A NARRATIVE OF PERSONAL EXl'E-UIENCE.
ISriUKXTS OK UOSl-tTAL l.IKK.
Ilitlierto 1 ltnvc refrained from Fptukin-j
of purticulur individuals, but tln-re witc
several in whoso history, I feel assured, the
public will take especial interest, and tberc
luru I give them briefly ne possible.
STOltY OK A KEW YOllK SOI.D1EK.
Among the first who came under my hands
nnioii,' my new prvtiyc was u yonnj man
from Wuy'nc county, New York. His name
was Frederick S cl, and he ot once claim
ed my attention peculiarly, by his intense
desire to be neat und clean, while at the
same tjme exhibiting the utmftst reluctance
to give trouble.' lie whs modest and refined
in manner; betrayed great thoughtfulness
and sympathy for "others, und was the most
grateful creature for any little kindness I
have ever seen. 'Within a few days that
followed his urrival a marked improvement
became apparent. I took greut pains to fa
cilitate his recovery as rapidly as possible,
and had the pleasure of at last seeing him
walk about the hospital, aided by his stall".
He seemed both cheerful and full of hope,
I thought, and I hud no idea but that he
would soon be well. It seemed impossible
to anticipate what followed.
One ar.crr.oon I went to the hospital, nnd
found all my patients apparently doing veiy
well. The day was very warin, and some of
them sat upon the steps, enjoying the bright
ness ami I eauty of the early spring. Fred.
S. was among these, and nodded smilingly
ut me as I passed into the building. 1 uus
carrying some little refreshment to a poor
wounded boy who lay at the extreme end
of the church, and when I returned I obser
ved Fred, at his berth wutiliing forme. As
I came near him he began reluctantly to pre
fer a request.
"1 have some li tters I want answered.'' he
suiil timidly. "They have laid for sonic
time unanswered, ami the folks nt home vtill
be very anxious. If it isn't too much trou
ble 1 am so nervous yet 1 would like 1
hate to trouble you, but
1 saw his hesitation, and came cheerfully
to his aid. "To be sure, 1 will write as
many as you like, and no trouble nt all," 1
answered. "You shall dictate, and 1 will
write for you, just as soon us 1 can get the
materials."
He thanked me gratefully, nnd looked so
relieved, as I started for my portfolio, that
1 felt the liveliest pleasure in uirording him
this slight assistance. He was all ready for
me on my return, and I sat down near him
w hile he, armed w ith his letters, began to
dictate. Three or four ere written rapidly.
I was charmed w ith his tone and manner;
his letters were so hopeful nnd comforting
for those for whom they were intended. Hut
they wete very short. When 1 had finished
his writing 1 ptrl'orsncd the same service for
one or two others, and then carried them to
the office myself, teat fill of delay otherw ise,
nnd knowing the longing anxiety of the
friends far away w ho anxiously watched and
waiied for news from the absent ones.
W hen I went to the hospital at a later
hour, I found Fred, sleeping as peacefully
a a little child, with one hand under his
cheek. I knew his mind was at rest, and, !
with a sympathy deep and sincere, left him
to visit others in ditlcreut wards.
This was on Fridav, und that niuht a
most frightful storm visited l'adueah. I i nie and not leave me f" He replied tuecrlv,
. i ... ............. ... 1
wits nearly sull'oetited by soot from tho fall
ing of my chimney, and caught a severe cold
by the rain beating into a broken window.
Every metalic roof in town was lifted lroni
us piaee utiu iiirowu on uy tue violence ol !
tile wind. A large amount ot property was
destroyed, and a great deal of other injury
done.
The first glance from my window, as soon
as day daw ned upon that terrible night
showed me the hospital stripped of its stee
ple. I could ulso discover thut the windows
were broken, and at once hastened away,
tilled with fears for the comfort of the piiiir
sufferers in whom I took so deep an interest.
The first sound that greeted my cars were
moans of pain from even ouarter. Nearly
every window hud been shattered, the glass 1
inning upon aim cutting some, wniic many
hail been (benched with rain. The men
who had inllainatory rheumatism were stif- !
fering tortures, and amongst the worst eases
was Fred. i d. His right si.le from his .
shoulder down, was very painful; while his
throat was so swolleti anil painful Us to ren- j
der him almost unable to swallow anything.
I scarcely know how I got through that ,
day. A few days previously I had secured
uu assistant in the nelson of Miss Smith, i
who was faithful, good and kind. She
worked indelatigably, day and night, und
but for her, on that miserablo day, I fear
few of the sufferers would have had prompt
attention. Dr. D und his steward were
good and faithful also, but they were nearly
worn out. My cold now bcmin to show its
effects so painfully that I was forced to retire
to my room before the day was half over.
Alter two days of great suffering, I made
a hasty toilet and started for the hospital.
Dr. D. and Miss were huy ut the further
end us I entered, but the steward, on seeing
me, cume forward with a package, and si
lently placing the contents iu my bunds,
turned away.
1 looked and found them the effects of
poor Fred. S d. There were letters from :
brother ami sisters ; the pictures of un old
white-haired mother and father ; a noble,
inauly-loiiking brother, und descriptive
roll. One or two other little articles com
pleted the list of effects, und inv ryes filled
over them, (ionc so soon, unit i ubseut ! 1

