When Harry got home he found
Sarah sewing by the Preside, with Joe
and Betsey playing by the bed. Sam

mo mall" he answered.
Sarah went to the window and stood
fer some minutes looking out at the
plain. Its sere grasses, protruding out
Of the snow, Kissed and bent in the
wind. In it's cheerless winter colors
It was a dreary thing to see.
"How I long for home!" she ex-
claimed, as she resumed her sewing by
the fire.
Little Joe came and stood by her
knee and gave his oft. repeated bless
ing:
"God help us and make His face to
shine upon u.s." 80
She kissed him and said: Dear COM
forter! 1t shines upon me every time
I hear you say those words" h.
"Would you mind if I called you
mother" Harry asked.
Il shall be glad to have you do it II
It gives you any comfort, Harry" she
answered.
She observed that there were tears
In his eyes.

said, as she bent to her task.
Then the boy told her the history of
his morning-the ak with BIN, with
the razor omitted from it.
well, Harry, if she's such a fool,
you're lucky to have found it out SO
soon," said Sarah. "She does little but
ride the pony and play around with a
gun. I don't believe she ever spun a
hank o yarn in her life. She'll get her
teeth cut by and by"
Then fell a moment of silence. Soon
she said:
There's a bitter wind blowing and
there's no hurry about the rails, !
guess. You sit here by the fire and
read your book this forenoon. Maybe
It will help You to find your work"
So 1t happened that the events of
Harry's morning found their plnce In
the diary which Sarah and Samson
kept. Long afterward Harry added the
sentences about the razor.
One evening Sarah and Samson,
With Harry, went to q debate In the
tavern on the issues Of the day, In
which Abe won the praise Of all for an
able presentation Of the claim OF In
teFnal improvements. During that
evening Alexander Ferguson declared
