was one OF The orphan children of Mr..
Gibbes sister, intrusted to him on her
deai h-bed.
The wailiDg ceased; there was silence,
broken only by sobs, and the master ask
ed:
child?'
No one spoke. Mr.. Gibbes turned to
his wife for counsel. As the two talked
in low tones, Mrs. Gibbes called her hus-
bands attention to Mary, who was kneel-
ing with clasped hands, in prayer, at the
foot OF the bed. In moment, the little,
maid rose aud came to them, saying,
calmly
"M other, l must go back after baby"
ooh, nv child" cried the mother, In
agony, ~ cannot let you!"

1t was afearful responsibility. The guns
yet roared constantly THROUGH the dark
ness; the house might now be in flames;
It might lbe filled with carnage and blood.

ing eyes, she looked at Mary.
through her sobs. Mary fell upon her
mothers neck. One long passionate EN-
brace, in which all mothers love and
devotion were poured out and the cling
ing arms were opened without a word
Mary sprang up, kissed her fathers fore
head, and sped forth ON her dangerous
mission of love. asa
The rain had now ceased. but the night
was still dark and full of terrors, for
through the trees she saw the frequent
nashes OF the great guns. The woods
were filled with the booming echoes. 30
that cannon seemed to be on every hand
She flew on with all speed. Soon she
heard the crashing trees ahead, and
knew that in a moment she would be
once more face to face with death. She
did not falter. Now she was again in
the fiercs whirwind All around her the
shot howled and shrieked. On every
side branches fell crashing to the earth.
A cannon-ball plunged into the ground
close beside her, cast oyer her a heap of
mud, and threw her down, She sprang
up and pressed on with redoubled vigor.
Not even that ball could make her turn
back.
She reached the house. She ran to the
room where the little child Usually slept
The bed was empty! Distracted, she
flew from chamber to chamber. Sudden
ly she remembered that this night he had
been given to another nurse. Up into
the third story hurried, and, as she push
ed open the door, the little fellow, sitting
up in bed, cooed to her and put out his
hands.
With the tears running down her
checks, Mary wrapped the babe warmly
and started down the stairs. Out into
the darkness once; onward with heI
precious burden, through cannon roar,
through shot and shell! Three times
she passed through this iron storm. The
balls still swept the forest; the terrific
booming filed the air.
With the child pressed tightly TO hel
brave young heart, she fled on. She
neither stumbled nor fell. The shot
threw the dirt in her face, and showered
the twigs down upon her head. But she
was not struck. In safety she reached
the hut, and fell exhausted across the
threshold.

travelling from Boston to Albany, several
months since, was met upon the train by
a couple of men, who, against her pro-
test, assumed charge Of her, representing
the lady to the conductor and passengers
as being insane and destined for the
hunatic asylum. 1t is asserted that the
villains took the lady from the cars at
Utica, placed her in carriage, and took
her 10 house on the outskirts of the
city, where they drugged and outraged
her, and where she was found by her

and almost insane condition. As yet the
perpetrators of the outrage remain undis'

To THE EDIToR
We will now go on a few steps further;
upon our left we are advancing to Il house
of the same material: plain, modest and
eccentric in its general make up. 1t has
the semblance of Il Quaker church. The
long, low building in the rear gives you
that idea-as shelter for horses during
meeting hours. We are now upon the
smooth stone step in front and have pulled
the bell. We call for the owner; he ad
vances and stands before YOU, an exact
counterpart of his residence, every way.
His form is slightly bent long, black hair
mingled with gray covers his head; keen,
searching, black eyes protrule from their
sockets; his cheeks are sunken and his
face is deeply imbuded with II saffron col.
ored hue; his rapid and energetic manner
of utterance give him the twang of n man
of sagacity-shrcwd in business calcua
tions, taking advantage ofevery little point,
so as to turn the aggregate of profits to his
own account. His great tenacity for hold

of bull dog. His abstemiuus way of liv.
ing an frugalily in every minuLie of life
will ctu>e no apprehension of his being
overtaken by any financial disaster, so as
to impoversh him TO that extent that he
could not rally at once. His measure, in
dollars and cents. is, two hundred and fif-
ty thousand and still he feels poor. Moth
ing peases him more than to see one con.
tinual stream Of lucre flowing unto him;

But we mist not ttrry here, as we have

will take us'to Il two story building on the

An old writer describes the human hand
as representing the life of the universe.
The thumb stands for deity, without which
The hand is powerless. The foretinger is
hkened to the angelic creation, the mid
die finger to man. the ring finger TO wo-
man. and the little finger to the animal
kingdom. These Stmtiies, if not yery
felicitous, are sufficiently quaint. In
many other ways the hand has been sup
posed to be emplematic. This symbolism
has penetrated TO the nursery. A nurse
will make child put its two palms TO-
gether, knitting them by closing the two
middle fingers. In this position the child
is told TO separate the two thumbs, which
1t does with ease, and thereupon is told
that =" brother and sister may part. 1t
is next asked to separate the forefnger
which also it easily does, and is informed
that " father and son may part, y then
it is required to separate the two little
fingers, and upon dong this is told that
. mother and daughter may part. " And
it is now told to Try to separate the two
ringingers. This, as the middle fingers
are locked together, it cannot possibly do
and Is thsreupOn told that wife and
husband cannot part.

, MY sCHIOOL,

sat IN tho school of borrow,
The Master was teaching there;
But my eyes were din with weeping,
And my heart oppressed with care.
Instead of looking upward,
Aud seeing His faoe divine,
So full Of tender compassion
For weary hearts like nine.
I only thought of tho burden,
The cross that before mo lay,
The clouds that hung thick above mo,
Darkeniny the light of day.
So, could not learn my lesson,
And say, "rhy will bo done,"
And the Master oamc not near no
AS the loaden hours went on.
AT last, Id despair, 1 lifted
My streaming eyes aboyo,
Ahaa I saw tho Master watching
With look Of plying lovo.
To the cross before mo He pointed,
Aud thought heard him say,
"My child, thou must tako thy burden
And learn thy task to day.
"Not now mny tell the reason;
'Tis enough for thee to know
That |, tho Master, am teaching,
Aud appoint thee all my woo.'
Then, knceling, the cross I lifted,
For ono glimpse of TINT face divine
Had given me strength to bear it,
And say, "Thy will, not minc!'
And 80 I learned my lesson;
Aud through the weary years
His helping hand sustained mo,
And wiped away my tears.
And ever the glorious sunlight
From the heavenly homo streamcd dow
Where tho aohool tasks ore all ended,
And the cross is exchanged for tho crow
