The Commander. Consideration For .
Wounded Officer of the Enemy.
The following anCcdotc is related by
General Iiurac" Porter in his Cam
paigning With Grant" in The Century:
While riding about the field General
Grant stopped at Il house and expressed
a desire to prrpar" ON dispatches. A
number of wounded Were lying upon
the porch and in the rooms. They had
made their way there in accordance
with the usual custom of wounded men
to seek Il house. IT seems to be a natural
instinct, us Il house conveys the idea Of
shelter and vi home. | walked with the
general into IL back room to see whether
there was Il dry spot which he might
take possession Of for II short time to
write messages and look ovcr the maps.
AS we entered there was seen sitting
in the only chair II Confederate licutcn-
ant of infantry who had been shot in
tn. left cheek, tn" ball passing through
his mOuth and coming out near tho
right cal. A mass of COagulatcd blood
covered his face and neck, and he pre-
scntcd Il shocking appearance. He arose
the moment We entered, pushed his
chair forward toward the general and
said, with ii bow and IL smile, Here,
take my chair, sir General Grant
looked al HIM and replied: All, you
need that chair much more than |.
Keep your seat. | see You are badly
hurt Tn" officer answered good ma
tur"'ly: IF you folks let me go back
to our lines, I think l ought to be able
to get II leave to go home and see my
girl. But | reckon she wouldn't know
me now. The general said, Il will see
that one of our surgeons does all in his
power for yun,' and then stepped out
of the room. He told one of the surgeons
who was dressing the wounds Of our
men to do what he could for the Con-
fcdcratc. W. did not hear what became
of him aftrrwari. He probably never
knew that he had been talking to the
general i'll chief Of the Yankee armies.

THE CAPE OF STORMS.

4We may steer our boats by the compass.
o. may follow The northern star;
We may carry chart on shipboard
As we sail DER the seas afar,
But, whether by star or by compass
We may guide our boats on our way,
The grim Cape OF Storms is before US,
And wen see It ahead some day.
How the PROV may point is no matter,
Nor of what the cargo may be,
If we sail on the northern ocean
Or away ON the southern sea;
II matters not what is the pilot.
To what guidance our course conforms;
No vessel sails DER the sea oflife
But must pass the Cape of Storms.
Sometimes we can first sight the head
land
On the distant horizons brlm;
We enter the dangerous waters
With cur vessels all taut and trim;
But often the cape in its grmness
VIII before us suddenly rise,
Because Of the clouds that have hid it
Or the binding sun in our eyes.
Our souls will be caught in the waters
That are hurled gainst the Storm Capes
face:
Our pleasures and joys. our hopes and
fear,
VIII join in the maddening race,
Our prayers, desires, our pen!tent griefs,
Cui iOiiss ihS9 ~IiO pdS7lO Ildle PAIN
Be dashed 10 spray on the stormy cape
And fly back in our face like rain.
But there's always hope for the sailor.
There is over a passage through;
No soul goes down at the Cape Of Storms
II the life and the heart be true,
II in purpose the soul should be stead
fast,
II faithful in mind and in will.
The boat will slide 10 the other side,
Where the ocean of life Is Sill.
