'There is a story to the effect that Mr. Sew ard once deScribed Horace Greeley as a great man, so full of genius and power that if he had common sense he would be,, dangerous. The errant tendencies of Mr. Greeley's mind have been so remarkably illustrated during the past five or six years, that Mr. Seward's epigram has point. A great man and a great fool, combined in one person, certainly pre --sents-an incongruous picture, which has the effect of caricature; and perhaps-it is proper in describing Mr: Greeley to adopt the mild euphemism of "a great child." The con junction of childish (not child-like) qualities with great mental capacity is the key to his character; and it is singular that, in the nu merous biographies which have been pub lished, this view has never been expressed. Every reader of American newspapers has seen, at intervals, ridiculous caricatures of Mr. Greeley—burlesques of the kind to Which all public men are subjected, and whiclepos sem some degree of humor or- appositeness. The caricaturist aims to bring out the leading traits of the man; in excess, it is true, but the salience is not successful unless it is readily and generally recognized as significant. The caricatures of Horace Greeley invariably rep 'resent him as an overgrown child: - His cal low simplicity of look and manner at once 'strike the artist as peculiar to himself. Physically, these characteristics are very palpable. There is the looseness of the bony structure, which belongs to immaturity. The flesh is flabby, like a • child's. The fea tures lack, the strong outline of manliness. The eye is soft and wavering, and has none mandatory - energy whicb -fires. the,. 1434A4i5f strifttirity. The gait is -loose and• :shambling—a fettling along, instead of a 'de liberate progress. If such a body be typical of the mind which-inhabits it, and its motions correspondent, we - may readily understand how easily such a man might become the vietim-Orhis own ponderosity, .and merely stagger along the road of thought, according as one facultfor ahother temporarily moved hini by its activity. In fact, the human being is far more of a machine than most are willing to admit. Nor is it enough to say thehody affects the mind. It is its pur pose to represent the in-dwelling soul. Men have to learn of each other through the body,• they also judge by the body. As Swedenbourg expresses it, there is a "cor respondence" between the two. Horace Greeley grew up rapidly to nearly six feet in height, at an early age. This hasty growth of the skeleton left the organic de velopment lagging behind. Naturally of a nervous temperament, atid of large brain, his mental activity served to still further exhaust his store of vitality, and thereby retard physi cal maturity. There is some analogy between this impetuous growth of his body and the operations of his mind. He generalizes and theorizes, freely and: largely, but is very slow in filling out the, practical details of a plan. He skeletonizes, but never completes. Now, the organic development of a man is that which gives him both his passive and active powers—endurance as well as strength. Greeley's peevishness, nervousness, cc:4yard ice, are due chiefly to his immaturity. His nerves never had a proper masculine cover- ! ing. When a boy of eleven, he was thrown into an agony of terror by the delusion that be saw a wolfs eyes shining in the dark by the roadside, and he allowed two, girls to • escort him home. He could not bear - the sight .of blood; consequently he disliked hunt ing, anti stopped his ears Vile others 'fired the guns. 'His inability to control the bodily impulses extended to its desires as well as its fears, its pleasures as well as its pains. His mental life, indeed, usually absorbed his attention, often to utter forgetfulness of physical wants; but, when the appetites were give rein, they would take the bit in their teeth at once, and run away with propriety. Both in childhood' and in adult ,years, Mr. Greeley is described as eating 'with the voracity Of a famished man. When there is no work pressinghim, be sleeps with equal facility and regardlessness of time or place. In fine, the physical life of Mr. Greeley is s characterized by the twin __faults of childish im patience -01_ athildish. eagerness -for gratification. The only reason he is not more sensual is because the body, with him, is a beast hard ridden, and rarely turned out to feed. His early liking for childish food. 'and his later advocacy of it, is conshßent with • his own physical immaturity. of late years, and indeed for all his life, except two or three fears spent at a boarding-house kept on the an of Sylvester Graham—the apostle of bras bread—Nr. Greeley has eaten more or less meat. With mature years, he has pro bably felt the need of it, and learned to like it. But in 1858 he wrote that it was "still his deliberate judgment that in the tem perate and torrid zones, where a great abund ance and variety of vegetable food is easily procured, a diet which includes no flesh meat os preferable. If I were4o live leisurely, as I should choose, F would say, (Ave me the best productions of 'grains, of fruits, with abun ;dance of milk, cream, c., and let me never again see animal flesh presented for human food. Not having time nor means to make a world for ,myself, I try to accommodate my habits to the -world