saw. The interest on the mortgage could
not be paid, and the house was adver-
tised to be sold.
The day of the auction arrived. Aunt
Nora had no shavings. nor anything
else, to kindle fire with that morn
ing; and she, and the little ones Laura
had left with her, would have Jared
badly, had not the neighbors kindly
sent in something for them to eat. The
poor woman was sick and in despair
! She was no longer able even to take care
of herself; and in few hours she would
be without a home.
She sat moaning in her chair, rock
ing sadly to and fro. The children were
at play in the court. The doors were
open, for it was pleasant summer wealth
er. Suddenly Aunt Nora heard voice,
and looked up.
A young lady, tall and well dressed.
stood on the doorstep, bearing in her
hand an object which presented the
strangest contrast to her cultivated man.

"Dear aunt, haze forgiven you, long

He went into carpenters shop as we
were passing, and got the shavings; but
see, Aunt Nora, there is something else

the children. And my husband will

Aunt Nora could hardly speak a word,
so great was her gratitude and joy.
The child her unkindness had driven
from her had returned like an angel OF
mercy. Her home was stilr preserved,
and she could still keep Laura's chill

An ArWy incident.

The country had few more efficient
servants, during the war, than the
"unwept. unhonored and unsung"
mule. Occasionally he was self-willed
and troublesome with his heels. But
that was his emphatic protest against
the unsympathetic handling of white
teamsters. A negro seldom had any
trouble with mule, owing to a mys-
ferrous affinity which adapted each to
the other. Again and again We have
seen negro make one or more obsti-
nate mules start that white drivers had
exhausted in vain their patience and
all their profanity upon.
Though a grave animal. the mule
was prolific of fun. At the most seri-
Gus crisis he insisted on joking. An in
cident, illustrative of this peculiarly,
occurred the morning on which Grant
assaulted the works Of Vicksburg. A
regiment, lying on the exposed side of
a hill, had fired away all of its cart
ridges. Two soldiers were detailed to
bring a supply. They went to the
ammunition wagon in the rear, and
strapped two boxes of 1000 "58s'' over
tie back of a mule. Starting for the
front, one soldier led the mule while
the other propelled him with a whip,
from behind. Just beyond the breast
works, it was necessary to pass over q
rise of ground which ran for dozen
rods in full view of the enemy, and
then terminated in q hollow and safe
place.
The two soldiers and the mule
emerged from the breastworks on q
run. But when on the top of the rise,
and not hundred yards from the enc
my's fort, the mule stopped, threw out
his heels and stood stock still. The
soldiers persuaded with whoops and
blows. They pulled and pushed; but
the beast fixed himself to that spot as
coolly as if it had been his favorite
baiting-place. Perhaps an inveterate
humorist, such as Theodore Hook,
would have taken in the fun of the
scene. The soldiers didn't; for bullets
were whizzing about their ears. They
couldn't run, for the cartridges were
needed. Screaming, one tugged at the
bride, while the other pounded the
TANKS. Suddenly, the bride slipped
over the mules head, and, with toss
of his heels, the animal started on a
gallop and ran right into the regiment.
He was caught, unloaded and tied to q
bush. When the regiment fell back,
he was left standing as an outpost, and
fell into the hands of the enemy

THE BASKET OF SHAVINGS.
CHAPTER I.

BECKY FAIRwEATHER, where have
you been all this while?''
1t was shril woman's tongue that
put the question; and it was timid
child's voice that replied, 'tpve just
been playing in the court here, along
with the girls. Please don't whip me,
Aunt Nora! Please don'tr'
Little Becky stood trembling at the
door, with face full of terror and en-
treaty, while the woman advanced up
on her with lowering look, whose
dreadful meaning the child knew too
WELL
"Therer' said Aunt Nora, giving the
little shoulders a rude shake. '.Now
stop your crying. I'll teach you to be
out playing with the girls, when I
Want you!''
II didn't know you wanted me,
Aunt Norar' sobbed the child.
''You might have known. Hush your
noise. Now take the basket and 90
over to the Dimmock house for shavings,
and don't let me hear another word
out of your head, if you know what's
good for yousef."
go aunt! it's getting so dark. I'm
AFRAID 10 60.
..What are you afraid of? There's
nothing to hurt good girls, and if you're
a bad child. it's your own fault. You
might have gone before shutdown.
Come. shall want the shavings to kim
die the fire in the morning; and the
longer you wait the darker it will be-"
20 aunt! l can't 60 into that old
house. The last time l was there l
heard something, and it wasn't half so
dark as it is tonight. I'll get up early
and 60 in the morning, if you'll let me.
o aunt do"
The aunt made no reply, but turned
to take down from its place on the en-
try hooks a switch, whose marks poor
little Becky's hands and arms had car
ried many a day. At sight of it, she
caught up the basket. and ran out of
house.
"Well, you betterr' said the woman
grimly. YOU'RE old enough not to
be afraid of the dark. You can see
well enough; and there's nothing under
the sun to be afraid of. Now don't you
come back into this house without the
shavings or you'll get such a whipping
as YOU never had in all your life!''
which was saying good deal, if Aunt
Nora only knew it.

