A TANGLED SKEIN.
Life Is but a Unwind skein,
Full of trouble, toil and travail,
Knot that Juir.xle heart and brain,'
We uinut study to unravel;
Hlowly, Hlowly,
Bending low ly
O'r our tak and trtixtlng wholly
Unto Htm, whose loving hand
Hell u smooth each twlstml strand.
In our ha-ids at early morn,
And at bight when (livrkne Hnge.'.-,
Htlll thedintalT inuct lie borne,
While the thread blips through onr
finger
Light ly,lllhtly,
Twintilltf tightly
Colon that Miull gleam out brightly
When the fabr o feoln th mtialu
Of misfortune grief and piilu.
He who look of iiklll or thought
In lu awkwardneM betraying,
Will the lines of graoe distort
lly the friction surely fraying
Thread so tender
Fine and slender,
Stands acoiined oh an offender,
And himself alone luunt blame
For the knots that gave his shame.
Some may wind a silken thre'id,
8oft and smooth and beautiful;
Others lUx may hold instead,
Or the coarse and shaggy woo);
Hut if ever
Our endeavor
From the i tains of sin to sever.
We may weave them hrlnt and fair
In the robes that angels wear.
Life's a eoiuplex skein iudee I,
Full of trouble, toil and travail,
More than huiuuu help we uued
All its mazes to unravel,
Slowly, slowly,.
UtMiding lowly
O'er our task, uud trusting wholly
In (tod's love, we patlenue gain
As we wind the tangled skein.

Slow, wondering o'er wood an 1 plain,

The prison at Andereonvillii was
situated on two hillsides, and thro'
the centra ran a sluggish brook,
branch, as. was called. There
wera no signs of vegetation in the
pan it had all been trampled out.
Our, squads , wera ordered to take
positions near tho . brook, on the
borders, and partially in a woiky
slough or, swamp, t This , was be
tffesn'tho brook, or branch, on the
north side, and was need bj the
prisoners as a "sink," until it had
become pestilent . with 1 a dreadful
stench! , , , ,
Sadly thinking of , home, and its
dreadful 'contrast bare, that night
we U down in tb rain and dirt,
on thehltbx bill-side, to endeavor
to get rest But whan sleep visited
us, it was with an accompaniment of
horrid dreams and fancies, mora
than realised in the horrors of the
future, and familiar now. mora or
less, to the whole civilized world.
With burdened hearts we relized
how hard waa onr position.
The first morning after onr ar
rival about twenty pounds of bacon
nnd a bushel of Indian meal waa
given me to distribute among ninety
men. " " "

when two of my oomradee, with tny.

down, experiencing the common
tife of hunger and privations of pris
onors.. ..ii,. J , ' ... I .
We soon became conversant "with
tho ways and means of the prison.
There is a cortMn flexibility of
chnractor in roon that adapts itself
itli roadioess to thuir ci.ouiustaa-
OS.
This adaptability to inevitable
nnattorablti fate, against which it Is
nioloBS to strivo, or whore it is death
to repine, softeus much of the suf
foi iugs othor wiso unouduruble in such
a life. In no position is this adsp
tability more fruitful of good results
to its possesaon then in prison. It
can enable tho luckless prisoner to
extract whatever of comfort there
may bo iu the barron species of ex
istence which surrounds him, and
mitigates the montul tormouts and
pains eudurod by those who are
suddenly thrown opon their owo
resources, amid the acutest suffer
lags which sqaalld misery can iu
fliet. While some pnssod thoir lime in
uselost ropinings, othors set thorn
solves resolutely at work, like Kob
ison Crnso, to ljvolope the resourc
es of thuir surroundings into nil
comforts thoy cau'd force thorn to
yield.
Originally tho ialotior of tho pris
on had bcou densely wooded with
pitch-piuc, iu which that country
abounds i but at the time of our
arrival it had been, with the excep
tion of bodjo foiled logs, cut to sup
ply tho want vt fuel dutuandod by
the prisouers.
Tho camp at that time was nlinost
depuudout upon the roots and
stumps of tho troos which had been
cut down for fuol.
a uiuitoj numocr 01 tuoso who
wero aiuon tho firrft arrivals hud
couritntotud rnde shelters of the
braucBes of troes, thatched with
pitch'pino to shod tho ruin.
The common shelter was, howevor
constructed with old woru-out blauk
ots, old shirts &a. ko. whilo a ma
jority by far hid uo sholter at all,
or burrowed for waut of ono in the
gruuud-
An aristocratic sboltor, which few
could iudulge iu, was made of two
blankets pinned together with wood-
on pegs, stretched upon a ridgopole
ruuuiDg across two uprights stuck
into the grouud, in iuiitaliou of au
A tout i or two poles were tied to
t'other, with both ends stuck into
tho grouud, forming a semicirclo.
over tureo 01 mesa a uiunuot was
stretched. A hole was thon made
into tho grouud throe foot doop
undor the space sbolterod by ' the
blankets. Thoso, as a robol surgeon
one day remarked, wore little bettor
than graves.
When there was a sadden shower,
as was often the case, these holes
would suddenly till with water, situ
atod as most of thorn wero on the
sido of a bill. All over camp men
might be soon crawling out of holes
like half drowned kittens, wet dis
consolate, and crestfallen.
Those who could summon the
philosophy to laugh at the ludicrous
view of their troubles, would find
out but little comfort in such - un
comfortable circumstances.
These shelters were, at best, but
poor protection aginst rain or tropi
cal sun but, as poor as thoy were,
many who bad blankets cauld not,
though surrounded by woods on the
exterior of the prison, get the neces
sary poles or branches to construct
them.
Under such oiroumslanoes the on
luoky prisoner burrowed in the
earth, or laid exposed to the fury of
the rata and aun, and often chilly
nights and mornings.
We thought the rebels tyrants in
this respect, tboosaods of acres of
woodland surrounded us, but they
would not allow oa to gather wood
to oook onr acanty moals.
Men iu the stockade were affiioted
with chronic diarrhoea, dysentery,
scurvy, and all, or nearly all kinda of
diseases the human body is beir to,
I saw quite often ' apparently ro
bust men sit down to their raw grnb,
aud ooold not masticate the little
that waa given to them on aooount
of their mouths being aOlioted with
the scurvy, They would pull out a
dozen' or more of their teeth with
their fingers and the blood drop to
the ground. It waa indeed a pitia
ble aig'ht, aod . horrible to behold.
Is it possible that men oalliog them
selves human treat tlwir follow wau
iu this wauowr.

