HettcMh 11 io hot midsummer sun, Th a men had marched all day; And now beside a rippling stream, Upon the gvass they lay. Tiring of games and idle jests, As swept the hours along, They called to one who mused apart, "Come, friend, give ua a song." "I fear I cannot pk-ase," he said; "The only songs I know Are those my mother ti.-wd to sing l'or me long years agj." "Sing one of those," a rough voice cried, "There's none but true men here: To every mother's son of us A mother's song is dear." Then sweetly rose the singer's voice Amid unwonted calm, "Am 1 a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, "And shall I fear to own His cause?" The very sireatn was stilled, va i beans that never throbbed with fear, With tender thoughts were filled. Ended the song, the singer said, As to his feet he rose, "Thanks to you all, my friends, good night, God grant us sweet repose."- "Sing us one more," the captain begged; j he soldier bent his head, Then glancing 'round wtth smiling lips, "You'll join with me," he said. "We'll sing this old familiar air," Sweet as the bugle call, "All hail the power of Jesus' name, Let angels prostrate fall." Ah! wondrous was the old tune's spell, As on the singer King. Man after man fell into line, And loud the voices rang! The songs are done, the camp is still, Naught but the stream is heard ; But ah! the depth of every soul " By those old hymns are stirred. And up from many a bearded lip, In whispers soft and low, Rises the prayer the mother taught The boy long years ago. Chicago Inter-Ocean. THE RIVALS. "Yes, sir. That old shuntin en j;ino that's puflin and snortin like a broken winded old horse could tell a tale, if it wasn't so short o' breath. ' That's the very engine old John Wright used to drive when I was hi stoker. Let me see I've been drivin' three year aye, it'll be ten year coma next September, lie stood six foot one-and-a-half in his stoekin's, and was broad in the shoulders, too. In his creasv peaked cap and oily blue jacket he looked a giant. lie was a queer tin. 1 used to toll hi in he needed a wife to look after him. 11a, ha ! He always made his tea vi' water out o' th' engine boiler, an when I laughed at him he'd slap me on the back, and say, 'What's good for the horse is good for the rider, Harry.', Ho was a rare old sort." "Was he an old man?" "O, no; he'd be -iO odd, I sup pose, but I was a youg man of 28, and he seemed old like, to me. As I've said, he was a bachelor, an', as far as I knew, likely to remain one , There wasn't much of the ladies' man about John. Hut still waters run deep, they say, and John Wright had his little secret. "About three mile out o' town I used to notice that he whistled three times and always looked across a couple o' fields a bit far ther on, as if he were look in' for soniethin'. I asked hint once or twice what it was, but he edged me off, and changed the subject, sq I didn't press it. But I kept my eyes open. "It was early in winter when first went on to stoke for John, an' of course, bein a goods train, it was generally get tin' for . 8 o'clock at night when we passed this par- tic'lar spot, bound for IJarnham, GO mile away. It's 'up bunk,' as I dare say you know, from here to Longbridge, eight mile up the line and we never got any great speed on until we'd passed that length, especially when we'd a heavy freight. But all I could make out for .some months was the dim out line of a cottage that had an 'up stairs' window with a red blind The cottage lay a couple 6' fields away. What made me notice the red blind was that, as we passed, the window was always suddenly lighted up. "Aye, an so was John Wright's face soon as ever he saw it. Sued a smile an he had a kind face haa ojd joiin nn men lie u seem lost a bit, as if lie were thinkin'o something as was good to think about. "I couldn't make it out, for you see I looked on John as a nuisly, crust y old bachelor, for all he was iuch a good sort. I'ut the night lights let the see ret out. It were noueof his keepin histongii'-' tied then; for there, in th' little front garden, across them two little fields, was a pink frock, an a atm bonnet aa a little hand lluttcrin a .- - . - .-.

