THE HEB£L SPY-
Thc other day I met a friend who was formerly one of the Ked DeviLs. During the conversation which ensued he asked
me  whether  I remembcved liill  -,
who deserted  the  regiment at Fortress Monroe.
"A slender, dark-eyed young fellow, was he uot?"
" The same," replied mJ friend. "We beeame chums from the first moment we met at Fort Schuyler; and if you will give me your attention a few moments you shall he ir how he came to desert the regiment, and a few other facts that will surprise you."'
" By all means," said I, "let me hear the story."
" Well," began my friend, '' ono day we were sitting in the .siiadow o^ a pinc tree near our encampment at Fortress Monroe, when my chum comnieueed to speak ofa boautifui girl iu the villago of Hampton, whom he was in the habit of visiting occasionally.
" ' She is a beauty!'. lie exclaimed, enthusiastically; 'and.lack, he added,' laying his hand upon my arm, -you shall go with me to see her."
At first r objected, pleading as •''an ex¬ cuse the modesty  and bashfulness I al-1 ways experienced in the presence of the fair sex.
"' But she isn't fair,' .said he; '- she is a quadroon.' ¦   -r
li t flThcn do you think of going V I asked.
"'To-night.'
" ' But we'll have to " run thc guard." "' That's  nothing,'     answered  Bill; 'we can easily manage that.' .,
"So at length I promised my. chum that I would accompany him to- the vil¬ lage of Hampton to see the beautiful quadroon.
" When uight came, and we startek upon our nocturnal expedition, .we had no difiBculty in passing ouv line of scnti-, nels; for by some means or .)tlier Bill had succeeded in obtaining the -jounter- ?ign.
" fhis task aecomplished, we now made our way to the river beaeh, and af¬ ter we had walked a short; distance, my.| chum passed near a rock that jutted over the water, and showed nin a sniall skiff moored beneath its shad.jiv. \Ye wero soon seated in the skiff, which flew swift¬ ly over the waves before tliu vigorous strokes ofour paddies. In a iew moments we reaohed the plneo of destination—a small, dilapidated building which stood afew yards baek from thc spot where we landed. There was a small archway be¬ neath the house, which evidently led in¬ to the cellar, and it was to this quarter that the steps of my chum were directed. Passing through the archway, we found ourselvea in total darknesa; but Bill shouted'Come on r and so 1. followed, althongh I ituinbUd tgytrsl timei against
thc room : and I was just; eoming to the conclusion that it would be a good plan for me to do the same, when the unmis- tiikeble tramp of horses hoofs approach¬ ing at a gallop saluted my cara and drew me to the window. Looking out into the night, I caught sight of a number of grey uniformed hor icmen coming towards the house at a_paee which must bring them fo the door in a few moments.
" Tlie moon; which had hitherto been obscured by elouds, was now shining brightly, revealing every outline of the approaching figures. Thoy were rebel cavalrymen.,
"' Bill,' I exclaimed, 'eome here !'
'• There was no answer, and without turning around I again ealled his narae.
'J Still there was no reply.    '
" I turned impatiently, and perceived tbat both himself and the quadroon had deserted the apartment!
" I shouted his name aloud, but there W.TS no response; at that moment a gust of wind swept through a broken pane of glass and blew out the candle, leaving me in total darkness.
"Again I stepped to the window and looked out. Tho horsemen had halted a few yards from the house, and were dis¬ mounting. Presently I saw three of .them advace to thc stoop, and heard the clattering of their sabers and the noise of their heavy boots as thoy ascended the steps. I could also hoar some of them coming up from the cellar; so there was now left to me but one way of retreat from the apartment the same by whieh the old negress had made her exit. As I passed through the doorway, I stum¬ bled against the bottom of a staircase.— This I immediately commenced to ascend as noiselessly and as swiftly as possible. Arriving at the top, I discovered a door which I pushed open without ceromony, and found myself in a small apartment half lighted by the rays of a lamp whioh streamed into it from another room con¬ nected with this one by a door tbat had heon left open. The murmur of voices, coming from the other ap.irtment, fell up¬ on ray car. I looked through the open doorway, and beheld a sight which sur¬ prised me. Seated upon a sofa at one end of tho room were threo figures.    One
was  my ohuni Bill , with his arm
around the waist of the quadroon, and her head upon hfs shoulder; while the other wassa tall figure in the uniform ofa rehel licuteuant of cavalry!
