Whatover I written and la worth keeping becomes fixed capital and is Indestructible The amount Is neces sarily cumulative, and It Is a foregeuo con clusien that ene of thesedays the people et this country will have a national lltorature of sufllcieul substance and symuietry fe give it a distinctive character.

A lltorature which bears the stamp of na tionality must be indlgoneus, and in some sense, either dellnable or undetlnable, repre sentative. It must have reference te locality. The environment suggests something which ether environments de net, and It Is the ene who gives expression te this suggestion, whatever It is, that is the native writer In prose or verse.

It Is the one who un consciously Heizes the spirit el the place and time and elves volce te what is present though indistinct in the minds of ordinary men and women, These utterances atrlke the popular chord at ence, capture the mind and heart, and, however simple and homely, become llrmly Imbedded In the national literature. Here lies the strength or Burns, et Hcett and Dickens. Such men leave a charm ever alter en their surroundings which was uet there before.

Heury Ward Iteecher's many accomplishments net the least i his ability as a story teller. Te much amufed listeners he recently told thl ene about a New Yerk drummer. Atypical "knight of the gripsack" was detained nt a small town In Western New Yerk awhlle age where n revlval meeting was in progress. He had met h party or convivial friends during bis stay there, and had what is popularly known as "a lead en." Nevertheless he drlfled Inte the revlval meeting and took a seat well up In front- It wa rather close In the church and the warm air was conduclve for sleep. The drummer yielded te the drowsy god and after nodding a little sank Inte a pro found slumber ami slept through the min ister's rather long and dry disceurse, The audience sang a hymn and the drummer slept en. Then the evangelist began hi ad dress, nnd wound up his ten Id appeal with thl request : " Will nil of you who want te go te heaven ploase rlse."

When the evangelist asked them te be seated ene or the brothers in the name pew a the sleeping drummer accident ally brushed against him us he Rat down. The drummer rubbed hi eye, and partially awake heard tbe last portion of the ovange- , list's request, which wa : "Mew J want an ei you who want logeio bell stand up." The drummer struggled a Ultle, leaned forward unsteadily, and rese from hi scat In a daed sort of way. A sort of suppressed laugh he heard from some of the younger people, and nn oxpresslon of horror he noticed en the face of soine .of the elder ones. Steadying himself against the rail he looked at the evangelist an instant and then said : "Well, parson, 1 don't knew just exactly what we're voting en, but you and I seem te be in n hopeless minority."

The rumor proved te be true. Hew Sherman pursued the rebels until they had crossed the Tennessoe river en thelr great dash at Nashville, and hew, after they had cressed that stream, he left them te the ten der inercies of Oen. Themas, while he whoeled about nnd made bis march te the sea. Is history, with which 1 have nothing te de hore. It Is sulliclent te say that after a tedious march of ten days north from At lanta we reached Heme, da., where I ro re ro celvod my final muster-eut and discharge from the army ; but Oeu. Heed still being In our rear, I was roquestod by Gen. Carlln -te remain en duty and assist In the transpor tation. This I did for flve days mere, wh9n we camped en the ISth en the Lafayette read near the lltlle town of Vlllanew. Here It wa that Sherman erdered all dis charged soldiers, all convalescents men, mules and horses all unnecessary or unser viceable commissary and quartermaster stores, te be romevod te Chattanooga, whlle he made bis grand march through the very centre of the Confederacy. Our army of discharged and convalescent soldiers wa net se large as Sherman's, by long odds, and yet we were a caravan of no mean dimensions, and Isuppose occupied a mlle or mere In length, marching In a close order as the olUcer In charge could keep se heterogeneus a command,.

The day's march wa a tlresome.one, and It wa near sunset before we reached the farm of Henry Mack and parked. rOKAUIXr.1 AT HKNllY MACK' l'ARM. The farm nppoared te be well stecked, aud "the boys" nt ence helped themselves te wliatever they wanted. Chickens, duck, goeseand turkeys were confiscated by who ever could catch them ; pig, sheep and calve wero shot, and slaughtered nnd cook ed ; the mules and herses were fed from Mr. Mack's stacks, and overyono connectod with the caravan appeared te be gay and happy. I wa among the Inst te get Inte camp, but reached It in time le soe that the boys were making tbetuselves comfortable. Mr. Mack's hottse wa en the seulh slde el the raid and steed back from it mero than a hundred yards, and wa reached by a lane leading te it from the read. 1 strolled down the lane towards tbe hotise and met Mr. Mack, utall lean olderly man, with a rather wo-begeno oxpresslen of face. "Colonel," said lie. (nobody down south at that tlme wa supposed te rank lower than colenol) "can't you save me what little thore 1 left of my property ; your soldiers have taken almost e erythlng I own. I am a I'lilen man and have n ' protection paper signed by Gen. Theinns," and he pulled It from hi pocket and showed It te me. It wa genuine. 1 told Mr. Mack that I wa net a colonel, nor even a soldler; that I had been discharg ed nnd although 1 woie an olllcer's uniform I had no moie authority ever the men who had appropriated ills property than he had. Most el the men, also, were discharged sol diers, belonging te ninny dillerent regiments, aud wero probably without otllcera te re strain thorn. About the only consolation I could clve Mr. Mack, was te held en te his " protection paiers," aud if he wa a geed Union man uncie nam wetuu home nay make geed hi losses perhaps.

