How A CONFEDERATE SURGEON SAVED
HAYEs's ARM.-At the battles OF Antietam
and South Mountain colonel was wound
ed-his arm fearfully shattered-and he was
borne from the field by his. brothers and
private soldier. They carried him across
the. country a long and toilsome distance,
every step Of which was torture to the SUI
ferer, to the house of Maryland Union
farmer. Then came the ubiquitous Yankee
surgeon with his glittering knives and
cruel saws, ',and made hasty pre- para
tions, to amputate the: aiIing men,
ber. The farmer vehemently protested,
declaring that the man would T.. die
if the arm wos cut off. The surgeon in
sisted that the patient would die if the arm
was not taken off, and the ColonePs brothers
coincided with the surgeon. But the deter
mined old farmer dispatched his son on his
fleetest horse across the fields to the OTHER
side of the mountain after his friend and
neighbor, country physician, and rank
REBEL: Whent the rustic Esculaptus arrived
there ensued a long contention with the
Yankee newer Of bones over the sufferer,
but the result was that the arm was saved,
and after some weeks Of careful nursing
the Colonel galloped off to join his regi-
ment, comparatively sound man. He sub
sequently became Governor OF Ohio, and
now fills the presidential chair.-Neao York

The case seemed lost one; and when the

kind of stuff he was made OF. The presence
OF the ore he worships changes his train OF
thought. He feels that he must mnke a
show OF talent, and commencing his arsu-
ment, rises, to the highest flights OF. eio-
quence. In word, he succeeded IN show
ing that the criminal is an upright VIZ
tllous. and much abused man, pud OBTAINS
his acquittal. In The evening thedaWyer,
with triumphant air, calls at the house OF
This future father-inllaw expecting that his
success will ensure himia warm reception;
To his surprise he finds the young girl colo

asks what this sort Of reception means.
