Indeed, that she ever again considered him as in any way differing from the others about her did not once occur to Winston until one evening at Bluffton, when by chance he stood resting behind a piece of set scenery and thus overheard the manager as he halted the young lady on the way to her dressing room.
Several of her class were also losing their confidence in the old creed. She said this result had been reached by reading one of the books in the Sunday-school library. It was 'Bluffton, and was the account of how a young Presbyterian minister had gradually been converted to rationalism, and had finally taken his congregation with him over to liberalism. I hunted up the work and read it.
On examining my maps, I thought that the division of John P. Hatch, belonging to General Fosters command, might be moved from its then position at Broad River, by water, down to Bluffton, from which it could reach this plank-road, fortify and hold it at some risk, of course, because Hardee could avail himself of his central position to fall on this detachment with his whole army.
Right in our own city I have learned that 'Bluffton' is in half a dozen libraries, and is doing deadly work to orthodoxy. Of course this sort of thing must stop." OUR BARBAROUS ORTHOGRAPHY. An attempt was once made to introduce the English language in Japan, but their learned men decided that the irregularities of English spelling and grammar were a fatal objection.
The ever-recurring spell Writing in the sand Hartford City In the ditch Extricated Fairly started A telegram My brother's death Sober A long night Ride home Palpitation of the heart Bluffton The inevitable Delirium again No friends, money, nor clothes One hundred miles from home I take a walk Clinton county Engage to teach a school The lobbies of hell Arrested Flight to the country Open school A failure Return home The beginning of a terrible experience Two months of uninterrupted drinking Coatless, hatless, and bootless The "Blue Goose" The tremens Inflammatory rheumatism The torments of the damned Walking on crutches Drive to Rushville Another drunk Pawn my clothes At Indianapolis A cold bath The consequence Teaching school Satisfaction given The kindness of Daniel Baker and his wife A paying practice at law.
This caused the loss of some thirty or forty in killed and wounded. The slaughter would have been much greater had it not been for the courage and quick perception of Colonel DeSaussure in maneuvering them into a place of safety. After the battle the regiment lay for some time about Hardeesville and Bluffton doing guard and picket duty, still keeping up their course of daily drills.

York here is runnin' a field railway between Bluffton and Celina, so that I can get to the river and the resurvoir to fish without walkin'. Haines is bossin' a crew of forty Canadians and he's takin' the timber from the woods hereabouts, and sending it to be made into boats to carry stuff across sea. Meself, and me partner, Dannie Micnoun, are the lady-likest lambs in the bunch.
My next move was to Bluffton, Wells county, Indiana, where I arranged to go into the practice of the law. But here at Bluffton, as elsewhere, were the devil's recruiting offices the saloons and the first night after I reached the town I got drunk. I remained in Bluffton until I got over the debauch, which embraced a siege of the delirium tremens more horrible than that already described.
When I came to myself, I determined that I would go home. I was without money; I had no friends in Bluffton, and but few clothes to my back, and it was over one hundred miles to my father's, but I started on foot and walked the whole way. I stayed quietly at home a few days, and then went to Howard and Clinton counties on business, which was to make some collections on notes for other parties.
