From tlie small bronzed chan¬ delier hangs a drop-light over a centre- lible covered with books. The warm air comes in through au open register, giving to the apartment a genial summer tem¬ perature. The room is not largo, nor is the furniture costly. Everything is plain, but good and comfortable. Three young cbildren, who have closed their evening game of romps, havejust passed out with their mothflr—it is their bed-time—and the faiher sits alone. A few minutes ago smiles lit up his face, caught from the children's gladness; but these smiles have faded; a cloud has dropped down over his countenance; he is gloomy and trou- , bled. Thus sat Mr. Catherwood, when hia wife returned from the chamber where she had left her children in tho keeping of angels. Uer heart was light: but a hand seemed l.iiU upon hor bosom the moment she came back inlo her hus¬ band's presence. .V feeling of care and anxiety oppressed her. She looked earn¬ estly at her husband, and saw that his brow was clouded. " AVhat troubles you ?" .^he asked. "I hope uothing has gono wrong?" " Kverything is going wrong!" Jlr. Ca¬ therwood answered. "How. we aro to make both ends meet, is moro than I can tell. Coal has gone up to twelve dollars a ton I" " To tv^elvc dollars?" "Yes; and everything else in propor¬ tion. Food, clothing, ta.\es, nearly all double what they were; and lo-day I ro¬ ceived notice that our rent would be raised from four to five hundred dollars." Mrs. Catherwood drew a quick, sighing breath. " To five hundred dollars !" she respon¬ ded, the trouble in her face growing deeper. "Yes; butif that were all," s-.id her husband, " wo might get along easily enough. It ia the advance in every item of personal and household expenditure lhat is going to break us down.'' "-Don't say break us down, Ilenry." Mrs. Calherwood's voice was choked. " I do say break un down.'" he replied, with a fretful emphasis. " What is to hin¬ der? Everything breaks down when the burden goes beyond the strength." *' We must begin to limit oureelves," said Mrs. Catherwood. " Wc must light en the burden by throwing over all su¬ perfluities, and even some of our comforts. Better tbis, than to break down." " I wish the war waa over." Mr. Cather¬ wood spoke with a gloomy impatience — " If it goes on much longer, we shallhavo nolhing left." • " I think," answered Mra. Catherwood, in a gentle, suggestive tone, " that com¬ pared with many others, the war, so far, has touched us very lightly. Wo have not suffered the abridgment of a single com¬ fort." " The abridgment is to come. It is even now at our door," said Mr. Catherwood. *' And, if the war continues, it will go on and on, uutil absolute want stares us in the face." ' If need be thai we suffer for our coun- cumstanoes are such thatwe Bl.all never bo called to suffer even a titiio of the pain that will be Iiiid on thousands of stricken hearts. And if our portion of the com¬ mon burden be ao very light iu compari¬ son with our neighboi-'a burden, ia it well for ua to complain ? With so muoh Iflt to be thankful for, is it uot a sin to mut" mur? Ilhi,ught cf tbo starving XTnion prisoners in Bichmond, as I sat at our plentiful table this evening; oftho fath¬ ers there, who left ohildren at homo as dearly loved as ours; of tho husbands there, whose wives weep for thom bitter and unavailing tears. Oh, Henry! for us complaint is ein!" Mr. Catherwood mado no reply to this, but dropped his eyes away from his wife's face and looked down at. tho floor.— Thonght went to the starving prisoners in Richmond; to tho homeless men, women and children, who were sufiering in exile for lovo of country ; to the thousands who had sacrificed their all; to the aick and wounded in hospitala ; to the sorrowing ones scattered all over the country, who mourned their loved and lost. Ho felt rebuked. , Tho door of tho room was opened with a jork, and a servant come in. Her man¬ ner was excited. " What's wanted ?" asked Mrs. Cather¬ wood. " Thciy'vo sent for you next door." Mrs. Catherwood started to her feet. "Is anything wrong there?" she osked, alarmed by the servant's tone and appear¬ ance. " Y'ea, ma'am. They've got bad news, and Mrs. Lester has fainted dead away." "News from Captain Lester?" " Y'es, ma'aro. He'a killed, thoy any!'' Mrs. Catherwood struok her hands to¬ gother, and uttered an exclamation o( surprise and pain. " Whon did it happen ?" asked Mr. Catherwood. He spoke with forced dim¬ ness. His face had becomo pale. " They dida't tell me, sir. The girl waa all in a flurry, antt said, ' i'lease ask Mra OathertVood lo come rightin.' " Xo delay occurred. Without stopping for shawl or hood, Mrs. Catherwood ran in Ut herafllictid neighbor. Mr. Cather¬ wood followed aoon after, thinking that lie might be of somo use. He leornnd that a despatoh had been roceived announcing the death of Captain Lostcr in Western Virginia, and that Mrs. Lester had faint¬ ed on receiving tho intelligence, and was still inaeusible. Two ohildren, a boy and a girl, ono six and the other eight years of ,igc, came with noiseless steps into the parlor. On seeing Mr. Catherwood, they paused with a timid air. He held out hia hands, and they came nnd sat down on the soft<, one on each side, and leaned their heads ag.iinsl him. Tlicre wassome¬ thing wrong in the hou£e. Thoir motlier was ill, suddenly and strangely. >*o tongue yet had uttered tho fatal tnith in their cars. Tbey did not know lhat.tbey,| wero fatherless. But they fell the chill