"Oh, dear," said tidy Mrs. Jewett,
"there is Williein the parlor agaiu with
his muddy hoots, and Jennie has lingered
the woodwork of the piano all over, I see,
that I polished so nicely only yesterday. I
know the door ol the spare room has been
left open, too, for the muslin curtains are
pulled ull away, where pussy must have
frolicked in the folds: and, dear, dear,
there's .lack this minute, w'uli his feet in
that stiill'idcliair!"
Cmnr, loiiie, mother, I KuiMn't fret,"
said easj Mr. .lewett: "tho children must
put their feet somewhere, and I supposed
kittens will be kilteus and tly about where
they can liml the most fun."
"Oil, yes,' rejoined Mrs. Jewett, ''It's'
very easy for you father, to think children j
and eats can js where they like and do as
they please. I'm not fretting, but it's hard
work to sweep and polit-h, and do clear- j
tarrhin;r: and men never did know and !
never will know anything alaiut the Work !
of a housekeeper and a mother."
So saying, Mrs. .lewett, with her fair,!
pretty face all in wrinkles, went out of the I
ro.iiu with a worried : j
'Oh, dear I" !
And her hiL-baml looked after hor wilh !
a compassionate :
"l'oor mother '."
Naturally Mis, Jewett was of a happy
dispusitioii, hut like many another fond,
faithful mother, .-ho was uneomciou.-ly
I'allinfe into the habit of worrying over the
inevitable faults and thoiiglitleiicss of her
children.
She was a scrupulously neat hou-eke. p-
er, and as her things had nut come us easi
ly us they do lo in my others, tliey ac.iiir
ed all the more vuloeand importance in lo r
eyes, once they ciine into her possession.
Hut I lie usual n sllcSMi.'Ss of hoys and
girls, and even poor capering kilty herself,
was fast developing iuto Mrs .lewett that
irritating trctftiluess and impatience which
kills true happ.ncss and comfort in many n
hi'tiie, and where the mother's real object
is to make alius comfortable and happy as
possible.
In vain Mr. Jewett hinted lh.it things
were always going wrong, somehow, and
that there was no end of peevishness and
fault finding taking root in his family.
At such limes Mrs. Jewett would shed
teals and declare no one could do more
than spend id their time and energies
for the welfare of their family, as she
did.
line morning tboeurlaius were iliseover-
d lo have been rolled up all to one side.
while ihe summer sun-bine was fhiodiiiL'.
with its wholesome light, the. bright pat
urn of ihe new Hrussels carpet. Jennie
and ('unie had left their school bunks scat
tered around on th ; chairs, and Jack's
nr.ul.lv bo-.ts stood in ihe middle ol the
ll.ior.
Mrs. Jew. tt burst into a tirade of dis
pleasure, but llie children weie out of
bearing, so instead .f j idi' i.iii-ly and pa
tietilly c.illiiu I In-ill in and obliging Mum
to put things in their places, she began
putling things lo rights lo rself, allowing
Mr. Jewell, asfreipu nlly happened, In bear
flur brunt uf her displeasure, inul f..r oii'-e
hi. g..t'd ir.iUir ' gave w..y, an I he s.ii.l,
JWtlislllvt
"l declare, wii'. it is a thousand
ios there arc any . hi! . n here, to Luther
y..u so."
Mis. ,1,-nelt made no reply, bin ci.ing
to bet room she silt do -I'll fol' a llioillelll
to cotieidci whether or n. t her husband
meant what he had just said.
Hut by degrees the room faded front lur
vi-ion.the houso became itiict terribly
iptit the sunlight died out, and shade and
stiltRss reigned supremo.
There were footsteps heard, but liiolied,
creeping, awed.
All of active life had ceased; oven the
kitty had taken herself off. and wan no
where to be seen.
Mrs. Jewett aroused herself, and went
from kitchiu to dining-room, from dining
room to parlor. The invariable order was
oppressive.
TLo curtain- wt re rolled with eiact even
ness; not the iiucst line of sunlight could
pierce through crack or crevice of the nice
ly adjusted sbutten,
Every book was in its place; the chairs
as guiltless of dust as if just cleaned, and
the tiublurrcd polish of the piano reflected
each undisturbed ornuiucut and object in
its vicinity.
Hut the children! ( )h, the children!
A great uppalling throb of apprehension
and withering pain shot uiircpressed
through the mother's heart at the locution
of their name.
Where was winsome no lunger wis
cbievoua but wilisomu- Willie ?
Where piay, were sKjrtive Carrie and
lively Jennie ? Where, loo, bounding,
lovely little Jack? "Yea," she said, vague
ly peering about in llio sunless gloom,
where ure my precious little childicn ?"
She left dining-room and parlor and
Went from one child a chamber to another
everything in the same depressing order
even their little beds were uuriitlled, each
smooth pillow looked as if unprcssed by a
sunny head, for oh, so long.
And, uh, misery! What was that in
Willie's room in the porcelain vase?
Some white flower tied wilh white sat
iu ribbon; and this heart-breaking emblem
in Jennie's room? 1 lor picture, swcot
child! Wilh a crown of fading flowers en
ending; it and here in Carrie's room her
picture, the darling, also crowned with im
mortelles. Aud Jack's room, forlorn in its tidiness;
yes, yes, a funeral wreath in his room, dear
loving little Jack.
Jlrs. Jewell's lirst impulse was to dis
arrange everything; ihe (pi'iet and palling
neatness were goading her madness; even
kitty had deserted the sunless, childless
Inline, but the children oh, ihe children!
The mother felt ns if In r brain were afire,
and her heart was bui.-iing with its pent
grief; she could not endure il another mo
ment and she awoke.
Thank God! f-lie was sitting direclly
in the rare, sweet sunlight which (Jod made
to come in, not to shut out of homes. In
the garden she heard the sweet, delight
some Voices of lur children the blcs-cd
children.
j Kitty, with fluttering liitle paws, was
j clutching with unchecked glee at the tiiswls
of ihe muslin curtain, and she noticed
I wilh asigh of relief that the in.thog my bu
j rcuu, with ils buruished surface, bad been
I p.iwcd with fiesh linger marks.
Mrs. Jewett arcs,' s'owiy, lockel the
dour, thou knelt doivu; after a while she
went forth, a uewipiict iu her heart, a n w
sinilo on her face.
In the tlitiing room she riti.-ed the cur
tains, so that the sunlight danced gaily
through the room.
Jennie catnii ill with a torn apum, and
was greet il with a smile of welcome rt nt
and all.
Willie had been using paste In the din
ing loom, and had daubed i fir cloth, deor
knob and his blouse, but mamma patiently
showed him how to clean Mm spots uwny,
and Willie proniisid with great sincerity to
be more careful another time.
The children had a gloriously happy day.
At night, when they were ull n-lcep, their
mother went from room to room, giuing
with pure thankfulness at each darling lit
tle sleeper, so dca" ah, so dear ! She
iglied, then smiled at the little p ue, lain vase
in Willie's room, lillcd wilh sweet, wild
flowers of bis own plucking.
Then she went to her own room, mid
tearfully told Ihe ''father" her teiril.lc
dream.
He kissed his wife's fair br .w fondly, and
said, soothingly :
'Never mind, dear; we're all right
now."
And they were. The timely warning
was not lost on the mother's heart, for she
never terint how terrible it was when in
dreams she roamed from one empty, order
ly room to ain.ih'T in ijuest of li.-r children
and could not ho. I tlieni. Ami tc re
solved llt.it she would not wait to place
whiu. flower, in tb. ii hands when the per
fume could uot roach the dulled sense and
their fading beauty would only break her
bcait; the children .should have the flowers
now, nhtle their d. ar eyes were open to be
hold them, and their beans slill alive to ull
of euith's cnml'orts and delights.
And we would that many another wile
uinl lumber, wh is drifting into habits of
ft et fulness and n. rvmistiess ibroutih undue
I'll'.' for ihe children's b-'die rather thin
tin ir souls "might dieaoi this lady's

