"Well, madam?" . ; , . j "Wo have a houseful of sick and wound . ed whom we must care for in some way. and I came to ask of you the privilege, which I humbly beseech you will not deny us, of obtaining ice and beef at commissary prices." The gentle, earnest pleading fell on deaf ears. "Always something," snarled the Gener al. .. "Last week it was 8onr and ice ; to day it is ice and beef ; to-morrow it will be coffee and ice, I suppose, and all for a lot of rascally rebels, who ought to be shot, instead of being nursed, back to life and treason."

What do you do witli all your beggings ? It is al ways moie, mote, never enough I" With this, the General resumed his writibg, thereby giving the Sister to under stand that she was dismissed. For a mo ment her eyes fell, her lips trembled it was a cruel taunt. Then the tremnlons hands slowly lifted and folded tightly across her breast, as if to still some suddeu heart ache the unkind words called up. Very low, and sweet, and earnest was her reply : "What do we do with onr beggings? Ah ! that is a bard question to ask of one whose way of life leads ever among the poor, the sorrowing, the nnfortnuate, the most wretched of mankind. Not on me is it wasted. I stand hers in my earthly all. What do we do with it? Ah I some day you may know." She turned away and left, bim, sad of face, heavy of heart, and her dark eyes mi.sty with unshed teats.

Tho Sister paused on the threshold, and for a m hi nte nothing was heard but the rapid scratching of the General's pen. - ".There, madam, is your order on tho Commissary fwi ice and beef at army rates, good for three months. I do it for the sake of the Union soldiers who arc, or may be, in your . care. Don't come bothering me again. Good morning." In less than three weeks from that day the slaughter of the Red River campaign had been perfected, and there neared the city of New Orleans a steamer flying tho ominous yellow fiagr- which even the rebel sharp-shooters respected and allowed to pass down the river unmolested. Another, and still another followed closely iu her wake, and all their decks were covered with the wounded and dying, whose bloody bandages,and,in many instances, undressed wounds gave vocful evidence of the lack of surgeons, as well as of the completeness of the rout. Among the desperately wounded was General 8. lie was borne from the steamer to the waiting ambulance, writhing in anguish from the pain of his bleeding and shell-torn limb, and wlien they asked where he wished to be taken, he feebly moaned : ' "Anywhere, it matters not, where I can die in peace." So they took hirn to the Hotel Diev, a noble and beautiful institution in charge of Sisters of Charity. There a limbwas am putated, and there be was nursed for weeks through the agony of the surgical operation, the fever, the wild delirium, and for many weary days, no ono conld tell whether life or death would be the victor.

Looking intently at the Sis ter, as if to get her features well fixed iu his memory,-he said : "Did you get the ice and beef?"' The Sister started. The question was so direct and so unexpected. Surely her patient must be get ting better really him self. ! 'Yes'' she replied,' simply, but with a kind glance of the soft, sad eyes, that spoke eloquently her thanks. "And yonr name is " "lister Frances.'? "Well, then, Sister Frances, I am glad yon got tho things glad I gave you the older.

The door softly opened and closed, and he saw Sister Frances no more. Two. months afterwards she received a letter, to the care of tho Mother Superior, enclosing a cheque for one thousand dol lars. At the saaie time the General took occasion to remade that he wished he was able to make it twice the amount since he knew, by experience, "what they did with it." riiil'tdelphia Sunday Timet.

The selJing of the sun last- evening presented truly a magnificent sight. The Western sky was o'erspread with waving, billowy clouds, rendered transcendoutly beautiful by the glow of color from the refleclio'i of the retiring god of day. Here a f.iint blush of rose tint; there a gorgeous purpla ; beyond a clond fringed with a' glitter of golden color, or enriched with the subdued hne of amber. It was a sight to move the soul of a painter to its innermost depths; and to the poetic mind it brought the thought that even then, far down in the peaceful valley, the reflection of tlm dying day m'ght bo canting a halo of glorious light upon the head of a red beaded girl milking a brindlo cow, and that in the vast and varied economy of Nature even a red -headed girl may be of some uso.

