restraint. She met Mrs. Forster’s complaints 
with her unvarying smile, and declared she was 
perfectly willing she should puniHh the boys if 
she chose, but for her part she did not like to 
undertake what she knew she never could 
accomplish. 
“ Well," said the old lady, upon one occasion, 
“ I don’t see how you can be so cool about it. 
If I may make free to speak my mind, 
they’re the provokingot young ones I ever see 
in my bom days. There's tiusrus heard me 
tellin' Hetty to warm up that soup for dinner, 
we’d save, the chickens till to-morrow, and what 
does the little scamp do but sneak into the cellar 
and put that miserable little white kitten into 
the pot. 1 heard it a yellin, but I didn’t mind, 
for they are always a pesterin’ of it, till Hetty 
happened to go down for some soap, and there it 
was half drowned, and a nice pot of soup 
spoiled. 
“ Perhaps the kitten fell in,” suggested Miss 
WOODS. 
No it didn’t,” said Mrs. orster indig¬ 
nantly ; “ ’taint my way to leave things standing 
round open; that pot was covered with a plate, 
and a brick on top. I don’t mind losing the 
60 up so much: soups is cheap; but I’ve got to 
stop my washing, and go and roast them chick¬ 
ens, and fix the ‘ garden sarsc-' to go with ’em.” 
“ That’s.lust what the little mischief wanted 
her to do,” said Mrs. Pendleton, laughing, 
as the old lady disappeared; “he does dislike 
soups of all kinds.” 
“ Then you really suppose he did it,” asked 
Miss Woods in astonishment. 
“Oh, I dare say,” was the mother's careless 
answer, as she matched the silks on her embroi¬ 
dery. A moment after she looked up at us and 
added, “Now l know you ladies are horrified at 
me for not being angry at Augustus, and whip¬ 
ping him soundly. The fact is, I believe I am 
too lazy to get angry: it requires more energy 
than I can get up this warm weather.” 
Miss Wood’s knitting needles clicked in the 
silence a few moments, and then she began very 
quietly, “ I know people think old maids cannot 
know anything about children, hut I have lived 
longer than either of you, and if l have not any 
children of my own, I’ve seen a good deal of 
other people’s, more than 1 wanted to of some 
of them—not you, you poor lamb”—abe threw 
in, with a loving glance at Will. “I don’t 
think getting angry is what is wanted; but it 
seems to me that a mother’s duty requires her 
to govern her children, whether ehe likes the 
exertion or not. It is a wrong to the children 
to allow them to grow up ungoverned, as well 
as a wrong to every one with whom they come 
in contact.” 
“ They always mind their father,” said Mrs. 
Pendleton, “ he is very strict with them, and 
on that account I have indulged them more. 
The only way I ever could make Allie mind 
me, was to threaten to tell his father.” 
“And that very threat,” said Miss. Woods, 
was a confession of weakness on your part, and 
of inability to carry your point without assist¬ 
ance, and children are always shrewd enough to 
take advantage of such things.”—[Concluded 
on page 17, present number.] 
to, but I may as well tell you now, that I have 
worn Uncle Sam’s blue cloth, and tramped over 
the worst half of Kentucky and Tennessee in 
his service.” 
He sat there for an hour, patiently answering 
onr questions, and relating little incidents to 
please Wilt,, but it was plain he would never 
voluntarily have introduced the subject. At 
last Wilt., with a puzzled look, blundered out 
just the question we dared not ask. 
“But, Mr. Vinton, why did you,—when are 
you going back V* 
“ I've been expecting that question, my lad, 
ever since you began,” said Vinton, with a 
forced laugh, rising, as he spoke, to leave the 
room. “I wish I could tell you when I am 
going back, but the fact is, Uncle Sam has given 
me permanent leave of absence, and I begin to 
think I shall have to accept it.” 
“What does he mean?” said Wilt., after 
Vinton was out of hearing; “I am sure he 
never was disgraced.” 
While we were talking, the door opened, and 
Vinton came back, took his old seat by the 
sofa, and buried his face upon the pillow by 
Will. His voice was choked and husky, as he 
faltered out, 
“ Oh, little friend, I have got to learn your 
lesson of submission—I am going to be as help¬ 
less as you.” 
Will passed his Hlender arm around his 
friend’s Heck, and held him closely without say¬ 
ing a word, hut his eyes were full of wonder 
and sorrow. 
“Perhaps I am wrong to trouble you,” said 
Vinton, raising his head; “I did not mean to 
tell you, but I believe your heart is braver than 
mine, and I need strength and comfort,” 
Then ho told ns his story. How he had 
neither father, mother, or any near relation 
living, and loving his country with all his heart, 
had enlisted at the very first call for troops, and 
passed nearly two years in active service. Then 
he had a fall from a horse which injured Ids hip, 
and he lay for two months in the hospital, fret¬ 
ting and chafing at the confinement, and eager 
to go back to duty. Then the surgeons decided 
that he would never be fit for marching again; 
that the limb would gradually stiffen, and there 
was danger that the whole right side of Ids body 
would become affected. So he was discharged, 
sorely against his will, and came back to his old 
home at the North. After a few weeks of rest, 
he found his limb so nearly well that he could 
walk with but little inconvenience, and then he 
formed a plan which he revealed to no one. Ho 
determined to go away among strangers so 
that no one need interfere or oppose him, and 
commence a daily course of vigorous out-door 
exercise, taking daily -walks and extending them 
as he found he could bear it, and he trusted in 
the course of the summer to he able to go back 
to the army a sound man again. He came to 
our little village and lived as a stranger among 
us, steadily pursuing his plan, and for a while 
feeling sure of success. But bv-and-by he began 
to fancy his Uni was growing less supple. 
“I would not believe it,” he said; “and for 
days I compelled myself to walk without limp¬ 
ing when every step was an effort. I was 
determined my limb should not stiffen, and when 
I found it was always worse in the morning I 
would sit up half the night and rub it. I might 
have spared myself all the pain and trouble, for 
it has been worse than useless. See, I can 
hardly control those two fingers. My whole 
side is becoming paralyzed. 1 have done my 
work in the world, and it is so little, and so in¬ 
complete, how can 1 leave it so? No one knows 
how I love my country, and I wanted to feel 
thut I had stood bravely by her cause through 
the whole struggle and helped to win her 
triumph.” 
A tear stole closely down his cheek and 
dropped upon his right arm, lying listlessly 
across his lap. Miss Woods went up to him 
and laid her great long hand upon his head pity¬ 
ingly, saying, as she did to liMJe Will, 
“ Oh, poor lamb, the Lord comfort you I ” 
He went away in a few days to arrange his 
affaire, and provide himself a home before 
he should become altogether helpless. It was 
difficult to feel, as wc looked upon tho handsome, 
stalwart fellow, seemingly in the full strength 
of his young manhood, that he was to spend the 
rest of hie days in hopeless suffering. “There 
goes another victim of the war,” said Timothy, 
as he said good-by to us; “as truly a sacrifice as 
if he were lying dead upon the battle field.” 
“Well, I’m real sorry to lose him, said Mrs. 
Forster; “he seemed to lie a civil young 
man, and always paid up regular.” 
And so number 10 was vacant again. 
If 1 have said little of Mrs. Pendleton it is 
not because wo saw little of her. In fact we 
found her a chatting and sociable neighbor, so 
perfectly good-humored and agreeable that you 
could not help wishing sometimes for a spice of 
acidity to relieve the unvarying sweetness. 
There was no common sitting-room in the house, 
hut as the weather grew oppressing!y warm it 
drove os all from our low-ceiled rooms to the 
broad, shady piazza, where we womcn-folk 
gathered day after day with our sewing or read¬ 
ing. Every pleasant afternoon Miss WOOi>s 
would gather Will Dayton up in her strong 
arms as if he were a baby, and bring him down 
and deposit him carefully among the pillows in 
Timothy’s arm-chair. There the lad woukl sit, 
sometimes smiling to his aunt as she glanced up 
from her work to see if he were comfortable— 
sometimes talking with little Clara, but 
oftener gazing far off upon the woods, and 
meadows, and waving grain - fields, with a 
quiet, dreamy look of happiness. With Urn 
Pendleton’s boys we oowld find little fault bo 
far as real viciousncss was concerned, and they 
really were wonderfully gentlemanly in their 
manners, but they seemed to be brimming over 
with mischief, and their mother had not the 
slightest control of them; indeed, she seldom 
exerted herself to make even an attempt at

