FOUND AMONG The PRIVATES.
Chapter vi.
by J. l.. STRAIN.

Speaking of the march of the
Southern army wish to quote what
Baltimore correspondent writing
to the London Index in 1862. said
of it in connection with other things.
"Before 1 close, I must tell you of
the beautiful humility and heroic
piety which seemed to pervade
the hearts of all the Confederates I
saw. / have never seen a strong
religious sentiment so generally pre-
valent as l find is among them. Of
twenty men with whom l conversed
one afternoon, seventeen were pro-
fessers of religion and the eighteenth
said he was man of prayer and
looked to God as his protector. A
plain unlettered Georgia boy said:
'.In all my intercourse with these
Yankees have never heard them
allude once to what God can do. They
talk about what twenty millions of
men can do, and what hundreds Of
millions of money can do, and what
their powerful navy can do, but they
leave God out of the calculation al
together; but, sir, the Lord is our
trust and he will be our defence"
. The Rev. Bartlett was with me
during part of my tour. He was
asked on one occasion to lead in
prayer, in barn filled with wounded
near Sharpsburg. After season of
most solemn and effecting devotion,
young man called the reverend
gentleman to his side and said: 81
am dying sir, but I am not afraid to
die, for | hope to 60 to heaven. Nor
am I sorry that l have been slain in
battle, for I would willingly sacrifice
a dozen lives, if l had them, for such
a cause as we are fighting for"
Time and again l heard the one
hundred and twenty-fourth Psalm
quoted:
Had: d:not the Lord been on our side,
May Israel now say;
Had not the Lord been on our side,
When men rose us to slay;" etc.
THE Confederate soldiers are not
given to vaunting themselves; there
is nothing of the spirit of bravado
about them, and 80 far from mani
testing terocious disposition, they
very frankly confess they are tired
of war, but at the same time they are
animated by a determined resolution
that God helping them they will
never be subjugated." When one Of
them was asked if he did not fear
that,the prodigious armies now or
ganizing against them would utterly
overwheln them, he replied that
"with God above and General Lee
at their head they feared. nothing
that man could do. History. sir
furnishes no legends, more touching
and glorious than are exhibited il
the sacrifices and endurance of tn,
Southern people. Such people meri
the admiration of the world, and de
serve to achieve their independence.

CHILDISH IDEAS OF VACCINATION
Some Queer Thoughts That Arise In
Juvenile Minds.

the confusion OF ideas produced in the
minds of children by unfamiliar words

lecture upon infant baptism, but he
was disappointed. Oh, came the
reply. every one ought to be vacci-
mated. it keeps you from being ill.,
We We're reminded of the above con-
versation by a paragraph in a proviG-
cial contemporary which, whether the
incident be real or imaginary, tends
to show that the confusion of thought
involved was not singular in the case
already quoted. Two small boys
were standing by slippery pavement
in one of the inland towns during the
recent frost. One of them ventured tC

courageous he invited his fellow &c

One of the oldest of the recent fads

the Chinese letter belt. says the Pitts

on the idea and ordered whole belt

colored satin or velvet. This lover
