One of Tillie's redeeming qualifi c cations was her willingness to obey e blindly whatever orders, however in comprehensible, her attractive new( mistress might choose to give; but < even this admirable trait sometimes 1 involved the family in curious diffi 1 lties. ) "Tillie,'' said Mrs. Nelson one - morning, "I have just ordered some lettuce. When it comes I want you to put it in the ice box right next to e the ice. The ice. See, Tillie, here I s on the ice. When the lettuce comes" " "Yaw, meesis,'' replied Tillie, - s seemingly with understanding, "imy s feex heem all gude.' It% was almost a week later when I the thought suddenly occurred to Mrs. Nelson, who had been somewhat t taken up with social affairs, that she .1 had had no news from home, nor in deed any other mail. She looked in the letter box, but it was empty. "Tillie,'' said the puzzled lady, going to the kitchen, "have you tak en any letters out of the postbox I lately?'' "Yaw, meesis,'' beamed Tillie, - rrushing to the ice box. '.'"My bring herm for you. My do like you told lily.'' And there, nicely packed away in a tin pail beside the ice, was the ae- t eumulated mail for the past four days, none the worse for having been< kept in cold storage.-Youth's Com- i Spanion.

By James Mitchel. Apil tie 14t1 fouiid us in line of battle behind tle breast works run niig fron Brock's cross roads to right or nortiea,;t of Spottsylvania. The yankee sharpshooters were still out in our front popping at dvery chance they could get at us. It. would seeni to a casual observer that every thing in our front was in tact and ready for baftle, but we noticed that the artillery firing had stopped along 0u front. In the evening- we were ordered over the works and across the field to the enemy's works. I began to feel spotted as we mounted our works and fle sharpslioiters popping at us, we expected every minute for (ie bat teries to openl on uIts, but not a gun except the sharpshooters. We sooni picked them up, they would not get out of t1heir pits. They had been left to keep up i feint until the armiy could get well on tiheir way before we could find it out. When we got to 1heir works we found them deserted, everybody gone. As sooln as we crossed their works we moved by the right flank and went down t heir works in fronti of Ile bloody bend. As we emerged from at body oft Woods into an openling- , wep cile ii reacli of a strong skirmish iine posted in the woods on , the otlier side of the field, the bullets began to conic thiek and3( fast and we were halted and a strong skirmish line was thrown out to (rive them out. While waiting on the skirmishes to find out if they had a line of battle in our front, one man by the name of Richey was wouinded(. lHe was standhing near a very nervous fel low ini our compjany who lost conitrol of himself. Heo ran and lay downi behind (lie paunich of a beef where the yanikees had butchered the day' before. Some of the boys guyed him and1 told him I o comec out froni there, but thle polr fellow w~as too much frighitened to niotice what was said. it wvas about sunidown and we kept tollowving them and( preing~ii t hem nutil some time in thle night. It was a dark drizzly night andl we hiad to shoot at the flash of their guns. They kep)t falling back aiid I remember I wanited to wait until daylight. I dlreadled to go ini battle at any time, but of all times deliver me fromi a Ihat night we stopped advancing and punt out a strong picket line. It camne my tiime with A. 13. C'romer, from air companiy, to go oni picket and on account of the hard fighting and rnarching for the past. week we were ill wvorn out for the want of sleep imnd two men were put oni at each iost to make it more secure, thinking hat oine of the two would slay awake. I remember t hat S. B. Cromier and( I were3 put oni post togethier ini a b)ody f w1ood wit.hi a hrannch runninge a View of Boyce ;treet, looking west f Caughrin Block wias built and the street long our front. We were on ole side to and just. on the other side inl the % woods we could hear tle liienemy's h pickets talking. We were cautioned (I to keep sharp look out, we knew that fo the eneiy were oI Ihe move and so Oieneral Lee wanted to keep ip with I them. Well, its I have already said, n we werle worn11 ont.

We sent tilp and I .down the picket line all found all tl the pickets gone btIIt eight of us who ,h had been overlooked by the man who t had passed around to relieve us. s Well, we did not know which way to go. We knew where the eiieIti was that nighit but we did not know where they were Ilow. We decided 3 to go bac'k where we lefl tle rei mIent that night and see if we could strike their trail. We fouind that k trail and everybody's trail goinlg every direction. We struck omit, we did Iot kiiow where. .Just aiywere, a probablY right in t) the lienmly's line.