and shadow of impending evil. Mr. Ca- Iht rwood's heart grew faint .and his eyes ;Tet. Ho could not trust his voice lo speak tb tho children; but he put his arms around. "Mamma's aick, said the little girl, looking up at Mr. Catherwood wilh a so¬ ber face, as he drew;her, with a lender, pitying impulse, to his sido. "I'm very sorry," he answered her, softly. " And I'm sorry," responded the boy. "But the doctor's coming, and he'll make her well," ho added, in a to.ie of confi¬ denco. Alas for the unhappy mother! Hera was a s'ckness beyond the skill of any mortal physician. Timo only, with God's mercy and loving kindness, could heal tha hurt of her soul. Mr. Catherwood did not reply, though he felt the little tronbled hearta beside him were waiting for some responsive as¬ surance from his lips. Vague sorrowa do not rest very heavily on the hearts of young ohildren. The unconscious orphens, up later than there usual hour, were prasenlly asleep, lean¬ ing against Mr. Catherwood. Their nurse came in and took them away. How his heart yearned towarda these children— suddenly left fatberlcea. He Ihought of his own little ones, still within the sphere of hia protecting love ; of his wife, still leaning against him as her atay in the world ; of himself, safe from the peril of shot or sabre stroke, and involuntarily he looked upward and said—"Thank God !' The doctor camo and stayed an hour with Mrs. Lester. Lile move ngain through her pulses, but unconsciousness continu¬ ed. There was nolhing that Mr. Calherwood could do for the family, and -so he returned home. Ilis wife came in soon afterwards ; tho relatives and friends of Mrs, Lester having arrived and token her place in the chamber of the still in- seiisible widow. Hor eyes were red witb weeping for the sorrow of another—her face wilh pain for lhe suffering of nnothrr. '•Oh, Henry ! Isn't tbis sad, aad !" And Mrs. Catherwood laid her face upon the shoulder of her husband and .cobbed. "Poor Mrs. Lester!" she added. "It will be belter for her if her eyes never open agnin to the light of this world. If it wero not for her children, I could wish she might pass away aud join her husband in theother w.irld." Mr. Catherwood made no response. He was thinking of tho complaints he had uttered a little while before ; and his im¬ patience and weak despondency under his amall sharo of the common burden which a great national calamity had laid on the people's sboaldera. "God has been very good to me Henry,' said his wife, breaking in upon his thoughts—" very, very good ! I hnve my husb.nnd. Oh, if you are spared, I wiil sutler whatever evil m.^y come, and seal my lips in .silence. Poor Mra. Lester! My heart runs over with sorrow at the thoughtof her." " You have not complained." Mr. Catherwood spoke in self humiliation.— "It is I who have murmured ; I who have been ungrateful. How selfishly blind I was : Looking inward upon our own lit¬ tle world, witb eyes jealous over our own good,—fretting and anxious becauae the coat of living had ao increased that some of our luxuries must be given up ; while thouaands and tens of thousands had been called to abandon everything—homes, eslates, frienda, even life itself! "Yesterday I met a aoldier on the street. Both arms were gone, and the empty sleeve of his noat hung loosely at hia aides! I shall not soon forget the expression, of his fine face. There was humiliation in it. The ultimate power of a man is in his hands and arms; and these are gone. If he had lost both legs, his arms remaining, the active mind would yet have tho agent by which to work ita will, gone, he is helpless, "Oh, my husband! Xet ua be chary of complaint, lest, being accounted, un. worthy, our good be taken away. Whrt if we find onr income (oo small for our present way of living? Then, let us cheer¬ fully step dowu a littlo lower, and thank God for what is left. I lay awake at night often, thinking of those who are suffering up to the very climax of human endurance for then' country's sake—of poor refugees, old men, tender women and young children—driven from their homes; hunted by bloodhounds; hiding in swamps and oaves; hungry, sick, dying ! Of the wounded on the battle fields, perishing alone: of tho aiok wasting in hospitals— of the myriad forms of anguish this war has visited upon our people. Oh, Henry! our burden is so light that it is ain to com¬ plain." "Say no moro my darling!" returned Mr. Catherwood. "I am sufficiently re¬ buked. Come what will, hereafter, my lipa shall be sealed." "I did not mean to rebuke you, Henry." "No matter. I am rebuked. Com¬ plaint oame too quickly to my tongue; partly from habit, partly from selfishness, and parlly a disposition to look at the darker side of things. But it was all wrong, weak, ungrateful; and it shall cease. For what the good God nenda I will be thankful; and the evil Ho per mils I will try lo bear with suitable pa¬ tience. At present my burden is light— very light.—Arthur's Home Magazine, ,stinBhbiefromiu;fiac6rSl £« f?'