dred yards ahead of his company, aud was

killed three Mexicaus ,and mortally woun.

but though poor, lady, (and why not p
heard of his fate, and as he was an only
son, her heart yearped for bis release -
She wept at the thought, but while the
tears were streaming down her cheeks
suddenly she recollected that she was a
Mason's widow. Here lighted up her
bosom at the thought-she dried her tears
and exclaimed:
II will 60 and test the talismauic power

Sbesoid come articles of furniture, and
with the money reached the city of Wash.
iugton, on foot
In her dusty attire she entered the de.
partment of the Secretary of War, aud
with some dffculty obtained an interview.
As she entered the apartment in which
be was seated, aud he saw how dusty she
appeared, "Well ma'am," was the salu.
ton he gave her; but when she removed
her veil, l,aud be saw the visage of the lady
in her face, he half raised himself in his
chair and pointed her to a seat. She
told him of her sons capture, and wished
to go to him.
81 can't help you ma'an he replied,
ga very expensive journey to the city of
Mexico. Your son will be released by
and by on exchange Of prisoners
"Sir," said the widow, as the tears Of
woe rolled down her cheek, "can you not
help me to passport"
"Of course" he replied, ''that will be
granted to you by the Secretary of the
State Office, but you are poor, how do you
expect tie pay the ezpences of such jour
ney? 1t Is visionary scheme. Good
morning, ma'am"
Sir" said the lady, "will you be so
kind as to recommend ne to the officer

replied. Then turning to the page, he
said, who did yousay was waiting for
an audience? Tell them I am at leisure,
now"
"Sir, said the lady, 81 have ope more
question to ask before l leave your Office,
and pray you answer it-are you Ma.

dyes, ma'am, he replied.
"Then, sir, she said, "permit me to
say 1 am a Mason's widow-with this de-
claration leave your Office"
That moment the Secretary's manner
was changed to that Of more courteous
interest.
He entreated her to be seated until he
could write a few lines to the Secretary of
State. In few moments he presented
her with note to the Secretary, recon.
ueDdiDg her to his sympathy and friend.

"She will surely be killed." exclaimed
another.
"a mothers love is stronger than the
pains of DEATH" exclaimed a soldier.
"The God of battles will protect her, =
said a Tennesseean. "She will reach
Santa Anna safe and sound as roach"
The soldier was right-she went over
the field Of death and reached Santa An
ma unhurt. He received her politely, aud
when she told him her errand presented
her tallsman.
"Madam," said he, "I am mason,
and know the obligations of the Order in
pease and in war. When your son was
taken prisoner he mertally wounded my
nephew, who is now dead. but he shall be

He Immediately gave her az escort 20

So much for a mothers love; and SO
much for the protecting arm and noble

Who would not be Mason's wife,