Mr. Mack's house wasn peculiar structure unllke any I have seen North, though I saw a number of them down In Dixle. It was a deuble two-story trame, about forty feet freut, without cellar, and thore was a wagon wagen dri e right through the middle of It, It hail windows, hut no doers either front or back; but en either slde of the wagou-drive wero doers leading into the respective apartments. Mr. Mack's few remaining valuable wero seen stored lu the room en the west side of the wagou-drive, nnd 1 wa given charge el them. The room had a geed bed In It, and threo or tour chairs. 1 talked with Mr. Mack aud hi family until It was qulte late, though orders had been issued that the troop and train would move at 3a. m. my uoui'eiitaiim: iiiiu-uoem. It was net until the family had bade me geed night and retired le the ethor side of the house, Mint 1 noticed there wa no deer te my room. The opening was there but the iloev had uever beeti hung, and anyone could tep from the covered wagon-drive right into the room. Ter u mement 1 wished I had my revolver; but when t came te think that 1 wa surrounded by Union sol diers, the wish vanished nnd 1 resolved te have a geed night's rest, taking the precau tion te place three chairs, turned aver en their Hide, ene above the ether, in the open deer-way, se that if any loragers should happen te come around they could net get hi without making a noise that 1 would be apt te hear. 1 had net slept in a bed for n long, long tune a year or mero. 1 pulled oil' my coat and boob only, and tumbled in. Hew I ii Id revel lu that bed 1 I stretched my arms, HlKirtnnd clasped the rails en either slde! What u luxury compared with sleeping in a wagon, or under n .vagen, or en the lid of u mess-chest, or en two rails, or en the frozen or muddy ground, as 1, in common with hundreds el thousands et ethers bad se often done I And thore was a pillow en the bed a feather pillow I I wus he delighted with my quarters, that I could net get te sleep for a long tune, j crawieu an overtue oeu, se that I might enjoy every square inch of it; ami fancy carrion me te evon n uener ueu that awaited me at home, which I would reach In a very low days I And In thl blissful frame et mind 1 foil asleep. And I slept soundly and long. I wa awakened by the clatter of hoof), as n horseman gallejied down the lane aud reined up hi borse in the wagon-drive, almost at the deer-way of my room. A IMtAISKWOIlTlIY mi:. " Wasn't there a Yankee elllcer stepped Here last nlghtr ' said the horsenian, sharply. Thore was a momentary pause, and then 1 heard Mr. Mack say, very slowly, and a if he would rather net say It, "Yes. sir, there wa. and " "Yes, there were soveralef them here," chimed In ene et the daughters, interrupting her father, "but they have done geno ; they went etl with the ether soldiers at 3 o'clock, toward Chathmoega." I had crept ueislessly nut of bed, the moment the horsenian had reined lu hi steed. Instinctively 1 believed hlm te le an enemy, and wascouvlucedel It when 1 heard the words spoken by the old man and his daughter. I had overslept myself, and all wy comrades had left the premises and were tulles ahead en their 'way te Chattanooga and I was alene, unarmed, and In the clutches of rebel buihwackerm, Theso thoughts passed through my brain In n twinkling- as I pulled en my beets nnd coat, nnd grasped, as my only means of defense, a light stick which 1 had used the day lietore as a walking stick. "Yes," said the girl, "thore wero soveral of them here, but they have dene geno ; they went with the ether soldiers at 3 o'clock towards Chatanoega." "Ged bless that girl," was my mental prayer. " Damn the luck," said the horseman ; and thou added, "Are thore any ether house near here?" " Ye," said the girl, " there I one a very short distance down the read, and I think soine of the efllcers stepped thore." Wheeling his horse quickly around, the horseman dashed oft at full speed and was seen out of the lane aud galloping down the main read, towards the ether heuse. Then Mr. Mack leaned evor the chnlrs with which I had barricaded the deer-way, and said te me In a whisper. "Stranger, you had better be getting out or this; that man means yen no geed." "Is he a rebel soldier?" I asked. "He is ene et our people," replied the old man, "and means you no geed; and be i net alone ; he has companions." "Our people," said J, repeating the old man's words; "that is, they are bush-wackera?" The old man said nothing, but bis daugbler said ; " It won't be safe for you te lake the read. Ge through this field and through the weeds beyond. Yeu will net lie far from the read, and will be out of sight et the men who are looking for you." Thanking