"The Fifty-Fourth Virginia is at the Ferry"
From the Youths Companion.
The cry Of "On to Richmond" awakened
no enthusiasm in the hearts of the third
Ohio one day when they found themselves
en- route as prisoners of war for that famous
capital. Nor were they enthusiastic when
they halted for the night and prepared to
sink supperless into dreamland.
The ffty-fourth Virginia regiment was
encamped near by, and some of the men
came down to have look at the "Yanks."
Had your coffee?" asked one Of blue
coat stretched disconsolately on the bank.
mot sup, answered the other.
Amt you had any rations tonight"
Only crumb or two from the bottoms
Of our haversacks."
This was told to the boys of the 54tb, and
old Virginia hospitality showed itself at
once. The men soon made their appear
ance with coffee kettles, corn bread and
bacon, the best they had. In few min.
utes the coffee was steaming, the bacon
cooked, the prisoners and captors sat down
together around the camp fire, like kins-
men true and brothers tried" The hungry,
grateful Yankees ate with relish such as
no one can appreciate unless he has been in
like situation.
NO WONDER Cncro was warm spot IN eV-
cry heart Of the Sd Ohio ever afterward for
the generous SAITH.
A fresh slide in the magic lantern gives
another Of these shifting war pictures. In
the distance is Mission Ridge, which has
just been stormed. That long line of pris.
oners passing over the pontoon bridge and
up the stony mountain road is the 54th Vir-
ginia. A soldier on duty at Keily's Ferry
asked inditferently of one of the prisoners
as the regiment passed.
"What regiment is this?"
"The 54th Virginia." was the reply.
In an instant the loungers sprang to their
feet and rushed to camp. 1.-THE 54th Vir-
ginia is at tie ferry" they shouted, US they
ran in and ort among the tents of the Sd
Ohio.
The Onio boys were quick in motion.
Boxes from home and ali reserve stores
were speedily ransacked. Coffee and
sugar, beef and canned peaches and the
best they had Of everything were freely
brought forth. They remembered CRATE
fully their debt of honor, and paid
it nobly. 1t was the same old scene over,
with the shading reversed. For one night
at least both Confederates and Yanks en-
joyed again the sweet grace Of hospitality
that could bring smile even to the grim
vissage Of war.

websterss Love for the Old Home.

Among the various "reminiscences of Dom
lei Webster, suggested by the centenary
Of his birth, Jan. 18, is the following e1.
tract from Daniel Webster's speech at Sar-
atoga the following reference to the home
of his infancy, which has been pronounced
as beautiful a'specimen of language as has
been written in the English tongue:
II love to dwell on the tender recollec-
tons: the kindred ties. the early affections
and the touching narratives and incidents
which mingle with all know of this prim-
tive family abode. weep to think that
none of those who inhabited it are now
among the living; and if ever lam ashamed
of it, or if I ever fail in affecionate vener-
alton for him who reared it, and defended
it against savage violence and destruction,
cherished all tie domestic virtues beneath
its roof, and through the fire aud blood Of q
seven years revolutionary war, shrunk from
no danger, no toll, no sacrifice, to serve his
country. and to raise children to condition
better than his own. may nv name and the
name of my posterity be blotted forever
from the memory OF mankindp
