A Beautiful Father.

good boys to-day" saba school-teacher
to two little new scholars. co." re-
piled Tommy, eve haven't any
mother.n "Who takes care of you?h
she asked. Father does. We've got
a beautiful father; you ought to see
himn ''Who takes care of you when
he is at work." " He takes all the care
before he goes off in the morning and
after he comes back at night. He's a
house-painter, but there isn't any work
this winter, so he's doing laboring till
spring comes. He leaves us warm
breakfast when he goes off, and we
have bread and milk for dinner, and a
good supper when he comes home.
Then he tells us stories and plays on
the fife, and cuts out beautiful things
with his jack-knife. You ought to see
our father and our home; they are both
beautiful" Before long the teacher did
see that home and that father. The
room was poor attic, graced with cheap
pictures, autumn leaves, and other lit
tie trifes that cost nothing. The father,
who was preparing the evening meal
for his two motherless boys, was, at
first glance, only rough, begrimed la

His children had no idea they were

This man, whose grateful spirit lighted
up the otherwise dark life of his chill

was man of patience and submission
to Gods will, showing how to make
home happy under the most unfavor-

his boys to be high-minded citizens, to

than be burdens in society in the days
that are coming. He was, as his chill
dren had said, "a beautiful father in

Answers to Correspondents.

S. f. D., GRoTON.-The rate of
chaplain's pension is 800 month. His
pay while in the service was $11S a
month.
O. b., TRANSPORTATION will be
published only 1000 copies of the His
tory of the Eighth Regiment, Vermont
Volunteers. Some think this number
will not supply the demand for it. You
had better send your order for it soon.
G.. w. S., STowE-Congress has not
passed the bill restoring the arrears act.
The committee will report bill allow
ing arrears to be paid on all applications
filed in the pension office prior to the
passage of the law. 1t is likely to be
several weeks before the bill will be-
come law. You ought to make your
application at once and be in season for
the arrears if the law is enacted.
w. A. b., WARREN.-The rate of
pension recently granted you appears
too low for your disability. Perhaps
you ought to take an appeal to the
secretary of the interior for a higher
rating If you succeed in the appeal
you will be entitled to arrears on the
increase, but if you wait six months and
apply for an increase of pension you
will not be entitled to arrears if success
full. You can take an appeal at any
time within year from the date of
your pension certificate.

COnfederates on the March.

T. j. Murray, writing for the Wash
ington Republican, says: "The con-
federates undoubtedly suffered far
greater vicissitudes than the Union
armies, for apart from those hardships
incident to every army in the field,
they were poorly clothed and fed, which
was not the case with their opponents,
as rule. We will suppose command
is ordered to reach an indicated point
within a given time, either to surprise
an enemy or to hold threatened and
important position. And in this l am
writing from my recollection of eX-
periences in the Seventeenth Virginia
Regiment of Pickett's division of con-
federates. The men are drawn up,
and those who have knapsacks are
ordered to pile them. Then the COM
pany officers see to- it that no man
carries more than single blanket.
Two extra packages of cartridges are
served out, making, with those in the
heavy weight in itself when the calibre
of the rifles was fifty-eight, as was
usually the case. Next, three days ra-
tons of bareback and bacon are issued,
to last four or five days, or until more
can be procured. The line of march
is taken up and the quickstep ordered
from the first. Now it must be re-
membered that soldier, with his rifle,
ammunition, blanket, provisions, etc. :,
is weighted down by about fifty pounds
or over, and this dead weight, instead
of being distributed over the body,
bears chiefly upon the shoulders.
Those who have never been there gen.
orally suppose that the actual contact
of battle is the hardest and most trying
to the nerves and pluck in the phases
of soldiers life. This is a fallacy.
Many time have 1 heard my comrades
express satisfaction, after long and
distressing march, at having got at last
within striking distance of the foe.
do not believe that the man lives, or
has lived, who could honestly say that
he never felt fear while on the eve of
battle, or rather when first going under
fire. But forced march is terror to
the best of troops, no matter how well
they may have been disciplined. What
do the readers of this paper suppose
that forced march means? 1t means
torture of mind and torture of body; it
means a dull aching of every joint and
bone and marrow of the bones; it
means not simply utter WEAKNESS and
pain, but almost complete prostration
of the physical powers; it means that
one falls asleep for minute while me-
chancally plodding along and to awake
with start while staggering to a fall
it means, when the ten minutes rest
comes at every two miles, to sink down
in ones tracks like an empty bag and
to be asleep before you touch the
ground. When the ten minutes rest
expires and the command Fall in.' is
given, one awakes and gets up from
mere force of habit, and resumes the
grinding task sitter and sorer, if pos
sible, than before"

After that all went well in Company

was harmless, and did not interfere
with the carrying out of every require

indeed, that has no turn, and Jere's
turn came at last. One day Company

field of Bull Run, trying to resist

gions, which Fitz John Porter had
failed to keep otherwise employed, and
bullets were flying about like hail
stones. The little lieutenant was fitting
from right to left of the company, di-
recting the fire of his men and urging
them up to their bloody work, when
his eyes fell upon Jere, standing few
PAGES to the rear, but pegging away as
fast as he could load and discharge his
piece. Thinking it case requiring his

Stand right up there in front, Jere,

enough to be heard by all who were
near him: " On drill and dress parade

front rank is good enough for poor Jere
