The Story of u Hlug—Uuc of the Roman ces of the Lute War, From the Kansas City Times ] In the v>i 1861 a young man, then liv ing a few miles from this city, went into the Missouri State Guard as a soldier. At Springfield, and on the reorganization of this branch of the army, lie took service as a Confederate. Afterwards he joined a company in Col. Up. Hays’ regiment, arid participated in the battle of Lone Jack. Bes« re leaving home, however, his moth er gave him an old-fashioned gold ring, "hich bad a heart upon it, and the letters *‘R. S.” engraved upon this heart. She placed it on her son's h and with a wish, or rather a prayer, that he might go through the war safely, and get safely back to his home again. It is not known that either the ring or the prayer acted ap a ehi.rm. bur the young man went ul harmed through many bloody fights, being hit in but one of them, tin* wound then proving to be only a mere scratch. In 1804 the young man was very sick of a fever at Clarksville, Texas Duri'g the delirium attendant upon it, and while he was Kissing to and fro, the ring slipped from his finger and was hist. The oloeesc search failed to find it, and it given up for good There waited upon the young man, however, a very pretty and amiable girl, who seemed to fie sorry when lie got weli enough to rejoin his c unmand. When he left her he laughingly told her that if she would find his ring, and ho lived, he W"uld come back and marry her. If this promise was made at first with any degree of sincereity, if was soon f Tgotten in the excitement and care of a soldier’s life, and only at rare intervals, perhaps, did he re call the sick room and the minisieiing angel. When the war was over the young man returned to his father’s farm in Jackson c mnty and went to work in good earnest. Two years ago hi« in *ther died and once mro ihe loss of the ling came bock to him with redoubled sorrow. He determined to write to the lady who had nursed him. and to inquire of her whether she was married or not, and whether she had ever,seen or heard anything of the present his mother had made him. The letter was written in Augnst, 1860, and in March, 1870, what was his surpri-e to receive an answer from the identical girl he had leit in 1864, and to whom he made a light promise of marriage. She was s ill single, -he said, arid waiting for him. And what was stranger still, only five days be fore she wrote, she had found the lost ring Tne manner of finding it was as f.Jloug; Ihe father of the young lady had deter mined to make Rome repairs in his Ivyse, which lepairs neee-sitated the taking up of the floor of tliß room in which the soldier had been sick. After doing this, and while digging away some rubbish beneath, ihe workmen came upon the ring. It had slipped through a crack in the floor, and had been lying there, safe and sound, for nearly five long years. The lady took P' sses-ion of it at once, and wrote immedi ly to its owner as we have stated above. Perhaps she lot ked upon its recovery as an omen, and perhaps it was. At any rate it was a little romantic with all its attending circumstances. The correspondence thus commenced or «\KhtT renewed, was continued with an ever increasing ardor on ttie part of the gentleman, until in the end he made anew and tmieiu us offer ui marriage. Without that the story’ Would he incomplete. Last week, with memy in his pocket. a good h one in Jackson county, and a> great hap— p in his heart, this you ig soldier— uow somewhat older and more settled and and sedate—started f r Clarksville, Texas the home of his betrothed Who can doubt the resuii ? He will probably remain there a month, and return again to Mi-sou i with his bride. When he does we |j* anise to give his name. Until then it is impassible, f r the Condition o* *eor»tty was attached to t'.e int. rmation before we cojld obtain it The cirt umstahees. however* are just as we have narrated them in every p-r icu.*r, and furnish another to the long Ist of r miamic incidents that h*ve grown out of the war.