*'' "^ but.tq.bo. eontcnted with life Heaven, all her belief that she hsdrdone, for her sake. right, oould not e«se her longing and heartache, In the. days that followed sho-Jiursod hira back to health again. Never, after CAPTAIS'CHARLEY. " To think how in yon sleeping town Sucb happy mothers be, AVho keep tbeir many anna at heme, While I—I had but thee." There was sunshine in tho room, and the breath of flowers. A golden throated bird thrilled notes of gushing, musical joy lo the roses and heliotropes in tho window below h'im. It did not sound like the song of a caged bird. Perhaps the swoet odor stealing up to him from the blossoms, the sunshine on his golden wings, stirred some slumbering bird mem¬ ory of his, and mado him think ho was at homo again in the summer isle round whicii tho summer sea breaks niurmur- ously, and wheto tho roses bloom all the year. The furniture was slight aud grace¬ ful. The carpet was gay. Nothing was aad thero bul tho two faces—mother and They had been talking long and earn¬ estly. Then for a while they had sat in silence, which the son, Charley Wayne, was the first to break. . "If you wero poor, mother, and really needed me, X would stay at homo with¬ out saying a word." "My heart is poor—my heart needs you. You arc my all. For the rest if it t\-ill keep you, t will sell all 1 have nnd give to the poor' and you shall stay aud work forme." Charley looked u]) at hei- wilh eyes whoso meaning .ilways stirred her soul, for they were tha eyes of her youths love. Over such oyes grew the'roses and viplets of that same .lune of 1802, . "What.woultl father have said, moth¬ er ?"- : Tho queation found ils mark, .She well knew whence camo her sona quick cour-. age, his eyes of earnest meaning, his heart truo as sleel, warm as summer. If "fath¬ er" was living he would not havo been the last to ''ii'low the buglecall. Y'et sho did not woul lo utter her own-eentenco of doom. She did not speak fo^ a liltlo while She seemed to see again the face of her lost love—to hear his voioe, which had, through the years of their life together, been guide at ouce and comfort. She al¬ most seemed to hear in the btill summer air the downward swoop of wings, and to feel upon her brow a touch of peace and healing. She looked up again at Charley. How strong he was !—handsome, noble, brave, just the stuff of which heroes aro raado. Had she any right to deprive tho good ciUi^e of tho blows tbat stout right arm could strike ? After all, what were peaco and security, which only the sacri¬ fice of the right could purchase? If this life were all—but when the words spoken here must echo Ihrough the everlasting spaces, when the deeds done here make or mar the life that never ends, could even love and lonliness make her so weak as lo purchase the present with tho future? Shi) looked at Ch.arley still, butshe could not see him for the tears gathering in her soft, motherly blue eyes. "Faiher would say 'go,'" sho whispered, "and I must say what father would, must I not? I must prove myself worthy to have been his wife. But he ia dead, and if I should I6se you also, oh ! whom have I left ?" "God !" Did Charley speak, or wns it the voice ofa slrong angel calling down from the eternal heights? Mr.s. Wayne bowed her head rc verenlly, silenoed by that word, by the thought of the love beyond hope or longing which might be hers if sho would. She dared not again call herself alone in-the uni verse. She only put out her hand silently and Charley took it. "Never fear, mother. All who fight do not fall. I shall come baok to you, and you shall sit, when you are old, under my vino and fig tree, and lell your grand¬ children stories of hov? their father helped to save the counlry." "Heaven grnnt it 1" she whispered, try¬ ing lo be brave, and smile, ashe left her to tell the boys of the Twenty-first that ho was ready to accept the lieutenant's commisaion that had been offerd him. It waa a proud day when he marched away with hia men. Even hia mother, as she watched him from the window, and the fearless eyes which softened into a glance of lova as they saw her face, felt a thrill of exultation, a prido in her brave son, which for a time kepi; her teara back. ]}ut the tears came when ahe-no longer heard the martial music that cheered him on—when tho noonday silence fell around her, and the noonday light, gay, glaring, pitiless, looked in upon her woe. She shut her window blinds and drew down her curtains; for the bright day seemed mocking her. Mute with Borrow, she sank upon her kneea, as if there were prayer in tho very attitude, and then, I think Heaven comforted her. To her soul, at least came a great peace. She seemed to draw near the eternal life, and breathe its air of secure reat. She felt cloae, as-she had never done before sine the summer day he died, to Charley'a father. She knew that ahe had done what he would have counseled; and she strengthened heraelf with hia approval, as ahe had done so many timo during their short life together. So ahe grew stronger. But, the arms j having tasted the air of heaven, to let in He cannol put food again the joy and light of earth. sacrifice for hi3 country so cosjtly. The last week ofMayBhe brought him home. The apple treos were in flower, full of a pink whiteness of glorious bloom. The fields about their country house were green; and again, as when he went away, rosea and heliotrope nodded in the open windows, and the bird, thrilling to old memories of summer isles, trilled over them a mutinous jubilee of aweet sounds, which tht; old robins and gay orioles out¬ side strove longingly to emuhite. And so, amid birda and flowera and sun- abine. Captain Charley sat down again at home. "My work is over now," he said glanc¬ ing palientiy, not sadly, at the empty sleevo at his side. "Perhaps God thought you were the^one, mother, after cll, who needed me the most, nnd Ihia was hia way of sending mo back:" liJiUAL WoTlCBo. SXECUTOH'S NOTICE.