"' So Magruder doesn't want the vil¬ lago burnti yet?' remarked Bill, as he stroked his whiskers. ' There's an ex¬ cellent opportunity to do it, if he does; for the pickets are very small around Hampton at present.'
'"I know that, captain,' answered tbe lieutenant, 'but Magruder will wait until ho sees how long the d—d Yankees are going to stay. If he sees a prospect of their going inio winter quarters here, you may depend upon it he'll burn the town ?"' '•' I shall keep my eyes about me,' said Bill, ' and report matters as usual.'
"'But when are you going to rejoin us, captain V inquired the rebel.
"'As .soon as Magruder thinks fit' answered Bill, ' though to tell the truth I'm about tired of playing the spy. It ¦n-as a deuced good idea of his—my going to New York and enlisting in the Fifth
Z-iuaves—ha! ha! ha!   Captain S ,
of tbe rebel service, a Ked Devil.'
" At that momont Bill happened to turn | his head toward the door. Our eyes met and hn sprang to his feet with an exclama¬ tion. At the same moment tho lieuten¬ ant reso and drew his sword.
"Y'uuhavc overboard us ?" said Bill. " .^y, traitor every word," I answered. " I might have foreseen this," said Bill, in a tone of chagrin, " but that whisky of yours," lie added, turning to the lieuten¬ ant, " made me eareless."
" Ho shall not leavs this house alive," exclaimed tbe lieutenant, drawing a pistol i'rom his belt and pointing it at my head. "But I had  picked up a chair as he drew forth the weapon, and now "with the quickness of lightning I hurled it at hia I face.    Tho pistol was discharged, bnt the contents whistled  harmlessly   over   my liead.    I darted from  the  room, rushed down stairs, and nerving myself for a des¬ perate venture, dashed across the apart¬ ment below, in the direction of the cellar stairs.    Tho room was filled with rebel cavalrymen, but my sudden appearance so ^astounded  them that they made no at¬ tempt  to  arrest my progress.    By the time I had reaohed the cellar, however, thoy had recovered from their surprise, and as I sped onward X heard the report of two or threo carbines behind me, fol¬ lowed by the whiz of bullets as they flew past my ears.    The next moment I had passed through the archway into the open air, and with two or three bounds reached the skiff.    Unfortunately, by the ebbing of the tido, it was now high and dry upon the beach.    I seized the stern with both hands and by a great effort of Btrength succeeded in launching it.    But the time occnpied in this manuoevre enabled the foremost of my pursuers to gain upon me. With his piece clubbed and elevated on high to deal me a powerfiil blow,  he oame on.   But while he waa yet a few yards distant I stooped and quiokly un¬ fastened the rope of the akiff fiom fte j atone to whieh it was tied."  Lifljng tii*
the heavy piece, of rook, I suddenly rose npright and hnrled it with all my foroe Bt the head of my pnrauer.
" It struck him on the temple, and he dropped to the beach like a log.
" The skiff waa now drifting away from me; bnt I darted into the water, nnd be¬ ing an exoellent swimmer, soon succeeded in reaching it. Iclambered into it, and then looked toward the beach. Cavalry- men"were drawn up in line, with their pieces pointed towards me.
" 'Fire!' exolaimed a voice whioh I recognized as that of the lieutenant.
" But the sharp report of the earbinja rang ont upon tho air, I dropped qnickly to the bottom of the skiff, and the storm of lead passed over me and flew hissing into the water beyond.
" I now sprang to my feet, and with a shout of defiance seized the only oar the boat contained, and adopting the sculling process, sent the light vessel shooting through the water like a rooket.~A8sis- ted by the tide, the skiff flew over the waters ao rapidly that before the men'| eould reload I waa ont of range.
" Half an hour afterward I arrived safe¬ ly in camp, au d waa just in time to take my place in the ranks, for, having heard the firing, and suppsaing that our picket was attacked, the officers had ordered the men under arms. A message fiom the front, howeve r, must soon have con¬ vinced them that this was not the case; and the men were allowed to 'break ranks' and disperse to their quarters.
