Among the mtiny which it was tin writer's privilege to pop over not lonjj since , none -cemcd more touching 01 beautiful than that "Legend of I'roveneo.1' ' which A < leliiide I'roelor has adornud In the lulling. In mero-t outline the storj is tins : On a height which overlooks thu purple. Mediterranean there stood year.- ttjro , as 10 day , tin white walls of a con vent which was called , from the deiiM and fragrantly blossoming woods whicl : fiiiiTouMileil it , "Our I/.uly of the Him- ' thorns. " The convent's b'cll was the sig- mil whicl ; bade all the country sh'e ' U rise , or eat , or i > ray before its shrine In : passed his vigil ; it strife entered into cot' tage or village the good abbess listened , prayed , and then MUtlnl all dispute ; the young brought their troubles hero and went away comforted ; pilgrim and beg' gar found tood. re.\t anil shelter here ; bill above all this , the nuns of the eonvenl we.ro renowned for Mdll in the healing art. Sweetest , merriest and bust beloved nmou-r them all was bisttu- Angela , tin "convent child"as they loved to call her , for she hud known ifo other home or levi ur kindred , and had been the child , plaything - thing , pupil of thu sisters , and tinall.v one of their number. It was her hand * that trimmed the altar lump , that were skilled to trace the finest embroidery and weave the costliest lace. But her lir.it and dearest care the task she wonll never miss nor share with others was to weave fresh garlands every day to place before the shrine at Mary's feet , for even wintei has its blo.s-imis in that fair region. In these simple duties passed many days of peace ; but at lasteame war < ii near to the convent gates that the fright- encd peasants lied within for shelter , And one niulit , alter a fierce skirmish , a straggling band of soldiers brought to the nuns their wounded and iljing com rades , for whom they half begged and half commanded the sisters' care , and then rode away. Compassion conquered fear , and tin ; good abbess summoned every ciistor to "do her part. Even the youngest had her task , and to Angela was given the care of a young ; foreign knight , wiiose wounds were painful but not dangerous. Day by day sno watched by his bed , till at last the fever Hod , and then to miicl his imminence and while away the hours so tedious to him , shetold him all her More of legends about the martyred saints , described the decoration of the altar at Easier and the pomp with which they observed the least days , the only events of the simnlo convent life. In return the knight tola her of his past life , the glories of tournament and joust , the fair Jadies , noble men and grand castles he had seen. Angela listened in ama/.e. Could this be the wicked "world , " at the very thought of which blio had been taught to tremble this place of joy nnil bliss ? She eros = ed herself in fear , and yet asked for more and listened still. The nnsusnecting nuns saw only that Angela went about her duties as before. They could not seethe dream of joy that lilled her heart even when she knelt to pray , nor guess that the net was being drawn closer and closer over their dar ling , At last the convent gate opened late one night and Angela , forgetful of her vows to heaven , passed out and lied with her lover knight. Alas ! too soon poor Angela a woke from her dream , and learned how worthless was the heart for which she had cast a way nor own , how slight and frail a thing the love for which she had wrecked her life , given till her hope , and bartered heaven. The noisiest mirth could not drown tlio whispers of regret in her soul , and a.s years lied she grow more and more reek- less , till fair dames drew their robes aside when she passed , and even tlio humblest peasant closed his door against her. At last a yearning stronger than she could control lilled her heart to sou just once again thu place that had known her young and innocent ; to lie once more bo- noatli the convent roof , and there to die. And so , weary ami worn , her heart lilled with remor.se and despair , she took tin ; long southward journey , her strength growing less day by day as she begged her way onward from door to door , till ono morning's dawn hhowed her the expanse - panso of blue , glittering waters , and tlio quiet cloister standing as ot yore in the hawthorn wood. There was no fear llial any one would know her faoo thorowas no trace of tlio pure and happy-sonlcd novice , Angola. She drew near and rang tlio convent boll. Tlio well-remnmbured Bound seemed to smite in her heart and she sank to the groun.l in an agony of unaccustomed tear.9 , Horangiiishclicckcil her breath and stopped her hurt , and with tlio thought , "Can this bo doathY" she loaned against the convent gate and prayed. Slio heard draw nenr tlio footsteps of tlio old portress , who asked 1 ho stranger's wish , and then In pity and sorrow bade her wait till she could bring thu key to unbar the gate , lint as she waited two heard i\ soft voice , nnd looking up bho saw another self , not as when she had lied long years before , but n grave , gentle juul serene woman , whom the outcast recognised as what she miirlit have boon. But oven as she gazed a strange radiance filled till the place , and instead of ( ho mm stood a liguro with a halo round its head and n face ot meek tenderness , Angela htrovo to speak ami stretched out her hands , crying ; "Mother of mercy , hold me I Help your child ! " Ami Mary answered : I'rora tliy hitter past , Wolooraomy child , eli , nrnli-imio homo nt last ! 1 Illicit tliy | .laco. Thy llljrht la known la none' .