Dr. LiGimm.L— Dear Sir: it affords me tho greatest 
satisfaction to be able to inform you that I am still Im¬ 
proving, and have the highest hopes that my ear w ill be 
entirely well by the time you at first mentioned It. would 
Like to effect a cure. 1 can say that I am truly thankful 
to the kiud Providence which directed me to you. Since 
the first few days’ use of your prescription, my car has 
improved, and almost at once 1 was relieved from a very 
depressed state of feeling and an almost intolerable case 
to au elastic and hopeful state of mind, What Dr. John 
Nott replied to me as his experience has been mine so 
far. My catarrhal trouble seems very much better also, 
and. Indeed, altogether, my health never was so good. I 
am weighing some five pounds more than is usual for 
me, (and more than I ever weighed before.) 
I can but hope that U may be tho good fortnne of many, 
with like troubles, to fall In the way of the benefit of 
your skill, and knowing how great the fear of imposition 
ls with those who In time past, may, like myself, have 
Buttered by It, and finding a wish, sincerely at this lime, 
to aid anil commend you In establishing a high and de¬ 
served position among us in your profession, 1 beg, 
therefore, that you will not hesitate to refer to me, as It 
may be of use. I also Inclose herewith, Professor Nott’6 
reply to my letter of Inquiries, which I deem highly 
creditable to you, and of great Importance to others, as 
it has been to me. I will visit you again soon. In the 
meantime, believe tne. Yours, very sincerely,

