A Girls Story ofLineoIn.

thought l would send you an anecdote
concerning President Lincoln that have
never seen printed. Years ago. when my
papa was a little boy, and Abraham Lin
coin was poor young man practicing law
in Woodford County, during court week in
Metamora, grandpa brought him home to
supper. 1t was a cold, stormy Monday
night, and grandma hurried around getting
supper, and thought she would have some
thing extra, SO she opened jar of peaches.
When they sat down to eat grandma
dished the peaches out three to a person.
1t seemed to take Abraham Lincoln a long
time to finish a peach, and he did not
finish 1T either. So as soon as he had
finished his supper and gone into another
room grandma went to his dish to see why
it was he hadn't eaten, and there she
found she had given him the little muslin
sack with the peach kernels and spices in
it instead Of a peach. Grandma hurried
INTO the other room to apologize to Mr..
Lincoln, and he said to her: THAT is all
right, Mrs. Perry; my mother used the
same thing, and it was SO good that |
wanted to get all the Juice out OF it,

THE NHVAh MlhITIH.
Capt. Bartlett, Commanding the Auxiliary
Naval Force, Gives 1t High Praise.

Capt. John II. Bartlett, who was in
command of the United States Auxiliary
Naval force during the war, has submit
ted report showing how that force was
organized with expedition and thorough
ness, in spite of the short period of time
available, for the excellent service it rem
dered.
After speaking of the remarkable prompt
ness with which the battalions from New
York and massachusetts, responded to the
call, he says
For the first time in the history of the
Navy, professional men, business men,
and men OF leisure, and of the highest
education, were brought into the lower
ratings, and from the reports which have
come incidentally to my notice il appears
that they served with great intelligence e
and enthusiasm, and after short ex-
perience made good men -of-wars-men, al
though they had had little or no training
as seagoing sailors and exhibited some of
the lack OF knowledge of the care of prop
erty and themselves that is common to
all volunteers"
Capt. Bartlett says these militiamen
were called upon to perform duties that
should never have been imposed upon
them willingly, such as auementing the
crews of blue Jackets aboard regular
naval vessels. This should never happen
again, he says, and, therefore, he recon-
mends the creation of a system of naval
reserves, based upon some part of the
militia, where the men have shown them
selves expert on Tevenue-marine service
and the life-saving service. He submits
the draft of a bill to provide for a reserve
on these lines.

One thinks in the exquisite lights and
spaces of church like this to surely
worship in the beauty of holiness, and yet
every stone signs with the weariness OF

easy absolution and have continued to
sin; then as we look up to the light from

was the one vanity of some little citi
zeness to the rubies that ioyed the beauty
of the baron's daughter.
These are offerings from the penitent

the indolent, the SHINING, TO win for them
selves success in love or war health

desires. The worlds romances may he

trinkets makes one realize the necessity
for Luther, and sympathize with our Puri-
tan forefathera.

was the time to catch the colt: but this
was easier said than done, for upon going
towards it found that it was about as
wild as a young buffalo. Not discouraged,
however, l started it, together with the
mules, in the direction of the barn, and
opened door leading into long shed
connected with the barn This plan sue
ceeded admirably, for they all ran into the
shed without the least trouble. But the
greatest difficulty was to put the halter
on the colt and get on his back; however,
| at length succeeded, and, mounting it,
started toward James River
The enemy had by this time succeeded
in driving the Federals. from their first
position, and were now between them and
me. Tuning off from the main road,
struck out into the woods and rode as fast
as possible. The woods were open and
clear. so that l could see long way
ahead. On l went until / came near a
little thicket so dense that l could not
see anything beyond its border.
Not daring to go into any place which
looked suspicious, | turned tn go around
it, when my ear caught the click, click OF
a dozen rifles, and a shower OF mimic balls
came round me thick as hailstones, but
not one of them pierced even my clothing
My colt took fright at this unexpected
salute, and plunged into the woods in an
other direction with the speed OF light

The first thing that caused me to dis
cover this fact was one of the prisoners

direction, upon seeing which one of the
rebel guards sprang forward and struck
the prisoner with the butt of his musket.
This little demonstration revealed to me
at once my position, and turning fed in
the direction indicated by the prisoner,

them to cast lots to see who should ride

After they had drawn the lots to settle
this matter, and the poor Captain was
doomed TO foot it the first part OF the jour-
ney. and saw that he looked rather ma
iiciously at me, as much as to say that I
had assisted fate i'm deciding that he
should walk instead of ride, the thought
struck me that there would probably be
some trouble when il came his turn to
ride. So ! delivered the following brief
lecture, which was especially intended for
his ear:
Gentlemen, you are aware that by
giving you my horse | am running the
risk OF mourning Maj. Ms displeasure,
and am exposing mybelf to the very dan
ger from which | am assisting you to es-
cape. Now, in return, make one request
Of yOu-that is, that you all do as you
have agreed to; don't play false one with
the other. Those who ride are not to go
faster than the others can walk, and you
are to ride equal distances as near as you
arranged among yourselves.
"The horse you are to have taken care
Of when you arrive at your destination. |
trust these matters to your honor, but if
honor should forget to assert its rights,
the case will be reported at Headquar-
ters."
There were several others in the same
hospital, but some were unconscious of
the state of affairs around them: others
were conscious, but unable to help them
selves in the least. One OF the noble
hearted nurses refused to leave those
helpless men, whom he had taken care OF
so long, and was taken prisoner i mark
ed that noble boys countenance, dress,
and general appearance, and by making
inquiry afterwards | found out that his
name was j. Robbins, of the I'd Mich. ;,
and after he had undergone the hard
ships of imprisonment and had been ex-
changed, | had the honor OF meeting and
congratulating him. felt that it was a
greater honor than to converse with many
of our Major Generals.