that , is and eat meat, - Which in , often the best_ food within reach." At that time Mr. Greeley was forty-seven Years of • age, and Weighed 181 pounds. tlince then,' he has had nine years of -com paratively light work, less care, and good, Wing, and must weigh at least 200. Ills per sonal appearance justifies the opinion ex pressed by him in 1858, that "with light daily task little responsibility, and an active out- door life, I think ' , Might attain the physical propdrtionsarid , oleaginous rotundity ,of an 'aldermen." ;. •• ' The mental life of Mr.'Greeley is not un like the physical. There is-the 'same com plete absorption in the occupation of - the mo rdent, the same childish disregard of circum stances, the same intolerance of whatever is unpleasant. His mind does not work calmly and considerately, but very passionately and intently. He fastens on his own view of a subject._ like a blood-sucker. 'You cannot tear him from it till he has sucked all the life out of it, •and falls off from tiatiety., Then he may discover that. others have. thought truly as well as himself, though he had called them "fools," "liars", and "villains" for seeking to con trovert his views. Even his benevolence - partakes somewhat of the Same selfishness. He gives because it is painful to refuse. Fer a long time, his heart •could not restrain its careless gifts to whomsoever came, regardless of the proprieties of the case. He could not bear the sight of stiffering. He gave freely and inconsiderately, to be rid of it. But when experience taught him that this system of giv ing only multiplied the number of beggars, it was stopped. This almsgitiing had been incited, not so much by con siderate kindliness Tor the object of it, as by impatience of the feelings . which the sight, of want awakened. In a word,it was childish benevolence, which the Man gradually outgrew. One clay (before the war), a negro woman came into Mr. Greeley's room and told her tale of distress. He threw her five dollars—a gift liberal' enough, truly, to rid the room at once of the applicant. But the negress was so astounded and so grateful, that she fell upon her knees, and began: to call blessings innumerable on the giver's head. This pained Mr. Greeley even more than her story, and he hastily silenced her. ' "Now, don't," said he; in his whining tone; "don't do that Get up and go 'way!' - In his theology, also, Mr. Greeley illus trates his illogical way of disregarding un pleasant facts when they disagree with his sentimental thories. Ile denies a hell,on the ground of God's beneti9ence. But transient pain is no more reconcilable with that idea than . eternal misery, nor is the. misery of the individual for the sake of the race logically consistent with it. If . Mr. _Greeley is able to argue suffering out of eternity, because it is unpleasant. to him, why not also out of this world, for the same reason? It would appear, indeed, that physical, mental, and moral qualities alike unlit Greeley for dealing with practical life. lie wilfully absorbs himself in what pleases him. and insists upon shutting out everything else from his vision. Especially does he shrink from the idea of violence, in connection with any reform in the individual, or in society. Ardent and persistent as he has been* in ad vocating many a good cause, the proposition to use force never came from him. ile would never have made the mistake of St. Peter, and cut off au ear. He has none of that. masculine, mature and energetic Christianity, which.the author of "Ecce Homo" describes as "not the emasculate sentimental thing it is sometimes...represented to be." '"War,"he adds, "for example, and capital punishment, are frequently denounced as unchristian, because they involve circumstances of‘horror; and when the ardent champions of some 'great cause have declared that they would persevere, although it should be necessary to lay waste a continent, and externikiate a na tion the resolution is stigmatized as shocking ane , - , 't-trfaSiltdcjting it ,mayL -fix not c...iffiitenirt - dbli - diet: - The - of Humanity does indeed•destroy a great deal of hatred, but it creates as much more. Sel th3h hatred is indeed charmed away, but a not less fiery passion takes its place." And the writer goes on to sav that even the spirit which inspired the - Crusaders and Others, zealous, to do - violence' for what-they believed -- to be the cause of religion, was not unchristian. "At any rate, the ostensible object of such horrors was Chris tian, and the indignation which professedly prompts • them is also Christian, and the as- • sumption they involve that agonies of pain, and blood shed in rivers, are Ass evils than the soul spotted and bewildered with sin, is most Christian." It is obvious that. a character so childish, and a mind so self-absorbed as Mr. Greeley's must have been more or less the sport of cir cumstances. The supertißial observer may start at this, and ask whether Mr. Greeley is not, then, an exemplar of what man can do in spite of unfavorable •surroundings? ;`tot remarkably so. Constitutional qualities, good and bad, have made him what he is; circum stances, pretty much alone, have determined what he was to think, say, and do. He hat drifted quite passively on the current of events. Mr. Greeley drifted into political life as pas sively as into his other occupations. In 1838, a