Some years ago there lived in the western
part OF Pennsylvania an old circuit preacher
known as Father West. His good humor
and great kindheartedness had made him
special favorite with the young people of
his district. and his services in tying the
knot were in request. On one occasion, so
the story goes in Youths Companion, upon
his arrival at certain town after a long
journey. he found several couples awaiting
his blessing. The poor old man was tired
and wished TO make the ceremony as short
as possible, so he said, with the prOmptness
for which lie was noted. stand up and jine

the ceremony, rye can go now; ye're man

Two of the couples did not at once avail
themselves of this permission. and pres

to ''line" had confused them, and they had

necessary to employ an assistant to examine
the records of the Assessors Office and

The committee decided that the board
has no power in the matter, and that the

"N0w, this is a true story" said a gentle
man whose Office is door or two off upper
Broadway, land the question is, was it fa.e,

dence, or-but I'll tell you the incident
when the war broke out my brother and
a classmate of his, to whom he was much
attached, both enlisted at the same time and
departed for the South, leaving behind in
the little town in WesternNew York their
young wives, to whom they had been
married but a short time. My brother
chum, whom we may call Ned Brown for
convenience. had. l think. been a husband
but six weeks when he left for the front.
Brother Jack was soon after transferred 10
the aGjutant-generaPs DEPARTMENT, so saw
little Of active service, and Ned was in the
division of the army which remained in the
vicinity Of Washington for about year.
Then came the Battle of the Wilderness,
and with it the startling intelligence to Jack
that Ned had been mortally wounded and
had sent for him. He made all haste to the
side of his friend, who soon alter his arrival
died in his arms.
"As was usual after great battles, the
dead were buried, many together, in large
tren hes. and my brother was much trou-
bled over the probability of there being no
means of locating or identifying the BODY
to send for it. There had been a little son
born TO the young soldier in that far-away
village by the lake, and be felt that the
child, who had never looked upon his faith
er's face, would one day want to know at
least where his body lay.
The men IN charge assured Jack that the
body should be placed at the head OF the
trench, and IL any mark could he left upon
It il would be easily found. For some time
my brother wondered what be could do.
Then an idea struck MINI He found bot
tie, and placing inside of it paper upon
which was written the name and regiment
OF his friend tied 1t about tie neck of the
corpse.
''Some time afterward wheni friends OF
the dead soldier came for the body other
trenches had been dug near the first and ii
was impossible to Identify the spot, though
the grlef-stricked widow could scarcely be
prevailed upon TO give up the search.

had so longed to see. Years ago when the

this message to the soldiers widow: a
