We were sitting in our room at the Glades Hotel,. in- Oakland, MI., with a charming lady who had dropped in on a visit, one of our windows looked into that of another room so placed by the pro jection of the main building, that half of its interior could be seen. We were fook ing at and admiring a little chubby, blue eyed two year old, white as snow,who was pulling a boquet to pieces and tossing out the fragmeuts,or clapping her little hands with delight as a train went thundering by. "These rooms," said our fair visitor, "have some very tender associations for me." "Why so ?" we 'asked "Well," she answered, "during the war the greater . part of the hotel was seized by the Government as a hosPital, and we were crowded. into a few rooms.' My sis ter and I had this. In that room where that little beauty is were. two Union offi cers, one sick of ft ver and the other of a wound. 'lt was hard to tell whether they were slowly dying or slowly getting well. I never saw a ich ghastly skeletons to be alive. We were "sect.h, ' and - not modest about it either, but still our hearts ached fur the poor young men, so ill, pe”haps dying, far from friends and relatives." "It bothers one to know how this should be a hospital," we said, "it is so far re moved from active operations." "It was thought," she answered, "that the mountain air of the glades would' be more favorable to recovery:then elsewhere so this was .made .a hospital. One day one of these officers dragged himself to the window, and under the impulse of the moment my sister asked if we could do anything fOr them, and he answered, gasp ing for breath, that a little chicken soup would save .their lives. Chickens were rare in those days—an army is bard on ponitry. The - men. will work all night, after marching during the day,lo secure a few chickens;- so that whilethe hospit al.nurses and physicians,had an unlimited silkily of actual luxuries- in the way of wines, potted meats ata canned vegetables they were `without anything fresh. We knew's' fay' chickens were - hid 'in the cel lar, by a neighbor, and we coaxed oils out of owner, and after a deal of Vex-: atious' trouble—for at every turn we were met by a , fixed bayonet and an . insult we got the soup ready, and as the guard in the hall would not permit us to approach our patients; my sister attempted to hand the bowl to the officer in the window.- 7 - Just as.he was feebly reaching for it, and she stretching herself half out to give it to him,a barsh,ugly voice below cried aloud, "Look out there—poison?' Sli6 nearly dropped herself, soup, and all. • Drawing back, she hesitated. a second, And then „she,took a spoon and began-eat ing the broth: "Oh! bother," -cried the officer, "don't wast it that way—l am not afraid," and so she gave him the soup.— It seemed to revive them, and they con tinued steadily to, improve as day after' daywe supplied them with chicken broth, until the cellar was empty. During this time we sat - at the whitlows 'talking, 'and .we sang. to them.—sang "]tip ;Maryland", and Smith* songs we knew un-. til they were Well ,enotigh to leave the hospital and. to return, ,to duty.

His companion wrote us about it, and the writer insisted upon opening a correspondence with my sister; and . soon his letters grew into love letters,and af ter a time they were 'engaged. Nearly a year subsequent td this our patient got leave of absence, and came to be married. He put up at a hotel, and, will you be lieve it, our own brother, who was in the Confederate service and`kami nothing of my sister's affair, led a band of guerrillas , at night into town and captured his in tended brother-in-law from his bed. This not only deferred the marriage, • but de prived the young West Pointer of his,pro motion, that had been .promised for, gal lant services in the field. It was really aggravnting, for eXchanges had `afinost ceased,and' it looked an if the loirers would have to wait until "this eruel war was over,' before they could be united." ' "You should have appealed to Abraham Lincoln to give a married, brigadier for au unmarried lieutenant." 2 "We did better. Procuring passes, we went through the lines /and appealed to Jeff Davis. Jeff said, he would put my brother's prisoner in his sister's keeping. They have been happity, married these many years.

'As we stood there;there appeared on the lauding at the boat house, a' little •fellow, "kuee high to a grasshopper," who wanted to know—in a voice worthy of a man— which boat he should take.

The question as to which boat he should take was put to Mr. Martin, his father, who directed him to take the little Lena; we believe a graceful boat, large enough to hold a par ty of four or five conifistably. As the little boatman stepped into the Lena a•series of 'qtiestions were put to his natural protector, who was playing with the fishing line. , : ,„ "Why,Aloes,that little fellow go out on the ereek alone?"

Crossing from Brooklyn to New 'York on a ferry boat a few days ago, we observ ed a pale, delicate. : unhealtliy-looking little girl trying ; to, pacify a sickly, cry ing,_dying infant. For a little time we were competely puzzled in conjecturing whether the little girl was the mother' of that dying infant or not'. And yet she handled that baby with something of the air that a mother only can rightly. man ifest: Being curious to aseertiain the truth of the matter, we made free, with endless apologies; to_ask_thatgirLif_she_ ware really the infilift's mother. With somewhat of color raising in her, pale cheeki, and a mother's pride, she said, "Yes, sir, this is my Heartily and very sincerely did we pity that little' girl.

The basement is provided with tables and other arrange ments, necessary to' prepare a repast or dinner, at largemeetinga for the members and all others present. ' There are two doors, one intended' for tier Sons• to pass in to the tables, and the other for them to pass out. • This proves to be an excellent arrangement. The plan of the meeting house is with the front' on the long side'. Two doors en ter, one for the brethren and the other for the sisters, and the house is about equally derided for - both sexes.