Dayton was llio right Hani corporal of my company. No wonder hi \vits on the right llank , for he was bj long odds the biggest man in tliu regi nient. There were one or two win slightly overtopped his six feet throe am half in Ids stockings , but .they wen Mrindling , nerveless , narrow-chested fel lows , whom "Jerrv" could twi.st aronni his thumb if il came to muscle. Where Jerry hailed from oriirinally ] never knew. He enlisted in New Yorl in the sring ) of 181)2 , ami , 1 fancy , hail ni the time been swaggering about union ; the Bowery boys and living oil' the ad mircr.i of his inelVable good nature am' unparallelled biceps. But I have novel known to what section is duo the eredii of raising .so glorious a .specimen of tin lili.y.-ical man. Take it all in all. I believe .Jerry Day Ion was essentially the biggest man 1 oversaw. It was 1 who enlisted him whei 1 was at home in Xew York , during March , iSti' . ' , thu bearer of certain paper. ' to ( lovernor Morgan ; and when I touli him to the surgeon for examination I noted down all his measurements as ti matter of curiosity. Here they are : Kound chest , -I8J inches ; round slionl' dors , . " ) ' . ) inches ; round forearm , II inches : round biceps. 18. } inches ; round thigh , X inches ; round calf , 10 inuhes ; weight , lK ! pounds. I don't ' think any pn/.o-lightor ever on > tercd the ring that eouht beat that. Ami yet .Jerry was not fat. Ho was rather the opposite. When he was stripped , his muscles stood out free from adipose tissue , and showed their play when he moved like those of a thoroughbred after traininjr. Added to these , a bull-neel ; and a good looking , jovial face , hands like thu paws of n gorilla , but small feet for his si/.c , enormous length of arm and n slow , easygoing look , which betokened mildnors and honesty , and Jerry Uaylon gave ono the idea of a huge , inoflunsivu elephant. 1 have called Jerry's face good-looking. I'erhaps it was more the good humor which shone through its every pore from the amiable soul within Unit gave one this idea ; for Jerry was llusli ol lace and fearfully anil wonderfully freckled. He wore a very small yellow mu-laehe , which seemed to be all he could grow ; for , although ho never shaved , his' face was destitute of hair save on his tipper lip. Nature had evidently exhausted herself in putting together his frame and had nothinir lett for beard. Jerry never quarreled with any of his comrades. Good reason why. 'Jo begin with , ho was too gentle to 'tyranni/.o or bully , and altogether too burl > for anyone ono willingly to come in hostile contact with. I never know him to bo at odds with a single soul , lie moved about and attended to his own business with much the same kind of consciously superior indifference - difference that a Newfoundland exhibits among a pack of terriers. No matter how much the bovs teamed him ; no mutter how much thu terriers yelped at his heels , as , owing to his forbearance , they were very apt to do ho would for an in stant look as if hu were on the point of retaliating ; but then , as if feeliiijr that ho miiiht do them harm it ho allowed him self to got angry , ho would check his rising ire , and smooth down his bristling crest with a half deprecatory , half threat ening , "Now , boys , look out , and quit your t'oolin' ! " Dayton was a good soldier. To be sure , he had not been in action as yet and so had not had a chance to show his gal lantry ; but lie was obedient and attentive lo duty , intoiligenl and upright. Ho seemed sometimes to dislike to enforce orders when the men made any objection or resistance ; but this was only of a piece with liis own lenient impulses , and never called for more than a passing criticism. Take it all in all , ho was on the high road to success in thu profession of arms , though it had been taken up as only a temporary ono. Dayton was one of my favorites. Ho was always willing , nay eager , to bo of service to mo. Ho would volunteer his help whenever thuro was any work to bo done about my quarters ; and , besides his enormous strength , ho possessed steadi ness and aptitude at work in no ordinary