Mother Did You hear that Can | stand
that?' On rainy nights he would get out Of
his window and pace up and down before
the house with an old musket as If on picket
duty, and was delighted that he could not
take cold. lie was dull at school, and his
tall head gathered the magisterial thunder
cloud, winch discharged harmlessly through
him. and protected the rest Of the scholars.
One day he left the house, turning as he
went and simply saying, Good morning,

this he had once enlisted at a neighboring
camp, but his father brought him back. Now
under an assumed name, he found bis way
into the Second Massachusetts Cavalry, and
all trace Of him was lost for a long time.
The mothers distress was at last relieved by
news Of him, and they began to correspond.
lie was perfectly happy, but found picket
duty rather more complicated than it was be-
fore the front-yard at home.
One day in the Autumn he took cold and
lay dangerously sick for several weeks. But
recovering, he went into skirmish beyond
Vienna, was under fire, always behaved well
and always was supremely happy. One day
he took a rebel lieutenant prisoner, and
brought him into camp.

When he left home he took with him moth

read from at his funeral. On examining it |
found that he had marked passages, which
his sense appropriated, by putting flowers

which showed that he understood the
President, and had his own thought on the
Contrahand question. And on carefully
lifting up rebel parsy, which stuck to Rev
xiii. @, 10, as if to mark it, there were words
made so opposite by his moral selection as
almost to startlc me: IF any man hath an
ear to hear, let him hear. lie that leadcth

kllleth with the sword must be killed with

of the saints So in the fragrance Of Scrip

laid him away.
But it was the plain honesty of such Ge-

page on which the divine in-bcng wrote its
latest word. The boy shared the instinct
that withslo0d and at last destroyed the
moral border stateism that was firs5 IN favor.
The volunteer answered % every r0ll-oall,
because he felt that the Republic held the
list, pronounced his name. and asked his life

him G0d's alternative OF being on bis side or

of duty staid in the camp and lighted It's

the visible portions of Gods image carved in

There is no marvel here; men who have ma
terial for faces shape their own,
each after the fashion Of his mind;
and as for mere countenances, nature cannot
exactly reproduce her OWN accidents and du-
plicate her blunders. You may send one ar