weekly political paper, published at Albany, needed an editor, and hei was selected, on ac count of the extensive knowledge of political statistics which be had exhibited in the New Yorker. Ills course, at first, was a moderate one; but his feelings soon - made hiln a zealous politician, and a Warn partisan, as was shown in the "Log Cabin" campaign in 1840-41, and subsequently in the Tribune. The habitut'B of the Tribune office, on election nights, do not need to beteminded of the enthusiastic and peculiar yells with which Greeley was wont to welcome favorable returns, nor the Tar tarean imprecations, which were showered by him with equal zest upon news of defeat. His ardent devotion to Clay is well-known; anti how he flung himself out of the Philadel phia Convention in 1848, in -unrestrainable rage when Taylor was nominated, instead of his favorite. His homage to "Harry Clay" was that which a childish and immature nature pays involuntarily to one which is 'eminently masculine, mature and strong. It is not needful to review a political career so well and . widely known as that of Mr. Greeley. Nor is it necessary to dwell upon the events of the recent war, which devel oped his characteristic weaknesses in so glaring a light. " iliew quotations will show: . how dangerous person he would have been for a leader, in emergencies which called for Masculine courage and manly endurance, and how weak a stun we should have leaned upon had he been our main reliance. The writer of these lines remembers, as all other patriots who then chanced to reside in the South well remember, the dismay with which we read such words as these, in the . Tribune. of November 9, 1860: "!if the cotton States shall become satisfied that they can do better out of the Union than in it, we insist on the letting them go in peace." And this of November 26, .1860: "If the cotton States unitedly and earnestly' wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union, we think they should and would be allowed to do so. Any attempt to compel -them by force to remain would be contrary to the principles enunciated in the immortal Decla ration of Independence contrary to the Fonda-: mental principles on which human liberty' ie based." • • . And this of December 17, 18139: "If it (the Declaration) justified the seces sion from the• British empire of three millions of colonists in 1776, we do not see• why it should not justify the secession• of five mil lions of Southrons front the - Union in 186 t." And this of February 23, MG I: • "Whenever it shall be clear that the great body of the Southern people have become THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-ItILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1867. conclusively alienated from the Union, , and anxious to escape from it, we will do ourbest to forward their views." After the great uprising had , demonStrated how deeply and utterly the common sense and manhood of-the American 'people repudiated this cowardly twaddle, Mr. • Greeley illus trated his hiSincere special pleading; by insist ing that he meant to include the blacks as well as the whites when he referred to the "great body of the Southern people," as though he ever supposed they would or could have any voice in determining the question of secession. This is a characteristic habit of his to thrust his head-into the sand like the ostrich, blind to the nakedness which is palpable to every body else. During the war, the same timidity displayed Mr. Greeley had. no more confidence in the course and persistence of the loyal people than he had in his own. His nervous uneasiness and dread of failure, and constitu tional horror at the sight of blood, developedthemselves in such 'paragraphs' . as this, of January 22, 1863: "If three months more of earnest lighting shall not serve to make a serious impression on the rebels, * '* let us bow to our destiny and make the best attainable peace." And again, June 17, 1863: "If the rebels are indeed our masters, let them show it 2 and let us own it." . Even the victories of Vicksburg and Gettys burg did not encourage Mr. Greeley. In July, 1864, he informed :Air. Lincoln that "bur bleeding, bankrupt, almost dying country longs for peace, shudders at the prospect of fresh conscriptions, of further wholesale devastation, of new rivers of human blood;" and lie begged the President to treat with the rebels, even at the risk of reCoolaizing them. These facts, together . with eccen tricities of conductrsiew . that Mr. Greeley's mind, even in its Maturity, is too much the plaything - of - his feelings; and that - tlnse feel- - .ings arowery unsafe arall =tellable zuldes. 