degree. Ho was handy , too , in little things. His thiek , course lingers could so/.e hold of any little , delicate job as daintily as if they had boon as taper ns a woman's. Nor did ho ever seem to weary in olVering his services. Before I know I wanted a thing done Jerry would have started to do it ; and all manner of little conveniences , such as a sholtorof boughs in front of my tout , or an oven for my contraband to bake bread in , or a nice bunk , or a camp table and chairs , grow up around mo whenever wo remained a few days in one place , under the dett hand and willing heart of Corporal Jerry Dayton. As u rule , when men grow to such an enormous si/.e , they lose in stamina what they gain in weight. Liltlu or middle- si/.ud men , say of live foot live to live foot nine in height nnd weighing 120 to 100 pounds , nro generally able to march further , cany more weight and live on shorter commons than men who got bo- yoiul those limits. The greatest endur ance 1 have almost invariably been exhib ited b" smalllsjiaro men n'ot thin men who ( aok miiEclu , but men whose food goes lo nourish honu , sinew nnd muscle instead of turning into fat. But Corporal Jerry Dayton was nn ex ception to the rule that sl/.e and endur ance stand in inverse ratio to each other. In his case endurunco scorned to have kept pace with growth , nnd ho and our petit corporal of the loft llank ( a live foot two , 115 pounds Rtooimun ] ) vied witli each other who would first show signs of tlagging. But there was this diHoronco botwcon them , that the Brobdinguaglan could huvo picked the Liliputian up , load and all. and have marched olV with him , while the petit corporal could scarce have done the same by Jerry. Often have 1 seen the big corporal witli a half do/en imiskels and knapsacks nlnng in vauous fashions about his brawny person , which ho was carrying along for some weary comrades , and laugningat the idea of being overloaded , A might man was Coiporal Jerry Day ton : u mighty man of valor yet untried. Tlioro were two of his fellow-soldiers who did not holiavo in Jerry's courage , One was Ihc orderly sergeant , an old tol- dit-r himself , and the other a man who fipcmcd to have known something of Jerry's antecedents , though ho never gave any reason for his opinion Both acknowledged Dayton's good qualities in cauip and on tlio march , nut i- "You keep a goud lookout on him , looteiianl , fust squall wo git Inter , an' o Jerry Dayton don't run , then I'll go bcf his pardin for tliinkln' so mean on him Ef Jerry hadn't bj.n iijted he'd ha k'now'd too much to Iia'coiie nU"lislcd. ' -y u UlCVSl't ' jic was rtMtlly lame llnv day oiut after Ihc bnsliwliackor * lieutenant , " said ( he orderly , "but 1 vi always had n shrewd notion , ytat he wai lame nearer the region'of ids iTcari tlnii time. " All this I of eour e pooh-poohed , and , convinced that 1 wn as good a judge oi the man as any one t Ni , hrtld fast to inj liking for the corporal. If lie woill dn : tii'K to in in a light , 1 > aid , there wa1 Mint a man in the company who would Time , ho\\cd vhether 1 was right 01 wrong. It was at Fair Oaks. Wo had been lim ning forward lo the .support of CaM-y' ; shattered division , and 1 Was too bus.s t < keep much of an eve on auv partieiilai man. 1 had glanced at D.uton several times , but had noticed notfdng beyond the paleness of his face , and as pale face1 are not unusual at such times on tin bravest of men , I paid no heed to that. Our regimenl and one other , both nn dor command of Colonel Siradcll.i. had been iselected to proceed through Whiti Oak swamp , along an old abandoned road which Keainey had discovered thai morning , and take up a position so as tc tall upon the llank of the rebel advance , which , it seemed likely , would nrivi Conch's and Kcyc.