Frit/; laid bis .sack upon the ground, slipped into the tent chamber, and seated himself in a large arm chair, which appeared to him uncommonly easy and comfortable. Exhausted by the severe walking of that day; and more so by nervous excitement, be soon fell intfjo.- sound sleep. In this condition the general found him, when, after the space of: half an hour, be entered the chamber. He left him sleeping quietly ai.d step ped softly into bis tent. When Fritz was forgotting care in the refreshing arms oi sleep, the gen eral was active in .bjs behalf lilI 1}c: had hufitctj pp ilia jilll -serjgt^i\t, M la - tili] Bolleijiiiun, jijij the l}rup Joiibe^g regiment Without <lel:iy be ordered Boiler man's prcsancc at supper. He also; invited some lew superior oflicers, nnd did not forget to impart some extra orders to the cook. In those days supper was eaten ear lier hi the day than now. The guests assembled at an curly hour and seated themselves at the table. Not a few of them were suprised to sec an orderly, in an orderly's uniform, at the table of a general. But the most surprised was Sergeant Bollernian himself. The moat remarkable thing on the general's table was a large covered tureen, which the guests supposed to contain a very costh* and delicate dish, as they wero casting many a wistful gl?uce at it. The general naturally enough no ticed their curiosity, but did-not make the least mpvo to sntisfy id r ? 4 - Q lie smiled when he glanced at the disli and exchanged occasionally a significant lopk, with bis adjutant, from whom no one could discover anything, since the secret Wns confin ed to those two. Curiosity now'term! hated in the highest surprise. At lust the general bade the ser geant uncover the tureen,so here all eyes were intently fixed upon the secret dish. What did they behold ? Potatoes in the skin, which, indeed, appeared neat and appetizing,and yet disappointed tiri no/small clegjfoeKlrt)* pampered tastes of tliV*gSfcits,'whorftnn* expected something entirely different. The only one who was heartily glad was Sergeant Boilcrmajn, who eoyjjj, scarcely- restrain lrimsclf frorn givirg some expression to his pleasant stir prise. 'Until now, gen ll em en,' observed the general, while a p'ciisautsmilc was playing upon bis face, 'till now you have been my guests, heticefoilh, if you wish to partake of those fine pota toes, you address yourself to Sergeant Bollci'inan. They are his.' ? . The gentlemen shrugged their shoulders. However, the general seemed to worry himself in no way nt this decided mark of disapprobation on their part. 'If you only knew in what manner I ho potatoes came into camp,' be con tinued, 'you would think it to your honor to get even one of them.' 'How so? How did that come lo pa.-s?' asked the gentlemen. ?Please narrate the circumstances.' 'I? Oil, no, gentlemen. I am a poor hand at telling a pretty story,' replied the general. 'But since I have observed that yourselves as well as our excellent Bollerman, have been somewhat an noyed by curiosity, I shall endeavor to salis'y your curiosity in another ^vay\"5 ;Mi6'??

The heart of old I3oUcriMan now beat almost to hoisting, and faint forebodings of the truth seemed to dawn in his mind. After a moment's pause the curtain which separated the chamber from the ante-room rose, and in enters, led by the hand of the adjutant, and survey ingOwilhiiS el&tf^JtVf fearless eye, ?WWW,,? , 'Fritz! exclaimed the sergeant, forgetting all respect due his superior ofliecr.and rushing with open arms to wards him, 'Frit/.! for Heaven's Mike how did you get here ;' The boy made no reply, but tumbl ed with a loud cry into his father's bosom. Both were held in each other's embrace for a long time. The ofliecrs were deeply moved spectators jofjtho scene, and even from the eyes of the general, who was a kind-hearted and good timn, there fell a tear of joy and sympathy. His friendly iutcrfcrancc finally separated the lather and son, and in some de gree calmed their excited feelings.

After the lapse of half niV hour, I the general returned and presented the brave old sergeant with it note 01 dismission in one hand, and a purse I filled with gold in the other.

'My God ! general,.your grace is too kind tu me,' stammered out the de lighted orderly, who hardly knew at which he should rejoice the most, the condescension of the commanding jofliccr, a.t-. his pension, or the wealth of Iiis (rettY Soldutcufritze.

A Nj-:oko\s FiituHT.?A letter from Norwich, Conn., to the Hartford Tun? co'n tains the following story as told by Qjeargo '\V. Fuller, a submarine di vei^?Vlio is now in the foi iner city : "While performing some work for' 'Uncle Sam' in one of the southern ports, where it was customary for those who supplied the market with early garden truck to load their boats and row them around to the wharf, it happened that one day a burly negro loaded his boat with watermelons, and had just reached the dock where the usual number of loungers stood watch ing the operations of the diver. The negro, till unconscious of his situation, was zealously endeavoring to dispose of his cargo, when Fuller suddenly enVergfd, helmet first, from the water, thrusting his goggle-eyes and ugly head before the astonished occupant of the boat, and seizing one of the largest of the melons, sunk immed iately, darkey, with a yell and a 'bound, reached the dock, and neither slopped nor turned until he reached home with the tidings that 'do dcbhlc had ?fiscntcd de melons and was taken 'urn clown." - - ?