"Well, Com.," continued my friond, " this isn't the end of the matter; for I saw Bill again at the battle of Big Beth, el. 'fou probably remembered that, during the fight, a troop ofrebel oavalry attemp¬ ted to make a dash upon us, but were driven back ?"
I answered in the aflarmative, and my friend continned:
" At the head of that troop rode Bill or more properly speaking, the rebel captain. I saw him as plainly as I now see you. But it waa only for an instant. He tumbled from his horse the next mo¬ ment, witb his head torn from his shoul¬ ders by a shot from oiie of our brass pieces. At his side rode a rebel, who upon seeing the oaptain fall, drew a piatol, aimed it at his own heart and fired. The horse becoming unmanageable, galloped into our lines, dragging the rebel after him, the foot of the dead soldier having bsoome entangled in the stirrups as he fell. As the steed dashed wildly about the field the rebel's foot became disen¬ gaged from the stirrup, and he fell to the earth a few yards from tbe spot where I was standing. His jacket had become disarranged and torn around the breast, revealing to my astonished gaze th^ beautiful bnt blood-stained bosom of a female. I advanced and looked down upon the corpse, closely scrutinizing the features. The faee was familiar. Once seen it oould never be forgotten. It was the face of the captain's mistress, the lovely quadroon'."
TOMMY McPHELAN, PEDLER AND SOLDIEE.
Some years ago a nephew of mine, named Philip Stuart, spent a summer with me at HoUygrove. He was a bright, happy lad of nine years, full of merry pranks and harmless roguery. He brought me a letter from his mother eontaining numerous directions respecting his diet and dress, his outgoings and incomings; but after a thorough inspeotion of him, I decided to give him the largest allow¬ able liberty, and to depend upon an abun¬ dance of exercise ' in the fresh air for keeping him up to his ordinary standard ofhealth.
For three days nothing unusual oc¬ curred ; then my eake began to disap¬ pear in an amazing manner. Cookies, ginger-crackers, bath-biscuit, fruit-eake, pound-eake, vanished like the dew, leav¬ ing no trace behind them. " What as¬ tonishing appetites children do have !" I said to myself. " I have always heard so and now I know it."
By and by I discovered that the frost¬ ed sheets weut first and I oeased to adorn my loaves; whereupon my rogue confided to Bridget his regrets  that Auntie  had grown 30 careful of her sugar.   This sys¬ tem of pillage having become  annoying from'' the fact  that  I never   could tell when I invited   a caller   to stay  to tea whether I   oould fill my cake basket, I baked small fruit pies for my little man. I' I gained nothing by this. Indeed, I lost, instead, for now both pies and cakes trav¬ eled together.    Then I bought an extra quantity of fruit with a similar result. I remonstrated with Phil, but he only lift¬ ed his arch, sunny faoe, and asked, "Are you sure that I am  the  thief. Auntie ?" and I, miserably weak, yielded  at once, and thonght tbat if he  wanted dainties, he should have them.   To be sure, I was racked with fears.    First, I imagined his appetite would fail at meals; bnt he went steadily   through   with  the conrses, and invariably desired a little more pndding at dinner, and a second pieoe of cake  at tea.   Next, I fancied ^he wonld sleep ill, and ery out, terrified with dreams.    No¬ thing of the kind occurred; and  in  my many trips to his little bed, I found  his skin cool and moist, his pulse steady, and his breathing regular and soft.    Finally, I was haunted by a dread of sndden aick¬ ness ; but the  merry  laugh  continued, and the neighbors said, " How lucky you are with that child !" ¦. There was another mystery conneoted with Philij 1.    He oever  had   a  cent of money.    Five and ton eent pieoes, to say nothing of coppers, were constantly find¬ ing their way to his pooket,  but neitber his Unole nor I ever saw tbem come ont, Could he be hoarding them 1 I examined his trunk, hia drawers,   his tiny writing- case, in vain, and then I settled down to the belief that of all tho marvels of crea¬ tion the boy was, doubtless, the greatest. Several weeks went by  in this way, when, as I waa hunting in  the outakirts of the village for a delinquent washer¬ woman, I aaw Tommy MbPhelan -with a tray of piea, cake and fruit. Tommy was twelve   or   thereabout, with   a  round, dumpy form, and a face that smiled all over on the slightest provocation.    His trowsers were fringed in  every direction -with the edges of gaping rent?, he was minus a shirt, and his apenoer iaatehed his trowsers to a point, but he. wu. irell .wasted, and hishui wu bmshod until it
seemed turning to gold, in the sanbeams. Hia tray -was oovered with grape leaves instead of.a napkinj and the articles were protected from snn and dnat in the satne manner. One or two of the leaves, how¬ ever, had fallen aside, and I reoognized some of the results of my own early la¬ bors. At sight of me. Tommy attempted to hide but, finding that impossible, he changed his tactics and boldly offered his wares.
