SPECIAL PROVIDENCE STORIES.

Incidents of the Civil War VerginE on
the Miraculous.
We were discussing war and interesting
coincidents, when Colonel Swain OF CHI
cago, who saw service all through the civil
war, repeated a story which General Black
had told him only the week before.
Some time ago General Black and his wife
were taking a trip on the upper Mississippi.
After being out a few days it was noticed
that the some group of people were con-
stantly finding themselves together; and in
seeking the reason for their unusual con-
geniality 1t tralspired that the men OF the
party were all old army men. Whereupon
the swapping Of stories became the order
OF the day. One evening an old veteran
started a discussion as to whether there was
, such a thing as special providence.
This Is not the first time l have raised
this question:" said he, after the contro-
versy was In full swing. THE last time was
in "a, when we boys were bivouacked be-
fore Atlanta. 1t was my night for sentinel
duty and right in the midst of the debate
l was obliged to leave and 60 to my post.
1t was a frightfully dark night, the enemy
was near, the country full OF pitfalls and l
knew that my life was in momentary peril.
OF course, l had faced Just as great risks
many times before. but somehow on this
particular night l began to dwell upon the
terrors which surrounded me until l was in
a state OF nervous collapse. Then my mind
went back to our discussion upon special
providence and to calm my fears | began
singing Jesus, Lover of My Soul very much
upon the principle Of a boy who whistles in
going through the woods. I sang the hymn
through to the end and by the time / had
finished / was perfectly calm and fearless.
I somehow felt that a special protection was
round and about me and In looking back to
that night ! always have exactly the same
feeling
One OF the listeners had seemed to take an
extraordinary interest in the recital. At the
end, he asked, did you say that happened
before Atlanta"
yes.
"In the fall Of '64?"
eyes
well. my friend, I was in the confederate
army stationed at Atlanta. / was reconnoit-
ering one evening when l CHANGED to pass
near a sentinel OF the northern army at his
post. l thought that the best thing I could
do for my country was to pop him over and
raised my gun to my shoulder. took careful
aim. when Just at that moment he broke
forth singing Jesus, Lover Of My SOUL !
dropped my gun instantly. saying to myself,
No! ! can't kill that mar were he ten
times my enemy"
The two old veterans instinctively clasped

cover. So. poor Brown not only lost his
sheep and took a drubbing. but also lost
his case.
About this tim he began to take an
active interest in the anti-slavery question
and one day found him again at the office
of the justice Of the peace. this time to
talk over the Righteousness of renouncing
his peculiar tenet Of n-resistance-
wherein he received much encouragement
from the doughty justice.
HE soon after, with his family, migrated
TO Kansas and all the world knows how
flourished his non-resistance principles

no greater tension.
Suddenly the sunset gun doomed out from
the "Bellerophon" and her royal yards
swung to a perpendicular.
Away there, you men," came through
the speaking trumpet like a sharp clap OF
thunder.
Down with the Sails.
No one now paid any more attention to
the British ship; the men bent every energy
to the task before them; the topmasts went
up far enough to slip out the underpinuing;
then down. slowly but surely, came masts
and yards at the same time. This was a
very perilous undertaking. The immense
pieces Of timber. eight inches through at
the butt, are held in their place by stout
iron bands, strong enough to bind the big
sticks while perfectly perpendicular. but
powerless had the enormous piles tilted to
one side. Each was. however. guided by
strong and steady arms and down they came
with the yards still hanging alongside.
A single misstep, a tilt Of the ship. a part
Eng OF a strand and the ponderous mass
might have plunged through the ships bot
tom.
In less time than I have taken to tell OF
the feat the old ship was stripped. her
etumpy looking lower masts standing alone
and making her look like a shapely wreck.
We now looked for the first time over
to the Englishman. We were amazed. His
yards were not yet on deck, although his
seamen were working Tor dear life. We
could rot help setting up a cheer.
whats your hurry. Dewey" called
Goldsborough, quizzlcally. The ponderous
old admiral had been as eager as the rest
OF us to give the "lime-juicer" a lesson
IN ship 4naneuvering. but he couldn't help
playfully twitting our executive on this
willful waste Of good powder.
"No hurry, sir; no hurry at all" nswer
Dewey, with a toss of the head; lust our
usual practice drill"
We stayed in the Straits of Gibraltar a week
or two after this but we never heard an
other word from BILLY Rufhans" about a
their famed seamanship.
remember how strongly Dewey used TO
impress every man OF US aboard ship. He
was brim full OF life. energy and appre-
ciative wisdom. In person he was hardly Of
average size, he had coal black hair and
eyes, a long, thick mustache, an olive COM
plexion, with an aquiline nose that gave him
something Of an Hebraic cast Of countenance.
He was then In the prime OF life, being
about 80 years Of age. well formed, with a
courtly. insinuating air; soft and almost
caressing in speech, except when aroused to
anger. when his sharp, quick tones would
go through an ague-stricken victim.
Dewey was popular with the men much
more SO than with his associate officers.
When things went wrong, when some mis-
hap occurred, arising from neglect or mat
t~ention, the offender would be treated to a
crescendo, starting with calm sarcasm and
rising into a storm Of reproach, graded ac-
cording TO the enormity Of the offense.
u The men all took this in good part. Dewey

took pride in their work and the Colorado

moneytaker, doubtfully.
"Well,' replied Master Tom, "this Is her

A fashionable youth, an old admirer of

rose up and exclaimed, II have no objection