Im trot lied, of w horn he hud apokt-n shyly
und timidly, yet with an evident desire to
grove Ida gratitude by his confidence ! And
lo ull ol these, after the Ittpae of but few
abort hours after the dictation of those cheer
ful letters, 1 must now write the words that
would fall upon their lovitqi hearts lik
blow ; "Demi I Dead !"
. I
1 rat.ied ho..,. .11 the .Recti, and with i

Later, i learned that hi. holi cry, during

Many whose letters-1 now hold in my
possession, as tokens of sympathy with my
labors, will remember little Frunkic Hrngg,
lite ooy ot ttlteen, w ho toiigltt valiantly in
the ranks ut. Donelson one of the bravest
of Jlirgis's sharpshooters, and whose answer
to my question in regard to joining tho
army was so well worthy ot record. He
replied to my question thus: "I joined,
Mrs. S , because I was so young and strong,
and because life would be worth nothing
to me unless I oifored it to my country."
1 low often have 1 thought of that noble
child's reply when I have seen strong, able
bodied men turning away from their duty,
reluctant to even admit they were called
upon, nnd contrasted his patriotism with
theirs.
Poor little Frankie! Far away from
every kindred soul, his blanched lips plead
ing but for one boon in his last hour. I
saw him die ! I can never forget the plead
ing gaze of the violet eyes, the broad brow
from which ringlets of light brown hair
were swept by strange lingers bathed in the
death-dew, tho blue lips giving out their
pitiful wail for "some one to cure for him,
some one to love him,'' in his last hours!
1 came to his side, ami he clasped my
hand in his own, fast growing cold and
still'. "Oh. Mrs. ij I am going to die nnd
there is no one to love me !" he said, sob
bingly. "I diil not think I was going to
die till now, but it can't last long; il'iny
sisters were only here; but oh, 1 have no
friends near tnc now, and it is so hard !"'
"Frankie,"' 1 said, choking down the sobs
I could scarcely suppress, "I know it is
hard to be away from our relatives, but
you are not friendless. I am your friend,
-Miss iSmitli mui tln kind doctor are otir
friends, and we will all take care of you.
Mi re thitu this, Hod is jour fiiend, mi I lie
is nearer to you now than either of us can
git. Trust Him, my boy, llo will help
you."
A taint smile stniguhil over the ptde,
suffering features, "till, do you think he
w ill C he asked. Then as he held my
huntls closer, he turned his face inure fully
toward me and said wistfully, "My mother
taught me to pray when I was a very little
boy, und 1 never forgot it. 1 have always
said my prayers every day, and tried not
to be bad. Do you think Uod heard me
always "
"Yes, most assuredly. Did he not promise
in his good book from which your mother
taught yo.i, thai He would always hear the
prayers of His children 'Ask and ye shall
receive.' Pou't von remember this? One of
the worst things we can do is
Hod's truth. He has promisee
to doubt '
and He !
will fulfil. Don't you fuel so, Frankie f"
He hesitated, and then un.-weicil slowly,
"Y'es, 1 do believe it, I am not afraid to
die, but I want somebody to love inc."
The old cry fir love the strong yearniiiir
for the sympathy of kindred hearts. It
would not be put knw n, and his List hour
was bitter witli unsatisfied longing-.
"Frankie, 1 love you, poor little boy;
yon shall not bo left" a!l alone. Is not this
some conitort to you " I asked.
"Do voti love me? Will vou stav with
Oh, don't leave me
"I will not; be comforted, "
will stay as long as vou wish ;"
ing, I kissed the pale forehead
I said. "I
and, stoop
as if it had
brother. A
Ih-cii lliat ol my own child or
glad light flashed over his face, and he
cried out suddenly; "Oh. kiss me again'.
That is given like my sister! Dear Mrs.
S kiss ine again ! Miss Smith, won't you
kiss me too ( 1 don't think it will be as
hard to die if you will both love me."
Miss Smith bent over him to fulfil his
request, the tears raining over her honest
face. Then I sat down and drew his poor
little head against my breast. lie was but
a child, reader, dying iu a strange land,
amongst strangers, and pleading ainly for
the loved ones,
Could 1 do niiwhiug else ?
iiut why ask Sucli an action needs no
ex plana! ion or apology. No wonifu with
a heart to feel or pity could do otherwise,
It did not lust long. Whh his face
nestled against me, ami his large blue eves
fixed in perfect consciousness upon me' to
the last moment, he breathed out his young
life in the greatest agonv and pain. He
suffered terribly, ami it wiis with u feeling
of relict that iVuw the last spark fade, and
the t! lime nt f.ixfi.m im nut Tl ,! w i .I. ! 1. 1 ! n
years, with u man s thought and courage,
was at rest; and breathing a silent prayer
for those far uway who were waiting and
watching for news of the boy-brother, I com
posed the cold limbs and closed the beauti- j
iui eyes lor ineir eternal Milliliter, lie wus
buried in the hospital cemetery, ami a loving
comrade of his transmitted the sad news to
his fneuds. This tusk wits spared me.
GOING TO THE F!i:t.l.
My duties continued here till the battle of
Shiloh, then I left Miss Smith in charge and
went to the field in search of my husband.
Of that trip und its iueideiits 1 will speak
another time. Iu closing this I will sutc
that Miss Smith soon received some vuluuble
J'bitauce in the persons of some northern
ludies, w hoctime down the river to join their
uusoiinus, and remained lor some time ut
l'udllcah. I left, therefore, w ith less reluc
tance, felling enlightened to know thut loyal
heurls were beating over my friends. None
but secession women were there when 1 limt
entered tho town. When I finally went