- . ' divisions far back ti the river. Wo hud marched a good part of tlio distance at a dottlno qnicK , nnil ( hi met' were too bu y picking their \vaj along the rough path to devote more than half their thoughts to Ihe rattle of smali arms and sham artillery lire , whicl ; showed us but lee plainly how our men were being borne back. And thr rlitn ol the hurried march gave no time to tin dead beats and poltroons to skulk out ol the ranks. But finally wo reached the edge of tin swamp , and deployed into line behind n snaku feneo on the skirts of a wood , whoso underbrush .screened u * almost en tirely from view. Before ns lay an open clearing about a iiuarlur of 'n mile in breadth , across which wounded men limped or were carried to the rear , ami "demoralized" men wru falling back out of range Mngly or in squads , and in which , as it' the rebel artillerints well knew the location of iho clearinif , shells , were exploding and si-alt.Timr . their frag ments wllli that peculiar musical "ling ! ting ! " so familiar to men who have once heard it , and ever and anon onu of tlioi ! uncomfortable missiles would whi/ pai ns , and bo followed by an instantaneous ducking of the head by every one of our green recruits. But though 'thistis the Ijrst time our regiment had boon under lire , tlie men behaved splendidly. Cast ing my eye down the linoof my company 1 could see a decided majority of pale faces , but compressed lips , and not a sign of wavering , while one or two of the vet erans or the devil-may-cares would in dulge in a joke at their neighbor's paler , or a sneer at some cowardly fugitive. No ono had been hit as yet , but the prospect looked uncomfortably hot. All this time the infantry lire came nearer and nearer our retreating line , and the advancing rebels , with ever and anon u taunting yell of defiance , seemed to be approaching so as to present their llank as llio.y passed our-position. This was just what was exported and de.-ired , as unless they discovered us in time wo could take them in reverse and create a diversion in favor of our own forces , whose commanders had been al ready notified of our 'intended ' attack , and would co-operate with i . But all this is far fromlliepurpose , and we will now return to ( Corporal Dayton. A.s soon as our line was.formed 1 began pacing in ) and down in rear of my com pany 1 was in command speaking words of cncouragomunt'tO'thc men , and impressina : upon them the necessity of waiting tor and obeying all orders promptjyand ollicientlyv'above allthings cautioning them to reserve.their . lire until the right moment , whuirthey should receive - coivo the word. While thus engaged I turned toward thu corporal , and noticed that he looked as if hu were having a c.hill. lie was shaking as with an ague lit , but each man was infently watching the panorama be fore us , and only Ins clo = u neighbors seemed aware of his condition. But all at once there was a loud explosion above our heads , and in thu company on out right a yawning gap was rent. "Steady , men , steady ! It's nothing but a shell ! Close up your ranks"came ! from the ollicer.5 of the adjoining companies in as loud a tone as was prudent. And ono poor fellow lay doubled up on the ground , while a second was carried to iho rear. But after the first startled excla mation never a groan. This -yas the climax of Jerry's forti tude. The Goliath turned , and leaving the ranks ho slnggorod up lo mo. His face was ashy pale , while lingo drops of cold sweat stood till ovr it , and ploughed their way downward through the ilust and dirt. His frookies stood out upon hs ; pallid skin almost like spots of blood. His eyes were staring and purposeless , as I have seen them in the insane. He was trembling like an aspen , and the lingo frame absolutely looked small , so unmis takable were the signs of the craven heart within. "Why , corporal ! what is Iho matter ? You frightened ! ' Nons-inso ! Move buck into the ranks , sir ! " "Oh , lieutenant ! " Ho could scarcely whisper tlio words , for his month seemed parched with thirst. " ' 1 Ids is uwful , lieu tenant ! I can't stand it ; I know 1 can't. Do send mo to the roar somewhere before I disgrace myself , " hu mumbled out by starts , and between thu words lie made great swallows as if to ehoko down some thing in his throat , while at every ex ploding shejl or discharging lieldpioco ho shuddered like a guilty mini , "Nonsense , corporal ! Move back Into the ranks. Everybody feels so at In-nl. You'll bo over it in a few minutes , " 1 added , as kindly as 1 know how , for I could just thun appreciate a part of thu poor fellow's trepidation. "Oh , lieutenant. 