'Perhapt no juster cgterion can be found, by which to judge Horace Greeley, than the example of Benjamin Franklin. Their cir cumstances and manner of life wer.! re markably similar. Both were led providen tially to positions of great prominence and influence. It is the constitutional qualities of the two men which have given them so dif ferent a character and reputation. With no more advantages than Greeley, Franklin be came easily the suave habite«] of the royal saloon. Ile was relied upon as the safe counselor of statesmen. In the i midst of re volution, he never lost his calmness nor his courage. Ile was universally recognized as pre-eminently pos4essed of common sense. Withal, his mind was capacious hud philo sophical. Ile never lost sight of facts. His theories were not visionary. His plans were always practical. In what respect does Mr. • Greeley furnish a parallel to his, admitted wisdom? Rather in what great quality does he not present a strong contrast? Franklin was one of the fathers of the Republic; Greeley; one of its most - timorous children; Another parallel may be drawn; for Mr. Greeley appeals to the. future . to vindicate him. Abraham Lincoln was a man whose. eccentricities, while he lived, hid from many the greatness of his soul. Mr. Greeley could not understand the power of that miraculous patience of the People's President, which bore and suffered so much for the people's sake. He lent an unwilling support to his, re-election, as he did to Taylor in •Is4B. Lincoln wished to conciliate the rebels, btit only on the basis of Liberty and Justice for all Greeley would conciliate and. with , vvith the,.lahhilka "Oeniar: -. 'ht Wia'Alhe agtiassin"ig '64 kid - kilt -- Lincoln to his immortality, all his eccentrics ties but served, upon that sanguine back ground, to -bring out in stronger light the saintly goodness of the man. • In the early part of the war, Mr. Greeley described his own experience as a conciliator . as follows: " "I tried more than twenty-five years ago to persuade the slaveholders that their system was unjust and pernicious, and their reply was an .attempt to persuade me off a dock into thirty-feet water, which I was barely able with help to prevent. Long after that, I tried to persuade another slaveholder (son of a life-long negro-trader, and now himself a rebel general) that he had made an unfair pro position in Congress, and he replied by at tempting to persuade a hole Into the top of nay skull, and my brains out through that hole. That is all my personal experience on the subject; but I have very often been as sured (no doubt truly) that if I should ever go South, and attempt thvz to persuade people that slavery was wrong, I should very soon have the breath of life persuaded out of my.body." Now r suppose, after all this and still later experience of the temper and spirit which Slavery and rebellion have fostered, Mr. Greeley should also fall "by the hand of an assassin,—would his fate arouse the com miseration which was extended to Booth's illustrious victim, and would he receive the same apotheosis? Would not the verdict he: He obstinately, shut his eyes to facts; he tamely substituted tolerance of crime for justice. His experience taught him nothing. He was a burnt' child that would still play with the fire. He brought upon himself mod ted pinaleJament for his temporizing ana vacil lation. Mr. Greeley's excellence its an editor is. in disputable. ' His ready memory and varied knowledge fit him admirably for that voca tion. In a good cause his logic is• very ef fective; in a bail cause his special pleading is ingenious. Let his antagonist beware how %'he uses weapons that may be turned upon. himself. When James Watson Webb under-- took to ridicule Greeley's shabby attire, he 'was silenced by the retort that the dress which ' he found so ridiculous was not' nearly so singular as that he would himself have worn but for the clemency of Governor Seward. When Mordecai M. Noah depreciated the ne gro as belonging to an interior race, which had no rights that white men Were bound to respect, Mr. Greeley's stinging and conclusive answer was, that a man, belonging-to a na tionality which for centuries had been out lawed in every Christian - natien, should be the last one to excite prejudices on account of race or color. Nor is it fitting to deny the greatness of Horace Greeley's heart. There is too much enthusiasm there for what he believes to. be right, too ready a willingness to battle, against any odds, for whatever, he deems a humanitarian object, to ,permit any lover of mankind to withhold hi,, respect and affection for the man. Were his head as cool as his hear - Cis warm, his judgment as sound as his alms are noble, he weld not have made the mistakes which' prove him to be an unfit leader in the .path of progress he so devotedly loVes.r- The Northern Monthly for Antin§t: • - • • Itiensoriew. From an interesting article - on the United States Military Hospital at Annapolis, Md., in the Atlantic for August, we extract the following: On the 17th of November, 1863, the steamer New York came in, bringing one hundred and eighty men from Libby Prison and Belle „Isle. Most of these were the soldiers who had `fought at Gettysburg. Never was 'there an army in fhe world whose health and strength were better looked • after than our own; the weak and sick were always sent to the general hospitals; and the idea that our men were ever in other . than the most 'sound and robust condition at the time of their bectiming prisoners has no foundation. Language fails to describe them on their return-I%in the most cruel of cap tivities. Ignominious insults, bitter and,gall ing threats, exposure to scorching heat by day and to frosty cold at night, torturing pangs of hunger,—these were the methods by which stalwart merthad been transformed into ghastly beings with sunken eyes and sepulchral voices. They were clothed in uncleanly rags, many without caps, arrittribst - without - shOes,- Their hair and beards were overgrown and. . matted. The condition of their teeth was