in surgery have made him pre-eminent in his pro-
fesson, and whose respectable standing in society
recommends him to the confidence of the commn

CHEERFULNEss AT HoME.-Among
parents, calmness, patience, cheerful
good nature are of vital importance.
Many child goes astray, not because
there is want of prayer or virtue at
home, but simply because home lacks
sunshine A child needs smiles as
much as flowers sunbeams. Children
look beyond the present moment. If
a thing pleases. they are apt to seek it !;
if it displeases, they are prone to avoid
it, If home is the place where faces
are sour, and words harsh and fault6nd-
ing is ever in the ascendant, they will
spend as many hours as possible else
where. Let every father and mother,
then, try to be happy. Let them look
happy Let them talk to their children,
especially the little ones, in such way
as to make them happy. Solomou's S
rod is great institution, but there are
cases not few where smile or pleas
ant word will serve better purpose,
and be more agreeable to both parties.

a strap fastened ssupon the shoulder.

Late that night the door of the ''back

Late that night the door of the ''back
stoop' opened softly and little figure
glided out, and down the foot path that
led to the road by the mill She seem
ed rather flying than walking, turning
neither to the right or left; starting
not as the full moon stretched queer,
fantastic shapes all round her, looking
only now and then to Heaven, and fold
ing her hands as if in prayer.
I've hours later the same young
girl stood at the Mill Depot, watching
the coming of the night train, and the
conductor as he reached down to lift
her in wondered at the sweet, tear
stained face that was upturned toward
the dim lantern he held in his hand.
A few questions and ready answers
told him all, and no father could have
cared more tenderly for his only child,
than he, for our little Blossom.
She was on her way to Warrington,
to ask President Lincoln for her broth
er's life She had brought Bennie's
letter with her; no good, kind heart
like the Presidents could refuse to be
melted by it.
The next morning they reached New
York, and the conductor found suita-
BILE company for Blossom, and hurried
her on to Washington. Every min
ute now might be a year in her broth
er's life.
And so in an incredibly short time,
Blossom reached the Capitol and was
hurried at once to the White House.
The President had just seated him
self to the morning task of looking
over and signing important papers,
when, without one word of announce
ment, the door softly opened, and
Blossom, with her eyes down cast and
folded hands, stood before him.
"Well, my child,'' he said, in his
pleasant, CHEEKY tones, "what do you
want so bright and early in the morn

''Bennie's life, please sir, faltered
Blossom.

"My brother, sir. They are going
to shoot him for sleeping at his post.
"Oh yes,' said Mr.. Lincoln, as he
ran his eye over the papers before him
Il remember. 1t was fatal Sleep
You see, my child, it was at time of
special danger Thousands of lives
might have been lost through his cul-
pable negligence"
$50 my father said,'' said Blossom
very gravely, "but poor Bennie was so
tired, sir and Jenny so weak. He did
the work of two, sir, and it was Jem-
mys night, not his, but he was too
tired"
"What is this you say child? come
here, don't understand and the kind
man caught eagerly, as ever, at what
seemed to be a justification of an of
! fence.

DEAR FATHER When this reaches
you | shall be in eternity At first it

about it SO much now that it has no ter

would be fighting gloriously; but to be
shot down like dog for nearly betray-

father, wonder the very thought does
not kill me. But 1 shall not disgrace
you. l am going to write you all about
it, and, when / am gone, you may tell
nay comrades. / can't now.

Carr's mother / would look after her
boy, and when he fell sick I did all I
could for him. He was not strong
when he was ordered back into the
ranks, and the day before that night
l carried all his luggage besides my
own on our march. Towards night we
went in double quick, and though the
luggage began to feel very heavy, ev-
e:yboddy else was tired, and as for
Jenny if had not lent him an arm
now and then he would have dropped
by the way. I was all tired out when
we came into camp, and then it was Jem-
my's turn to be sentry, and would have
no taken his place, but I was too tired,
father. I could have kept awake if !
had gun placed at my head, but did
not know it until-well, until it was too
late"

Owen, reverently, II knew Bennie was
not the boy to sleep carelessly on his
post

nothing but beg and entreat to let him
