 Then for season the soldier seemed quite himself again. and people said : He will live" and they prayed that he might But their hopes and prayers were vain. Deaths seal was on the soldier and there was DO release.
 The last days ot the soldiers lilo were the most beautiful of All-but what A mockery of ambition and fame, and all the grand pretentious things of life they were They were the triumph ot a hu- man heart, and what Is better or purer or sweeser than thatI

 Away beyond the western horizon upon the prairie stands a lit,le home over which the vines trail. All about lt is the tall, waving grass, and over yondsr Is the swale with legion of chastertng black perched on its swaying reeds and rushes. Bright wild ho Sers bloom on every side, the quail whistles an the pasture fence, and from his home in the chimney corner the cricket be. gins to chirrup an echo to the lonely birds call. h this little prairie homo we sec man holding on his knee little girl, who is telling him of her play as he smooths her fair curlS oS strokes het tiny velvet hands; or perhaps she is singing him one ot her baby songs, or asking him strange questions of the great wide world that is new to her; or perhaps he binds the wild flowers she has bron Sht into a little nosegAy fot her new gingham diess, or-but we see it all. and SO, too, does the soldier, and SO does Nellie. and so they hear the black. brd's twit,er and the quau bhtu CAit anu tue ttlSket taiul echo. and all about them Is the sweet subtle, holy fragrance Of memory

HOUSEWIVES TO DAUGHTER.
,v MRs. wARGAREr k. WHITE

You little guess the eloneso1eaess that's com ing OCT my life, ;s,ssn ycu have left the farm and me to be
 Will Johnson's wife; Bu, suppose my mother felt just SO when from her side Your father came one summer day to carry home his bride. Ah me! how happy had been if Providence had spared Nv good old man to see this day, who all my feelings shared; But then would not bring him back, not even if might, Nor change one crook that's m my lot, for what God does is right. But as sit alone and think, see some things I'd change: might have made him happier then do not think it strange If should speak some warning words, to save YOU, if may, From making thoughtless, sad mistakes, to bring clouds o'er your way. So just remember, Hannah dear, that though you're pretty bright. IL may be very possible you'll not be always right; Perhaps when you are fretting OCT some other body's sin, You'll find the fault was all your own, if you would LOOK within. As when we washed the window panes to- gether face to face, So that the smallest spot or stain should find no resting place, You would insist, however hard to make you see tried, That every spot was my fault, when twas really on your side. And, Hannah, oh, be patient if you find Will sometimes slow; Your wits flash out like lightning streaks, as swift to come and go. Now lightning IS a handy thing in stormy nights, 'tis true, But after all steady shine is kind O useful, too. And if there's any difference comes 'iwlxt your good man and you, Don't stop to ask whose fault it is the only way to do Is just to take the thing in hand, and try with all your might, Before it grows too big to change, to fix it up all right. You know the dough when first 'tis set, is nodded we will But when 'tis baked we can not change it's shape for good or ill So now, when you are starting out in your new home, is just The time to see what ways younl set to harden into crust. But, dear, you II not succeed alone, no matter how you try; You'll have to go down on your knees, and ask help from on high. We soap and rub, and boil and rinse but after all, you know, it takes Heavens sun to make the clothes as white as new fallen snow.
 Good HoH5ekteping.
