LITTLE MAY, OR THE REFUGEES
FRIEND.-CHAp. III.
BY MRS. SALLIE +. CHAPLIN.

For many days, Mrs. Ru,ledge lowered
between life and death, holly unconscious
.of everything surrounding her. 1t was
deeply affecting to listen to- her, in the
wanderings ofdelitium. Something's she
was in her own happy home Frank was
with her, and her bird like laugh rang
through the room, as she talked with
him Of "baby." Again the Federal ieuds
were driving her from herhome, and she
was 'ensreating them not to destroy her
husbands portrait, only. to give her that,
and keep all the rest. Then she .mplored
Heaven TO spare her child OF wildly
prayed to leave this cold, frleudess world
and be with her Frank forever. Mrs. Le-
Bruce couId not be persuaded to leave
her side for one moment. She took no
frest, except on the lounge in the chamber,
when the Doctor himself took her place.
Prayerfully and ,earfuIly she ministered.
1t was the ninth afternoon three phvsI-
Clans consulted at the bedside in low
a tone, Mrs. l.. watched anxiously tie coun-
tsnances, Dr. L. understood the mploripg
iook, and sadly shook his head
1t was too much, she could not give up
hope. Lamartine says, prayer Is born
out Of the deepest needs Of the human
soul. Mrs. l.. knew we'll its power-and
in this dark hour, with burJened heart,
che took her deep distress to Him who
said, Cast your care upon me-" I'm
ploring pardon for her neglect, she, like
the woman Of Canaan, besought her
Heavenly Father, to shave mercy upon
her" and spare her friend.
1t was midnight /: silence sat like a
spell on the watchers around the widows
bedside the Doctor himself moistened
the lips, and administered the potion
Again and again he bent to listen If she
still breathed. AT length, with beamng
eyes, he looked up and said, at is past,
thank. God she sleeps" Oh ! tho ines
tmable value Of a pious physician-one
with soul enough to feel for the sufferngs
of those to whom be ministers. The
Great Physician wept DER Lazarus dead.
And yet during this war have seen
Doctors treat brave, noble, suffering sol
ders as they would not dare treat the
slaves Of ene Of their patrons-cos,empt
ible chailatans; who had not the ability
TO initiate Alternately in anything but
bis ,coarseness.
At DR.. Thompson's suggestion Maum
Mamie was called, and seated where Mrs.
II. would see her when she awoke, which
was not until day light. Then she looked
earnestly around, as though trying to re.
call the past, and fixing her eyes on Nan.
ME, Whispered, "My baby"
"In hassen, with Mass Frank, Miss Lu,"
was the answer.
1t had not been a dream then they

their scale of prices to sixty cents per thousand
ems The price they have heretofore received
was fifty cents per thousand. The proprietor