Som.k one gives the following table of the order in which men give up the luxuries under the pressure of hard times : "Books go first the book trade flattens under a panic; illustrated papers next,, and then daily, papers. ' If the pressaie continues, the trade in pianos and fine furniture falls off,' but the laboring classes begin to con tract on furniture from the stait. Next it begins to cut off fine clothes and jewelry, and then it's getting pretty tight. Put on another turn of the screw and tea and cof fee suffer ; then all the fine groceries ; and then the nicest kinds of produce. .

Bnt,Abrahams forehead bore still the black lino with which he was born, so that even the physi cians who had attended on the patient for ueaily two months had to laugh at the idea. Abraham Chorkoy looked ofteu out of the window and seemed surprised at the coun try about hhn, and one day he made strong effrts to run away. The family now deci ded to call in the government physician and other doctors, who, after a careful exami- nation, pronounced him thoroughly sane. Although they did not understand the tongue in which he spoke, they recognized it as a regular language, well articulated. Thinking that he could make himself un derstood in writing, Abraham wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, which the physi cian read but without comprehending their meaning. The writing is in a plain, good band, in Latin letters, but the language was unintelligible to all, and no one could make out how Abraham came to use Latin characters. -So things went on until it was agreed to take Abraham to St. Petersburg to the medical university to hear the opinion of the prnmineut scholars, As soon as Pro-' fessor Orlow heard the language of.

In the spring of the year 1873, Professor Orlow, of St, Peten.bnrg, visited Pbiladel- phia at the request of his government to arrango the preliminaries of the Russian department at the Centennial Exhibition. One day, readiug a newspaper, the follow- , nf? arrested his attention in ew ne6tm. nster an occurrence re cently took place which caused a great ! Rsation throughout the whole territory 1 of British Columbia. ' September, 1874, a fi was in a dying condi typhoid fever, and no one, uot even bis physician, seemed to entertain any hope as the nossibility of bis recovery. But won- ' derfnl to relate, the patient, who was an .. . : . . . intelligent englishman, Has forgotten bis i mother tongue and rpeaks a lantrnage ! which is understood by no one around him, , b"t which at last is recognized by an in j habitant of the city to bo a jargon of bad Jewish German. The patient, before his Mckness, a shoit stout fellow and ablonde, ... , " now "'in and lean like a stick, refuses to recognize his wife and child, but insists ' that he Las a wife and several children Eomowhere else. The man is supposed to ! be insane All atouce a Europeu traveler arrives, marked with a genuine Hebrew face, and claims to be the husband of the ! of l'-e f,r dealer. . He speaks to the woman in the same language her husband was wont to speak to ber, he gives ber and even bis patents who live in the city, bnt who, of course, do not recognise bim as their son, the most detailed and minutest description of bygone events, and rnists npon being the woman's hubard and tlis parenfh.' sot-.

To bis great supiise be really found there the same black Abraham whom half a year ago he had seen in St. Petersburg, lie asked the blonde far dealer in the Russian lan guage whence he came, and was answered, from Orenburg ; and when asked for the I name of bis wife, be gave the name of the ! j Jewish woman who had cnlled upon him with her bnsband, now before bim, in St. Petersburg. When asked what bis nan.e was, be answered, "They call nie here Abraham Durham, but my right name is Abraham Chorkoy." : Professor Orlow was struck with a strange idea. Ha reasoned this way : A J man abd net ion could not have taken place, ! the bodies have not been changed, one is short, stont and blonde, the other thin, long and dark, and then New- Westminster is 2,000 German miles away from Oren burg. Metempsychosis must have taken place. It must be remembered that on the 22d day of September at the midnight hour knili .t- 1 . i:c. -.. .1 , 1. . 1 J.( "i'n .-i,i IlltJ Jl.Jl.
