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

abou: the draft commenced, and people

talked much with his wife and daughters
about it, and they, divining acd secretly
laughing at his tears, advised him as to his

really imagining there was any probabilay
of his being drafted.
Still he declined and dismay made a fa
