THE WAY OF LIFE.

OF daily tasks burdensome
And when the self-same way leads on,
Through all the days and years 10 cohss
Our hearts grow weary of the strife
Where gloom doth always shadow cheer.
And beat so slowly 10 the WORDS;
The way of Hfe-how long and drear!
But when we watch the setting sun,
Or walk among the harvest sheaVes.
Or listen TO the tOlliug bell,
What time a passing spirit leaves,
The radiance of Cod great love
BY which he claims US for his own.
Breaks over al the pathway drear-

The wind shook the stable, ratified
the windows, knocked impatiently at
the closed half of the door, fluttered
the straw in the forward stalls, flick
cred the lanterns light. Out into the
wind and suffering rain went Jane
and the horse. She had led him
through the stable-yard, out through
the carelessly open gate. 1t was good
weather to be in the house, not
weather to tempt idle loungers out
doors.
1t was Il most 'unseemly thing for a
young woman, unattended. to dash
up at half-after twelve O'Clock at
night to Il sentry guarding the out
post of camp. and demand to be
taken to his commanding general;
or, if not to Gen. Lafayette himself,
then to Col. Jocelyn, of the Continent
tai forces. When at last she was face
to face with Col. Jocelyn, he listened
gravclv to what she had to say and
FASTENED to headquarters. The sleep
ing camp was hurried into wakefnl-
ness. Her tale was believed.
Col. .Jocelyn urged her to allow him
to send an escort back with her. but
Jane declined. Vet the riding back
was harder than the coming. She
and Beetle had no enthusiasm to sus-