KEEP INC UP APPEARANCE
.NnUoIIHI ItC. i'
Acreatdi al of the uiis- rv of mod. -in

appear;, lues, from trying In seem ricb.r
than we ale, (rout aping some clasi. Our
social siipi iioth uinl all classes in coiisc
ipit nee live beyond their means. Profess
ional men, in many ('uses trudesmeii, thus
leave no provisiuii for their children aftir
having bi. night them up iu habit-s of lux

or sham, and alt honest peopl.i should

Held writes the following thrilling deserlp
tioii of the bloody work or a battery of
six guns :
"Did you ever see u battery take posi

there is a peculiar excitement about il
that makes old veterans rise iu their sad
dles aud cheer.
We have been lighting ill ihe edge of the
woods. Every cartridge-box has been
emptied once or more, and oiie-lburtb of
the brigade has niched away in dead and
Wounded aud missing. Not a cheer is
heard in the whole Hiigadc. We know
that we arc being driven foot by foot, and
that wheu we break once more, the line
will go to pieces, and the enemy will pour
through the gup.
Here comes help !
Down ihe crowed highway gallops a
battery, withdrawn from some other posi
tion to save ours. The lii'ldTeuce is scat
tered while you could count thirty, and
the guns rush for the hill behind us. Six
horses tu a piece three riders to each
gun. Over dry ditches, (where a fariiu r
would not drive his wagon.) through
clumps of bushes, over logs u foot thick,
every horse on the gallop, every rider lash
ing his team and yelling the sight behind
making us forget the foe in front. The
gunsjuuip two feet high us the hcav
wheels strike rock or log, but not a hoise
slackens his pace, not a cannoneer os- s
bis seat. Six gun-, six cui-soiis, sixly
horses, eighty no'ti, race lor the brow of
the hill its if he win. reached il fust Would

A moment ago ihe battery was a con
fused mob. We look again, and the six
gnus ure in posilion, the detached horses
are hurrying away, the amiiiutiiliou chests
open, and along our line runs the com
mand: "(live tlieni one more volley and
fallhaektosupportt.be guns." Wc have
scarcely nheyed when li-ioin! boom! ..p-is
the battery, and jets of lire jump down
and scorch ihe green trees undii- which
we fought and de spaired.
The shattered old IJtigade has a chance
to breathe for the first time in three hours,
as we form a line and lie down. What
giitn, cool fellows thorn cannoneers are!
l-'vi ry man is a perfect machine. Bullets
splash dust in their faces, but they do no!
wince, lliillets sing over and around, but
tlmy do not dodge. There goes one to
ihe caith, shot ilirouoh the head as he
sponged his gun. That machinery loses
just one heat, misses just one cog in the
wheel, and then Works away again as be

Now the shells me changed for grape

The shriek of u shell is ihe wickedest

crawl like the demoniacal singing, purring,

hiss of eani'ler. Meu's lens aud head

A round shot or shell takes two men out