" Why, Tommy," said I, "tbose hearts and rounds, and that slice of pound cake, and those two little pies, are mine!"
" And, indade, thin, they're nioe, ina'- am, if ye made 'um wid yer own whito fingers," replied the vender unabashed.
" Tommy, did Philip Stuart give you those thinga?"
Toinmy hesitated while he made a cturious and anxions inspection of my oountenance.
"You didn't steal them. Tommy; I can't believe that you did."
" Oh, no ma'am," and the smiling as¬ surance faded ont of the little faee.
"No, I didn't think that. Then, either Philip or Bridget musthave given them to.you. TeU the truth. Tommy, that is always best in the long mn."
" It was Philip, ma'am, but he said ye'd be willin' He said the more he tuk, the more ye put in the boxes. And ye won't bang him, or pinch his ears, or knook his head, or pull his hair, ma'am, will ye ?— I'd ruther ye'd do it to me. I'm used to it, and it won't hnrt mo so bad."
" I shan't hang either of ybn. Tommy, and you are very weloome to everything you have had."
" Thin won't ye plaze to ate a pieee of thc oake or aoine of the berries, ma'am? I've kep' 'emolean, jistaa Philip give'em to me. See how cool and green the leavesiire now."
I voluntarily drew back, but a pained look crept into the pleaaant face, aiid the young voiee quivered as the ohild said: " Plaze do, ma'am, and thin I ahall be shure ye've forgiven Philip and me."
I eould resist no longer. I broke off a crumb of cake and took a couple of oher¬ ries, while Tommy watohed me with in¬ tense pleasure. "Good bye, Tommy, I said. So and sell the rest ofyonr thinga, and come to see me this afternoon at six o'olock. You shall have cake and cher¬ ries for yourself."
" Philip," said I, when I reached home, " do you know Tommy MoPhelan ?"
" To be sure I do, auntie. I fonnd him out the third day after I came to Holly Grove. And oh, auntie, dear, only to think of your fancying that I ate all those goodies that he has been selling so long! I Why, I hav'nt eaten a mouthful away from the table ainoe I have been here, exoept when you and I have lunch¬ ed together, and Phil, burst into a fit of laughter whioh threatened never to end. When he reoovered I learned that Tommy had a wretched home, that his parents were lazy and intemperate, and that he himself had been trying to get a decent suit of clothes in order to take service with some respectable family.— Philip had found him with a dirty baaket, attempting to sell a few sticks of candy and a roll or two of lozenges. He had urged the necessity of personal cleanli¬ ness, had suggested the tray with ita pretty oovering of leaves, and had added such articles as he could to his little stook. The latter, he told me, had sold remarkably well, and the small vender would have been already fitted out with trim garments but that he waa obliged to ahare his profits with his miserable pa¬ rents.
" And did your money go with tbe cake, Philip ?"
"Yes, Auntie, only I put that safely away for Tommy, myself, and old Mc- Fhelan and his wife don't know anything about it. I thought. Auntie, how dread¬ ful it would be for me to live in that hor¬ rid hole, and I wanted to help Tommy out ofit. Waa I wrong Anntie ? Ought'nt I to have taken the oakes and pies ?"
Tommy arrived promptly at six o'olock. He had made a little preparation for the visit by drawing up the holes in his gar¬ ments with variously oolored thread, and his face and hands had uudergone a re¬ cent scrubbing. His face glowed and his sturdy form seemed to expand with pride andpleasure. Bridget gave him supper on a little rouud tahle in the kitchen, where she waited upon him with much formality, while Philip took his own plate out and stood beside him, eating and laughing over the morning sales.
