The sun, wiuting neither for sluggard nor sleepiness, rose at jnst fifteen minutes past six on the moming of the nineteenth of Ootoher, and shone through a rent in Mrs. Selden's bed-room curtain, and made a bright circle on the irall, directly opposite her olosed eyes, that glanced back pencillings of light, like little spears, against her quivering lids, and brought them ¦wide open with a sudden start. " How lateit must be! I can hear the kettle singing on the stove," soliloquized that lady, as she straightened out her hair, and caught up the heavy braids ¦with her cemb—" I wish husband would not be so tender of me, letting me sleep here tintil the fire is half bnmed out.— But I will make it np when I once get on to thc floor. See if I do not surprise him ¦with a eall to breakfast before his chores are half done;" aud bringing the quilt up carefully over the still sleeping baby, and unrolling a heavy inside curtain, to darken thc room and- insnre a long nap for him, she quietly closed the door, and soon was bustling about over the dishes, then at the door, calling Mr. Selden in to his meal. It was one of those bright and treach¬ erous mornings that wake every one up early with promise of smiles through the day, then change, first into gloomy frown¬ ing clouds, and at last into rain, that de¬ ters all workmen from outdoor labor. Be¬ fore the meal was over, heavy gusts of ¦wind Bwept through the opeA door, rtused the table-olothj and sent the morning paper flying across the room, and then pattering drops swept against the window, and Mr. Selden rose from 'the table, and buttoned up his coat, and declared alond that he mnst go over to tho lake, and closo the bargain with Mr. Drayton about those sheep and oattle, and his wife at the same time inwardly changed her ar¬ rangements, and resolved, after the chil¬ dren were all away to school for the whole day—for it was so rainy they must carry their dinner, she would go up into the back chamber, and look over all the win¬ ter's olothing, and see what would do to mend and re-make, and what must be hii aside for carpetraga. Mrs. Selden light knock on tt'e ojenea,oiiamber doot'. "May I come right np? I ilp nptwish; to hinder yon,- imd I luiew it was one of your very busy days, yet I was so lon»j: soine over home," was qusstionbd and apologized as Mra. Selden came out tif thie cbamber and leaned oyer the b justrade. to see who was there. . "Oh, certainly, Mrs..Harris, though. you will find me all dust and dirt:'' "Better that than to sit' dovm iii iir/ still house, and hear the rain patter on. thc roof, and the wind sigh iibpntthe window, and think ofmy baby under the turf, and Herbert and .Wallace in the' anny. Oh, dear, I cannot help bnt feel downhearted oh suoh a day as this, when every bird flies for, shelter, and to tliink Mrs. Selden, that perhaps my poor boys are hungry, and half-olad, and pining so to hearfrom home, and cannot eveii get one line. I don't see how you can be so cheerful about Clayton, and he only nine¬ teen too." "But think how much I have to do, and what time I ¦ have to sit down and ] think, and then I am so tired I sleep sound all night. I' never knew boforo work was such a blessing, Mrs. Harris." " And to look back and ^ee how I ha^ve murmured sometimes, when my children were small, and littered up the house. It was confusion from morning until night, and I used to think how happy I should be when they were grown up out of the way, and I could sit down and have a little quict" "Just my thoughts before Clayton left, but that has tanght me a lesaon.— Many and many a time I have oome home from your house ready to cry, be¬ cause you oonld keep eveiything tidy and neat, and was of no use for me to try, with so many busy little ones." " And I—well, I must not talk about it, Mrs. Selden, for it will make ns both downhearted. Let me help you look over some of these clothes, or rip them up.