The FanIts OF Man by a Lady. !
A thousand faults In man we ind,
Merit In him we seldom meet;
Man is inconstsnt snd unkind,
Man is false and indiscreet.
Man is capricious, Jealous, free,
Van, insincere and tfifling ZOO;
Yet still the women al agree,
For want OF bettar-he must do.

"For o month I was steadily supply

with no serious difficulty. But one
afternoon in July my good luck de-
serted me. I was carrying over two
boxes of officers swords, and was in
the middle of the river when picket
boat ran up to me. I at once knew
that danger was ahead, and jumping
on the gunwales of the boat I tried to
sink it. But the skiff was too heavy
and would not dip. The officer in
charge of the picket-boat arrested me,
and the skiff man also, and took us,
with the two boxes, to q gunboat
near by.
"There the boxes were opened, and
as soon as the nature of their contents
was disclosed I was at once carried to

1T was such sudden thing the way
in which was first made aware of the
seriousness of my position. It was
one afternoon late in July, 1862, while
l was in Federal prison in Memphis.
Tenn. that friend of mine, q Miss
Gibson, who had been to call on me,
whispered, Lieutenant, you are under
sentence of death and are to be shot
at an early day. Take my advice
and get away from here before they
put the bracelets on your wrists and
shackles on your ankles, for then You
will be totally disabled and can do
nothing
@Mr. Lincoln did approve the SEN
tence of death, but I am still here,
while he and Gen. Sherman have gone
to join Lee and jackson and other
good soldiers: It is true, as stated BY
Gen. Sherman in his letter. that the
mercenary spirit of his people enabled
us to buy ANYTHING we wanted for gold
or cotton. When Sherman first took
possession of Memphis he issued an
order declaring gold. medicines and
salt contrabands, and as such pro-
hibited their sale to the people. But

Our Sorrows.

They are the voices of scntinels which
the Lord has placed within us, warning
us OF danger. They tell us that we have
wandered away from the paths of the
Divine order which lead to life and that
we are going down to death. They tell
us that we have gone astray. 1t is true
that we are much slower in needing
them than we are the warnings against
physical danger. We often regard them
as misfortunes which come upon us by
no fault of our own. We accuse the
Lord and our fellow-mcn of causing
them. But still the tendency of sorrow
is to awaken the thought that there is
danger. This is the first use it serves.
1t calls to us with sharp and painful
voice to awake and flee from DANGER

was charged for at the rate of 81 per

The most notable event of the years
of prison life at Libby was the escape

construct raft and trust to reaching
the Union navy. A tunnel fifty
feet in length was dug by
lifting out fireplace, reaching the
kitchen, and removing floor in the
hospital. Even the piles supporting
the cellar had to be cut through. This
tunnel was SO narrow that the men