I had been puzzling my brain  about Tommy's case all the afternoon  without result, but his grateful looka decided me. Partly by persuasions and partly by threata I induced his fatber to   part with'him, and took him into my  own  family as a general waiter.    The trifle whieh hc had j accumulated was, of oourse, deposited for him in a savinga bank, and  I never seen happiness more radiant than hia when he received his bank book,   fle proved to be good tempered, affeotionate, fond of fun but reasonably diligent, and posessed of fair mental powers, as he showed by progress during the terms of the district school.   I do not know when I shoald have been willing to part  with him, but that his parants made his stay  with me the exouse for impositions which finally wore out my patience.    At the end of two years, Mrs. Staart obtained a situa¬ tion for him in another State, and as the elder MoPhehina disappeared aoou after, ward, my yoathful waiter gradually fa- ded from my memory.
Our acquaintance was renewed re¬ eently in an unexpected manner. Philip Stuart happened to be with me dnring the last great military panic and, insisted that I should go to M— to see a company of Irish volunteers set off for Washington. "Pshaw, Phil.! Think of hrSakfast- ing at five o'clock in tho morning and ri¬ ding twenty milea merely to have one's heart half broken with the leave-takings of mothers, wives and children. If you really want to go, why not go alone ? or; perhaps your unele will go -with yon."
But Phil, waa resolute andi yielded. I knew I should at the ontset. So did he/ His mother-Bmd I did all in my, power to spoil her ohildren. To do them jtistice, they were nnspoilable by love whatever might have happened to them throtigh tyranny. ~
'As we emerged, frpm the.depot, I uw. that all the good places were oe<m^ed|
bnt a minute laterj^a wagon body -without ieats was wheeled into the sqaare.  ,
"Let's mount,"'said Phil. ,.,
" No, I shall he too conspieaoua." . "Asif a black dress, gray bonnet and waterproof can be oonapiouon^Aa'ntie," replied my cavalier, haff pusfeng, half helping me into the vehicle.- • We were soaroeiy. arranged; before we oaught the tones of the "StarSpangled Banner," arid then there waa the' glittei: pf bayonets, and the waving of silk and bunfarig, and the steady tramp of mar¬ shalled men, and in fiye minntes the ex¬ peoted oompany waa in position before-my wagon and presenting arms. -1 looked »onnd to leam who the display was in¬ tonded fer, when Phil.whispered, "Ac¬ knowledge the compliment, Aiintie. 'Tis meant for you. Quick 1 'tis Tommy Mo-, Phelan.^' .
I obeyed meohanioally, and Captam HcPhelan came forward, as fine a speci¬ men of a fatnre soldier as I could desire tosee. He was sufficiently tali and thor¬ oaghly develoyed in form, his hair had deepened in tint to a clear chestnut, hia honest, fearless eyes shone with pleasnre, a brilliant color broke throngh the brown hue of his oheeks, and glowed on his fresh lips, while the light of a generous purpose gleamed throagh and over all.
" I can't thank you enongh, he said, grasping my hand. " I wanted powerful¬ ly to go to Holly grove but I couldn't; so I wrote to Mr. Stuart and begged him to persuade you to oome here. I felt as if I must say good-bye, but I shouln't havo ventured to aak wholly on my bwn ac¬ count. I wantod you to see my company. I've raised it myself, ma'am, and we've enlisted for the war. ¦ I've yrovided for theold folks; and Kose—that's my sweet¬ heart, ma'am—she waa willing I should go, so I thought I ought to. You see I'm stout and well, ma'am, and there's many that go that isn't; and then I've part of roy family witb me. The first lieut«nant, he's my cousin; mam;"—I shook hands with the first Beutanant— "and the second lieutenant, he's my cousin, too"—a shake with the second lientenant—" and than «&a of the ser-. geants and two of the corporals are cous¬ ins, in a way, ma'am; that is, the're aec¬ ond cousins like."
Thia time I dismounted and proceeded to a shake with the sergeants and corpo¬ rals. Phil, had gone nearly throngh the company -with smiles, and greetings, and good wishes, and I might have followed his example, but word cane that the cats were ready. Thereupon, the captain and I grasped bands with fervent " God bless yon," the fife and drum struck up "Lo- chaber no more," and the men fell into line and marched into the depot. I har¬ ried to the platform outside, and waved my handkerchief until the train was out of sight.
