Wounded.
“Six hundred and forty-three wounded!"
“If that were allMy wife spoke in a sad
voice. “If that were all !”
“The return was given as complete,” I said,
referring again to the newspaper 1 held in un
hand. “One hundred and forty-one killed,and
six hundred and forty-three wounded.”
“A fearful list; but it is not all,” my wife
answered. Her tones were even sadder than
at first. “A great many more were wouudeil
—a great many more.”
“But this is an official return signed by the
commanding general.”
“And so far, doubtless, correct. But from
every battle field go swift-winged messengers
that kill or wound at a thousand miles, instead
of a thousand paces, bullets invisible to mortal
eyes, that pierce loving hearts. Of the dead
and wounded from these we have no rej«*rt.
They are casualties uot spoken of by our com
manding general.”
I had not thought ol this; or, at least, not
with any realizing sense of what it Involved.
My. wife resumed:
“Let us take the matter home. We have a
son in the army. The ball that strikes him
strikes us. If, in the list of killed and wound
ed, we had found his name, w-ould there have
been no bayonet point or shattering bullet in
our flesh? 1 shiver at the thought. Ah. these
invisible messengers of pain anil death wound
often deeper than iron and lead.”
As she thus spoke my eyes were resting on
the official list, and I saw the name of a friend.
An ejaculation ol surprise dropped from my
lips.
“What?” My startled wife grew slightly
pale.
“Harley is wounded!”
“O, dear!” The pallor increased, and she
laid her hand over her heart—a sign that she
felt there.
“Badly ?” She tried to steady her voice.
“A ball through the chest. Not set down as
dangerous, however.”
“Poor Anna! What sad tidings for her!”
My wife arose. “I must go to her immediate
ly”
“Do so,” I answered.
Soon afterware we went out together; I to
my office, and she to visit the wile of our
wounded friend.
It is strange how little those who are not
brought into the actual preseuce of death and
disaster on the battle-field realize their appnl- 1
ling nature. We read of the killed and wound
ed, and sum up the figures coldly, almost, as if
the statistics were simply commercial. We
talk of our losses as indifferently as if meu
were crates and bales. I do uot except my
self. Sometimes 1 feel as though all sensibili
ty, all sympathy for human suffering, had died
out of my heart. It is, perhaps .as well. If w e
perceived to the full extent the terrible reality i
of things, we would be in half paralyzed states,
instead of continuing our useful employments,
by which the public good is served. We can
not help the suffering, nor heal the wouuded,
by our mental pain. But let us sec to it that
through lack of pain we fail not in ministra
tion to the extent of our ability.
When I met my wife at dinner time, her face
was paler than when I parted with her iu the
■norniug. I saw that she had been suffering
while I, intent for hours upon my work, had
half-forgotten my wounded friends,Harley and
his wife; one pierced by a visible aud the oth
er by an invisible bullet.
“Did you see Anna?” I asked.
“Yes.”
“How is she ?”
“Calm, but hurt very deeply. She only had
the news this morning.”
•»ls kIip irnimr f/i him
“There has not been time to decide which is
best Her husband's brother is here, and will
get as much information by telegraph to-day !
as it is possible to receive. To-night or to
morrow lie will start for the batlle-fleld. Anna
tnay go with him.”
“She appeared to be hurt very deeply, you i
say ?”
“Yes,” replied my wife; “and was in most
intense pain. Every line of her fare exhibited
suffering. One hand Wits pressed all the while
tightly over her heart.”
“What did you say ?”
“Not much. She seemed looking into the
distance, and trying to make out things seen
but imperfectly. If he were to die, 1 think it
would kill her.”
“Two deaths by the same bullet,” I said, my
thought recurring to our morning conversa
tion.
In the evening I called with my wife to see
Mrs. Harley. A telegram had been received,
stating that her husband's wound, though se
vere, was not considered dangerous. The ball
had been extracted, and he was reported to la*
doing well. She was going to leave in the
night train with her brotber-m-law, and would
be with her husband in the quickest time it
was possible to make. How a few hours of
suffering hail changed her! The wound was
very deep, and very painful.
It was nearly two months before Harley
was sufficiently recovered to l>e removed from
tlie hospital. His wife had been permitted to
see him every day, and to remain in attend
ance on him for a greater part of tbe time.
“Did you know that Mr. Harley and his wife,
were at home?” said I, on coming in one day.
“No! When did they arrive?” was the an
swer and inquiry.
“This morning. I heard it from Harley’s
brother.’,
“How are they?” asked my wife.
“He looks as well as ever, 1 am told, though
suffering from his wound; but she is misera
ble, Mr. Harley savs.
A shallow fell over my wife's lace, and she
sighed heavily.
“I was afraid of that,” she said. “I knew
she was hurt badly. Flesh wounds close read
ily, but spirit wounds are difficult to heal.—
These invisible bullets are almost sure to
reach some vital part,”
I met Mr. Harley, not long afterward, in
company with his wife. His eyes were bright
Ins lips firm, and his cheeks flushed with’
health. You saw scarcely a sign of what he
had endured. He talked in a brave, soldierly
■■Kuiui'i, nnii anxious ior me tunc lo come
when the surgeon would pronounce him in a
condition to join his regiment. His wound,
when referred to, .evidently gave him more
pleasure than pain. It was a mark of distinc
tion—a sign that he had offered even life for
his country.