And if Charley Wayno had beon dead hia mother would hardly have felt her soli- 'tude deeper than she felt it for the flrat few weeks after he went away. But as time.passed on, she grew more aoouatom- ed to her loneliness, and his letters be¬ gan to give her comfort. He waa in an engagement now and then, and came through safely. She began to hopo she should see him again. Before 18G2 past over, she heard of his promotion—Coptain Charley now. Sbe had grown atrong enough to feel glad and proud when she heard of it. Sho wrote him a cheerful letter of praise, and con¬ gratulation, whicli ne put next- bia henrt and wore more proudly than his new honora. He had never known—would he ever know ?—a dearer love; his moth¬ er wns still for him first among women. One day, early in March, he wrote her how beautilul the apring was; how the wild, bright, blossoms were opening soft eyea to- a aofter sky and the birds were ainging a sODg of peace, when for man there wa's no peace. While she was reading hjs letter other tidings came; a long dispatch from one who knew and loved her boy; the story of an action, such aa in these days of great batlles we scarcely think of, where only a few eompanies were engaged, but in which Charley had fallen, ooverely wounded—fallen, as she would be proud 16 hear, bravely cheering on his men. He was wounded in arm and leg, but was salely in the hoapit*), and, thoy hoped, would do well. It ia strange how much airength ia in the weakest and most lovin? lype of wo¬ men in the houra that try men'a soula.. I do not think good Dr. Holmea, uaed to tho horrors of the dissecting room, made ready ono whit more cooly to start on his " search for the .Captain" than she on hera for Captain Charley. I think she forgot nothing which he eould need, and I do not believe a tear fell till all her pre¬ parations were over, and she sat in the cara on her way to him. Whal if her teara did fnll then, silent but bitter, be¬ hind hor thick veil ? There wculd bo no stain of them when he saw lhn face which iniiat bo cheerful I'or hia sake. How the time went she never knew till she atood beside hia betl—saw him while and weak, wilh the impress of terrible pain on hia face—but saw him nlive, in this,world ! "How J'OU must have hurried, mother, lo get here'so soon ! I diil not expect you yet, but I nm glad you aro here. They will cut my arm off to morrow. They can't save it.

Tbe morning came at length, and witb it the hour wbicb tvna to decide bia fate. Firmly be insisted upon sending bis moth er away. Tbe moment tbere was fear of death he told ber she should be called; in the meantime he was resolute to spare her tbe sight of his suffering. Sbe resisted for awhile, tben yielded to the force of bis will. Sbe could never bave know worse torture, however, than her waiting. Was it for hours or moments—sbe could never tell—that she sat there with eyes shut and clasped handa waiting for tbe summons. At larit tbe assistant surf^eon touched her arm. "Ho bas borne tbeoperatioo ma daru mucb better than we feared. We ahallsavehisleg, though hemay always be a little lame. His arm is off, and, accord ing to present appearances, we think be will get well. His courage wiil go a great way—he never groaned through the whole |.ofil." Sho heard the words aa oneinadi-fam, clutching at one thonght. H er boy was aUvc—likely to live. She tried to stand antl could not. She began to guesa tben wbat tbe extent of the fear bad been whose reaction was so powerful and ex¬ hausting. *Soon she gathered again strengtb and composure with tbe thought that ho was waiting for ber, and, then sbe went to him. Then abe knell by bis bedside and felt hia left arm, all he had noWi touch her neck. The utmoat exertion of her self- control could not keep back sobs and tears. Maimed and halt, her brave boy, of whose symmetry and strength ahe had been so proud! She Uttle knew what bitter, despairing thoughts were atruggling then in his heart When it was all over, he had juat begun to realize how atrong had beon his un. conscious hope to die. It would have beon much bettor he thought, than lo live this helplesa, disfigured bulk, shut" out by fate from manhood's work and woman'a love. Her passion of tears did him good. Eemembering how abe loved him, he grew atrong^to liva-for ber sake. ¦Very gently he touched her hair.as fae aaid, "Mother, you would rather have me as I am than not to have me at all T" How that question stilled her repihinga? Ho'w many mothers have given to'the good cause their all—how many wcre weeping at that bour mad, useless tears, .which never thrilled tba cold foreheads of dead sons! She had her boy with her still— she.could touch his lips—look in his eyes >-he could hear when she spoke. What Jiad she to do with sorrow ? What was it to give nn arm, and tbe grace of movement ahe.faad lovad. to :watch, when still she could keep her boy, her brave, true boy ? Smiling again through her tears she whis¬ pered :— - "Charley, God is good. I think bow desolate I must have been withont you and even as it is I am conteht.

