A correspondent tells this story: After the battle of Saarbruck, a Westphalian, going about to help the wounded, came upon a soldier of the Prussian infantry who had been shot through the body and was leaning heavily against the wall. "Will you drink, comrade?" asked the Westphalian. Pale and faint, the poor fellow shook his head, and feebly indicated that he would like his lips to be moistened. When this had been done, he asked in a whisper whether the Westphalian could write. The latter at once took out his pocket-book, when the dying man, "with brightening eye," dictated the words. "Dear mother, farewell," adding the address. At this moment the Westphalian was called by a second wounded man. When he returned he found that his first friend had fallen back and died.