— Anything to assist you and help pass away thc gloomy morning." "I was jnst wondering when I heard your step what I could do irith this coat. It is worth rebinding if it was in any shape; bnt no one wonld be seen in it as it is, and I cannot alter it. Such narrow lappels and short skirts—just as they wore them when you were married. Cot¬ ton yarn is so higb, I am sick of saving carpet-rags, an'l besides, I have forty poands cut ready for the weaver, that must now be packed away in a barrel." " Why, take it apart, .ind wash it, and send it to Mrs. Warner; itis just thc .thing." " What oan she do with it ? There is not a piece in it largo enough for a vest or footstool." " Haven't you heard'! She has made over forty pairs of slippers for our brave soldiers in the hospital, and now she is only resting for want of material for up¬ pers. I have given her everything I could find suitable in my house. You cannot tbink, Mrs. Selden, how comfort¬ able they are, lined with flannel, and soled with soft leather." " Xou are mistaken there, Blrs. Harris. You know when I sprained my foot, a year ago or more. If you hadnot lent me those knit overshoes of yonr mother's I should have sufiered, for it was too cold to go in stockings, and my rubbers felt likca vice over my ii.flamcd ankle; it is strange I did not tbink of it myself. If you will be so kind ns to rip it I will wash it to.night, and send it by tho children in the morning. Will anything besides flannel do for linings ? I should like to furnish both." "Oh, certainly; this broadcloth is so thick; that soft delaine in your hand is just the thing, ifyou oan spare"it. How Mother Warner's eyes will sparkle when ahe opens the package; her heart is so in the good work. I would take care of the baby if you could spare the time to run over with it yourself. Jt is as good as a feast to see how thankfnl she is for pieces and patehes,' so she cau do some¬ thing for the poor soldiers,' as she often aays, with tears in her eyes." ***** " Oh, what a weary life; I wish I was dead!" and the sick soldier lifted np his pale, emaciated haad to hb face, and stealthily brushed off two unmanly drops that were oozing from his crushed eye¬ lids, then raised his h^id upon his hand and gazed listlessly out of the window, as if trying to find aomething in the out-door world to vary the dull monotony of his life. The first early snow lay piled in little hillocks, " like so many graves," aa he whispered to himself, colored to a dingy hue by the muddy streams that crept down the mountain's side, and the winds sighed and moaned through the trees sad as a funeral dirge, and gray elouds Isy eloae above all, ssndiug down now and then a fierce patter of rain, that grumbled and hissed against the window like so many tonguea. " Oh, dear!" and thia time the weary, tired head fell baok on tho little straw pillow, and the soldier's gaze passed aronnd the room. Row after row of single beds filled the scone, stiff'and straight, preased up agaiuat lbo -wuH, moat ofthem holding an occupant like himself, that sighed and moaned softly, and at night wished it was moming, and at morning wished jt was night, thehours were so wearisomn. Over across the room, in plain sight, was one conoh holding a slight, frail form, bolst¬ ered up by pillows, his chiu smooth as any girl's, and'tho round curia, soft as a baby's, lying against his white, sunken temples—a mere boy, scarcely too large, his forin was so attenuated by siekness to be still rocked and petted in his mother's arms. Then just below the pulpit, where the bead nurse aat and foldbd little paper ones,,no Woniier his'ey^ were '"wet irith, tears and hia,b<^m,.fil?ed,.with Biglis,tli«i:| slmost'gPosiied'fijfiiitterBiioei-. iiAnd thnsii it-wnithtbUgh'thiaWhioldTOomi ^Thebobi WgbS'huiigifrbnf tht'dobt ceilinfeS 'and "datkened the low aroTled windoWi,' 'and aild the .mn came heayiCT.and flejcer and: rattled the. casements,, and the, .poor.; boy olDsed;bis.eyes,to:Khut out all sightj-,and pnlled tho'qniltOTer his headto deaden the i soiind, and cried again softly to himselfj add'said o^ver an.d over again; "Oh, that I was dead!" .,VHa,twhat's,th|e matter here my sol¬ dier!

"lam abui^denand plagne^ to .everybody! None carea for me • just. thint how long I have laid here,,and yOu have not brought me one letter. : I don't care, I do vrish' I was dead; perliaps somebody wonld thiiik of me then I" "Don't blame any dne but that rascal, Morgan !