Bp27-tt WENTZ DKOTHP.RR, Ho.SKaatKlDKst. The peculiar taint or infection which we call Scrofula lurks in the constitutions oi* muttitodes of men. It either produces or is produced by an en- ^feeblcd, vitiated Btalc of the blood, wherein Ithat fiuid becomes in¬ competent to siislain 'tlie vital forces in their vigorous nction, and euves tlie sy.stem to _ fall into disorder and deeay. The serofulous eontamin.ation is va¬ riously caused by mercurial diseaso, lou' living, disordered disestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filtli and fdtby habits, the deprcs.sing vices, acd, above all, by the venereal infection. "WJiatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending " from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to be tlio rod of Him who says, *• I will visit tlie iniquities of the fathers upon their childron." The diseases it originates take Tarious names, according to the organs it attacks. In tho lungs. Scrofula produces tubereles, and finally Consumption; in lb« glands, swellings which suppurate and be¬ come ulcerous sores; in the stomacli and bowels, derangements which produce indi¬ gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. Tliese, all having the same origin, require the same remedy, viz., purification and invigora¬ tion of tbe blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. W'ith feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with thut *'life of Uie ilesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofutous disease. Ayor's Sarsaparilla is ccmpoiinded from the most efTectual anti¬ dotes that medicnl science lias discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure '-i.' the disorders it emails. Thaf it i.^; far supe¬ rior to any otiier remedy yet devised, is known liy all wlm bave given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly c-ttraordinary in tiieir effect upon this elass of cpnipIainW, is indisputably proven by tbe groat multilude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases: King'a Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Emptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Eose or St Anthony's Fire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Conghs from tuhercnlons deposits in tho lnngs, White Swellings, Debility, Dropay, Nenralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Eemale Weaknesses, and, indeed, tiie whole series of complaints that arise from impurity of lbe blood. Minute reports of individual cases mny be found in Ater's AMEniCAX Ai.siAXAc, wliich is furnislicd to tiie druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may he learned tite directions for its use, and some of tiie remarkable cures which it has made when all other remedies hnd failed to afford relief. • Those cases are purposely talcen from all sections of the country, in order lhat every reader may have access to some one who can speak to hiin of its benefits froni personal experience. Scrofula depresses tiio vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far moro sttbjcct to disease and its fatal results than are healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten*, and docs greatly shorten, tlie average duration of human life. The vast import.ance of these considerations has led us to spend ycars in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This wc now olfer to the public under lhc name of Ayeu's SARS.iPAi:ir,r,A, allliougli it is composed of ingredients, some of which exceed the be.st of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By iL^ aid you mny protect yourself from the suffer¬ ing and danger of these disorder.^. Purge out the foul corruptions tbat rot and fester in the blood, purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous iieaJth mil follow. By its pecu¬ liar virtues tliis remedj- stimulates tiie vital functions, and thus expels the distempers which lurk mtiiin tiie system or burst out on any part of it. Wc know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised much and did notiiing; but tiicy will neither be deceived nor disappointed m this. Its virtues havo been proven by abun¬ dant trial, and tiiere remains no question of its surpassing cxeelicnee for the cure of the , afflicting diseases it is intended to re'aeh. Although under the same name, it is a very difierent medicine from any otiier which has been before tiie people, and is far more ef¬ fectual than any other wliich -has ever been available to thetn.

THE IIGHTEE BUEDSN.
A pleasant family sitting-room. Time, evening. From tlie small bronzed chan¬ delier hangs a drop-light over a centre- lible covered with books. The warm air comes in through au open register, giving to the apartment a genial summer tem¬ perature. The room is not largo, nor is the furniture costly. Everything is plain, but good and comfortable. Three young cbildren, who have closed their evening game of romps, havejust passed out with their mothflr—it is their bed-time—and the faiher sits alone. A few minutes ago smiles lit up his face, caught from the children's gladness; but these smiles have faded; a cloud has dropped down over his countenance; he is gloomy and trou- , bled.
Thus sat Mr. Catherwood, when hia wife returned from the chamber where she had left her children in tho keeping of angels. Uer heart was light: but a hand seemed l.iiU upon hor bosom the moment she came back inlo her hus¬ band's presence. .V feeling of care and anxiety oppressed her. She looked earn¬ estly at her husband, and saw that his brow was clouded.
" AVhat troubles you ?" .^he asked. "I hope uothing has gono wrong?"
" Kverything is going wrong!" Jlr. Ca¬ therwood answered. "How. we aro to make both ends meet, is moro than I can tell. Coal has gone up to twelve dollars a ton I"
" To tv^elvc dollars?" "Yes; and everything else in propor¬ tion. Food, clothing, ta.\es, nearly all double what they were; and lo-day I ro¬ ceived notice that our rent would be raised from four to five hundred dollars." Mrs. Catherwood drew a quick, sighing breath.
" To five hundred dollars !" she respon¬ ded, the trouble in her face growing deeper.
"Yes; butif that were all," s-.id her husband, " wo might get along easily enough. It ia the advance in every item of personal and household expenditure lhat is going to break us down.''
"-Don't say break us down, Ilenry." Mrs. Calherwood's voice was choked.
" I do say break un down.'" he replied, with a fretful emphasis. " What is to hin¬ der? Everything breaks down when the burden goes beyond the strength."
*' We must begin to limit oureelves," said Mrs. Catherwood. " Wc must light en the burden by throwing over all su¬ perfluities, and even some of our comforts. Better tbis, than to break down."
" I wish the war waa over." Mr. Cather¬ wood spoke with a gloomy impatience — " If it goes on much longer, we shallhavo nolhing left." •
" I think," answered Mra. Catherwood, in a gentle, suggestive tone, " that com¬ pared with many others, the war, so far, has touched us very lightly. Wo have not suffered the abridgment of a single com¬ fort."
