A NOBLE SOLDIER.

General Wauchope was an elder of the Church of Scotland, but his sympathies were not confined to that branch of the Presby terian Church. Mr Dodds relates the fol lowing :—" I have often longed to make public an incident known only at the lime to a few individuals. When inspecting the hospital in Edinburgh Castle, his attention was directed to a boy—one of two brothers in the band of the Black Watch—who was Hying of consumption. When General Wauchope found out that he was an orphan, he had him removed to a room in hia own house atNiddrie, where he aßked me to visit him. During ail the illness of the brave little fellow, no one knows bat an old servant of the family, the doctor, and myself, of the General's tenderness, and anxiety, and un> stinted generosity towards him. And when he died, it was a sight which I shall never forget, how bhe General stood at the cloas of | the funeral service weeping, at the head of the coffin which was laid in that beautiful I entrance hall to Niddrie Marischal. Un covered, he walked through the snow, with all the reverence of a bereaved man, to the grave in the private burying-ground in the Niddrie policiesj where the young soldier, whose closing weeks he had soothed so tenderly, was laid to rest by comrades from ' the castle. This, and much more than this, which I could tell, make me know with an undying conviction, that General Wauchope was one of the finest Christian gentlemen one could meet in a lifetime."