MIDDLE BURG, SNYDER COUNTY,
Tho organization in camp for the
issne of rations was as follows :
Tho men tre'divided into squads
of ninoty, ovor which one of tb
nnmbor was appointed scrgonnt.
Orer tliroo nineties was also ap
pointed a chief sorgcant,who drew
rations Lt the wholo number.
Kvery twenty-four hoursj'thcsf
sergeants issued rations, whieb'thev
drew at the gate from the prison an
thonties. The sorgeants of nineties
issued to sorgoauts of thirty or loi.
to suit convenience, and facilitate
tho distribution of rations.
The rations were brought into
camp by mule loams, diivon by ne
groes, or, iuorocomruoiily, by pri
soners paroled aud.dctuilod fir the
purpose
A sorgoant of ninety mon was on -
tilled to an extra ration for his
trouble I resigned howovor, my
positiou as sergeant of ninoty bo-
fore 1 had hold it twonty four hours,
as I had foreseen that the positiou
required a groat deal of work, aud I
did not boliove in taking an extra
ration, which would not have bene
fited mo. Jt was n task, howovei,
which many ainoug a multitude of
huugry mouths wero ready to take
upon thomsolvei, and but vcryfow
qualified to fill in an honorable, im
partial man nor,
Whou tuuu aio cut down to starve
tion rations, they are not ultvays
discrimiuutiug in attaching bl.uuo to
the proper source, which rondo the
place all tho uioro d.Kkult to lill
with crodit.
This I early foresaw, aud, there
fore, left tho poiiition to Homo ouu
elso to fill. 1 know thero would be
a difficulty among baud iu thouuur
futuro.
During tho first month of our'im
prisoumoiit tho rations wero better
thuu at uny mibscquont poiiod, ex
cept wood, ofwbich by chance we
got none.
Yot oven at this timo tho rations
were unset ably inadequate to any
thing like a healthy organization.
Our ruti ins per day, duriug the
first month, wero littlu ovor a pint
of iudiuu raoal, the cob ground with
tho corn, which was made iutomusb,
and which wo called by thoappro
priato uauio of chickeu food.
Once u weokjwo got a touspoouful
of salt.
At first bacon was issued in small
quantities of fifteen to twonty pounds
to uiuotv mon, but, after tho first
of July, this 'was dropped almost
ontirely from piisou rations.
Sometimes, iustoal of Indian
meal, we got rice or beauH; butjoach
bean had au cccupant in tho shapo of
a grub or worm.
Our modes of cooking woro on
uroiy primitive, lue meal was
stirred iu to water, . uiukiug a thick
batter i thon a Jittle meal was
sprinkled on the bottom of the
plate or half of a canteeu, to koop
the batter from stioking. Tho bat
tor was then plaood iu a plate or
canteon, which was set np atan angle
of forty-five degrees, to be cooked
before a fire. Hut half the timo we
had no wood to make fire, and we
eat the dough or batter raw.
J ben tue front of the cake was
"done brown," the plate was fixed
npon a split stick, and held over the
coals until it was baked or buruod
upon the bottom
Our meal we eften sifted through
a ban oi a canteen, into wbicb. we
punched holos.
Dut even this coarse siove left us
so little of meal lor food, it wo
gradually abandonod as impractic
able. '
In sheer enoessity of hangor, we
sacrificed quality to quantity.
It was an amusiug scene, some
times, when three or four would
group together to oonooct a Johnny
cake.
One split wood, with a small
wedge and a jack-knife, another
ttirred up meal, while a third got
a little fire ready. The process o'
baking brought out the amusing
feature of the group. One, on his
hands snd knees, acted as a pair of
bellows, blowing up the fire i anoth
er held, extended on a split stick,
the Johnny-cake, varying its posi
tion to suit the blase or doelsi while
a third split stioks &o- fed the fire.
(n this manner, at certalu boars of
the day, could be seen groups of
men all ovor the stockade. wit!i anx
