The Soldier Ror nt Home.

When the soldier boy, still in camp, came home on a two-days' furlough his blithe sister scared up a tin plate somewhere, which she set at his place at the table with tin cup beside it. She wanted to have it look natural, she said. And the soldier boy laughed, and said the plate was all right, but he didn't want to drink out of tin cup. The basis of this feeling could not even be guessed by the boys father, who had himself in other days carried a tin cup tied to a haversack; but he didn't ask about it, nor did anybody else They gave the boy a china cup, as they would have given him anything else they had for the mere asking, Ard before the food was brought the 9iithe sister removed the tin plate and substituted for it the best china plate that the house contained. And then they led him on the fatted calf. They'u bring out all the eroekery and kill the whole menagerie when the boy comes home.-N. Y. Sun.
