Little Becky stood trembling at the

not be paid, and the house was adver-
tised 70 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 70 take care
Of herself; and In q few hours she would
be without home.
She sat moaning in her chair, rock

at play In the court. The doors were
open, for IL was pleasant summer wealth

and looked up.
A young lady. tall and well dressed,

hand an object which presented the
strangest contrast to her cultivated man

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 q mys-
terious affinity which adapted each to
the other. Again and again we have
seen a negro make one or more obsti-
nate mules start that white drivers had
exhausted in vain their patience and
all their profanity upon.
Though grave animal. the mule
was prolific of fun. At the most serl-
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 o.
hill, had fired away all Of its cart
ridges. Two soldiers were detailed 70
bring . supply. They went to the
ammunition wagon in the rear, and
strapped two boxes Of 1000 " 58s'' over
the back Of 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. il was necessary TO pass over
rise OF ground which ran for dozen
rods in full view Of the enemy. and
then terminated in hollow and safe
place.
The two soldiers and the mule
emerged from the breastworks on
run. But when on the top Of the rise
and not hundred yards from the enc
my's fort, the mule stopped, threw on
his heels and stood stock still. Th'
soldiers persuaded with whoops ant
blows. They pulled and pushed; bu
the beast fixed himself to that spot a
coolly as II il had been his favorit'
batting place. Perhaps an inveterat'
humorist, such as Theodore Hook
would have taken In the fun Of tn
scene. The soldiers didn't; for bullet
were whizzing about their ears. The.
couldn't run. for the cartridges wer
needed. Screaming, one tugged at IN
bride. while the other pounded tn
