[ A Pike County view of Special Providence.j
I don't go much on religion.
I never ain’t had no «how j
But I’ve got a middlin’ tight grip, Sir,
I On the handful o’ thing. I know.
! 1 don’t pan out on the propheta
And free-will and that sort of thing—
But I b’lieve in Clod and the angcla,
Evei aence one night last Spring.
I route into town with aome turnipa,
And my little Labe came along—
No four-year-old in the country
Could beat him' for pretty and atrong.
' Peart and chipper and aasay.
Alwaya ready to awear and fight—
And I larnt him to chaw terbacker,
Jeat to keep hia milk-teeth white.
The auow come down like a blanket
Aa I pasaed by Taggart’a atore,
I went in for a Jug of motaaaea
And left the team at the door.
They Beared at. something and started—
I heard one little squall,
And hell-to-eplit over the prairie
Weutteum, Little-Breeches and all.
Hell-to-split over the prairie I
I wan almost froze with sheer;
Rut we rousted up some torches,
And sarched for ’em far and near.
At last we struck horses and waggon,
.Snowed under a soft white mound,
Up sot, dead beat—but of little Uabe
No hide and huir was found.
And here all hope soured on me.
Of my fellow-critters’ aid—
1 jest flopped down on my marrow-bones,
Crotch-deep in the snow and prayed.
* * • • »
By tliis, the torches was played out,
And me and Isrul Parr
Went off for some wood to a sheep fold
That he said was somewhar tbar.
We foifnd it at last, and a little shed
Where they shut up the lambs at night.
We looked in, and seen them huddled thar.
So warm and sleepy and white.
And thar, sot Little-Breeches and chirped
As peart as ever you see,
“1 want a chaw of terbacker,
And that’s what's the matter of me.”
How did you git thar? Angels.
He could never have walked in that storm.
They jest scooped down and toted him
To whar it was safe and warm.
And 1 think that saving a little child.
And bringing him to his own,
Is a denied sight better business
Then loaflng around The Throne. j. H.

LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
BiuBch Battle Field, 11th. Mo.,12, ’70.
To the Editor of the Journal.
Esteemed Friends I left Richmond on
the loth, stopped one night at Louisa Court
House,then proceeded, arriving at the ill-fated
. Manassas last evening, which Flnenix like
has again become quite a place. With private
team awaiting, took passage to the present
spot of writing. To-day, with a guide en
gaged in the contest I have visited the spot of
each scene of conflict in the first great battle
of this place. In rainy weather the stream
here tukes such a sudden rise and the water*
come rushing down with such a roar, hence
its name, Bull Run. While seated on the
very spot where the famous black horse cav
alry met with such fearful slaughter, I remem
bered the law of philosophy ‘‘that action and
reaction are equal in opposite directions.”
Evidently since the terrible din of the cannons
t roar and musketry of that day, nothing has
disturbed the solemn stillnes of the place save
the silent plowshare and pruning knife. We
found many relics of the war on this spot,
and many human bones are still bleaching in
in the sun upon this field. My guide was in
an Ohio Regiment and were I to record all
that he says he saw, in detail, it would weary
you and I think you would agree with me that
he saw too much for one man. The house
and trees in the vicinity, however,speak very
truthfully of the hard knocks received. One
oak had a hole directly through the center of
its trunk—probably a six pound ball passed
that way. I visited the house where a wo
man was killed, in her bed by a cannon ball,
she being sick at. the time.
The day has been one of the finest, and I
have walked many miles, tracing the track of
the army from Centerville along the War
rington pike to the scene of combat and lis
tened to many minute discriptions of the va
' rious positions and work of the contending
forces.
With this account you will believe me when
I say I am too tired to write much, to mutt
beg to be excused.
With the kindrst regards, your friend,
Sahcel H. Jonas.
