But you'd better slide out now; for the diagnosis don't call for you in regular doses. The little lady'll be all right when she wakes up. "I seen old McAllister outside. 'She's asleep, says I. 'And now you can start in with your colander-work.

A young man, who sat talking to Mrs. Gerrard Pennington before the fire, rose at her entrance. "I am glad you have come, Margaret Elizabeth," her aunt exclaimed. "I think you know Mr. McAllister?
Sherman reached the sea-board and commenced the siege of Savannah, Georgia; on the 13th, Fort McAllister was stormed and Sherman's communications opened with the Sea; on the 15th and 16th, the great Battle of Nashville was fought, between the Armies of Thomas and Hood, and a glorious victory gained by the Union Arms Hood's Rebel forces being routed, pursued for days, and practically dispersed; and, before the year ended, Savannah surrendered, and was presented to the Nation, as "a Christmas gift," by Sherman.
