Her husband bad been a cooper, working tubs and barrels olTaiid on the busy time of yeftrj and Alvin bad learned the traulo too but the little shop was closed now; and the fields were let out on shares, nnd ever sinco ho wore the coat of army blue her boy had sent back bis pay to the widow, and her cruse and basket were never empty. Her neighbors were very kind. Abiab Williams, who lived on the place, had baiiKed up ber bouse in the fall, and dug and stored her winter vegetables aud iu tho spring, as soou us the ground grew mellow, bo came with his team to plow her garden, lty carpet making and mid bits of sewing, l'liticnee was able to supply nil her slender wants. Not a penny of her boy's earnings bad cverbeen touched. That motley was sacred.

Patience had already spoken to Enoch Holbrtxik about pnttlng it out il interest. Iu the long winter evenings, when she only beard the slow tick of the clock in the corner, or the sough of the wind in the pine trees, her brain was bu-y with plaus for ber boy's future. Deacon 8plcer brought tho paper iu every third day, after he had spelled it over for nu hour or two at home. The news had travelled two or three hundred miles by rail and stage before it came to her hand; but Patience watched for it' wilb a beating heart. The account of a I bloody buttle generally drove ber to bed with a bad headache, caused by thu linr-! der aching of her mother heart, liacbel's sympathies were mainly on the mother Side sue Ui.l noi liuui; so miicii ot Hie stricken wnes or itesoiate young main- ens mourning over their dead.

He fumbled in his capacious pockets, in an aimless sort of way but every heart-beat seemed a century to Patience, You sec titers was a scrimmage t'other day, nnd Alvin ran right into the mess, just like such a btiir brained yonng feller; he tnust have lit with all his might and main. You see the Cap'u ho has went home, ami Alvin has got promoted for gallantry.

Patience would have moaned, but she restrained herself, she took hold of a sapling that grew near, and unconsciously crushed a clump of fui ns under her hand, lluldah was speaking now.

Why, she is the dearest woman in tho world; and site is so fond of ine that she will have to love you for my sake.
