enced in joerneying on foot, and buoyed up
with the pleasing idea of getting a home for
himself arid those he had left scone hundred
miles behind, but whose welfare and hatipi

his recollection—he pushed on at a rate, too
great for even an accomplished Pedestrian to;
withstand. l His ankles became swollen and
his feet much blistered. Aware-Of his scanty
means and his great desire to accomplish his
end, he felt unwilling to loose time, and con
firming, aggraiated the impediment,'until he
was scarce able even to hobble along.
Thus sheeted, he became depressed in
spirits, end almost ready to sink under des.
pondency,-when he %Vas overtaken. on , the

The General was up , and out on his field with all

to it, and slatted round among 'ettl'entsideAble, and
I didn't like to give up; and so to rights we cleared
'em all out, and named to and fastened up the whole
in the fence, and theta went around to see what dam
age they bed dem. ; and it was surprising to see how
muss rooting and destruction, these critters had done
over night. It will take , more than twenty men for a
week to cure it. The Gineral was real oothy about
it, and called up the Man whose business it was to
go around every day to , see that the fence was -011
