Till you know how it ended down there,
An you won't blame the lad nor Ihe widow
Wlwn you hear what they both had to bear.

When the KoldierH marched up to the door,
An' Mid aa they'd got the Qneetj'ii orders
To take away Georgia once more !
An in they all come, the Queen' soldiers,
With thfsir handcuffs for joor , George's
wrists i i ; .
The Queen' cot more risht than the mother-
Neither him nor his mother rcninta !
I'ror lal, he warn't fit for a soldier,
With his nineteen years only jnst told :
He was mad with his laws when ho 'listed,
An bis life for a shillin', he sold.
Yes, Mor(rant, he'll stick to bin largain,"
He's thero, in the room at the hack,
Au' as truly an blood-hounds ye've scented
An' followed the lad on his track!
l.nt he Htarvcd for a week in the marshes
Afore he crawled in at that door!
Am' weary, broke down, an' half dyin'.
He dropped, falntin' dropped, on the floor!
Ho step gently, sergeant, step gontly, t A
For Gol's sake, men, don't let your guns
clank, . , .
An' ttie mothers who bore ye, au' nursed ye,
For this mother's sako shall ye thank 1
An' the big bearded men laid thfir mneketa
Alongwide the old cottage wall :
An' wo all of xx wont in eo softly.
You couldn't ha' heard a footfa'l !
An' there she was, bent o'er hia pillow,
Her face hidin' his from our sig'it,
An' her hands in his black hair was twinin',
An' look in' like dead hands ! so white ! j4-
The sergeant's hand placed on her shoulder,
" The sergeant's voice whisperin' low, ,
Mado her start, made her rise, made the hot
tears ' "'
Down her pale face quickly flow !
"What will ye?" she wailed; "want ye
Georgio? ? ' .
Come ye ma an' my poor lad between ?" .
"He mut," saya the sergeant, "go with us!
He belongs to hia country, his Queen I"
" Stand off ! he is mine ! come not near him !
ne has breathed iu these arms his last
breath ;
No Queen nor no army cau claim him.
He bolongs to his mother, and Death !''
An my heart a'most stopped in its beatin'
' As I looked on the widow's white cheek,
Whilo the soldiers with bent heads stepped
backward, :,
An' the sergeant in vain tried to speak!
Tlie light in his young eyes had darkened,
His voice with Death's silence was dumb :
Never more, Dan, hall poor Georgia answer
Friend, mother, or trumpet, or drum !
Onc more she cried out, " Get ye gone, menK
Your comrade no longer does heed
Your words, or you. threats, or your lashes :
My poor lad from this oath Death has
freed!"
An' she fell on liter knees by his beside, .
An' kiHHod the dead face o'er an' o'er
Thou necdu't be 'shamed o' thy tears, Dan ;
Let 'm come, if they ne'er come afore!

spirit to lead me . -where I eaa , make
Christmas fur somebody though I maj
not have one for myself. I pat on my
wraps and started. The streets were
thronged ; how brilliantly the lights
shone and what an array of ' Christmas
cheer they illumined. And then to see
the toys O, if I had only a child to
make happy with a gift. Why, here is
a whole bevy of ragged little urchins,
shivering around a pastry cook's win
dow. ; Now, good spirits, ; whose duty
it is to inspire us to generosity, I shall
commit no act of disinterested benevo
lence to night ; but will mdke these
youngsters happy if you will grant me
some reasonable recompense. So I
called them in, and bought as .they
directed. 1 They vere so engrossed and
so joyful that th y forgot to thank me,
and departed with arms full of good
things for their ilifiTerent homes. But
when they were gone the old lonely
feeling returned to me, and I thought
uncomfortably of my bachelor Christ
mas again.
I passed the iiext day somehow. I
gave a good deal to friendless little
ones on the street God's children
still holding firm'.y by my compact with'
my spirit friends, and asking frankly
for reimbursement. Why not? Have
not we the promif-e that if we cast our
bread upon the waters, after many days
it will return to ns? f L i ; t
On Christmas morning as I passed
out of my, door,. I found a- child sitting
quietly on the steps eating a -bunch of
raisins, ne lootea nearty ana com

