in the center of the town. A strong
wind was blowing at the time, and the
result was that large part of the town
was destroyed. Seven hundred houses
and buildings were burned, and eight
thousand honseless persons, out Of popu-
lation of thirteen thousand, having lost
almost everything they possessed,
are now camping in the open air. The
loss is estimated at above fve hundred
thousand pounds, and many Of the work
ing classes are, as i usually the case, I'M
injured. Committees for assisting the
sufferers had been Immediately formed in
Sweden, and all having business connec-
lions with Gefie, or otherwise taking an
interest IN Sweden, had been invited TO
come forward with their aid toward the
same object.