'.No. you WON'T" cried the woman,
''not until you've told me what's the
matter, anyway. Has your aunt turned
you Quit?
"She hasn't turned me out, not quite,
but she made me 60 to the old house
for shavings in the dark, and I got
scared, and left the basket, and she
said l wasn't to 90 home without it
full of shavings; if did, she'd whip me
worse than ever"
So Becky, amid sobs. told her story.
Mrs. Cary put her arm kindly about
her. and spoke SO pityingly that the
child cried all the more.
"You needn't 60 home without it,
nor with it, if you don't want to. She
isn't fit to bring up a child like you;
I've known it, and the neighbors have
known it, a long while. So if you'll
come with me, I'll take you and give
you q good home till I can find a bet
ter one for you. So don't think of the
basket, but come along with me-"
Mrs. Cary's house was not far off;
and there the orphan found comfort
and kindness, such as she had not
known since her mother died. Only
one great fear now troubled her. 1t
seemed as though she might as well die
at once as let the time come for her
aunt to light the fire in the morning,
without the basket of shavings.
But children soon forget their trouble,
when blessed bedtime comes; and
Becky slept we'll that night, in spite of
her anxious thoughts. The next day
Mrs. Cary kept her in the house; and on
the day following, two strangers called
to see her-a gentleman and lady
who talked to her kindly, and regarded
her with an interest which Becky could
not understand. At last the lady said:
"Becky, we like you pretty we'll:
Mrs. Cary has told us good deal about
you; and, as we have no children of our
own, we would like to have you 60 and
live with us, and be our little girl.
What do you say?"
80 Mrs. Caryr' cried Becky. turning
to her friend, in terrified surprise.
Eyes, DEAR" said Mrs. Cary, cheer
fully. 81 know these good friends very
well: and it is for this that have sent
for them. They will give you a good
home and all the advantages girl can
ask. They live in another city, and you
will begin new and happier life with
them.''
"But," Becky faltered, joy and hope
getting the better of her establishment,
"my aunt"'
"She has no real claim upon you; and
it will be best that you should not see
her again, think"
"Oh! and then 1 shan't get whipped
for not carrying home the basket"
"No, no, childr' said the lady, TAX
ing the girl in her arms.
81 am so gladr' exclaimed Becky.
"Only-dear Mrs. Cary-l shall want
to see you sometimes; you have been SO
good to me-"

CHAPTER II.

Aunt Nora was very angry that first
evening at Becky's long delay in bring.
ing the basket of shavings. Then, as It
grew late, and the child did not come,
She was alarmed about her, and per.
haps little conscience-smitten at the
thought of her own harsh treatment OF
the orphan girl
Tom found the empty basket the next
morning, In the old Dimmock house,
but nothing was heard of Becky for two
days. Then came a letter FROM some
unknown person, in which were these
words:
"Do not be anxious about the child. She
has home among friends who will be kind to
her. They are as glad to receive her as you
lieved of a burden Of which you have 80 often
complained"
GOOD riddancer' was Aunt Nora's
first petulant exclamation, on reading
this letter. But she was not long in
finding out that Becky had been, after
all, less burden than a help.
When the dishes were to be washed,
or errands to be done, the good woman
scolded well because she missed the
services of her little drudge. Finally,
however, seeing every day how proud
and ungrateful her own daughters were,
she began to cherish very tender, re-
gretful thoughts of poor Becky, and to
hold her up as pattern to Josephine
and Laura.
"Becky never would have answered
me in that wayr' she would say; or,
Becky would have been kinder to her
aunt than you are to your own mother"
"Why didn't you treat her decently
then, and keep her, if she was so love-
ly" the young ladies would retort.
cit was to make ladies of you that
made slave of her, and this is all
the thanks l get for it!' was the usual
reply, winding up with sob.
Years passed, and never word did
the aunt hear from the lost one.
Meanwhile, the world did not prosper
with the poor woman. Tom turned
out spendthrift; when in want he
would always come back to his mother,
just as he was always sure to desert
her again when she was most in need
of him. Josephine, too, forsook her,
but afterward came home to die in her
forgiving arms. Laura married an
actor, and finally accompanied him to
California. leaving two young children
to be cared for by her mother.
Fortunately, Aunt Nora owned the
house she lived in, and, by letting
every part of it except two small rooms,
she managed to live, though in mis-
cradle way. But at last, to help Tom
out of one of his scrapes, and save him
from prison, she had to raise money
by mortgaging her house.
This money the scapegrace promised
to work faithfully for and repay; but, of
course, he never did. It is not easy
for young man to change bad habits
formed in boyhood. Tom could not.
Perhaps he had not character enough
left even to try. For that is the most
terrible punishment of wrong-doing;
one loses the power, often even the
wish. to do right.
The endwas what the neighbors fore