sentrai at nrst at wnat seemed an nn
pardonable liberty in thus forcing a
great responsibility upon "tie, soon
became not only reconciled, but in
finitely happier than I ever expected to
be. My ; darlings grew in grace and
beauty, and became the very life of my
life. But from the moment of their en
tering my house I was haunted., by a
woman, who in spite of. all my -"efforts
baffled every attempt to see hex, plainly.
One summer eye, as I at in tny little
sitting room with the children, at din
ner, I became conscious of some strange
influence near me. and glancing around
I saw her through the open -window,
just melting out of sight . in - the dim
darkness. And .many , a time after 1
caught partial glimpses of a thin, wasted
form, but never once was I in a position
to catch or detain her. At last, moved
by compassion for what I knew to be in
that poor mother's heart, I posted an
advertisement on all conspicuous places
nearf my? dwelling, wmca rwas gome
thing like this : J
"If the .mother of Dotty and Lily
will come to trie openly she shall see
her children, without reserve. But in
case' she shall hareTeasons of her own
for not coming,. I would like to let her
know that hie to whom4 she gave them
thanks her with, a humble and happy
heart ;for her precious gift, and will
pledge himself ?never to prove recreant
to so sacred a trust.". . ; V s
iNbw,. so far from' this producing the
effect I had desired, it seemed to banish
the mother -entirely away, and it was
nearly twelve years : after the children

I was horribly lonesome. What could
I do with myself? It is only about
Christmas time that the responsibility
of my individuality hangs heavily upon
me : my business engrosses me for the
most part, for I had been more success
ful in money matters than in any other
interest in life. But now the holidays
wero here. Everything in my neat
chambera were orderly and comfortable,
and I had a real satisfaction in the feel
ing that they belonged to me. But
how lonesome they were. A fellow just
passed my tcindow with' a covered
uaaset on one arm. and on tne otner a
ailed him, ' I would like to have some
raisins ;'' and , stooped down beside
him. His face instantly cleared and he
commenced 'feeding me alternately
putting one grape in my mouth and one
in his. I thought I was doing him a
favor ; he knew he was doing me a
favor, and as the grapes disappeared
began to look uneasy. '
I 'i Ain't oo dot enough ?" he said. , '
O no, not half enough jet." .
. Es oo dot enough now ? dey'll make

rest, a good-sized handful into his own
mouth. Well, it was not fair, but I re
served my opinion of his conduct, and
asked him his name.

and soon left him dying. ! Miss Wilson
threw her arms around Jier neioe

tions r ' The appetite ia one of the least
appreciated of nature's gifts to man.
It is generally regarded in this work-a-day
world as something to be either
starved or stuffed to be gotten rid of
at all events with the least inconvenience
There are people who are
not only not glad that they have been
endowed with sound, healthy bodies,
for which nature demands refreshments
and replenishments, but they are actu
ally ashamed to have it known that they
are sustained in the usual manner. The
reason of this we are at a loss to con
ceive. Everybody admires beauty, and
there can be no true teauty without
good health, and no good health with
out a regular and unvarying appetite.
We are disinclined to let appetite
take any responsibility on itself. If
we Happen to consider it too delicate,
we try to coax it, perhaps stimulate it
with highly-seasoned or fancifully-prepared
food.' There are times when this
may seem necessary, as in the case of a
person so debilitated as to depend for
daily strength on what he eats. But,
usually, the cajoling process is a mis
take. If the appetite of an individual
in fair bodily condition be occasionally
slender, it is no cause for alarm, and it
should be allowed to regulate itself. It
may safely be considered na tare's pro
test against some transgression, and it
is wise not to attempt coercion.
At certain seasons, as in spring and
summer, the appetite of even the robust
is apt to fail, and the relish for meats
food to wane. This is all
for animal diet in warm
weather heats the blood, tends to head
aches, and is generally unwholesome,
unless sparingly used. On the other
hand, fresh vegetables, berries, fruit,
and bread are cooling, corrective, and
what the palate most craves. Don't be
afraid to go without meat a month or
so ; and if you like, live purely on a
vegetable regimen. We will warrant
