account at the bank, and with interest to the end of 
the year.” 
Forthwith I commenced casting interest and cal¬ 
culating in my brain. Kitty was silent, and rocked 
the cradle musingly with her loot. 
“ I’ve been thinking. Harry,” said she, after a 
moment's pause, " that since you've got this extra 
money, we might afford to buy a new rug. This is 
getting dreadful shabby, my dear, you must see” 
I looked dolefully at the rug; it was worn and 
shabby enough, that was a fact. 
“ i can get a beautiful new velvet pattern for seven 
dollars,” resumed my wife. 
“ Velvet—seven dollars!” groaned I. 
“ Well, then, a common tufted rug like this would 
only cost three,” said my cautious better half, who, 
seeing she couldn’t carry her first ambitious point, 
wisely withdrew her guns. 
“ That's more sensible,” said I. “ Well, we’ll see 
about it” 
“And (here’s another thing I want,” continued my 
wife, putting her hand coaxingly on my shoulder: 
“ and it's not at all extravagant, either.” 
“ What is it'/” I asked, softening rapidly. 
“ I saw such a lovely silk dress-pattern on Canal 
street this morning, and I can get it for six dollars— 
only six dollars, Harry! It's the cheapest I ever 
saw.” 
“ But haven’t you got a very pretty green silk 
dress?” 
ki That old thiug? Why, Harry, I’ve worn it ever 
since we've been married.” 
“ Is it soiled or ragged?” 
“ No, of course; hut who wants to wear the same 
green dress forever. Everybody knows it is the 
only silk I have.” 
“ Well, what then?” 
“ That's just a man’s question,” pouted Kitty. 
“ And I suppose you have not observed how old- 
fashioned my bonnet is getting?” 
“ Why, I thought it looked very neat and tasteful 
since you put on that, black velvet winter trimming.” 
“Of course —you men have no taste in such 
matters.” 
We were silent for a moment. I’m afraid we both 
fell a little cross and out of humor with one another. 
In fact, on my journey home I had entertained seri¬ 
ous thoughts of exchanging my old silver watch for 
a more modern timepiece of gold, and had mentally 
appropriated the ten dollars to further that purpose. 
Savings hank reflections had come later. 
As we sat before the fire, each wrapped in thought, 
our neighbor, Mr. Wilmot, knocked at the door. He 
was employed in the same store as myself, and bis 
wife was an old family friend. 
“ I want you to congratulate me,” be said, taking 
a seat. *• I have purchased that little cottage out on 
the Tlloomingdale road to-day. ’ 
“ What! that beautiful little wooden cottage, with 
the piazza and lawn, and fruit garden behind?” ex¬ 
claimed Kitty, almost enviously. 
“ Is it possible?" I cried. A little cottage home of 
my own, just like that 1 had often admired on the 
Bloomingdale road, had always been the crowning 
ambition of my life—ft distant and almost hopeless 
point, but no less earnestly desired. 
“ Why, Wilmot,” said I, “how did this happen? 
You've, only been in business eight or ten years 
A great shadow fell upon the chaplain; for a 
oment he was stunned and choked, and his voice 
•ew husky as he made reply: 
“It is a sad errand, but none the less my duty. 
' 1 can’t realize it; indeed I cannot

earthly eyes on the mother he po longed for. An¬ 
other moment, and the young man appeared to be 
struck with some peculiarity in the face and move¬ 
ments ot the chaplain. The large eyes sought his 
with an in tenseness that was painful, and he strove 
to interpret that which made the difference, between 
this and his former demeanor. 
“ Your cares weary you, chaplain,” hesaid quietly: 
“you must be. very faithful, for it is past niylniglit 
“I was on the point of going to bed, when I was 
called to prepare a dying man for his last hour,” 
was the fearful response. 
“Indeed! what poor fellow goes next?’' rejoined 
the young man, with a look of mournful inquiry. 
There was no answer; lor the wealth of worlds 
the chaplain could not have spoken now. That tone 
so unconscious of danger; that eye so full of sym¬ 
pathy! Still a strange silence! What did it mean? 
The sick man’s inquiring glance changed to one of 
intense terror. lie raised both arms—let them tall 
heavily upon the coverlet at his side, and in a voice 
totally altered by emotion, he gasped: 
“ Great heaven! you mean me.” 
“My dear friend!” said the chaplain, unmanned. 
“I am to die, then— and—how—long?” His eye