the only appearance of neatness about them; and these were as white as ivory, from eating bread madb of corn and cobs ground up to gether. A piece of such bread four inches square daily, With a morsel of meat once a week and a spoonful of beans three times a week, had been their food for several months. Some were too far gone to bear the strain Of : removal from the steamer; nine died on the day of arrival, •and one-third of the whole number soon followed them. Roses, which had lingered through the mellow au tumn, were wreathed with laurel and laid upon their coffins as they. were carried into the beautiful little chapel for the funeral ser vices, before they were laid in thegovernment cemetery, about a mile from the hospital. It is a lovely place, with many trees surround ing its gentle slopes ; and here thousands sleep, with their name, rank, company and regiment inscribed upon wooden slabs. But "Lnknown". is the only sad record on many a headboard. These were men who died either on transports, or who, when brought to us were too much impaired in mind to re member anything,—for the loss or derange ment of mental faculties was no uncommon occurrence. When the first cases of starva tion were brought under treatment,, the doc tors prescribed the lightest diet, mostly rice, soup and - tea; -- By experiment it was proved tliat just as many died in proportion under this • care as when an intense desire for any partic ular article-offoocLwas allowed in a measure to be satisfied. Almost every man on Its ar- rival would have his mind concentrated on some one thing: with many, pickles were the coveted luxury; with others, milk. Often, as I passed through the wards, one or another would call out, "Lady, do you think there is such a thing as a piece of Bologna sausage here?" or, "Lady, is there a lemon in this place? I have been longing for one for months." The first thing that one man asked ti,r was a cigar. lie WAS very low, but said, "1 would like one sweet smoke before I die," lie finished his cigar only a few moments before he breathed his last. The gratification of an insane craving for food cost many a poor fellow his life. One morning a Mall who had just come received seine money from a friendly comrade; going into the sutler's, he bought a quart of dried apples. After eating them he became quite thirsty and drank an alarming quau tity of cold water. It is needless to say that _he_died_the_next_day. At_another time a hey received a box from home; his fond mother, with more kindness than good judgment, sent, with other things, a mince-pie, _which delighted him, and he was greatly disappointed in not being allowed to taste it. Though warned of the . danger, when the nurse left him for a few moment to 'bring him some beef-tea, he got at the, pie, ate half of it, and When the nurse returned was lying dead. Perhaps his death was not caused, but only hastened, by this. It was impossible always to guard against such imprudences. One of the most interestin: if the patients, ming, was sylvanin Regiment. An imprisonmenta one hundred And:thirty-eight days had reduced him to a point beyond recovery. Day by day he grew weaker, yet clung to life for the sake of going home to see his friends once more. A. few weeks before, Dr. Vanderkeift had allowed a man in similar condition to start for home, and he had died on the way; So that the Doctor had made a ride that no man should leave the hospital unless able to walk to headquarters to ask for his own papers. An exception to this rule could not be. granted, and the only chance was to try to build up Campbell's little remaining strength for the journey, to relieve his suffering by comforts, and. to keep hope alive in his mind by interesting him in stories and hooks. He was de lighted to have "Evangeline" read to him, and the faint smile which passed over his haggard features as he listened told of a romance hi his own life, begun, but destined too soon to be'broken off by. death. When too low to write, aTa lady was 'answering a letter from his sister for him,he asked to have it read over to him. In- her letter the'Sister had requested him to name her infant daughter. When the lady came "to this reqritst, he stopped her by asking what she thought a pretty name. Edith was sug gested, but he did not seem satisfied with that; at last he said, shyly! ',Howdo you spell your name? I think ! would like to have her named for you." The 'lady felt rather em barrassed in writing this, and persuaded him to let her mention several names, so that at least the sister might have a choice. This was only a few days before his death. His father wag sent for, because 'it was evident that there could no longer be any hope of re tutzting strength for him. The poor old man was heart-broken when he saw his son in such an emaciated condition. They had heard at home of his severe sufferings, but said he, "How could I ever expect to see him the like of this?" With patient resignation to God's will, the sufferer Ny aite d, and .his life ebbed slowly away. At this time there was in the wads an elderly man, who for months had been' vainly trying to recruit his . strength. He had not been a prisoner, but had been sent to the rear on account of feebleness. Now John Bump thought it a great waste 'of time to be staying here in the hospital, Vhere he was doing no good to the nation, while, if