Christian Litelligencer a story, Nurse Frye, which I copyriglited with the intention of working it up some time into book-form.. That story is imbedded in this, and it will account for any resemblances noticed. The present narrative, though, is entirely different in its purpose, and includes the former only as an incidental part. Let me state the purpose of the book. Perhaps some boy, some girl, may get from this story an idea of what their fathers and mothers passed through when young, and when over the land brooded the dark cloud of the great Civil War. Some one, too, may estimate more fairly the blessings enjoyed in this land to-day because slavery crumbled and perished in the war.