But poor Ned, over there, is looking so wistful. I will set this down and you must cat it all if you can, and. be s good boy, and when I eome round to-morrow I will bring you some¬ thing," and he was off before a question eould be asked. The houra at last dragged into a night more doleful, if jpossible, than tbe day^r^ The few lamps were shaded, and tbe nurse that came in at the six o'clock bell wore a coat bntloned up close and walk¬ ed with a stiff, formal tread like an auto¬ maton. His eye was a cold blue, and never had in it the least glimmer of a amile to oheer a sick, discouraged heart, andif he did the slightest act, even shook np a pillow for an aehing head, it was with a reluctant gesture a'i if stern duty prompted the act, not love tbat fills each movement with airy grace. The rain still dropped from the eves, and thick black clouds covered the sky and shut out tho light of the little friendly etar, that through many a lonely night had looked.down and cheered the poor boy into patienco; and restless, with dull paina, the after-van of his long, scourging sickness, shooting through hia body, with little sleep and more moaning, the night at last passed away. So helpless and despairing had the sol¬ dier beoome of lato that he aoaroely raiaed his oyea when the hour came for ex¬ change of nurses, and he only answered, with a slight repelling gesture, the offer of the gift promised the night before. " Now, you are not going to refase my present, are you, when we sent clear over to Nashville to get them, ¦with a few other things, to make you all comfortable, my boy. 'When I first saw these I thought, 'Just the thing for Clay, for he must be¬ gin to sit up, and it wont*do to have him put his feot on tho cold floor;' and nowj you will not oven look at them !" " If it was only a letter," was the pleaded excuse. " Well, thc bridgo will be up this week and the cars ranning, and I prom¬ ise you threa the first mail that comea through, and you know I always keep ray word, so take your slippers and eat your broth, and be ready to stand in the shoes by ten, for I am coming round then' on purpose to help you up." The broth had a little extra flavor, thanks to the stores that had run the blockade of guerrillas safely, and after he had sipped it to the last spoonfal and. acraped out the dish, he turned listlessly on the pillow and took up his gift. Plain and substantial; madeof thiok broadcloth, and bound with braid; nothing very at¬ tractive, yet they looked cosy and com¬ fortable, and he whirled them on his finger, then with tho restlessness that springs from having nothing to do, he he turned them inside out to see what they were lined with. Now came such a glad start and smothered scream of sur¬ prise— "Mother'a dresa, as I live ! I know it by those little funny spots that dear Bell used to call oyes, and here is the outside of father's eoat! It was just such a queer snuff color, and mother haa lipped them botb up to make shoes for the soldiers!— Oh dear ! it seems as if-I was right there, handling over their clothea, and knowing mother was thinking about mo all the time she was washing and pressing them ont so smooth. I thought they had for¬ gotten me—so sick, and nobody coming in that I knew, and not even one short line from home; but now I know better. ,-;;_T^!ypiEf|.w^ipa'^T«i,iaiOTrz.'. eilehoeis'lMagiiS'forusno*,^ :.: : ,:??hiU tre««pii UfU'iWarmoa'htnd; Webear Jnifldife oltopen-brdv,: ¦We M»T II witloiir-ioleinB voir, , : : ^OorFatherUod.''

Mother I" as if talking to himself iu a pleasant dream. "Fit for .the convalescent barracks noxt week, my boy !" was the verdict as tbe nurse pressed his fingers on Clayton Selden's wrist, oarefal not to aroiise the sleeper, wondering to himself if the slip¬ pers had not had the same effeot on his patient that he had hoped a letter wbuld have—fanned to a flame tho fluttering light in his poor body that had seemed actually dying ont for want of a little hope or joy to brighten it into a blaze. was anaetive, energetic honse-keeper, and parcels of medicine, and dropped into vi- before ten o'clock the children were all at ais nauseating mixtures that sickened the sehool except the baby, and he was whole afmosphere, stood another couch, early tucked m a cradle for his forenoon whose ocoupant, a few weeks eariier had nap, the monung work was finished, and made up faces at him, and shonted' and she was ready for her task.