the Macks for the kindness shown me, I emerged from the room and colored the Held. Jt was ever-grown with rank weeds, many of thorn towerlng above my head. A very heavy dew bad fallen, and overy weed in my path shook down the pearly drops upon me. Before I was half way through the field, Which wa a very large one, I was wet from head te feet, and shivering with cold. At last I reached the weeds, and hurried through it for soine dlstance. In the darkness 1 wa impeded by undergrowth, and every new and then 1 would step upon rotten boughs, which breaking under my weight, made a cracking report that sounded te my strained ears as leuda pistol shots. O, hew disgusted 1 wa with myself. Te think that 1 had passed through three years of sorvlce, almost with out a scratch, had been honorably discharged and was within a few days of home within arm's reach almost or wlte, and children, and friends when llke a feel I bad laid aside my arms had been stupid enough te act a policemen ever an old man's household truck had dallied in the luxury of n bed overslept myself, and was new shivering and snaking with cold, aud wandering in the weeds through thorns and brambles and briers, trying te save my precious threat from being cut, or my brains blown out by btishwackers. I knew I richly deserved such a fate; but I couldn't bear the thought of It, Had 1 died of disease or been killed in battle, bofero being mustered out of ser vice, I thought I wouldn't have minded it much ; but te bave the top of my head blown oil by a rifle shot, or te be punched through the body with a bayonet, or have my threat cut with a bowle knife en the hand of a bushwacker, in the midst of a forest, where my remains would never be leund thl was loe much 1 I stepped a moment and kicked myself. Then the hcrriule thought came Inte my mind, that If the bushwacker get me and my body was net found, I would lx) suspected of having deserted my wife and family 1 The very thought made me shud der. My firm resolve wa at euce taken ; "Bet "Bet eor die en the read than In the middle of a big weeds," and 1 struck out in the direction in which J thought the read lay. X had a long walk before I reached It, and day wa new beginning te dawn. Net a sound wa heard except that made by my own feet. Keeping a much a possible lu the shadow of the weeds, I peered up the read and down the read, and seeing noth ing, hurried forward en a run, and bad per haps placed two or three mile between Mack's rarm and myself, when through the mist et the morning I espied two horsemen just going ever the brew era hill In front of me. They aud their horses appeared te be el gigantic stature ; but that J knew wa only an optical illusion, caused by the va pory mist of the morning. As seen a the hersemen disappeared behind the brew of the hill 1 hurried forward cautiously until I also reached the top of it, when, a 1 ex pected, the horsemen were in view loisurely ascending a bill beyond, 1 did net doubt tlien, and de net doubt new, that they were the men who expected te capture me at Mr. Mack's heuse. MF.r.TINd ANOni.S I'NAWAltF.. Whlle secretly watching them from the edge et a cepse by the roadside, I wa startled by hearing voices but a short dls dls taneo oil. I secroted myself behind a tree, took a very long breath, nnd loekod and listened. " Hew did you make out?" asked ene of the party. There wero elght or ten of them, each dressed In blue uniform and carrying a rifle. " I get along firet-rate," was the reply ; " I took the old reb'H mare and colt, had a geed ride all day, and then sold thorn for $'25. Net long afterwards 1 picked up a mule and soiuiiier ." " Helle, boys," said I, stepplug out Inte the read ; " you are en your way te Chatta nooga, 1 suppose, and, llke me, overslept yeurselves. The rest of the boys are net far ahead ; we'll seen overtake them," and I joined the gang. They "eyed me" rather suspiciously, but saluted me In true soldier style. They wero a band of stragglers, and had been out en a private foraging expedition, gathering in whateerthey could lay their bands en. Net ene et thorn belenged te my regiment ; but a I looked Inte their faces I thought they were the handsomest men I had ever seen If, indeed, they were net an gels, sent te rescue me from the hands of the bushwhackers 1 Ne matter who they were or what they had been doing, I was glad te claim them a comrades. I knew the biish biish whackers had no business with that party, ltight cheerily we marched en togethor and ere long overtook the train, aud befere neon reached Ringgold, and the same night Chat tanooga, and next day Nasjiville, and next Loutsville nnd en te Pittsburg, and next day " home sweet home."