he were at home, he might be acquiring quite , a fortune from his "profession," for lie was a chair-maker. His descrip tiVe list not having been sent from the regiment, he could draW no pay. • One day received the followinghn-, portent queries from his anxious with, who, with eight small children at home, did seem to be in a preorions condition:, "The man who owns the house says I must move out 11' 1 cannot pay the rent: what shall I ? have nothing for the children to eat: what shall I do ? There is nothing to feed the hens -with: what shall I do? The pigs are starving: what shall I do?" An application was made, which resulted in John Bump's being sent to his regiment, from which he no doubt soon received his discharge papers. ' Tracy Rogers, with his bright, sunny face, and sweet voice, whose merry music re sounded through the wards, was one of 'the first to regain strength and spirits. - His pa triotic zeal had only been reanimated by his sufferings, and be:, ; NivitS in haste to be in his place at te front . again. A brother had been killed in the same battle in which he was taken prisOner, and another had -.died in a Philadelphia hospital. He was sure that he .ShoUld yet die for - his country, and talked of death as soon to come to him, With earnest - thoughtfulness he recalled the teachings of a Christian mother in his far-off Connecticut home, As the tears filled his manly blue eyes one day; he asked if the hymn', ' "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, • And cast a wishful eye," • could be found in the hospital: He said that .t had' been sung at his mother's funeral, on hie fourteenth birthday; that he had never seen it since, but thatlately he had 'thought much aboutlt. The hymn was brought, and he committed it to memory; We were sorry to part with him, when, after serving as ward-master,' he Was strong enough to go to his regiment. Not long after he left, a letter eame,saying that he had been badly.wounded, and wished himself back' among his Annapo g friends Once more.. We never heard of him again, and fear that his wounds must have -proved-fatal, - Those were quiet, solemn hours passed in the lnispital in the intervals', between past and coming dangers. At the close of the day, the men would gather into one ward for pray ers. Matira stern voice was uplifted that never prayed before. After petitions for pardon and guidance had arisen - to the: (litter .of all good things, the men would sit an I sing for hours sometimes, each one wish' ig for his favorite hymn to be sung, and fit ing that this time was more homelike tha any other of the- For a week before Christmas, active renaL rations were made for its celebration The men were allowed" to go into the woods across the river, and bring boughs 0 hem lock, pine, find laurel, and of holly lade with bright berries. Early every evenin was occupied in twisting and tying cvergr en in the chapel. Many a reminiscence of home was told, as we sat in clusters, -wreathing garlands Of rejoicing so strangely con trasting with , the sights and sounds of life and death around us. Late on Christmas eve, some of the men from Sec tion V., a tent department, came to ask as a great favor that I would assist them in de corating the tent of Miss 11---. They said that she had been "fixing up" the wards all day, and they wanted to have her own tent adorned as a surprise - when she came' down in the morning. On-going over- to the tent, I-- found that they had already . cut out of red and bine flannel the letters for "A - nervy Christmas to. Miss 11--.." These were soon sewed upon - White cottons - which, being surrourh;tl with evergreen, was hung in the most conspica ous place. Then -there were crosses, stars and. various other designs to go' up, among them a Goddess of Liheny of remarkable proportions,. considered the Olaste:rpiece of • the whole.

Friends in Philadelphia Lad requested to provide the dinner, which was most lavish and luxurious. The tabli€s were loaded with turkeys, pies of various kinds. fruits, and candies. This was a feast indeed to the thousand heroes gathered around tne board, and to those too ill to leave the wards a portion of all was taken, that at least they might see the good things which the others were enjoying. The thoughts of many of the sick had centred on this Christ mas dinner, and they had named the favorite morsels that they wished for.

Large quantities of coffee, ; chocolate and goliels were to be made,clothes • were to be in readiness, and the stretcher corps tosbe mustered. An the sun arose, a great crowd assembled, and when the New o ,l'ork neared the whart; shouts and cheers greeted her. 