This was disappointing to both the lnds, for,.to tell the truth, the fair Southerner's brilliant charms had set their imaginations aflame. For three Weeks they lay to Kansas City, each day expecting the order to march, it was here that young Besant re­ ceived his first letter foom home—a joint composition of his mother and Grace Brentwood, which went far to .Tilin'* “ 1 i « Then you have not alvjyiyAJived'TTr time I lay on that cursed door-step, so I saw something o f the gallant fight yon made to save my life."- “ Well, don't linger on that subject.

All this Frank appreciated to the foil, and it did him good to sit down and write to those loving women at home a long rambling record o f his ad­ ventures by flood and field, though, strange to say, he forgot to tell them any thing whatever about Mary Las- celles and her perfections, which was inexcusable when we consider that up to that time he had hardly thought of any thing else. This budget o f home news warmed his heart so that ho thought he would share his gratification with James Law- son, who, he guessed, had no kind friend to keep him posted on the doings o f Meltonburg, but to his surprise he found that worthy yonng man sitting on the tongue o f an empty baggage wagon with a com-oob pipe to hi* mouth, leisurely perusing a letter which, judging from its bulk, ooutai&ed twice the matter o f hfa own, while a heavy toll o f Meltoobwg Weekly Ad­ vertisers lay at his feet.