The^ surgeon was soon brought, and prononnced tbe wound a slight straintbat would be well in a few days; and ^ Fritz, with a bandaged liiub, was made'a prisoner npon the Jaofa, This did not, at first trouble him muob, however, for, as fae told Thea, he expected her to stay and entartan him while the reat dined. Sel¬ fiah aa was the arrangement^ she wasTery willing to do so, for she was too timid not to dread encountering such distinguiahed strangers, eapecially after tbe insinuation Frit? had made. IBtit the stern alint had made her owa srrsngementB, and would listen to no sueh proposition. She had always been tised, she said; to^ the assiat¬ ance of her own danghters, and now Thea must take their plaoe—not to' entertain the gompany, she was too young for that, but to take her orders to th» .aerT*nt(ij Vfatch and obey her motions, Bn' flrat she must sec to hertoilet. What dresses had^he? Thea gave her a list of tbero.. A wWte one would be pretty, but it would- need pressing ont, and there was no time for that. A blaok silk—but tBat would look like monming. Thea proposed her rose- colored de laine. Tes; that. Would do very well, if the sleeves were short.— " But before all, remember," said the lady, " your hair, hands, and feet must be irrepraachabh, or you eannot look like a lady; and be quick, for you have but fifteen minutes! You are not to come into the drawing-room—you are yet too young, but meet us in the dining-room." Dorothea diaappeared, juat aa her un¬ cle eame down, dressed, and began to ex¬ preas hia joy that the boy "would have his cousin's oompany in his aolitijde, and his wife's contrary determination caused quite a contention, for he was sure such a little thing could be of no sort of use at the table. Matters were becoming serious when Thea made her appearanoe, so faultlessly neat, so exquisitely tasteful in her simple, dreas, her well-fitting glovea and shoes, her smooth curls and glowing oheeka and eyes, that the stern aunt look¬ ed at her in amazement and delight.— How conld she have expected it 1 Nor was it only Aunt Molly that was pleasei. The prinoe had arrived with his friend, and the sweet, fresh, lady-like little girl, who was too mueh engaged abont her dnties to be thinking of herself and so bore her introduction to the distin¬ guished gneat -with quiet, graceful polite¬ ness, was the subject of many remarks that she never beard. Hardly a moment before the dinner was annonnced it was found, to tbe aunt's great annoyance, that as the young travel¬ lers had no meal, and Fritz was a prisoner, food must be sent him ; but how in the world could she spare time for tbat, with all her cares ? Thea aaid not a word, but gliding into the kitohen, procured a bowl of soup and with that and a bit of bread, made her .way to Fritz' room, aet hia little toble, told him who was below, and glided baok again in time to meet the visitors at tbe toble, and ¦without having soiled her glove or spilled one drop on the carpet, thongh the aunt was sure she would do both. Excellent, kind-hearted woman as was Madame Court-Counsellor Brownee, she was a thorough house-keeper,—the small¬ est failure in her arrangements, put her in an ill temper for a whole day. As Thea told Fritz when he grambled at wbat be called "her grim silence." the lady's bead ¦was ao full cf thoughts, that she bad no time.to langh and be pleasant. Strict as had been her instraetions to her little neiee, and mneh as she was delight¬ ed ¦with the idanner in whicii they had thus far been attended to, she seated her¬ self at her elegant toble in the full belief] that everything would go wrong. But she was mistaken. Thea's eyes were everywhere; she talked pleasantly with the yonng gentlman at her side, but watch¬ ed every movement her aunt made, while Cassimie, who acted as head-waiter, watch¬ ed her; and things went on beantifally. All at onee, jnst aa the toble waa being prepared for the dessert, thc aunt remem¬ bered that she had forgotten to give out the mottoes, or a crystal dish to set them in, and began motioning violently to Thea at tho other end of the toble. Tbea saw tbat it was something importont, for her aunt conld scarcely control herself suffi¬ ciently Id reply to the remarks of the Printie at her rigbt hand; but, what she was to do, she conld not imagine. In her despera^on she almost determined to alip round and aak, dreadfnl as she knew her stately relatives would think snob an aet. But just then she saw thc lady's pocket handkerchief fall to the floor, and gliding from her ohair sbe picked it up and with aslight .courtesy laid it in her aunt's hand. As Thea stooped to get it, Madame Brownee whispered; the words—"Mot- tocsi," "dish,?' "quickP "forgottenI" She had neither time nor dhance to say more; butthat'was enough. The litlle 'girl slipped frorii the room, but found td hercpnstereation that.both mottoes oad dish -were locked np and the key nowhere to t)fl foand; ',;,;.BimeDibeaing'td have seen her annt lOTBsiniiM':i)iui'ohof keys oii the parlor .table as Eer giiests ctune in, she flew vi. her place ready'td'''taik'^md larigh^^ii;' .almoet before herneighborh'ad perceived iher absence. .. . At last, the dinner was over, and the little'^rl; thongh shflliad scarcely tasted a mdrithfal herself, filled a plate ¦vrith all the good things she could flnd, and hur¬ ried off to the imprisoned Fritz, enter¬ taining him,; while.he ate them, ¦with a ftill account of all that hsd been done and