What They Wanted.

A soldier in the war between north
and sonth-says that he was one day
l.1ng in trench. wet, hungry. home
sick. The misery of the situation came
over him. and he whispered to the next
man. who, like himself, was from Mas
sachusetts; "oh. if ! could get Whit
from the Joppa clam shantiesl" But
the other man had not come from New
buryport, with its fishing "-lsppa." He
was from Ftchburg, where he had
worked on the railroad. and now he
spoke with scorn: ~ don't want none

down the Yazoo river we were frequent

YES, I know it, Frank replied.
You do not need to go. Stay here, and
if anything happens to me join the 9TH

If you can die up there I sut'n'y can die

Gently passed by. Not far away were
the bodies of two negroes. who had evil
IDENTITY been brought there and bru-
tally murdered. We knew from their
underclothing, bearing Uncle Sans
mark, that they were union soldiers.
That kindled anew Franks hatred, and
he vowed with clenched fists that if ever
he got a chance at young massa' he
would treat him after the same man

"One day Frank Lawson came to me
