During our ciyil war there was a woman in Maine who received a let ter which ran thus : "Wilie is sick; he is dying." The mother read the letter, and looking up to her hus band, said: "Father, I must go to to Willie." "No, wife, you cannot go," he replied. "You know there is a line of bayonetsjbetween you and Willie." She did what the Chris tian mother always does when her boy is in peril. She spread that letter before the Lord and prayed all night. Next morning she said, "Father, I must go to Willie. " . I must" She went to Washington, and the man in the Executive Man mon, wno naa a neart as tender as a woman's Abraham Lincoln, brush ed away a tear as he wrote, and handing her a paper said, ' "Madam, that will take you to ' the enemy's line, but what will become of you After you get there I cannot tell." She took the paper came down to tne picket; she handed him the pass he looked at it and then at her and aid, "We don't take that thing here." "I know it," she said,, "bat Willie, my boy is dying in Richmond, J and I anV going fo him Now shoot! He did not shoot but stood awed and hushed in the presence of a love that is more like God's t an any other that surges in the human soul in its deathless unselfishness. . All that mother thought; of was herk boy. ' Smuggled through the lines, she went down to the hospital, The surgeon said to.; her,. "Madam, yon must be very careful your 'boy will eurvine' no excitement." She crept past cot uf ter cat, and Knelt at the foot of the one. where her " boy lay, and putting up her hands prayed in smothered tones : "0 God,'spare my bo." The sick man raised his white ihands from under . the sheet; the sound of his mother's voice haa gone clear down irto the valley and shadow of death where the soul of the young man was going out in its ebbing tide. Eaising his hands he said, "Mother, I knew you would come." That boy is a man today, saved by a mother's love. Tlhe . Pro. gressiveAge. " " ' .
