One Place Left.

When General Grant was in Charles City County, Virginia, in the late uncivil war, an old lady sent her little grandson to ask him where he was going. “Tell your grandmother,” he replied, “that I am going to Richmond or Petersburg, or Heaven or And the little boy came back with this:. ’ “Grandmother says you can’t go to Richmond because General Lee is there, and you can’t go to Petersburg because Beauregard is there, and you can’t go to Heaven because General- Jackson is there.” And General Grant perceived that the old lady had left only one place open for him in case he wanted to go somewhere.