I was wij ing the moisture from my eyes, occasioned doubtless by the duat, when Philip broke into a last ringing harrah, and then turning to me he said, " Nioely managed, wasn't it, Auntie dear? you didn't think that it was Tommy yoii'j were to see; and you didn't dream that tbe wagon was intended for you; and you had no suspicion of the compliment in store for you. You would havs refused the wagon and declined the compliment, which would have hurt Tommy."
" Y'es, but I would have come three times as far to see him, and tbat without coaxing."   .
I have heard sinee then from the oap¬ tain, and the lieutenants, and the sergeant, and the corporals, and the " boys" in gen¬ eral. Some are marching and camping, watching aud fighting; some are in the hospital, suffering and waiting. I have heard, also, from Kose, who is hoping and toiling. God bless them all! God bless every man who helps to carry the Stars and Stripes on toward the Southern Gulf! God bless every woman who weeps and prays for those who have thus gone from her hearthstone ! God bless onr commoa country and restore her, through union and peace, to her rank among the nations!

Beyond the Garden Gate.
" Children" said MrsT Jay, " you may play anywhere but don't go beyond the garden-gate. Do you hear me, Peter?" mother," eaid Petor, looking up from his wheel-barrow: "Donot go be¬ yond the garden-gate!" Mother then, seeing her little boy and girl quietly at play in tbe yard, put on her bonnet and ahawl, and went down atreet.
Peter and Jessie, his little sister, had nice plays together. He used to make believe horse, and draw her on his trucks, or she make believe a pnmpkin, and be carried in his wheel-burrow; or they would both make believe cows and set up a terrible mooing; indeed, there was no end to the different characters they took, all the while keeping very kind to each other. Their plays thia afternoon led them down to the bottom of the garden, where there was a gate, hasped inaide, whioh opened into a field of thick under¬ brush and trees, sloping down tJ a lower This was thi forbid-
BEE'VITIES. ¦Wise and Otherwiae. Crazy as George the Third was said to
have been, there was evidently a method in his madness at times. Speaking to Aroh-Bishop Suttou of his large family, he used the expression, " I believo your grace has better than a dozen ?" "No, sire," replied the Arch-Bishop, "only eleven." "WeU," rejoined the Kiog, "is not that better than a dozen ?"
Among the addresses presented npon the accession of Jamea I, was one from the anoient town of Shrewsbury, wishing his Majesty might reing as long as the aun, moon and stars endured. " Faith, roon," said the King to the persou who presented it,"my son then must reign by candle-light- Pat was hungry, and got of the cars for refreshments. The oars very thought¬ lessly went on. " Ye spalpeen!" he cried, starting on a rnn and shaking his fiat as he flew f fter them. " Stop there ye old stame waggin, ye murtherin stame engine, ye've got a passenger aboard thafs left behind!"
The riohest genius, like the.most fer¬ tile soil when nncnltivated, shoots up in the rankest weeds; and instead of vines and olives for tbe pleasure and use of man, produces to its slothful owner the most abandant orop of.poisons.
A taverii keeper at Leigh, Lancashire, England, is apparently too proud to adopt the usual sign of hia calling, and prefers to annonnce it by the somewhat pithy in¬ scription just over his doorway—"My
Sign's in theCellar." 	
"Why don't your father take a news¬ paper?" said a gentleman to a little nrehin, whom he caught in the act of pilfering one from his door step. " Cause he sends me to take it." The police are'after the perpetrator of the following connndmm: Why is a lovely young lady like a hinge? Be¬ causo ahe is spmething.to a-dore.
<? Was your son engaged before he went to the war?" aaked Mrs. Eugg ofa neigh- :bor. ''  ' ¦ ' ¦
"No,bnthe has,had several en^ge

den gate. ;
"I wish we could go out into the woods," said Peter; " perhaps we should find a bird's nest." Peter unhasped the gate, and he and Jessie looked and saw the pretty woods. " But whatdid mother tell ue?)' aslced Jessie. "Perhaps sho was afraid of bears," answered Peter," or the water in these woods, or something; but there are no bears. Oh! there's a squirrel on that tree! See him, see him, Jessie;" aud away ran Peter to the woods, and atcay ran Jessie after him. Tbe squirrel hid, and the children went on, hoping to find another. They strayed down a bank, and came to a brook and litttle pond. " Mother thought we'd fall into this pond, and that's the reason she cautioned us against coming here," said Peter; " but we shan't, sh?ll we, Jessie ?" " No," answered Jessie, " we won't." And so they ran round, and tumbled about, and picked flowers, and at laat got baek to the garden-gate safo and unharm¬ ed, without anybody knowing tbey went. "Jessie," said Peter, "don'tyou tell." "Not if mother asks?" asked Jessie. " She won't ask," said Peter.