" The abridgment is to come. It is even now at our door," said Mr. Catherwood. *' And, if the war continues, it will go on and on, uutil absolute want stares us in the face."
' If need be thai we suffer for our coun-
cumstanoes are such thatwe Bl.all never bo called to suffer even a titiio of the pain that will be Iiiid on thousands of stricken hearts. And if our portion of the com¬ mon burden be ao very light iu compari¬ son with our neighboi-'a burden, ia it well for ua to complain ? With so muoh Iflt to be thankful for, is it uot a sin to mut" mur? Ilhi,ught cf tbo starving XTnion prisoners in Bichmond, as I sat at our plentiful table this evening; oftho fath¬ ers there, who left ohildren at homo as dearly loved as ours; of tho husbands there, whose wives weep for thom bitter and unavailing tears. Oh, Henry! for us complaint is ein!"
Mr. Catherwood mado no reply to this, but dropped his eyes away from his wife's face and looked down at. tho floor.— Thonght went to the starving prisoners in Richmond; to tho homeless men, women and children, who were sufiering in exile for lovo of country ; to the thousands who had sacrificed their all; to the aick and wounded in hospitala ; to the sorrowing ones scattered all over the country, who mourned their loved and lost. Ho felt rebuked. ,
Tho door of tho room was opened with a jork, and a servant come in. Her man¬ ner was excited.
" What's wanted ?" asked Mrs. Cather¬ wood. " Thciy'vo sent for you next door." Mrs. Catherwood started to her feet. "Is anything wrong there?" she osked, alarmed by the servant's tone and appear¬ ance.
" Y'ea, ma'am. They've got bad news, and Mrs. Lester has fainted dead away." "News from Captain Lester?" " Y'es, ma'aro. He'a killed, thoy any!'' Mrs. Catherwood struok her hands to¬ gother, and uttered an exclamation o( surprise and pain.
" Whon did it happen ?" asked Mr. Catherwood. He spoke with forced dim¬ ness. His face had becomo pale.
" They dida't tell me, sir. The girl waa all in a flurry, antt said, ' i'lease ask Mra OathertVood lo come rightin.' "
Xo delay occurred. Without stopping for shawl or hood, Mrs. Catherwood ran in Ut herafllictid neighbor. Mr. Cather¬ wood followed aoon after, thinking that lie might be of somo use. He leornnd that a despatoh had been roceived announcing the death of Captain Lostcr in Western Virginia, and that Mrs. Lester had faint¬ ed on receiving tho intelligence, and was still inaeusible. Two ohildren, a boy and a girl, ono six and the other eight years of ,igc, came with noiseless steps into the parlor. On seeing Mr. Catherwood, they paused with a timid air. He held out hia hands, and they came nnd sat down on the soft<, one on each side, and leaned their heads ag.iinsl him. Tlicre wassome¬ thing wrong in the hou£e. Thoir motlier was ill, suddenly and strangely. >*o tongue yet had uttered tho fatal tnith in their cars. Tbey did not know lhat.tbey,| wero fatherless. But they fell the chill and shadow of impending evil. Mr. Ca- Iht rwood's heart grew faint .and his eyes ;Tet. Ho could not trust his voice lo speak tb tho children; but he put his arms around.
"Mamma's aick, said the little girl, looking up at Mr. Catherwood wilh a so¬ ber face, as he drew;her, with a lender, pitying impulse, to his sido.
"I'm very sorry," he answered her, softly.
" And I'm sorry," responded the boy. "But the doctor's coming, and he'll make her well," ho added, in a to.ie of confi¬ denco.
Alas for the unhappy mother! Hera was a s'ckness beyond the skill of any mortal physician. Timo only, with God's mercy and loving kindness, could heal tha hurt of her soul.
Mr. Catherwood did not reply, though he felt the little tronbled hearta beside him were waiting for some responsive as¬ surance from his lips.
Vague sorrowa do not rest very heavily on the hearts of young ohildren. The unconscious orphens, up later than there usual hour, were prasenlly asleep, lean¬ ing against Mr. Catherwood. Their nurse came in and took them away. How his heart yearned towarda these children— suddenly left fatberlcea. He Ihought of his own little ones, still within the sphere of hia protecting love ; of his wife, still leaning against him as her atay in the world ; of himself, safe from the peril of shot or sabre stroke, and involuntarily he looked upward and said—"Thank God !' The doctor camo and stayed an hour with Mrs. Lester. Lile move ngain through her pulses, but unconsciousness continu¬ ed. There was nolhing that Mr. Calherwood could do for the family, and -so he returned home. Ilis wife came in soon afterwards ; tho relatives and friends of Mrs, Lester having arrived and token her place in the chamber of the still in- seiisible widow. Hor eyes were red witb weeping for the sorrow of another—her face wilh pain for lhe suffering of nnothrr. '•Oh, Henry ! Isn't tbis sad, aad !" And Mrs. Catherwood laid her face upon the shoulder of her husband and .cobbed. "Poor Mrs. Lester!" she added. "It will be belter for her if her eyes never open agnin to the light of this world. If it wero not for her children, I could wish she might pass away aud join her husband in theother w.irld."
