The Toledo Blade tells a story of a
Northern soldier who was made Grip
pie at Stone River. After the war, in
conversation with a comrade, he said /:

him, and threw me overheard, you

woman throw me off, but looked at
the question from her standpoint, and
it's all right Then / got worked up a
little, and thought had better steal
the children from the step-father. So
l went up to see them again. Would
you believe it? They said they didn't
want to live with me, if they had to
leave their mother. So / said all
right, and came away again. You see,
my girl is smart. She knew that, with
my lame leg and arm, 1 couldn't sup
port her right, and the little duck told
me so, with her arms around my neck.
That finished me, you know"
"But," said the friend, 1.-THE woman

catch the sound of immaterial wings,
whose arms were held that they could
not touch or embrace a spiritual pres
ence, whose eyes were dim-so dim
that If an infant spirit, with one deep
sigh, had fed into an angels bosom,
they would not have known, nor have
caught one CLEAN of the heavily smile
that such an infant might have turned
towards its mother when the wings Of
a purer guardian EMBODIED it, and a
face OF yet deeper love was shining on
it.
At length the visitor rose. "The
baby is very sound asleep now" she
said. Chow fair and still she looks
in the midnight / must go now,
Martha it grows late"
"Must you 60, miss Z" was the re.
ply. "Well, hope you Will tell your
mother / am kindly obliged to her for
the needle-work. / can sit and think
while l do it, and little time I've had
for that since | left her service"
Good night" said the young girl,
as she shut the door softly behind her,
lest she should wake the baby.
Poor Martha, she thought, as she
walked homewards, chow can she in
dulge in such wild wishes?"
Wild wishes indeed Yet the next
morning, as she passed down the vii
lage, though the father was again sing
ing that unmelodious song, the mother
was no longer rocking the cradle; and
entering the cottage she was made
aware that all those wild wishes had
been granted, even those which seemed
the most unlikely when they were ut
tered.
For the mother had looked down in
to the cradle, and had found that the
baby was gone, and she was not to see
her again, perhaps for years and years !
She had found this parting bitter
thing to bear; but in her heart of
hearts she had consented since she
knew that the Father who had adopted
her child would indeed be good to her,
and that in His house she would be
happy and holy, snd free from both
poverty and sorrow.