'The decks were covered with men, whose skeleton ibrms and vacant countenances told of star- ' vation, the langiud glimmer that at moments overspread their laces feebly betokening the gratitude in their hearts at their escape from" Dixie." This time the rebel authorities had allowed only "well men," as they called them, to come, because so much had been said at the North about "the last lot," who came in November. Those about to walk were landed' first, the bare-footed receiving shoes. • Many were able to- crawl as far Parole Camp, a little beyond the cif - Y. The more feeble were received into . the hospital, where hid baths awaited them; and when they Lad biien passed under scissors and razor, and were laid in comfortable beds—only too, soft after the bard ground they had lain on for months, with as much earth as they could scrape to gether for a pillow—they expressed the change in their whole condition as like coming from the lower regions of misery into heaven itself. Handkerchiefs arid combs, writing mate rials and stamps, were - among the first requi- 1 sites of the new-comers. A few were able to wrote; and for the others,the ladies were but too happy to apprise the friends at home of their -arrival, even if recovery were doubtful. In taking the names of the men, I came to a white-headed patriarch,and expressed surprise at finding hint in the army. His name was 11. B. Darling; and, as I wrote it down, be said : "You might as-well put 'Reverend' before it, for I am a Methodist minister. I lived in Greenville, Green county, Tennessee, and when this rebellion came on, I preached and preached, until it did not seem to do any so I took up the musket' to try what righting would do." "He had -left a wife and six children at home, from whom he 'had heard only once, and then through a friend taken prisoner six months after himself. He had been clown with "those fiends," as lie called sthem, twenty-one months, and had been in nine :different prisons. H e h a d --worked- - for therrehels—ouly' :it The ~iiiinE of the bayonet—while his strength lasted, " in digging wells. Ile had passed three mouths in the iron cage at Atlanta, and three ; months in Castle Thunder under threat of being tried for his' life for some disrespectful speech about Rebeldoins finally, after all the perils of. Libby Prison and Belle Isle, he was free once more. "These_are tears of gratitude," he said, in answer to the welcome given him, as they: rolled down his "furrowed cheeks; "it is the first word of kindness that I have heard. for so long." On soiled scraps of.paper he had the names of many of his fellow-prisoners. Ile had promised, should: he ever escape, to let their friends at home know . when -and where they bad died. Letters were at once 'Written, carrying the painful certainty of loss to anxious hearts. •To his own family it Was useless to write, for the rebels surrounded his home, cutting off postal communication. He brought with him six little copies of the Gospels, one for each child at home; they had been given to him at the South, having been sent over by the British . and Foreign Bible.Sdeiety for dis tribution.. Surely no men ever more needed ' the 'piontiseti 'Of 'divine' consolation than the captives whom these volumes reached. • It was difficult to restrict the diet of this old hero. After eating an enmmous meal of soup, meat, Vegetables, pudding and- bread, his appetite would not be in the least satisfied; he would very coolly remark that he had had a very nice dinner; there was only one trouble about it, there was not . enough. Oa being told that we would gladly give hires more were it considered safe, he would persist in saying that, he felt "right peart," and begged me 'to remember that it was • twenty-one months since he had had any dinners. As he bwined strength enough to walk about, he ecame acquainted with the, system of the hospital and made a discovery ono day; natuely r that he was on low diet, and that there was such a thing as full diet for the well Men. "If present fare is • low, what may not the full be?" ho reasoned, as visions of illiMitable bounty floated through his in satiable ntind. So he asked the doctor . one morning to transfer his name to the full-diet list; and when the bugle sounded, he joined the procession as it •moved to.thc Salt-fish, bread and molasses „t chanced to be all that presented them selves to the famished, disappointed old' loam/ his countenance was forlorn,indeed, as he came-to the window of the ow-diet serving-- room lb ask for something to eat. "I shall get the doctor to put my name back on to this list, for I like this cook-shop the best, if it is • called low diet." Father' Darling, as he used to be called, soon became a favorite all over the hospital. Be delighted to perform any act of kindness for his fellow-sullerers. On Sunday moruin g4 he might be seen wandering through the grounds, carrying books and papers into the wards, with a bright smile and cheery word for each man. His eloquence reached its highest pitch when, talking of the Southern Confederacy, he declared that he did not be lieve in showing mercy to traitors, but that God intended them to be "clean extermi nated" from the face of the earth ; like the hea then nations this Israelites were commanded to destroy-ages ago. Ile had but- too good-yea son for 'ivisli;ag justice to be clone. After lie returned to Ms home in Tennessee, he wrote: `.`There is but one tale in the whole country: every comfort of life is peirbMied, clothes all in rags, a great many men and, boys murdered, and, worst of all, ChriF:ti,;,nty seems to have gone up from the earth. ;Ind: plunder and rapine to have filled its wace.

So many strange ideas are entertained alyout a woman's life in hospital service that I am tempted,to transcribe a page from my own experience, in order that a glimpse may be had of its reality. Imagine me, then, in a small attic room, carpeted with a government blanket, and furnished with bed, bureau, stove,-14:ifie 4 71 e 1 usL troll's stars still keep their quiet watch , In the btu. neavens.