said. "Well," said Fritz to himaelf, as she bade him good-night and went away, "Thea is really a kind, useful little girl j what a pity she is not pretty." "Well," said Aunt Brownee to her htisband that night, " Thea iaa miftt use¬ ful, excellent child; so carefnl and par¬ ticular abcint little things! What a pity she is not pretfy." "Well," said Uncle Brownee, "Thea iaa neat, well-behaved little body, and with her neat dreas; her well-fitting gloves, her amooth hair, pleaaant face/and those clear, bright, intelligent eyes, not a stran¬ ger has looked at her thia day biit has .thought and called her pretty." After aome days Fritz was prononnced well, and ajlowed to come down stairs to his meals; and now carefnl Annt Brownee began to Snd her troubles beginn'iDg in eamest. Casting a look at tbe still ban¬ daged foot, she made a remark about the propriety of ooming neatly to the toble; nor was the matter muoh bettered when Fritz assured her that he was not able to get oh his tight boota yet. "This isTiot a proper'way of receiving my reproof," said Aunt Brownee, dryly. For Fritz had apoken impatiently; he membered his first reception; and a storm was averted only by Thea's gliding tohis side with a Qeat slipper, while bis nnole,- to turn the subject, began to toik to hun about his studiea. « You will soon be able to walk with¬ out trouble, my boy," said Unole Brownee, " and then we will go to the Dureotoi of the QyifinaaiQiQ to have yon examined for admissioh. I think you will entor about the third." The kind old gentleman thenwent oa to toll hira thatlie should bave every advantage he was oapable of improving, both for solid acquirements and accomplishments, and advised him to employ every moment, now, in preparing for his examination. Then turning to Thea, he told her that: she, too, should have teachers fof every lady-like acquisi¬ tion. To this Aunt Brownee decidedly oh-- jeoted; she wished the aid of her 'neioe in the household, and could udt spare her to study. Poor Thea said nothing, but tbe tears came into her eyes, until Unole Brownee, setting down his coffee-cup with an emphasis—aa he always did when he was resolute—declared that Thea had du¬ ties to perform to herself aa well as them, and should have every opportunity given her of fltting herself &r thero. At last oame the grand day, whon Fritz was carried taLthe.Gymna3inin-iQr.(ixami*' nation. Scornfully he thought over hia uncle's opinion that he might enter thc third, for thc ease with whieh he had dia. toneed hia older brother Kurt, aud the flatteries of hia private tutor, had given bim an exalted idea of hia own talents. But the examination proved to be somo¬ thing far more than he had imagined, and to his aatoniahment he found himaelf no' only in tbe third,but, by tbe greateat allow¬ ancea, in the very undermost rank, even of that. " Strange!" said he to his uncle, " I knew all about the more important subjects whieh I was questioned; it was only in a few little thinga that I failed !" The Profeaaor laughed. ," Ah, Fritz," said be, "take care of little thinga. Eemem¬ ber the proverb: ' Great oika from little aooma.'" Arrived at home. Uncle Brownee now oalled Thea, to examine them together npon sucb matters aa tbey would atudy at home, in order to make up hia mind as to tbe tutor he shonid engage. Here, too, on all grand and brilliant points, Frita waa perfect; but in anoh little matters aa datea, etc., it was only Thea that cculd answer. " Psha !" said Fritz, when they were alone,-" Thea, yon are a smart girl; how ean you burden your mind with such lit¬ tle things ?" Thea only laughed and said: " Great oaks from little acoma." While Thea was improving every mo¬ ment, both in cultivating her mind and learning to be a finished houaekeeper, Fritz, diaappointed by the impresaion he had made, neglected his lessons at school, and worried and annoyed his aunt at home; from both places came auch con¬ atant and bitter complainta that even gen¬ tle Uncle Brownee lost his patience and treated him very coolly. This was the state of affairs when Thea went one morn¬ ing into Fritz's room and fonnd him ery- ing-bitterly. « What is tbe matter, dear Fritz ?"— demanded the little girl. " I believo I am home-sick," replied Fritz; " this is a wretobed plaee; every¬ body loves you and no one oares for me j even Uncle Brownee has taken a dislike to me, and I am sure I don't deaerve it!" " Now, liaten to me, Fritz," aaid Thea, and I will tell you the whole truth; you are making yonrself trouble just by care¬ lessness and neglect of little things. Yes¬ terday you eame in with your flowers and left the leaves scattered- all dver the car¬ pet ; yoii ran through tbe mud and never wiped your feet at the door; yon spilled yonr coffee over tbe clean table-cloth; spilled salt in the sugar-bowl; knocked down the mantle-clock, and shook it oat of order, thougb luckily you did not break it; and came twice to table with your fingers daubed vrith ink. This was at home; from school, unele had another note about your inattention. These are all little things, Fritz, but remember,' Great oaka '" Fritz atood eonvicte'd. Acknowledging his error, he begged Thea to remiiid him every thne she saw him in danger of some Bti'choffence; "andsbe faithfully kept the promise she made. As he improved, both oacle and annt began to wonder how. (iey could ever have thought him so disagree^j able; bntitwaa Thea's good help, that wronght the change.' " "' ' ~ '' *•—^:—'~'~ .

