MAI. BUTTERFIEID's REPLY.



EDITOR FREEMAN In answer to your
letter of INQUIRY, as to whether | have
read the proof of extracts taken from an
article in the Lancaster Hcrald by one
Chas Langridge (ot the old 5'h Wis.
Vol }, and headed Hancock and the Sol
diers," | have read the article and can say
with candor that | am cognzant OF most
Of the facts set forth in said article, IS
WAS with my company and regiment at
the time.
Ia regard to that portion of the article
that refers 10 the drilling OF the regiment
on August 10, 1862, at Yorktown, because
some of the men called tor watet-some
thing that they had not had since early
morning, and this being about the mid.
die Of the atternoOn-it ia every word
true, as | was present at the time myself,
and there are many of the "Old 9Th boys"
who can testify to the same to-day. Lieut..
Col. Emery was in command Of the resl-
ment at the time, and Hancock ordered
Emery to drill the regiment to punish
the men that called for water. The
Colonel not drilling the men to Gen.
eral HancOck's satisfaction mot be-
ing severe enough with them | sup
pose), the General took command himself
and put US through the double quick for
some time and not very slow al that, and
when he had done drilling the regiment,
he gave over the command to Col. Emery,
saying, "there, G--d-- you, the man
that holloaed water has the satisfaction
of knowing that he has had the whole
regiment punished on his account"
La regard TO the letter OF Col. Il. s.
West, published in a late issue of the
Milwaukee Nep3, and relating to the
above statement, IL is all false, as hundreds
now living can testify. West left the reg
iment some time IN July, while we were
in emp at Hsrrison's Landing, and was
not with US Aug. 10, at Yorktown, nor at
any other time during that campaign, but
was IN Wisconsin recruiting, and was

HOW TO nmIT.

"DoCtor," said gentleman to his pastor
chow can best train up my boy in the way
he should go" "By going that way your
self" blandly responded the pastor M
sounder advice could be given. Sound iB-
struction is excellent Education in morals
and correct theories Of living are not by any
means to be neglected. But thuse families
where the quiet influence Of pure and noble
parental example is found, are most likely
to be the ones where childhood is most suc-
cessfully trained. In nothing Is the influ-
ence Of little things more important than
in the domestic circle. Parents naturally
and properly live free, unrestained life in
the presence of their own families. 1fthey
are cross, petulant, fault finding, 1t is idle to
expect that the children. who are hourly
witnesses Of this petty i'll temper, will be .
sunny OF disposition or unselfsh in life.
But if home life be filled with little deeds
Of kindness with gentle, loving helpfulness.
the "small, sweet courtesies" Of hourly in-
tercourse, they will descend from father 10
son, and from mother to daughter. Home
will borrow q radiance that is the best fore.
taste of the blessedness Of the heavenly
world and children that are reared in such an
atmosphere are likely to fulfill the expecta-
tions Of those who are interested in their
welfare.
Endeavor to always talk your hest before
your children. They hunger perpetusl!y
for new ideas. They learn with pleasure
from the lips ofparents what dream is drudg-
cry to learn from books, and even il they
have to be deprived Of many educational
advantages, they will grow intelligent III
they enjoy in childhood the privilege of list
ening daily to conversation ofintelligent peo-
pie. We sometimes see parents who are the
life of every company which they enter, dull,
silent and uninteresting at home among the
children. If they have not mental stores
enough for each, let them first use what they
have for their own households. A silent
home is dull system for young people,
place from which they will escape il they
can. How much useful information, on the
other hand, is often given in pleasant con.
versation; and what unconscious, excellent
mental training is lively, social argumentf
Cultivate to the utmost the graces Of conver-
sation.

A WORD 10 YOUNG MEN.

ofall the evils prevalent among young
men, we know of none more bl:ghting in ito
moral effects than TO speak lightly ofthe
virtue of woman. Nor is there anything in
which young men are 50 thoroughly mis-
taken, as to the low estimate they form Of
the integrity Of woman-not Of their own
mothers and sisters. As rule, no person
who surrenders to this debasing habit is TO be
trusted with any enterprise requiring integ-
rity of character. Plain words should be
spoken on this point, for the evil is gener-
al one, and deep rooted.
Ifyoung men are sometimes thrown into
the society of thoughtless or depraved wo-
men, they have no more right to measure
other woman by these, than they would
have TO estimate the character of honest and
respectable citizens by the department Of
crime in our police courts.
Let our young men remember that their
chief happiness depends in utter fsith in
woman. No worldly wisdom, no misan-
thropic philosophy can cover or weaken this
fundamental truth. II stands like a record
of God ITSELF for it is nothing less than this
and should put an everlasting seal upon
lips that are wont to speak disparagingly Of
the Perfect Woman.
