washstand, two wooden-bottom chairs,

was spread a newspaper on which lay

pill boxes and such stuff. The dying

And he proceeded to make his dying

we took them down in our memorandum

once happy and contented, and loved
Christ, my master, with all the zeal a
ristian ever had. At last I grew
cold in religion, selfish and envious of
the good fortune of others. I wanted
to make money uEd to have some fun.
I had no particular education, bo I tho't
I would be a Republican politician. 1
began by preaching politics from the
pulpit, and praying for tbe negro. Jt
paid me in money, but I lost influence
at the Throne cf Grace. But I did not
care for that if I could only have influ
ence with the Republican party. I for
got Christ, and became interested iu the
negro. I had influence with a few
members of the church, aud talked pol.
itics to them. I was paid by office see
hers to iufluenca C'hritians. Some
timcs 1 have made as high as fifteen
dollars at &n election for my influence
with Christians.
" At last I found politics paid better
than religion, and I worked for the
chaplaincy f a regiment and got it.
Then I let religion go, and went to war.
There I wrote letters homo, denouncing
Democrats as Copperheads And I
stole cotton, and silver-ware, and ic
tures, and books, and dre;ses tor my
wife and si.it er3, and hor.-es and mules
for my brothers, and a viaiiu fir tli

continued :
'' !5ul I was not happy. I drank
whiskey with the boys when away from

I want these things written down as a
