Scarcely a man in the country took its misfortune more at heart than Inertius Meekieg did—when came the Presi dent's order for drafting. Mr. Meekleg was never a mail of war or warlike words, but be prided himself upon betne a native-born American citizen and (in limes of react', at least) teemed grateful to the country in itance of more than a hundred thousand dollars This had given hint a good matt in some mercantile hostiles+, and had in— creased itsett,inotwithseanding tits lack of energy. At the age of forty, he found himself in the year 1862, possessed of a plum? and patriotic wile arid two grown up spirited daughters, Allegro, and Penelope, and a hundred and forty thousand dollars worth of property. He approved of the war liked every energetic movement, and favored the idea of the first call for three hatotred thous and volunteers. But he steadily declined to go himself, notwithstanding the fact that his wife and daughters urged him to do so, and that he did not live on the happiest terms with Mrs. Meeit:eg, who urea Whin provoked at him, because he had not more of what eallei "backbone." And when the alarm abou: the draft commenced, and people li able to be drawn found they could not de— , sert the country at will, the condition of thin its, to use a vulgar phrase, " knocked him." Never hefore to him had the Uninn seemed to be on the eve of dissolution. He talked much with his wife and daughters about it, and they, divining acd secretly laughing at his tears, advised him as to his patriotic duly more strongly than ever, not really imagining there was any probabilay of his being drafted. Still he declined and dismay made a fa yarns cushion at his fat face. The evil days had now drawn nigh, when he could truly say be had no pleasure in them. lie found no person to give him - the least en— couragement to stay out of .he army, and he could not honestly make a plea of ne t cessity for so doing. This was an unpleasant oredicament for a man who had always felt. independent and lived at his ease. The idea of his be ing obliged to give up the comfort* of borne and go and be a soldier, suffer privations, and get shot ! The idea !