¦We gallicr round the t^wiligit hearth. Beneath the evemng's pallid flame.
And Boftening CTery sound of mirth, "ffo mormur the beloved name.
TTo try to still tho voice of care.
And cheerily aay, •' One year to-day
The dulcet drum and buglo blare, Allured our darling far away.**
And stifling back the orowding tear, ¦We mnrmnr, -while our prayers ascend:
" Our Father saved the boy a year— He'll surely save him to the end."
His grand dog smoothes sad, drooping ears Along my hand in mnte r«gret;
His wistful eyes half read my fears— " Old boy, youlbiss ypnr master yet!"
The ringing voice, the eye of fire.
The lithe yonng form, the step of pride.
That once made all your heart's desire. Old pet, they're snnder'd from yon vfide.
Your gay bark in the hunt is hnshed— A dearer meaning now you take.

THE SOLDIER'S PEESENT.
The sun, wiuting neither for sluggard nor sleepiness, rose at jnst fifteen minutes past six on the moming of the nineteenth of Ootoher, and shone through a rent in Mrs. Selden's bed-room curtain, and made a bright circle on the irall, directly opposite her olosed eyes, that glanced back pencillings of light, like little spears, against her quivering lids, and brought them ¦wide open with a sudden start.
" How lateit must be! I can hear the kettle singing on the stove," soliloquized that lady, as she straightened out her hair, and caught up the heavy braids ¦with her cemb—" I wish husband would not be so tender of me, letting me sleep here tintil the fire is half bnmed out.— But I will make it np when I once get on to thc floor. See if I do not surprise him ¦with a eall to breakfast before his chores are half done;" aud bringing the quilt up carefully over the still sleeping baby, and unrolling a heavy inside curtain, to darken thc room and- insnre a long nap for him, she quietly closed the door, and soon was bustling about over the dishes, then at the door, calling Mr. Selden in to his meal.
It was one of those bright and treach¬ erous mornings that wake every one up early with promise of smiles through the day, then change, first into gloomy frown¬ ing clouds, and at last into rain, that de¬ ters all workmen from outdoor labor. Be¬ fore the meal was over, heavy gusts of ¦wind Bwept through the opeA door, rtused the table-olothj and sent the morning paper flying across the room, and then pattering drops swept against the window, and Mr. Selden rose from 'the table, and buttoned up his coat, and declared alond that he mnst go over to tho lake, and closo the bargain with Mr. Drayton about those sheep and oattle, and his wife at the same time inwardly changed her ar¬ rangements, and resolved, after the chil¬ dren were all away to school for the whole day—for it was so rainy they must carry their dinner, she would go up into the back chamber, and look over all the win¬ ter's olothing, and see what would do to mend and re-make, and what must be hii aside for carpetraga. Mrs. Selden
light knock on tt'e ojenea,oiiamber doot'. "May I come right np? I ilp nptwish; to hinder yon,- imd I luiew it was one of your very busy days, yet I was so lon»j: soine over home," was qusstionbd and apologized as Mra. Selden came out tif thie cbamber and leaned oyer the b justrade. to see who was there. .
