never forgot the kindness of
the Rev. Mr. Buckley, who had saved his life as a boy. Many a
Christmas-time gift testified to the gratitude of the Northerner.

In the desk in George Knight's office is a bundle of letters from the old
clergyman. The last of these to be received reads as follows:

"Dear Friend George:

"This is Christmas Day--the last, I am sure, that I will ever see. I
am too feeble to write you more than my best wishes for the holiday
season, and to say--Thank God, the war has been over these twenty
years and we are once more a united nation. No North, no South, no
East, no West--but simply America. I have been spared to see
this--and I am grateful.

"Cordially yours,
"Amos Buckley."
