PINE NOT"
The Answer of q Confederate Maiden
to Her Soldier Lover.


After two days of herd riding and
lodging of Yankee cavalry, Captain
Frank Barrett was very near his ideal
of Paradise. That is to say, he was in
the parlor of Colonel Selton's mansion,
kneeling beside q rocking chair in
which was seated fair Mistress Marie
| Selton. A solitary tallow-dip was the
only witness of the scene.
He opened his lips to tell her the
love that had impelled him to take
that foolhardy ride, when the door was
dung hastily open. His servant rushed
in crying, ode Yankees is comm !
Run, Mahs Frank! Fo' Gawd's sake !

With q fierce oath, Captain Frank
sprang to his feet. Pausing, he stoop-
| ed suddenly and kissed Marie, then,
without a word dashed through the
hall, leaped on his horse and rode for
his life.
A squad of Yankees turned the COR
ner Of the house in time to witness his
flight, and, firing a volley after him,
they gave chase. AS the bullets hum
med around him, the captain only bent
a little lower in the saddle and urged
his horse to greater speed. Closely
pursued at first, he finally distanced
his pursuers and decided to cut across
the country and join his regiment.

fact that he was glad to be with his

uncertain how his suit had prospered.

when he stole that kiss, and after

,OC0 gallons of the worst sort of ardent
epirits were daily made and sold to the
Confederate army. The field was UNI
promising enough, but the chaplains
went to work, secured a loan from the
British and Foreign Bible Society OF
$4,000 worth OF Bibles and began an
earnest crusade. At first the work
seemed to drag, but In the summer OF
1863, after the fall of Yicksburg and
the great defeat at Gettysburg, tie re-
vival took @ mighty start, and moved
on from that time without interrupt
tion. Incredible difficulties attended
the work, and religious services were
sometimes held amid strange surround
ings.
One chaplain, writing in his diary at
the time the battle of Charlottesville
was beginning, said sin the midst
OF all these changes and fighting, we

congregation was large, serious and at
tentive. While passing along the road
that night during the maneuvers that
proceeded the battle, l heard singing
and prayer. 1t was a company OF

in the camps and along the road that
night, but evenin the trenches along
the edge of battle. A soldier, writing
from fredericksburg, said that n o.
the most interesting meetings he eve
attended was in the trenches at tina
place. 1t began with some of the bat
tallion singing. One by one the differ
ent regiments collected round ant
joined in. Soon it was turned int
conversions. As the fact becam,
daily more apparent that the cause
was lost, the enthusiasm increased an,
q religious fervor seemed to posses
the men. The meetings went On con
stantly, singing and praying wer
heard in all parts of the Confederat
camps. An "army church " was form
ed with a constitution and articles O
faith SO broad as to admit believers O

enthusiasm continued, and the result
of the great army %revivals we're see

tional exercise was, in their camp, az
regular as the drill. Every evening,
when the circumstances would permit,
the different companies assembled
around their camptires, sang their
hymns, and sang them we'll, prayed
long and loudly, and seemed to enjoy
their religion, even under the most
adverse conditions, just as heartily as