Mother did not ask, por did Jessie tell, and all went on at home as usual. Sat¬ urday night, after tho children were washed, and Jessie had gone to sleep, Peter and his mother talked together, as they often did on Saturday night. Peter said: " Mother I have been in the woods heyond tho garden-gate this week." "When did you go?" she asked. He told her. "And mother," he said, " nothing happened to us there; we didn't fall into the water, or toar our clothes; no bears ate ua np. Why didn't you want us to go?"
"Y'ou lost something that aftemoon in the woods," aaid his mother. "Lost something!" said Peter; and he thought of his knife, slate pencils, and his ball and a three-cent piece in his pooket; he hadn't lost one of them, he was quite sure. "Yes,'' repeated his mother, "think a moment what you have missed, for I know you have lost aomething." Peter for a moment thought his mother must be a spirit; for how eould site know when he didn't know himself? "You wdl re¬ coUect if you think," said she. Peter pnt his head under the bed quilt, for he began to see he had lost something; and the more he thought, the more sure he was of it. "Mother," he at last said in a little sorrowful voiee, "I did lose some¬ thing in those woods, I did; I lost ihe happy out of my heart." Ah, that was it; and a sad loss it is when a child loses the happy out of his heart.
It does not always oonoern a chUd to know wlty his parants forbid him this or that; Ais duty is obedienoe. Nor because nothing befalls him in a course of diso¬ bedience, must he conclude no harm is done at all. Peter and Jessie got home safely; but was there no harm done ?— Yes, yes; tbe happy left their little hearts. They were afraid—afraid their moth¬ er would find it out. This is the way do¬ ing wrong wrongs you. It wrongs yon out of that peace and oomfort whieh God made you to enjoy; and all Peter's play in the woods did not make up for this loss untill hS told his motber and received her forgiveness with her good-night kiss.
other can be seen working upon their oharaoters as clearly and busily as that black-headed worm was seen boring into the tree.
One of those boys or girls is reading this line just now. I have a whisper for you, my- little friend, I don't want to speak it out loud, so I just say softly in your ear:
"Ifyou let your one great fault alone it will min your soul!"
There, think of this, wiU you ? Think of it, my child, until you are afraid to keep your fault Then go to Jesus and ask him to wash it away in his moat pre¬ cious blood, will you ?
Ihe Phiipsppher and the Child-
A philpsopher aaked a litie girl if she had a soul. She looked up into hia face with an air of astonishment and offended dignity and replied:
"To be sure I have."
" What makes you think you have ?"
"Because I have," she promptly re¬ plied.
" But how do you know you have a soul?"
" Becanse "I do know," she answered again.
It was a child's reason; byt the phUo¬ sopher could hardly have given a better.
"Well, then," said he, after a mo¬ ment's consideration, " if you know you have a soul, can you tell me what your sonl is?"
" Why, said she, " I am six years old, and don't you suppose tbat I know what my soul is ?"
" Perhaps youdo. IfyouwiUlellme, I shaU find out whether you do or not."
" Then you think I don't know," she replied, " but I do; it js my think."
" Your think!" said the philosoper, as¬ tonished in his turn; " who told you so ?"
" Nobody. I should be ashamed if I did not know that without being told."
Tbe philosopher had puzzled hw brains a great deal about the sonl, but he could not have given a better definition of it in so few words.

" Tes/' replied his friend, who was a naturalist; "but see! here is a wood¬ worm forcing its way undei the bark. If you let that worm alone it will kill the tree."
The worm waa a mean-looking,.black headed thing about tbree inches long.— The owner ofthe tree pooh-poohed at the idea of ohe such worm killing so noble a tree, and said:
"Well, well, we'U see. TU let the worm try it."
-The worm soon worked its way under | tbe bark. The next summer the leaves of the tree dropped off very early. A year later it was a dead and rotten thing. One worm had killed it     OnJi/ one!
