The Rcf/istcr has just had a call front an old
friend from Virginia who, !?y tlie war is a
Quartermaster. And among- the many, good
things lie told is the following hard hit at the
s Q M's., which actually occurred on the train
between Richmond ami Augusta :
At a point on the mini, it in not necessary to (
say -where, a colporteur came aboard \vi?h his j
avins full of religious renting for disirihuftpu I
among the.soldiers, aiimnn i lie passengers on
board \v.,,p a young soldier who iiati much of
the spirit of Mourns twinlcliiiir in the corners
of his eyes. . As soon as the colporteur made. '
his appearance at *e door of the ear the soldier
rushed to him, took. his hand ami. gave
liiin a cordial greeting: "How are you my
friend, how are you ?*' said lie, "I am so glad j
to see you engaged in this good work." It is
just what the soldiers need. Von, and such as :
yon are, have done an incalculable amount of j
good by the distribution of religious literature I
soch as you now hearaLnr yonr arms. irrtl am a j
member of the Idt'u Mvasi-sippi regiment.? j
They were a good set of fellows v. hen tjiey j
came ont> but alas I the temptations of the!
camp have been too inueli lor them, and now
they arc full of all wickedness ami immoraidy, ;
and ale sadly in need of reformation. 1 would
like to have some of those tracts to distribute
amongst llieiii. Ami ii you are willing, 1 will
help you now by distributing for you in ties
ear, while you go imo the oilier^."
The colporteur, plea-cd with the manner of
the young man, immediately ga\e him a goodly
portion Ql his burden, and passed out to |,i>
labors in another ear.
n The soldier then commenced the work ?.f
distributing. To.the first passe aire r lie c.-.me
to lie said, "ll?-rc is ;t tract oh *'"] iio \Y;iy < f
Salvation. Tlnit, niv, dear friend, 1 am sure
you need, for wo have all i*.oo 1 <h" solvation.?
'rake the tract an 1 read it, am! i am Miri' it
will do yon good.
Passing to the next one he - an!, "II ere is a
tract o"n Kcpcuteucc ? You look as ii yen
needed the instruction that is e<iunin?-d in
those pages." They are written lor just such
as yon. Take the hook ana - read it can-fully,
and may you profit hy -its instruction."
Thus-he passed on to sen oral other passengers.
At last lie holt! up one tract and said,
'Here.is one entitled 'The Dying Thief,' what
shall L do wit It it ?" Then looking over the
passengers, lie called oiit*"ls their any Quartermaster
aboard ?" No one answered, of
course. "Well," said he, "I will put it in my
pocket and give it to the conductor when he
coine6 through. Perhaps he needs it." and
went olf soberly with his good work to the intense
edification of the passengers.