MRS. FORSTER’S BOARDERS. 
BY EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER, 
(Continued from page 12, last nnmber.] 
Miss Woods spent roost of her time in her 
room, talking and reading to Will Dayton, 
and petting him like a sick baby; but as we 
came to know her, every inmate of the house was 
attracted toward her and her helpless charge. 
She was always busy, and always it was either 
Will or the soldiers who enjoyed the fruit of 
her toil. “If it wasn’t for Will here,” she 
often said, “ I should go as nnree into the hospi¬ 
tals; but I can do a little something while I take 
care of the poor lamb, and I hope the Lord 
will accept it of me; he knows it’s in my heart 
to do more, only He’s shut up my way.” 
As for Will, his sickness seemed to have 
developed all the lovely, childlike traits of his 
nature, so that one naturally adopted his aunt’s 
pet name for him—“poor lamb.” They were 
Episcopalians, and read the services together 
regularly, and I noticed that young Yinton 
frequently came down from his attic to join 
them. Once, when they read the prayer in 
which thanks are rendered for creation and pre¬ 
servation, Will said to Yinton, “There was a 
long time that T never could join in that prayer. 
It was after mother died, and I went to live 
with auntie. It seemed to me that I was only 
a useless clog in the world, for I could do nothing 
myself, and I was a burden and hindrance to 
other people. You who are so strong and active 
can never know what a dreadful struggle it was 
for me to really feel satisfied to lie here helpless, 
when I wanted bo much to do something for my 
country: but I have conquered at last, and I 
can say, ‘we thank thee lor creation.’ ” 
“ I may need to learn your lesson yet,” said 
Yinton, with a slight tremble in his tone. 
“ Oh, I hope not, I hope net,” said little WILL, 
with an anxious glance at his friend’s troubled 
face. 
For several days after that, we all of us no¬ 
ticed that Vinton seemed downcast, and my 
husband remarked to me one day, that he 
thought something was troubling him. 
“ If he were not so unaccountably reserved,” 
said Timothy, “ I woukl try and find out if he 
is in need of my friendly aid; but one doesn’t 
know how to approach him.” 
The next afternoon I was sitting with my 
sewing in Miss WOODS’ pleasant chamber, when 
Vinton came in, tossed a bunch of roses to 
Will, and sat down on an ottoman by hia sofa, 
without saying a word. 
“What beautiful roses!” exclaimed Will, 
holding them to his face with all a child’s de¬ 
light; “you are so thoughtful of my pleasure, 
Mr. Vinton, but I am afraid you take too 
many long walks; you look tired now.” 
“There are no such roses growing nearer 
here than B-, and that is fully five miles,” 
said I. 
“Ah,” said Vinton, carelessly, “that is just 
where I got them; but I did not think it was ho 
far; I have often been there of a morning.” 
“You ought not to,” said Miss Woods, earn¬ 
estly ; “ I have been thinking for some time that 
you did not look well, and this morning, as you 
went down the walk, I fancied you were a little 
lame.” 
“Did you?” said Vinton, starting, and turn¬ 
ing suddenly pale; “ then it was not all imagi¬ 
nation,” he added, sadly, as if to himself. 
“Exercise Is a good thing,” Miss Woods 
went on to say, “but you may overdo it. I 
believe more of our poor soldiers are killed by 
those horrible marches, till they are ready to 
drop with fatigue, than anything else.” 
“That’s true,” said Vinton, in an absent 
way; “ that was what used up Ed. Mason, and 
so many of onr boys; but I could always hold 
out to tire them all down.” 
“Then you have been in the army,” said 
Will, in astonishment, “and you never told us. 
Oh, do tell me all about it,” and he raised him¬ 
self, excitedly, on his elbow. 
Vinton smliod, and said, “So I have let you 
into my secret, have r? Well, I did not mean

placed myself under the core of Dr. LigbUilll- He has 
fully restored me. I hear wull; the dizziness and the dis¬

stopping of the running has given me the highest elas¬

ducing cough and hoarseness, destroying the sense of 
smell, and breaking down my general health to such a 
degree as to compel mo to resign my pastorate and sus¬ 
pend public speaking. 
I made diligent use of the usual remedies, such as 
snuffs of different kinds, nitrate of Hllver, tar water, 
olive tar, and Inhalations, but without any very salutary 
effects- Last Summer I heard of I)r. LlghthlU'8 success¬