Mr. Catherwood made no response. He was thinking of tho complaints he had uttered a little while before ; and his im¬ patience and weak despondency under his amall sharo of the common burden which a great national calamity had laid on the people's sboaldera.
"God has been very good to me Henry,' said his wife, breaking in upon his thoughts—" very, very good ! I hnve my husb.nnd. Oh, if you are spared, I wiil sutler whatever evil m.^y come, and seal my lips in .silence. Poor Mra. Lester! My heart runs over with sorrow at the thoughtof her."
" You have not complained." Mr. Catherwood spoke in self humiliation.— "It is I who have murmured ; I who have been ungrateful. How selfishly blind I was : Looking inward upon our own lit¬ tle world, witb eyes jealous over our own good,—fretting and anxious becauae the coat of living had ao increased that some of our luxuries must be given up ; while thouaands and tens of thousands had been called to abandon everything—homes, eslates, frienda, even life itself!
"Yesterday I met a aoldier on the street. Both arms were gone, and the empty sleeve of his noat hung loosely at hia aides! I shall not soon forget the expression, of his fine face. There was humiliation in it. The ultimate power of a man is in his hands and arms; and these are gone. If he had lost both legs, his arms remaining, the active mind would yet have tho agent by which to work ita will, gone, he is helpless,
"Oh, my husband! Xet ua be chary of complaint, lest, being accounted, un. worthy, our good be taken away. Whrt if we find onr income (oo small for our present way of living? Then, let us cheer¬ fully step dowu a littlo lower, and thank God for what is left. I lay awake at night often, thinking of those who are suffering up to the very climax of human endurance for then' country's sake—of poor refugees, old men, tender women and young children—driven from their homes; hunted by bloodhounds; hiding in swamps and oaves; hungry, sick, dying ! Of the wounded on the battle fields, perishing alone: of tho aiok wasting in hospitals— of the myriad forms of anguish this war has visited upon our people. Oh, Henry! our burden is so light that it is ain to com¬ plain."
"Say no moro my darling!" returned Mr. Catherwood. "I am sufficiently re¬ buked. Come what will, hereafter, my lipa shall be sealed." "I did not mean to rebuke you, Henry." "No matter. I am rebuked. Com¬ plaint oame too quickly to my tongue; partly from habit, partly from selfishness, and parlly a disposition to look at the darker side of things. But it was all wrong, weak, ungrateful; and it shall cease. For what the good God nenda I will be thankful; and the evil Ho per mils I will try lo bear with suitable pa¬ tience. At present my burden is light— very light.—Arthur's Home Magazine,

" To think how in yon sleeping town
Sucb happy mothers be, AVho keep tbeir many anna at heme,
While I—I had but thee." There was sunshine in tho room, and the breath of flowers. A golden throated bird thrilled notes of gushing, musical joy lo the roses and heliotropes in tho window below h'im. It did not sound like the song of a caged bird. Perhaps the swoet odor stealing up to him from the blossoms, the sunshine on his golden wings, stirred some slumbering bird mem¬ ory of his, and mado him think ho was at homo again in the summer isle round whicii tho summer sea breaks niurmur- ously, and wheto tho roses bloom all the year. The furniture was slight aud grace¬ ful. The carpet was gay. Nothing was aad thero bul tho two faces—mother and
They had been talking long and earn¬ estly. Then for a while they had sat in silence, which the son, Charley Wayne, was the first to break. . "If you wero poor, mother, and really needed me, X would stay at homo with¬ out saying a word."
"My heart is poor—my heart needs you. You arc my all. For the rest if it t\-ill keep you, t will sell all 1 have nnd give to the poor' and you shall stay aud work forme."
Charley looked u]) at hei- wilh eyes whoso meaning .ilways stirred her soul, for they were tha eyes of her youths love. Over such oyes grew the'roses and viplets of that same .lune of 1802, . "What.woultl father have said, moth¬ er ?"- : Tho queation found ils mark, .She well knew whence camo her sona quick cour-. age, his eyes of earnest meaning, his heart truo as sleel, warm as summer. If "fath¬ er" was living he would not havo been the last to ''ii'low the buglecall. Y'et sho did not woul lo utter her own-eentenco of doom.
She did not speak fo^ a liltlo while She seemed to see again the face of her lost love—to hear his voioe, which had, through the years of their life together, been guide at ouce and comfort. She al¬ most seemed to hear in the btill summer air the downward swoop of wings, and to feel upon her brow a touch of peace and healing. She looked up again at Charley. How strong he was !—handsome, noble, brave, just the stuff of which heroes aro raado. Had she any right to deprive tho good ciUi^e of tho blows tbat stout right arm could strike ? After all, what were peaco and security, which only the sacri¬ fice of the right could purchase? If this life were all—but when the words spoken here must echo Ihrough the everlasting spaces, when the deeds done here make or mar the life that never ends, could even love and lonliness make her so weak as lo purchase the present with tho future? Shi) looked at Ch.arley still, butshe could not see him for the tears gathering in her soft, motherly blue eyes.
