—A Touching Story.
There are many touching stories of the
war appearing in the Confederate Veter¬
an published at Nashville, Todd. One
ia the last issue reveals the fate of a
Georgia boy whose relatives, if living,
will read with interest the story. Chap¬
lain Norman Fox, of the 77th N. 1'., now
living at Morristown. N. J., writes as
follows:
“On the evening of May • 10th, at
Spottsylvaoia, under tbo leadership of
General Upton, a column of a dozen
selected regiments including my¬ own
all of the 6th Corps (Sodgoviek’g) mad o a
charge; and although the movement was
unsuccessful in the, end, they held for a
time a portion of the Confederate works.
Among the wounded brought to the
roar was a boy iu gray, Private Thomas
I. Roberts, of the 12th Georgia. We
lifted him from the ambulance, and,
having spread a blanket on the grass and
laid him oa it, I called a surgeon. A
minute ball had struck him in the groin
and but a slight examination was enough
to show that the wonud was fatal. He
was a mere boy and I can stilt see his
really beautiful face as he lifted his dark,
lustrous eyes to mine. It was little that
t cou d do ior Lina, but I spoke such
words of comfort as I could command,
Ho showed fortitude and cheerfulness
for oue in so sad a situatiou, and he told
mo of his triends at home, speaking also
of those from his own family circle who
had already beon killed in tho war.
While we were talking he asked for a
drink of water. I brought it, and as I
raised him to a sittibg posture, so ho
could drink, ho loauod his head forward
upon my shoulder and without a. strug¬
gle was dead. Wo could give him only
the rude burial of a soldier, but oyer his
grave was lifted the prayer that tho God
of nil ex mfort would tenderly snppport.
those i;>v away who would wait in vain
the return of the boys of thou love and
hopes.
Often since that night have I thought j
of that Houth -io soldier lad who died J I 1
actually in my arms, naif iu a mother’s I
embrace, and I pen this reminiscence
that poasaibly it may make known to
f'"ino surviving comrade or dear one
that iu hitj last, hour what little could be
done for him was tenderly performed.
More than one of those of my regi¬
ment who, being wounded, fell into (he
hands of tho enemy spoke afterwards
of kiudnesaas shown them by Southern
soldiers. Thauks, noble Confederate
veterans, for aols of tondorncss to Umso
whom tbo stern fortunes of war cast at
your feet. Your namoB may bo un¬
known to the mothers and sisters of
those to whom you showed kindness, but
their prayers have gone up tor yon all

Hunt Wheat.
The season is approaching for the sow¬
ing of wheat, In view of thv low prioe
oi cotton it will l>o well for our farmer
friends to turn their attention to other
crops, nud thoro is no other crop so
profitable as wheat, says tho Home
Tribune.
Not that we are unmindful of cotton
as a money getter. It is beyond ques
tiou the most important crop iu America;
it brings more money, actual cash into
the conutry than any other, but the true
policy tor our farmers to pursue is to
make it a surplus crop.
Be *nre first of enough broadstuffs ami
plantation supplies, aud then put the
rest iu cotton.
And next to cotton is wheat as a money
crop. Jt is oavily marketed, and always
commands a ready cash side.
If, instead of planting all cotton, our
farmers would plant half the ground in
wh >at, it, would pay much better. The
cultivation of the two do not materially
ooaflie.t.
The true policy to follow is undonbt
6by for the south to prodnos cotton as a
8u plus crop. $ armors should prodnoe
tti »ir supplies at home os much as possi¬
bly anil Consequently devote a portion
of their time and acreage to food crop's.
In that way cotton could l>e grown verv
eh aply, and would be profitable even at
I In' low prices which have ruled for 80V
er»l years past.

Is the most underrated duty iu the

one of the reasons why the reform¬

or too tired to be happy. And yet a
happy man, and especially a happy