The following reminiscence of Washington

"Forty years ago. n wealthy planter cume
from Florida or Louisiana, to reside in
Washington for a time, bringing with him
a son, a fine manly boy of thirteen or four
teen. At the levees of his father, which
were then fashionable, he received the
caresses of the ladies anil the encouragement
j of bc gentlemen that his age, intelligence
and his father's position nuturally elicited.
Of his family, none accompanied his father
besides this son, in his visits to Wiishintitor.
In due course of time the boy, on whom his
father's affections were evidently centered,
was sent North, and was there educated,

honorable standing in his class. On hi

by his father, who fostered and encouratred
it zealously, and readily consented to his
permanent residence there. He desired,
however, that his son should remain with
him here during his own stay. An appoint
ment was procured for him iis a clerk in the
War Department, and he entered upon its
duties.
Among the acquaintances formed at this
tiiiKi was a gentleman from Pennsylvania,
nnd the chief clerk of a bureau, who was
the lather ot a girl yet in her teens, lovable
in character, as well as very beautiful. Inti
macy begat friendship, and it was hardly a
matter of wonder that love should follow.
With the blessings of all they were married
at St. John's C hurch, in this city, it happen
ing to be about the first marriage that ever
took place there; and even now the long
rows of carriages, the fair dames and rich
attire, the music, the crowded parlois, the
splendor and joy w hieh crow ned the wed
ding, are vividly depicted by those who
treasure the tbronklcs of si defy ill those
days.
The young man's father had bought and
furnished an elegant house for his children,
and they removed at once to their own es
tablishment. .Not long after the marriage,
and while in the full tide of happiness, the
lather was railed home, und left -his son and
daughter, intending soon to ret urn. They
received no intelligence from him for week

w hen the son had just decided to go in
search of his father, a catri:ige dashed up to
the door, a young man stepped out. and.
follow ed by the sheriff of the district w alked
into the War Department, and before all his
companions, iu the broad light of noon,
arrested the son as the slave of his father!
The son tolcmnlv declared that his father
had manumitted him, ami that he had seen I
the will long since in which il had been!
done. 1 his outrage shocked the sensibility ;
"f even an allele slave community. Mr. :
; Monroe, then President, and others high in

Henry Ward IJeeelier is closing his fur

and most effective work of his lifetime. He
broke ground (as you are aware) in the land
of .lohn Knox, and like that great reformer
in Olasgowi, he spared no arrows.