"Faiher would say 'go,'" sho whispered, "and I must say what father would, must I not? I must prove myself worthy to have been his wife. But he ia dead, and if I should I6se you also, oh ! whom have I left ?" "God !"
Did Charley speak, or wns it the voice ofa slrong angel calling down from the eternal heights?
Mr.s. Wayne bowed her head rc verenlly, silenoed by that word, by the thought of the love beyond hope or longing which might be hers if sho would. She dared not again call herself alone in-the uni verse. She only put out her hand silently and Charley took it.
"Never fear, mother. All who fight do not fall. I shall come baok to you, and you shall sit, when you are old, under my vino and fig tree, and lell your grand¬ children stories of hov? their father helped to save the counlry."
"Heaven grnnt it 1" she whispered, try¬ ing lo be brave, and smile, ashe left her to tell the boys of the Twenty-first that ho was ready to accept the lieutenant's commisaion that had been offerd him.
It waa a proud day when he marched away with hia men. Even hia mother, as she watched him from the window, and the fearless eyes which softened into a glance of lova as they saw her face, felt a thrill of exultation, a prido in her brave son, which for a time kepi; her teara back. ]}ut the tears came when ahe-no longer heard the martial music that cheered him on—when tho noonday silence fell around her, and the noonday light, gay, glaring, pitiless, looked in upon her woe. She shut her window blinds and drew down her curtains; for the bright day seemed mocking her. Mute with Borrow, she sank upon her kneea, as if there were prayer in tho very attitude, and then, I think Heaven comforted her.
To her soul, at least came a great peace. She seemed to draw near the eternal life, and breathe its air of secure reat. She felt cloae, as-she had never done before sine the summer day he died, to Charley'a father. She knew that ahe had done what he would have counseled; and she strengthened heraelf with hia approval, as ahe had done so many timo during their short life together. So ahe grew stronger. But, the arms j having tasted the air of heaven, to let in He cannol put food again the joy and light of earth.

The last week ofMayBhe brought him home. The apple treos were in flower, full of a pink whiteness of glorious bloom. The fields about their country house were green; and again, as when he went away, rosea and heliotrope nodded in the open windows, and the bird, thrilling to old memories of summer isles, trilled over them a mutinous jubilee of aweet sounds, which tht; old robins and gay orioles out¬ side strove longingly to emuhite.
And so, amid birda and flowera and sun- abine. Captain Charley sat down again at home.
"My work is over now," he said glanc¬ ing palientiy, not sadly, at the empty sleevo at his side. "Perhaps God thought you were the^one, mother, after cll, who needed me the most, nnd Ihia was hia way of sending mo back:"

Y'ou know how it ia when h friend di«, ¦ that flrst hour, did either of them breathe and you believe they have gone hbme to 'a single regret.

But as time.passed on, she grew more aoouatom- ed to her loneliness, and his letters be¬ gan to give her comfort. He waa in an engagement now and then, and came through safely. She began to hopo she should see him again.
Before 18G2 past over, she heard of his promotion—Coptain Charley now. Sbe had grown atrong enough to feel glad and proud when she heard of it. Sho wrote him a cheerful letter of praise, and con¬ gratulation, whicli ne put next- bia henrt and wore more proudly than his new honora. He had never known—would he ever know ?—a dearer love; his moth¬ er wns still for him first among women.
One day, early in March, he wrote her how beautilul the apring was; how the wild, bright, blossoms were opening soft eyea to- a aofter sky and the birds were ainging a sODg of peace, when for man there wa's no peace.
While she was reading hjs letter other tidings came; a long dispatch from one who knew and loved her boy; the story of an action, such aa in these days of great batlles we scarcely think of, where only a few eompanies were engaged, but in which Charley had fallen, ooverely wounded—fallen, as she would be proud 16 hear, bravely cheering on his men. He was wounded in arm and leg, but was salely in the hoapit*), and, thoy hoped, would do well.
It ia strange how much airength ia in the weakest and most lovin? lype of wo¬ men in the houra that try men'a soula.. I do not think good Dr. Holmea, uaed to tho horrors of the dissecting room, made ready ono whit more cooly to start on his " search for the .Captain" than she on hera for Captain Charley. I think she forgot nothing which he eould need, and I do not believe a tear fell till all her pre¬ parations were over, and she sat in the cara on her way to him. Whal if her teara did fnll then, silent but bitter, be¬ hind hor thick veil ? There wculd bo no stain of them when he saw lhn face which iniiat bo cheerful I'or hia sake.
How the time went she never knew till she atood beside hia betl—saw him while and weak, wilh the impress of terrible pain on hia face—but saw him nlive, in this,world !
"How J'OU must have hurried, mother, lo get here'so soon ! I diil not expect you yet, but I nm glad you aro here. They will cut my arm off to morrow. They can't save it. Scmetimes suoh au opera¬ tion provea fatal. I don't think it will in my case. I keep up a good heart; but if I ahould die, I should like to touch your hand and see your face lho last thing in this world. First and laai there'a nothing like mother."_
AU that night aho ant by him. If she was tired with her journey she did not know it. She only knew lhat to-night he waa with her—to-morrow might be flow. ing between them the watersof that river from whose father shore comes back no echo.