After all, the difficulty has been chiefly in the want of a sufficient amount of air, for there could be no draught through . the dead embers, and these could be disturbed only noiselessly, for the lady in the next room. has the small-pox, and it will not do to awake her from iter morning slumbers. A glance at the wonderful beauty in which day is breaking is sufficient compensation for such early rising, as with hurried step I go to the wards, about seven rods off. The kind hearted steward stands at the dear: "Talbot died at two o'clock; he was just the same till the last." lam not surprised, for when I left him I knew that his feeble frame could not nylcu. longer endure the Violenceof delirium. He wass• by no means among the most 14opeless of the last prisoners who/came, but an unaccounta ble change - had /passed suddenly over him within the last feW days. And now tini4K of his death rinist carry a sad revulsion to hearts at home, made happy, but a short time since, by nes of his safety. The patients rouse themselves frorrr. the, drows , lness,of a sleepless night, • expecting a morning greeting as I pass through the wards, giving to each his early stimulant of xviiisky or chen•Y brandy. The men in the , where poor Talbot died seem in especial acid of it; for, as they glance at the vacant comer,. they say, screamed so badly, we didn't get much sleep." . At the call of the bugle a general sfarnp2dc• takes place for breakfast, and I must repair to the serving-room to oversee the last' pre parations for low and special diet; for on his• return each , one.of the male nurses will ap pear at the window with a large tray to be: filled for his hungry men. Beef essence, )01- lies, and pudding for the day's require ment claim a little personal attention. Such things are not always left to. • servants at home; and how could oar - "boy's In blue" be' expected, to handle the Spoon with the same dexterity as 'the musket? They are not, however, delleint in culinary skill, as the savory hash, well-turned beefsteaks, nicely dropped eggs and good coffee will testify. After the procession of' heavily laden• breakfast-bearers has moved off supplies from the.commissary need a little arras rote; aid one must plan how they..may be made Ire - Most 04-7and- - whitt , additions for the ~next.._ three meals are to be furnished front private resources. The result of which considers; ion is usually the despatch of Henry., the Miler, cook, into the city to .purchase chickeo,;, oysters and milk in as great quantity as can• be bought. At eight o'clock the ladies meet for th .11 -- morning meal. Good cold water, bread and molasses, with the occasional luxury of a salt-fish cake, suffice to keep- sod!. and body together. The coffee is said to be• good by those in the habit of taking it, and. some, too, enjoy the butter. , The preparation of lemonade in litrAe quantities, and drinks of various degrees of sweetness and acidity, is next to be superin tended. As rapidly; as • possible the littie.- pitehers are filled, and I follow them to tilt:. wards. -4, Wondering what can be the matter, anvil cooling his parched lips and bathing his burn ing brow, I stand over Allen as the doctor, enters. Doubt is soon dispelled, for he pro nounces it a violent case of small-pox. It•ie, becoming very 'prevalent, but this is my .first introduction to it. The doctor orders the iin mediate removal of the patient to.iforn Point, the small-pox quarters,about two miles across the bay. It is too bleak. for the open-boat conveyance, and so he must be jolted six. miles round in an ambulance. On hie bed,. buried in blankets and stupefied. with, lever,, he starts for his new abode, not without a plentiful supply of oranges, lemons and bay water. The plaintive, whining tones of William Cullen, a boy of sixteen, who is a picture Cif utter woe, with mind enough only left to know that he is in "awful pain," detain me too long, and when I must leave him, it is with the promise of coming up soon again, for he says he always did like to see "women folks around." His home is in Southern 'Virginia, whence he escaped to join the Union army; and he will never hear from his /wane again, for thirty-six ounces of brandy (lady will not keep him alive much longer. Fe has already taken a ring from his finger, to lie sent home with a dying message' after the war is over. The lower ward is not reached too soon, for the manly, gentle Mason is near his end. He faintly presses my hand, begging me..not to leave him again, for. it will soon, be, all over. Au attack of pneumonia has proved too much tOr his reduced system to resist, and, meekly submitting to its ravages, he lies at last upo , lit:; death-bed. A saintly fortitud6 sustains liiin, ea -iu broken, accents ~these ECIACLICVB come from his lips: "It is' a country worth dying for." "Others Will enjoy, in coining yearn, what I have fought for." "I can trust my Saviour lie is lighting me through the valley of death." "All is well." Low words of prayer commend the departing .soul to the God who made it, and the sweet hymn,— "0 sing to me of heaven, When I am called to die," breaks the stillness of the ward. "It is growing dark,—l can't see you any more,"—he whispers; and then, as the bugle notes strike his ear, "Before that sound is heard again, I shall be far away." His heavy breathing grows thicker and shorter, until that radiance which comes but once to any mortal faCe, streaming through the open portal of eternity, tells of the glory upon which his soul is entering, as his eyelids are iiuietly (th7Fefi on earth; TheAlletlill the beils arouhd mulch. gaze upon him, wishing that they may die like him when their last summons comes. The tender-hearted McNally, the faithful nurse, tearfully laments the loss of the first patient who has died since he took charge of the ward, and is sure that he could nut have done more for him had he been his own brother.

He hands over the materials for a mustard plaster, as -he professes profound ignorance on the subject, saying that he fears the men left to his charge will not get very good cure.

Preparation of stimulants .and supper keep me busily occupied until, in the .shadowy twilight, the men from the fif teen wards gather mto one,where the patients are not too ill, to listen to a few texts from the Holy Book, which come with a diviner meaning of consolation than ever before, in the hush of closing day, , with death so fa miliar a thought to each.