Btirred up his associates in Manchester to
prevent any further hearing. The walls of
the city were placarded with coarse and
envenomed squibs that revealed the restless
malignity of the Confederate parly. The

famous by the massacre of Peterloo was

the breath out of the 7'W. and the oracle

Edinburgh Mr. lleecher had i splendid
audience and a cordial reception. He spared
Lord Ilrottgham, because of his years and
mental infirmities. The friends of the octo
genarian nobleman appreciated his forbear

reserved for Liverpool, the stronghold of
secession. The power of the antagonist we
measure by the means of resistance and the
spirit in which they were employed.
It was the design ol" the interrupter'! that
Mr. lleecher should not be heard. Four or
live columns in the Liverpool journals prove
that, single-handed, he mastered the oppo

throw the mind of the speaker into confii-

in his speech. The telling facts, given in

The name of the slaveholders' barbarities is
"Legion." A recent number of the New
Orleans Km describes some instruments of
torture which were discovered by Colom
Ilcnks in the course of his investigations
among the plantations. First among these
was one found uport the neck of a young
woman, where it had been placed for life
by order of her owner. It was an iron
collar, made to tit the neck, fastened by a
screw, with three uptight prongs about
eighteen inches in length, to each of which
was attached a small bell. The "beauty"
of this instrument was that the wearer
could never rest her head upon the ground,
and the bells ktf her awake by their con
tinual tinkling. The next instrument was
il heavy iron collar with a gag attached,
the gag coming up from under the chin
into the mouth. Tho next, a piece of iron
armor to bo woni on the leg, cuiisiiii; the
wearer to limp at every step, und effectually
preventing his running away. The next, a
ring w ith an iron bar weighing sixty pound,
the man who were it beiu,; compelled to
keep up with the other hands i i the field.

HUMOROUS.
ltoessliel.) on Women, llorse, etc.
The moment you give a woman charge of
anything that will do any work, thut very
minute that very woman begins to drive that
working thing to its very utmost capacity,
be it an animal or a machine; and tlio
chances are about equal that she'll drive the
nniniid to the veive of a quadrupedal grave,
or break the machine into shivered splinters
in the attempt to make il do three days'
work in twelve hours.
Kvery person who has ever observed a
human female driving a horse, will perfectly
sympathUo with the idea that 1 here set
forth. Kvery woman who drives n horse,
not only drives that horse to the very top of
his speed, flogging him up hill, and whip,
ping him down hill, and thrashing him the
full length of every level, but she gives him
a sound trouncing every time he stops to
drink, under the wretched pretence that
j drink, under the wretched pretence that
j sliu ia trying ' keep the flies oil'. Let a
( woman, any woman for they arc all alike
I on this subject, and no one has any more
suoject, ami no one lias any more
sense than any other one undcistand that
Flora Temple had trotted her mile in 2.111,
and let that woman have Flora to drive for
a day. and she'd flog the life out of the
gallant little bay marc if she didn't keep up
the same speed for twelve or fourteen hours
a day :' and would, tho. minute her speed
fell short of twenty-five miles nn hour, w hip
tho blessed little . bounty till sho dropped
down in her tracks.
If a woman owned Flora Temple, sho
wouldn't hesitate to match her to run a,
race with an express train through a swampy
country, and would cut with a horse-whip,
the hide all off the little lnareifshe didn't
distance the locomotive.
There never was a woman vet w ho mould
or could drive a horse reasonably, and treat
'. linn properly. I don't know what the
j reasou is, unless women have conspired to
visit, on too poor beasts their lutur ven
geance for the ungraceful and unwomanly
appearance in which the horses are some
times implicated with the woman.
Here 1 will though iu base treachery to
my own sex reveal to the ladies of ' the
laud a terrible secret, that has heretofore
been kent by tacit consent of our masculine
j half of creation, population, and the census
I . i . . , ' ' 4 '
IL is mis ;
I "Every man know s in his heart, and freely
j admits to every other man, that a woman is
: never so ungraceful, so unfeminine, so un-
womanly, so ugly, so absolutely unlovable,
; as when on horseback."
i Mount a woman on a beast of a horse,
J and you instantly deprive her of all tender
i ness, all femininity, all the thousand peculiar,
! nameless graces of woman, and transform
her into a she-centaur something that few
men can love, and that no mau can admire.
You. young ladies, who desire to apply
an infallible test to Hie professed iill'eetion of
your lover, I can give you one : Appear on
horseback before tho man who says he loves
you ; if his ail'eetion is deeply rooted enough
to stand this aw ful trial, take him by all
means; for the manly love that still survives
the fearful spectacle of its loved object on
horseback, can never be shaken by any
subsequent earthly trial.
This is a semi-secret. All men know it,
iiut I believe it has never been communica
ted in this public and unreserved manner to
the singing sex. Since the first of January
last I have know n in my own small circle of
acquaintance of some twenty-four men who
have enlisted for life, driven to it only by
the disenchanting sight of their misguided
sweet hearts on horseback.
One of these unfortunate men is now in
the Insane Asylum, a raving man'w ; his
sweet-heart appeared to him not only on
horseback, but she was also wearing u nmn'