How different with Mrs.Harley! It touched
you to look at her dreamy, absent eyes—on
her patient lips, and exhausted countenance.
“She has worn herself out in nursing me,”
said her husband, in answer to a remark on her
appearance. He looked at her tenderly, with
just a shade of anxiety in his face. Was the
truth not plain to him ? Did he not know that
she had Iteen wounded also? That two balls
left tne rifle when he was struck, one of them
reaching to his distant home?
“In three weeks I hope lo be in the Held
again, and face to lace with the enemy.”
He spoke with the ardor of a strong desire,
his eyes bright, and his face in a glow—wound
ing, and the pain of wounding, all forgotten.
Hut another’s eyes became dim as his bright
ened—another's cheeks paled as his grew
warm. I saw the tears shining as Mrs. Har
ley answered, in an unsteady voice:
“I sin neither brave enough, nor strong
enough fer a soldier’s wife.”
She had meant to say more, as was plain
from her manner: but she could not trust her
self.
“O, yes, you are; brave enough and strong
enough,’ replied Mr. Harley, with animation.
4‘Not every one could have moved so calm
ly amidst the dreadful scenes of a camp hos
pital, after a battle. I watched you often, and
felt proud of vou.”
“If she had not been wounded, also,”—my
wife began; but Mr. Harley interrupted her
with the ejaculation,
“Wounded?" in a tone of surprise.
“Yes, wounded,” resumed mv wife; “and,
as now appears, nearer the seat of vitality than
you were. Did you not know this before, Mr.
Harley ?”
My friend was perplexed for a little while.
He could not get down at once to my wife’s
meaning.
“When you was struck, she was struck, al
so !”
“O, yes!”
Light broke in upon Mr. Harley. He turn
ed ijuickly towrard his wife, and saw in her face
what had not been seen before, the wasting 1
and exhaustion that came from dee|>-seated
pain. He had thought the paleness of her
countenance, the weakness that made her step
slow and cautious, only the result of over-tax
ed muscles and nerves; but he knew better
now.
4*I didn't tliink nf tlinf ’’ li« cowl
anxiety, as lie gazed into his wife’s counte
nance.
“Our wounds so ghastly to the eyes, often
get no deeper than the flesh and bone. The
pain is short, and nature comes quickly to the
work of cure with all her healing energies.
We suffer for a while and then it is over. We
are strong and ready for the conflict again.”
“Hut." said my wife, “into the homes that
stand far away trom battle-fields come swift
winged messengers that wound and kill as
surely as iron hail. They strike mothers,
wives, sisters—some with death wounds, all
with tile agony of vital pain. Alas! for these
wounded! The healing, if it follows, is never,
as the surgeons say, by tirst intention, hut al-'
ways slow, and often through abscess and ul
ceration. They must linger lor years, hut do
not lose the marks of suflbring.”
A long silence followed. There were others
present.who, like Mr. Harley, had never
thought of this. I noticed that for the hour
we remained together, he was tenderer toward
Ids wife, and more than oflee I saw him look- .
ing at her, while slie was not observing him,
with a troubled countenance. Ho did not I
again speak of the early period at which lie
expected to join his regiment.
On the day following, another long list was
given to the public. As I read over the names
and counted the number*. my thought came
back from the bloody field and suffering hospi
tal. “These are not all.” I said. “Alas! not
all. The hail struck twice, thrice—sometimes
nftencr. There is pain, there is anguish, there
is wounding, even unto death, in many, many
homes, within a thousand miles of that gory
place. Some are alone and neglected—dying
on their buttle field, with none to put even a
cup of water to their lips—some are with lov
ing friends who yet fail to staunch the flow of
blood, or bandage the shattered limb—some
cover their wounds, hiding them from all eyes,
and liear the pain in chosen solitude. The sum
of all this agonv. who shall give it?’’
Our wounded! If you find them all, you
must look lieyond our hospitals. They arc not
every one bearded and in male attire. There
sat beside you in the car, just now, a woman.
She left at the corner below. There was not
much life iu her face; her steps, as they rest
ed on the pavement, were slow. She lias lieen
wounded and is dying. Hid you notice Mrs.
—at church last Sunday ? “Yes; and now I
remember that she was pale and lutd an alter
ed look.”
One of our wounded! Do you see a face at
the window? “In the marble front bouse?”
Yes. “It is sail enough; what in-looking
eyes!” Wounded! Ah! sir, they are every
where about us. Already, from over a hundred
battle-fields and skirmishing grounds, there
have been sueli missives as pain and death.
They have penetrated unguarded homes in
every city, town and neighliorhood of our
once happy and peaceful country, wounding
the beloved ones there in hoped for security.
For such there is halm only in Gilead—God
is their physician.

FROM Kovrmbor 1st. PkS. to May 1st, 1*53. the
rates of freight on all descriptions of lumber

No Are wood will be couvevcd between October 1st.
1862, and May 1st. 1808.
An advance in the rate* of fire wood will take place
next summer, but in consequence of changes in the
arrangement for conducting tlte wood business, which
are about to be made, the Company will not be able
to take fire wood from certain places on the line, so
that should any parties make contracts for fire wood
to be carried on the railway during the next season,
they must understand that they willdo *oat their own
risk, aud that the Company will not feel themselves
bound to carry it.
Due notice will be given of the rates of freight, and
from what statious tire wood can be carried next
summer.