'Then, bit by bit, it all came AUt. John and her' father, who used to be point man at Chubb junction, half a mile farther up the line than the cottage, had been lads together. ' John had gone up for a 'camp' every Sunday for many a year. He'd known Man Mathers since she was born, an when she was a little lass he'd nursed lu-.r on h"s. knee, nl told her he'd wait for her. I dare sav lie meant it in fun at the time. but, as she grew up, he knew he liked to be where she was better than anywhere else in the world. That's how he put it, sir. Then Tom Mathers, her father, fell ill, an I learnt afterward, an I guessed even then, that John Wright made his wages keep four instead of one. Mary's father never worked again. He was on his back for eighteen months, an then he died. "An then, you may be sure, John was a father to the father less, an a husband to the widow as far as lookin after 'em at any rate only ho wanted to be a hus band to the daughter, Mary. Of course, I learnt this bit by bit, an I can't help fillin in things as come to my ears after, for John was never the man to blow his own trumpet. Ha, ha ! He was well content wi' the steam whistle es pecially when passing Railway Cottage. Poor John ! "Well, to cut a long stoiy, Mary seemed to make no objection. Why should she? She'd never met any body she liked bettes, and a finer fellow than John Wrisht never walked. He got her to promise to ight the lamp in the room wi' the red blind on dark nisrhts as he passed on his engine, and to give him a wave of her hand on light nights, for he said it was somethin ' to be goin on with like. He'd a touch o' sentiment in him, had John, aje, he had that. "One Saturdajr night he says, 'Harry, you'd better walk o'er wi' me to-morrow.' " 'Walk o'er wi' you,' I says. Where!.' 'I'd like you to know my Mary. And then you can tell me what you think o' my sweet heart.' And as he said it that sweet, far off look came in his face, and I knew he loved that lass as few lasses are loved. 'Well, I went, an I wished at the time I'd staid away. It was love at first sight wi' me, and I felt I should never, never be the same again, una lorer me. hut atter that Sunday I felt at times I hated John Wright. When she stood at the stile, at the crossing midway between the cottage an the signal box as she did every evenin from the very day I w ent wi' John an waved her hand to him, bashful- like, an he threw her a clumsy kiss, I felt I could ha' knocked him off the engine. L IT I 1 . "i i iougnt again it an, you must understand, I didn't feel that wa)T all the time, for we were good friends, and no one would have seen a difference. But when he talked of her in his quiet way of bein wed an sich like it was like knives in me "Then he pressed me to go again and spend a Sunday at the cottage I put him oil", but he wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. So whether for fear of hurt in his feel ins or because I couldn't keep away, I can't say, but I yielded and went. After that I went sever al times, an each time I got deeper an deeper in love with John's sweetheart, aye, and what seemed worse, I couldn't help knowin that Mary. was troubled the same way. But I will say this,-1 never tried to make Mary love me, and never a word of love passed between us, t 1 I T i I 1 1 T hut sometimes i uiougnt l saw trouble in John's eyes, and then I'd vow to myself to go no more.

Mr Jesse Snotherlv, of Mont- 7 gomery county, in a battle in the late war, found a Federal soldier between the lines wounded in one knee and unable to get away while the dry leaves, etc., - were conducting a fire that would have burned him to death. The unfortunate man's cries for water especially drew the atten tion of Mr. Snotherlv and elicited Ins pity. He hastened to clear away the litter from around the man and also brought him a can- teen of water and left him to fol- low the lino of duty and perso rial safety. Not, however .until he had given the grateful man his name and address. Here all seemed to end but not so. The wounded Federal recovered and we are told recently opened cor respondence with his benefactor and enclosed to him his check for $800.

"Living about fifty miles north of the town in which I was impatient! v waiting for -1. 01 something to do, was an eccen tric old fellow who owned enough land tomak three or four counties and enough cattle to feed the ar mies of the world. "As I was pacing up and down 4:he little ollice one morning, won dering what I could go at if mv first case didn't come soon, I an swered a knock at the door to meet a young lady who had all the glow and vigor of the cultured eastern woman. While I was try ing to recover my breath she told me that she was a messenger from her father who had heard that there was a new lawyer in town, and wanted his opinion in a mat ter that threatened to he a law suit.

No More Birds In the Hat. Boston Dispatch. A circular from the office of the chief of district police, giving the text of the present. law for the pro tection of birds, has been sent to dry goods wholesalers, retailers and milliners all over the State. While the local police are charged with the enforcement of the law the same as they are of every other general law of the State, yet Chief Wade, of the district police, has taken the initiative in this matter because tlio officers of the State po lice alone have the right to enter mercantile establishments to look after the enforcemeut of a law without having a warrant. They have the right to search, and so can proceed better than the local po lice. Chief Wade believes that the law will be easy of enforce ment, for the mere possession of the feathers or body of a bird will wistitute sufficient evidence.. . i. vSShe., existing law, which is x- illeedy or feathers of a bird, as well as the killing, imposes a fine of $10 for the killing. The en forcement has Ix'en in the hands of the commissioners of inland fish and game, and the fact is, in the main, an act to establish close and open seasons for game. The exceptions from the j-rotec tion of the Stat a are the English sparrow, the crow blackbird, the crow, the jay, birds of prey and wild geese. The question conn how far the exception of these birds will open tho door to the vi-. elation of the law under the plea that some of the feathers belong to the unprotected species. The plumage ot the hlue jay is very beautiful, and .would make hand some head orniinients, as mich tilings go in the in!'inery world. It is probable that other unpro tected plumage could be utilized to do service either for ornament or for invasion of the law. It will be noticed that the act docs not relate- to the killing of birds in this State, but that it covers the plumage of birds bro't to Massachuse ,ts. Hence, to the extent of the Massachusetts d. maud, if the law is enforced, there will be protection extended to the oirds ol other states and coun tries. It would be impossible to prove killing in Massachusetts, eo there has been no effective way to protect thy song birds but to pro cecd against the entire fashion and to attack it wherever it shows feather. While the new law will doubt- ess be looked v.pon by many wo men as needless, yet there is a backing of social strength, as well as of mere', behind it, for the Au dobon Society includes many prominent women of Boston, Cam bridge, Broo.kline, and of large places all over the State. The plea which they make is of mercy for the birds, which are slaughter ed by millions for women's orna ment. The act of the Legislature was more on business than .merci ful grounds, for the wholesale de struction of the song birds has re sulted in the marked increase of insect pests, and hence the destruc tion of the crops. Itwill be easy for the women to make it popular to observe the law, and if the members of the Audobon Society help the police .authorities in the enforcement it will be possible to make the law a success.
