AN INCIDENT OF THE
PRESENT WAR

On the borders of the camp at New
Orleans. where regiment of the
United States regulars were stationed.
on dark night in May, sentry was
pacing to and fro on his monoutonous
beat as he kept his lonely vigil: his
mind was goinL over the events of the
past few days and reaching forward to
grasp the future. His heart was full
OF sadness not unmingled with bitter
ness. They had only recently arrived
from a far western post, and all along
the hurried journey, at nearly every
stopping place, they had been greeted
by friends and relatives of the soldiers
with hearty hand clasps, hurried good
byes, and many tokens of loving re-
gard He alone seemed to have no
one to greet him. Since their
arrival in camp, many had been
the cheerful letters received
from home, but no letters came for
Philip. as we will call him. As far as
he knew he had no relatives in the
world. He had memory, only dim
memory, of mother and a baby
brother. His father had died when he
was very small. and his mother had
been unable TO support herself and
children. and Philip had been placed
in one of our institutions till she could
accumulate enough to take hil away.
Bat that time never came, and he was
given home with farmer. but the
farmer and his wife had both died and
Philip had drifted about the worl1
alone. His memory of his childhood
was so dim and vague he often won
dered if it was memory or imagi-
nation, aud the soldier boy
vas sad and hungry for human
sympathy as he brooded over the past
As he left the camp that evening, a
whisper had passed around that on the
morrow they were to break camp and
be ordered forward, it was supposed to
go to Cuba, and his comrades were
writing last letters home and giving
each other tender condolences, for we'll
they knew not all would return. Philip
had no letter TO write. and his heart
grew heavy as he thought if he should
fall on Cuban soil. or his body lie at
the bottom OF the sea, there was none
shed a tear, none to pray for his safe
return. Do you blame the lonely sen
try If the tears dropped upon his paths
When the weary night was over and
he returned to camp he was greeted
with "A letter for you, Philip" For
me! There must be some mistake
aud he turned away; but it was put
into his hand, and as he saw his name
On the back he hastily tore it open
