The duties of the.se youn-.-terrf were
to convey jiowder ciarye.s from the
magazines to gunners in trenches or to
ai.st in like manner on the lio.-aine; bat
teries which annoyed the federal gun
boats in l.ie Mi:-si.-ii"oi river.
Two of the.-e lirtle fellows, who had
fallen iiuo the hands of the enemy, w.-re
tn-at.-l with tin- dignity due prisoners of
war, ai.d coiieijiwn; ly found tii n.'selves
hundreds of miles away from homo and

Morrison, whu ' cominturV-.l the iott.
To make their imjii ionment h r-s ardu
ous he made tiiein hi ; oiice orderlie.-v,
and sent them on the hundiv'ii of e.-.
rauJs which a comma ti im.ar flnt.-f
a daily necessity in the di.-,ciiare of his
duty.
The little fellows v ere true patriots,
and no persuasion or punishiaent cmUd
dissuade tlu-m from tiiecau.-eof riiea
fathers. It was throuyii tiiein that tii
hero of this st, .ry accomplish d las de
tiiirns. The boys i.a t ai c-ss at ail times
to the colonel's, ouice, likewise the adju
tants desk. Due m.-;ht they were bidden
to steal from the adjutant's desk a lot 0
blank pas.-ports.
But what good were passports to a
soldier whose try uniform forbade exit
from the inner stockade of the prison,
might be asked. Fortunately, however,
in the prison there was a sutler who pos
sessed all the venality characteristic of
his cloth.
Among the prisoners in Camp Butler
there were several confederate soldiers
who were the sons of wealthy parents and
occasionally received money from home.
From this element a general fund was
collected an 1 appropriated to the use of
the plotters for deliverance. With the
Butler, whose loyalty to the American
dollar exceeded his lidelity to the Ameri
can Union, it wa-s an easy matter to
smuggle in a suit of citizen's clothes now
and then.
A FEW GO AT A TIME.
On visiting days hurdreds of people
from the country around would throng
to the post to look at the fiery rebels.
They were shown, under tlie escort of a
guard, through every part of the prison,
and on several occasions these parties. In
eome unaccountable way, would number
one or two more on coining out than
they did on coming in. Each individual,
however, displayed his passport, to the
guard at the gate, and retired unques
tioned from the portals of the fort into
the loyal prairies of Illinois.
Had the guards counted their guests
nion their arrival and departure some
startling surprises would have resulted.
On one occasion two confederate officers
escaped by the guard with forged passes
and had taken seats in a carriage which
was waiting to serve visitors at the gate
of the fort when Colonel Morrison him
self came out and, addressing them,
asked if they had seen all they wanted
to see.
"Yes, sir," replied one of the fugitives
suavely. "They are a hard looking set,
nin't they, colonel?" At the same time
he was so alarmed that his tongue al
most refused to articulate.
By this process half a hundred Con
federates were released from custody and
returned to their commands in the field.
Tlie reader must not imagine that these
men were not missed by their guardians,
for after every muster the guards were
.i,.i.iu.i ami manv commissioned and
UUUUiu '- J
lion-commissioned officers relieved, it be
veered that thev were responsible
for the mysterious disappearance of the

which the human contents of that noto-

made, and a committee was appointed

Sunshine.
Light is necessary to health. People
who live in gloomy places, say state
prisons, for example, are always pealdsh.
Owls affect the twilight and the dark,
and what miserable mopes they are.
Eagles love the sunshine, and how strong
of wine, they are and how exultmgly
they soar. It is true that 0110 may have
too much sun, but it is cheering to se,
the sunlight, even when it is necessay
to sit in the shade. How it enlivens us
in winter, exhilarates us in spring, en
hances our appreciation of the shade in
summer and charms us in gloric us au-

put lefore him; after which banquet he
returned to his mountain perch, inured
once again to comparative privation.