1 can't ! 1 know I can't ! " pleaded Jerry. "Do lot mo go back ! Do lot mo go help that 'ore wounded man. I can't , indeed I can't , " reiterated ho. "Oh , my ! " This last was jerked out by another shell , and my pout corporal fell out of the ranks a step or two , witli his arm shattered and bleeding ; and , holding up his broken gun In the ntlimvwith a smile on his faoo , which all the time was twing ing with tlio pain , he said : "My nmsket'a gene , lieutenant , and so's my arm , but 1 guess I'll stay here with the file colors. " "Find your way back to the roar , my boy. Surgeon Colt is not far back. You can't go on or bo of any use witli that arm. " Then , turning to Dayton , who looked helplessly on : "For shame ! " said 1. Move back into tlio ranks , you cow ard , or your life won't l > u worm a pin's purchase ! " with an ominous movement toward my revolver , All this time the tiring came closer and closer , and the stragglers grow in num ber till Iho groups numbered twenties and fifties. Itegimunts and brigades seemed all mixed tipinono-hutorogcncous mass. Our troops soomcd to bo lighting with much less regularity than the enemy , the rattle of whoso musketry was con tinuous. But frcsli union regiments wore coming on the Hold , and n line was being established facing thu clearing , and al most connecting with our own , which promised to make n stand. But our surprise was not successful. The regiments of tlio rebel llank became aware of us before they had fallen into our trap , and changing front forward tlioy opened lire. This was our lirst ex perience in an infantry light , but the men Mood.lt evidently better than Iho shell ing. N < vole o explosions , no noisu except a "ohtokl chick ! " as the balls cut through the leaves beside us , and'these were soon drowned in the rattlu ot our owu mus ketry when the order was given to lire. The men were o busy loading and lirlng that they had JiUlo leisure to notice the occasional falling together or dropping out of a killed or wounded companion , i\o inniiT was the rebel lire opened iiiion IH than it was till up with Jerry , lie was right ; lie could not stand it. lie had moved back into the ranks in obe dience to my orders , but at the HrMol - le.V from the rebel line ho seemed to lo e hiM < M ( < S. He crouched together like a hare , turned and was creeping to the rear. But I intercepted him with mj re volver cocked and pointed. "Corporal Dayton , your only chance of lile is In the ranks.

' No .sooner had he uttered this cry and , with the look of a patient brute driven to the shamble < , had turned toward the enemy , than bin musket fell from his grasp , his huge frame era-lied together like a giant of the forest beneath the woodman's ax , clo.-e at mycr \ feel , and his upturned face showed me. a small , round hole , iiierced by a rebel buckshot in one corner of his forehead , from which thiuk blood was slowly oo/.lng , while his hands Hutched and snapped Ihc dry twigs which lay upon the earth In the last con vulsive struggle , his eve rolled upward for an instant before it gla/.ed over , and then half closed , ami his features set in the ghasliy stare of death.

The new member in other words , draws pay for the time ho never fcorved. A member is allowed SO cents mileage each way or10 cents a milo ono way.iuul ho can cheek for the full amount of both trips when ho takes his seat. Ho is al lowed $18i ! a year for stationery.

The other members mentioned have from $1,000 to $ y,000 to their credit. Tlioro are a couple of dozen members who always overdraw , or , rather , borrow from thu head of tlio bank. They borrow or got in advance Bums ranging from $10 to fMO , and at the end of the month they have nothing. The great majority of the mcmnors draw all that is coming to them ut the end of each month , particularly those who have their families with them Some of lliem novcr see an outside bank , but lot their monthly salary remain and draw it out in small sums.
