Moody's Stories Incidents and Illustrations

Excerpt: ...He makes a bad start. A young man comes from his Pg 74 country home, and enters upon city life. Temptation arises, and he becomes false to his principles.

His friend joined the regiment in his name, and was sent off to the war. By and by a battle came on, in which he was killed, and they buried him on the battle-field. Some time after, the Emperor wanted more men, and by some mistake the first man was balloted a second time. They went to take him, but he remonstrated. You cannot take me. Why not? I am dead, was the reply. Pg 75 You are not dead; you are alive and well. But I am dead, he said. Why, man, you must be mad. Where did you die? At such a battle, and you left me buried on such a battle-field. You talk like a madman, they cried; but the man stuck to his point that he had been dead and buried some months.
