"How beautiful it all is,", said Mary, as she shared these treasures with Lucy at their cheap boarding house. "And how lovely it must be to live always where such things are." The hot and trying days of summer were on hand and the two weary girls were beginning to wonder what they .would dp during their brief vacation. "O, fori just one breath of air which has not been parched by the heat of this dusty town," .moaned Lucy one day as they sat together. "Yes," answered Mary, "if we had only one day of real; cool, quiet country life, it would seem heavenly." Her vacation was to begin the next day. WTien she reached the store a note was given to her. It was from her dear old country friend asking, her to make her a visit. "If you will come," she wrote, "father will' bring you out. It is just a simple, country home, with only father and me. But there is everything to give you rest, and that I know you need. Will you come?? The girl went with delight from the hot town.

Then, when the talk was all over and everyone had expressed his opinion as to what should be done, Grant would leave the tent and go to Rawlins, his chief of staff, and begin issuing orders. No one know to what decision he had arrived, and they would have no idea what the next movement was to be until their orders were received. Especially to General J ohn A.

Lincoln: "It was on the 5th day of July, 1863, that I was brought to Washington on a stretcher from the field of Gettysburg. Hearing of my arrival, President Lincoln came to my room and sat down by my bedside. He asked about the great battle, and when I told him of the terrible slaughter, the tears streamed from his eyes. I asked him if he had doubted the result. He said, 'No.' Then he continued: " "This may seem strange to you, but a few days ago, when the opposing armies were converging, I felt as never before my utter helplessness in the great drisis that was to come upon the country. I went Into my own- room and locked the door. Then I knelt down and prayed as I had never prayed before.! I told God that he had called me to this position, that I had done all that I could do, and that the result nc?w was In his hands; that I felt my own weakness and lack of power, and that I knew that if the country was to be saved it was because he willed it. When I went down from my room I felt that there could be no doubt of the issue. The burden seemed to have rolled oft my shoulders,' my Intense anxiety was relieved, and in its place came a great sense of trustfulness, and that was why I did not doubt the result at Gettysburg. And, what is more, Sickles,' he continued, 'I believe that we may hear, at any moment of a great success by Grant, who has been pegging away at Vicksburg for so many months. By you will hear that he has won a victory, as important to us in the west as Gettysburg is in the east.'