"Oh, certainly, Mrs..Harris, though. you will find me all dust and dirt:''
"Better that than to sit' dovm iii iir/ still house, and hear the rain patter on. thc roof, and the wind sigh iibpntthe window, and think ofmy baby under the turf, and Herbert and .Wallace in the' anny. Oh, dear, I cannot help bnt feel downhearted oh suoh a day as this, when every bird flies for, shelter, and to tliink Mrs. Selden, that perhaps my poor boys are hungry, and half-olad, and pining so to hearfrom home, and cannot eveii get one line. I don't see how you can be so cheerful about Clayton, and he only nine¬ teen too."
"But think how much I have to do,
and what time I ¦ have to sit down and
] think, and then I am so tired I sleep
sound all night. I' never knew boforo
work was such a blessing, Mrs. Harris."
" And to look back and ^ee how I ha^ve murmured sometimes, when my children were small, and littered up the house. It was confusion from morning until night, and I used to think how happy I should be when they were grown up out of the way, and I could sit down and have a little quict"
"Just my thoughts before Clayton left, but that has tanght me a lesaon.— Many and many a time I have oome home from your house ready to cry, be¬ cause you oonld keep eveiything tidy and neat, and was of no use for me to try, with so many busy little ones."
" And I—well, I must not talk about it, Mrs. Selden, for it will make ns both downhearted. Let me help you look over some of these clothes, or rip them up.— Anything to assist you and help pass away thc gloomy morning."
"I was jnst wondering when I heard your step what I could do irith this coat. It is worth rebinding if it was in any shape; bnt no one wonld be seen in it as it is, and I cannot alter it. Such narrow lappels and short skirts—just as they wore them when you were married. Cot¬ ton yarn is so higb, I am sick of saving carpet-rags, an'l besides, I have forty poands cut ready for the weaver, that must now be packed away in a barrel."
" Why, take it apart, .ind wash it, and send it to Mrs. Warner; itis just thc .thing."
" What oan she do with it ? There is not a piece in it largo enough for a vest or footstool."
" Haven't you heard'! She has made over forty pairs of slippers for our brave soldiers in the hospital, and now she is only resting for want of material for up¬ pers. I have given her everything I could find suitable in my house. You cannot tbink, Mrs. Selden, how comfort¬ able they are, lined with flannel, and soled with soft leather."
" Xou are mistaken there, Blrs. Harris. You know when I sprained my foot, a year ago or more. If you hadnot lent me those knit overshoes of yonr mother's I should have sufiered, for it was too cold to go in stockings, and my rubbers felt likca vice over my ii.flamcd ankle; it is strange I did not tbink of it myself. If you will be so kind ns to rip it I will wash it to.night, and send it by tho children in the morning. Will anything besides flannel do for linings ? I should like to furnish both."
"Oh, certainly; this broadcloth is so thick; that soft delaine in your hand is just the thing, ifyou oan spare"it. How Mother Warner's eyes will sparkle when ahe opens the package; her heart is so in the good work. I would take care of the baby if you could spare the time to run over with it yourself. Jt is as good as a feast to see how thankfnl she is for pieces and patehes,' so she cau do some¬ thing for the poor soldiers,' as she often aays, with tears in her eyes."

" Oh, what a weary life; I wish I was dead!" and the sick soldier lifted np his pale, emaciated haad to hb face, and stealthily brushed off two unmanly drops that were oozing from his crushed eye¬ lids, then raised his h^id upon his hand and gazed listlessly out of the window, as if trying to find aomething in the out-door world to vary the dull monotony of his life. The first early snow lay piled in little hillocks, " like so many graves," aa he whispered to himself, colored to a dingy hue by the muddy streams that crept down the mountain's side, and the winds sighed and moaned through the trees sad as a funeral dirge, and gray elouds Isy eloae above all, ssndiug down now and then a fierce patter of rain, that grumbled and hissed against the window like so many tonguea.