This episode has been long, tin) long, and
I now return to my original theme, about
women and machine work. Oivc u woman
charge of a locomotive warranted to run
forty miles an hour, and she'll hang n potato

ami in four hours she'll break the engine into

My, or rather her sewing machine cume
then succeeded four days of learning how to
make it go four days'ef the intermittent
presence of a woman from thu factory, w ho
was sent to "teach the machine" us the pro
prietors remarked, but whose mission on
earth it seemed to ine to be to drive inv dear
wife wild, and set her to breaking needle
on the machine.
The machine-makers of course sell needles
and everything used about their infernal inn
chincs. The woman that "teaches the ma
chine," I verily believe, has u beavv precent
age on all the needles sold by the firm. Tin;
woman would come; machine, under her
management, would run perfectly well.
Woman woi I 1 go away; wife would try to
make acquaintance with machine. Machine
would get restive, and, in u fit of spite, go to
work and break ull its needles, one ufter the
other also, would break some important
screw, or spring or strap, or band, or w edge,
or which Ilesult would be thus : Wife, in a
passion of indignation, headache, chagrin,
passion, impatience and spleen, would post
down to factory. I'p would come the in
evitable woman that "teaches the machine."
She would look at machine, who recognized
her as tm old acquaintance, and would smile
visibly from every ounce of its seventy-eight
pounds' weight. Woman would smile su
perciliously at wife, touch u screw on ma
chine with the tips of her dainty lingers, and
walk away. Machine wouhl go till right for
un hour or two. when needles w ould break,
also screws, also strings, straps, spriti:; and
bands then the woman, etc.
In four days, however, my wile (ha! lm!1
mastered the intricacies of the machine, and
is now its master; and the machine knows
it, und obeys her accordingly.
Hut in that distressing interval while the
machine sulked, she broke three peeks ol
needles, a bushel of screws, a gross and a
half of springs, and destroyed about a tnili:
and a quarter of leather belling.
Ho.wever, she has mastered it "it last, but 1
am not at all certain that the lust evil is not
worse than the first. .
In her triumph at having won a viet ny
over the obstreperous machine, she sews up
scams to the extent of four or live miles a
day.
1 have tried to keep her iu work. I have
bought twenty or thirty pieces of cotton
cloth, which she has inad'c up flannel, ditto
calco the same; woolen also; carpet also,
and oilcloth, even more also. We have had
the machine a month ; she has made n.c
shirts enough for a regiment of Zouaves in
active service; she has made sheets enough
for a dozen first class hotels ; slit; has inadu
me so ninny pairs of pantaloons that she lias
got sick of them before 1 have had u chance
to try have of them on, aud has begun to
give them away to beggars; the amount
and description of garments siie has made
for herself could only be btated in J.hrcc
volumes.
Now. having made all the new garments
she could, she lias begun to make the others
twice over. Last Monday morning I found
my shirts sewed together "with a double sea:u
all around, so that 1 might as well try to gel
iuto tin unopened s.irdiue-bo.v. She has
taken in hand four babies, of ages ranging
from two to ight years, and has gone to
making clothes for "them. Sho has ma le
them so many gut-incuts that each one of
those unfortumitechililreti has to be undress
ed at least nine times in n af'.erno m, to try
on the products of our w onder sew ing ma
chine. I expect, every minute, that sho will make
a descent on my ucquariuni, and sew my
fishes' tai s togethi r, or fasten t'.C lobster's
legs to the breast fins of the eels. How cau
I stop her? I appeal to husbands.'
I have it : 1 will have some shirts made of
vulcanized India rubber if that doesn't
break the machine till to splinter I will buy
half-inch boiler-iron ; then, il all else fails I
will gi t a company of miners aud sappers to
come and blow tho house to thunder, w hile
we are both gone to the theatre.
