other man. | have never been able TO
learn why this was. My being on both
sides of the late contest was rather re-

citizens. among whom / had so long
lived. had no use for me, and being de-
termined 10 serve my country IN one

offered him my time and talents; Like
a sensible man he accepted the offer and
1 took the "iron-clad and went in.
The iron-clad" is really nothing
Grant well knew that though my heart
was in the rebellion, my body was not;
and he knew that could take the iron
clad with a mental reservation. This
1 did. and served him until be got tired
of me. do not know why Il was, but J
was turned out Of office, and this eE-
cited the sympathy of the Ger
mans. They knew my love of

cial use. / would not have been found on

thoughts have gathered around my life.
Still the memory of that little deed lights
the beacon of faith when similar doubts
threaten to gain the mastery, Little by
little has the balm of peace and the
spirit of comfort fallen upon my lonely
life, and the sweetness of hope and resig-
nation have gathered together the little
tendrils that withstood the storm, and
after little they may blossom into a
happy fruition. / can even now look
calmly back upon that sorrowful scene,
when, like a fair young plant, i stood
robbed of all my natural life and bowed
NV head in silence over the last ofmany
graves that covered hopes, perhaps
brighter than come to many. On that
night-so long ago-when the bright 0c-
tober moon shone her soft, mellow light,
like a plying friend, over all soothing,
sorrowful hearts, and touching less mind
ful ones with thought of that beyond
even now, as she hangs her silver lamp
in the heavens, lighted by angels hands,
| have learned lesson from il, all dearly
bought, it is true, but precious as the con-
quest of king, for It has brought me
everlasting peace.
