I am now dividing the money, and putting by a portion labeled with my own hand, according to his wish ;' and his excellency proceeded to indorse the package very carefully. " The Foeest Boy. 219 During a reception day, after a crowd of eager seekers had been in the presence of Mr. Lincohi, it came at last the turn of a woman who had been long and anxiously waiting. She was somewhat advanced in years, and plainly clad, a faded shawl being thrown over her shoulders, and a much worn hood covering ...her head. Her story, simply stated, was of itself an eloquent appeal. Her husband and three sons, all she had, had enlisted. Her husband had been killed in battle. Could she ask less of the country to whom she had given so much than the return of her eldest son ? The Presi- dent heard this request, and said, "Certainly, if her prop was taken away, she was justly en- titled to one of her boys, " and he immediately wrote an order for the discharge of the eldest. She gratefully took the order, and sought him at the encampment of his regiment; but the burden of her sorrowing heart was increased on learning that the object of her love and search had been wounded in a recent battle, and lay sick in a hospital.
