A Iiove Story oftho Rebellion
We were sitting In our room nt the
Glades Hotel, in Oakland, Md., one day
with a charming lady who had dropped
In on a visit. Ono of our windows look
ed Into that of another room so placed
by tho position ot tho main building
that half of Its Interior could be seen.
We wero looking and admiring a little
chubby, blue eyed two-year old, white
as snow, who was pulling a bouquet to
pieces mid tossing out tho fragments, or
clapping her little hands witli delight as
the train went thundering by.
"These rooms," said our fair visitor,
"havo somo very tender associations for
me.'
"Why so?" wo asked.
"Well," sho answered, "during the
war the greater part of tho hotel was
seized by tho Government as a hospital,
and we wero crowded Into few rooms.
My sister and I had this. In that room
where that little beauty Is wero two
Union officers, ono'slck of tho fever and
another of a wound. It was hard to
tell whether they wero slowly dying or
slowly getting well. I never saw such
ghostly skeletons to bo allvo. Wo were
'socesh' and not modest nfcout It either,
but still our hearts allied for tho poor
young men, so ill, perhaps dying, far
from friends and lelatlvcs."
"It bottlers us to know how this
should be a hospital," wo Faid, "it i
solar removed from actlvo operations."
"It was thought." sho answered,
"that tho mountain air of tho glades
would be more favorablo than elso
where, so this was made a hospital.
One day one of theso officers dragged
himself to tho window, and under tho
Impulse of tho moment my. sister asked
If wo could do anything for them, and
he answered, gasping for breath, that
a little chicken soup would savo their
lives. Chickens wero rare in those days
an army Is hard ou poultry. Tho
men will work all night, after march
ing through tho day, to stcuro a few
chickens; so that when the hospital
nurso and physicians had an unlimited
supply of luxuries iu tho way of wines,
potted meats and canned vegetables,
they were without anything fresh. Wo
knew where a few wero hid In a cellar
ot a nelglibor,and we coaxed ono out of
the owner, and alter a deal of vexatious
trouble for at every turn we were met
by a fixed bayenet and an insult wo
gat the soup ready, and as tho guard
In tha hall would not permit us to tip
proach our patients, my sister attempt'
ed to hand tho bowl to tho officer In tho
window. Just 83 ho was feebly reach
ing for It, and she stretching herself
out to give it to him, a harsh, ugly
voice below cried aloud, "Look out
there poison I" She nearly dropped
herself, soup and all. Drawing back
sho hesitated n second, and then sho
took the spoon and began eating the
soup. 'Oh bother!' cried tho officer,
'don't waste It in that way; I'm not
afraid;' and she gave lilm the soup. It
seemed to revive them, and they con
tinued steadily to Improve; as day by
day wo supplied them with chicken
soup until the cellar was empty. Dur
ing this time we sat at tho window talk
ing, and wo sang to them sang 'My
Maryland' and all tho Soutlircn songs
wo know, until they wero well enough
to leave tho hospital and returned to
duty. They both seemed sorry to go,
and forced on us a quantity of hospital
store and somo coffee, which hut wo
needed sadly. Then one gave a ring
and the other a brooch, as tokens ot
their kind feelings,"
"And did thoy never return?" we
asked.
"Ono dirt not, for poor fellow, he was
killed In tho very next battle In which
he was engaged. His companion wrote
us about It, and the writer Insisted up
on opening a correspondence with my
sister; and soon his letters grow Into
love letters, and after a tituo they were
engagtd. Nearly a year subsequent to
this, our patient got leave of absence
and came on to be married. lie put up
at a hotel, and will you bellevo It, our
own brother, who was In the Coufeder
ite service, and knew nothing ot my
sister's affairs, led a band ot guerillas
at night Into tqwu and captured his In
tended brother-in-law from his bed.
This not only deferred tho marriage,
but deprived the young West Pointer of
his promotion, that had been promised
for gallant services la the field. It was
really aggravating, for oxchances had
almost ceased, ond It looked as it the
lovers would l.avo to wait until 'this
cruel war wm over' before they could
be united."
"You should havo applied to Abra
ham Lincoln to give n married brlga
der for an unmarried lieutenant."
"We did belter. Procuting passes,
wo went through (he lines and appeal
ed to Jeff. Davis. Jeff, said ho would
put my brother's prlsoner ln his slster'a
keeping, They have bedn happily mar
ried thesi many years. Ho Is a brevet-brigadier-general
now, and It nil came
ot our nursing the enemy In that room."