" Oh, dear!" and thia time the weary, tired head fell baok on tho little straw pillow, and the soldier's gaze passed aronnd the room. Row after row of single beds filled the scone, stiff'and straight, preased up agaiuat lbo -wuH, moat ofthem holding an occupant like himself, that sighed and moaned softly, and at night wished it was moming, and at morning wished jt was night, thehours were so wearisomn. Over across the room, in plain sight, was one conoh holding a slight, frail form, bolst¬ ered up by pillows, his chiu smooth as any girl's, and'tho round curia, soft as a baby's, lying against his white, sunken temples—a mere boy, scarcely too large, his forin was so attenuated by siekness to be still rocked and petted in his mother's arms. Then just below the pulpit, where the bead nurse aat and foldbd little paper
ones,,no Woniier his'ey^ were '"wet irith, tears and hia,b<^m,.fil?ed,.with Biglis,tli«i:| slmost'gPosiied'fijfiiitterBiioei-. iiAnd thnsii it-wnithtbUgh'thiaWhioldTOomi ^Thebobi WgbS'huiigifrbnf tht'dobt ceilinfeS 'and "datkened the low aroTled windoWi,' 'and aild the .mn came heayiCT.and flejcer and: rattled the. casements,, and the, .poor.; boy olDsed;bis.eyes,to:Khut out all sightj-,and pnlled tho'qniltOTer his headto deaden the i soiind, and cried again softly to himselfj add'said o^ver an.d over again; "Oh, that I was dead!"

None carea for me • just. thint how long I have laid here,,and yOu have not brought me one letter. : I don't care, I do vrish' I was dead; perliaps somebody wonld thiiik of me then I"
"Don't blame any dne but that rascal, Morgan ! I wish I had him by the jietik 1 I have not had a line since yon was brougbt in here, and I have the nicest, little woman, wbo is always scribbling.— Folks at home arc not to blame, let me tell you; it's only those guerrillas that do thc mischief. But poor Ned, over there, is looking so wistful. I will set this down and you must cat it all if you can, and. be s good boy, and when I eome round to-morrow I will bring you some¬ thing," and he was off before a question eould be asked.
The houra at last dragged into a night more doleful, if jpossible, than tbe day^r^ The few lamps were shaded, and tbe nurse that came in at the six o'clock bell wore a coat bntloned up close and walk¬ ed with a stiff, formal tread like an auto¬ maton. His eye was a cold blue, and never had in it the least glimmer of a amile to oheer a sick, discouraged heart, andif he did the slightest act, even shook np a pillow for an aehing head, it was with a reluctant gesture a'i if stern duty prompted the act, not love tbat fills each movement with airy grace. The rain still dropped from the eves, and thick black clouds covered the sky and shut out tho light of the little friendly etar, that through many a lonely night had looked.down and cheered the poor boy into patienco; and restless, with dull paina, the after-van of his long, scourging sickness, shooting through hia body, with little sleep and more moaning, the night at last passed away.
So helpless and despairing had the sol¬ dier beoome of lato that he aoaroely raiaed his oyea when the hour came for ex¬ change of nurses, and he only answered, with a slight repelling gesture, the offer of the gift promised the night before.
" Now, you are not going to refase my present, are you, when we sent clear over to Nashville to get them, ¦with a few other things, to make you all comfortable, my boy. 'When I first saw these I thought, 'Just the thing for Clay, for he must be¬ gin to sit up, and it wont*do to have him put his feot on tho cold floor;' and nowj you will not oven look at them !"
" If it was only a letter," was the pleaded excuse.
" Well, thc bridgo will be up this week and the cars ranning, and I prom¬ ise you threa the first mail that comea through, and you know I always keep ray word, so take your slippers and eat your broth, and be ready to stand in the shoes by ten, for I am coming round then' on purpose to help you up."
The broth had a little extra flavor, thanks to the stores that had run the blockade of guerrillas safely, and after he had sipped it to the last spoonfal and. acraped out the dish, he turned listlessly on the pillow and took up his gift. Plain and substantial; madeof thiok broadcloth, and bound with braid; nothing very at¬ tractive, yet they looked cosy and com¬ fortable, and he whirled them on his finger, then with tho restlessness that springs from having nothing to do, he he turned them inside out to see what they were lined with. Now came such a glad start and smothered scream of sur¬ prise—
"Mother'a dresa, as I live ! I know it by those little funny spots that dear Bell used to call oyes, and here is the outside of father's eoat! It was just such a queer snuff color, and mother haa lipped them botb up to make shoes for the soldiers!— Oh dear ! it seems as if-I was right there, handling over their clothea, and knowing mother was thinking about mo all the time she was washing and pressing them ont so smooth. I thought they had for¬ gotten me—so sick, and nobody coming in that I knew, and not even one short line from home; but now I know better.