THE DYING SOLDIER 
The chaplain came at last to a cot set somewhat 
by itself outside the wards. Here, reclining at 
length, was a young man, w hose face bore but slight 
traces of suffering. It was flushed with a hue like 
that of health; the eyes were utidimrned, and only 
the position.«f his hands, which were thrown over 
his head and locked in almost spasmodic tightness, 
told that he was in pain. He wus unusually noble 
in countenance. His brow was broad and fair, and 
the thick locks that, clustered back from bis temples 
curled like the ringlets of a boy. He knew not 
why, but the chaplain experienced an unusual and 
sudden sympathy lor this young man, struck down 
in his beauty; still he fell that there was no imme¬ 
diate danger in bis ease. 
“ How is be wounded?” he asked of the surgeon, 
as the two approached the bed softly. 
“ In the right side, below the ribs.” was the reply. 
“ Is he in danger?" 
“Oh! no; thatis, not at present. The case may 
take a bad turn, to be sure; but it looks well now. 
Charles,” he added, addressing the sick man famil¬ 
iarly, “the chaplain is going the .rounds; would you 
like to see him?” 
“Oh! certainly!” exclaimed the young man, smil¬ 
ing. “ I am very glad to see him,” and he held out 
his hand. His voice was strong and ringing, as 
with the highest health; his clasp was vigorous. 
“1 am sorry to find you wounded, my friend,” 
said the chaplain. 
“ Ob! only the casualty of war; we must some of 
us expect It, you know.” 
“ Do you suffer much?” 
“At times, sir, very severely; I feel so well, only 
only the distress here,” and he pressed his hand to

“Christ is better than a mother,” murmured the 
chaplain. 
“Yes.” 
The word came in a whisper. His -eyes were 
closed; the lips still wore that, trembling grief, as if 
the chastisement were too sore, too hard to be borne; 
but as the minutes passed, and the soul lifted itselt 
up stronger aud more steadily upon tire wings ot 
prayer, the countenance grow calmer, the lip stead¬ 
ier. and when the eyes were opened again, there 
was a light in their depths that could come only 
from heaven. 
“ I thank yon for your courage,” he said, more 
feebly, taking tbe band of the chaplain. “The bit¬ 
terness is over now, and I feel willing to die. Tell 
my mother”—he paused, gave one sigh, dry and 
full of the last anguish of earth—“tell her how I 
longed to see her; but, if God will permit nee, I will

Ah! mothers, you are first thought of when the 
hardy soldier feels the pang of pain. It is your 
name he calls, your form he sees through the mists 
of delirium, your voice lie hears in every gentle 
word that is spoken. He knows whose touch will 
be tenderest, through the sympathy of suffering; lie 
knows who has borne the most for him; and on the 
tented field, the holy name of mother receives a 
fresh baptism of love and beauty. 
“I can imagine how you feel,” said tbe chaplain; 
“and I have no doubt you will see her soon. Mean¬ 
while yon know there is a Friend who will be to you 
more than mother or father, sister or brother.” 
“I realize that, sir,” said the young man; I am a 
professsor of religion, and have been for years. 
When I was shot, aye, and before. I commended my 
soul to Him for life or death; but I confess I have 
much to live for, I am not brought yet where I am 
willing to die.” 
“It may be for the reason that you are not yet 
called to die,” said the chaplain; “but in life, you 
know, it is the one important thing to he prepared 
for death.” 
After a short prayer, the minister and the sick 
man parted. “He seems very strong and sanguine," 
he said, as he met the surgeon again, “ aud likely to 
recover.” 
“No doubt of it, sir. no doubt,” was tbe hasty 
reply of the surgeon, as he passed on.”

Tbo hour of midnight had struck from the great

still sat up in his own room, writing letters for three 
or four of the wounded soldiers, and a strange still¬ 
ness fell around him as he closed the last sheet, and 
sat back with folded hands, to think. He could uot 
tell why, but do what and go where he would, the 
face of ike young volunteer with whom he had 
spoken last, haunted him. He arose to move to the 
window, where the breeze was cooler, when a knock 
was heard at the door, and a rapid voice called, 
“Chaplain!” He hurried to lift the latch. Thesur-I 
geon stood there, looking like a shadow by the dim

Tbe other evening I came home with an extra 
ten-dollar bill in my pocket-money that I had 
earned by out-of-doors work. The fact is, I'm a 
clerk in a down-town store, at a salary of $600 per 
annum, and a pretty wife and baby to support out 
of it. 
I suppose this income will sound amazingly small 
to your two and three thousand dollar office-holders; 
but nevertheless we contrive to live very comfortably 
on it. We live on one floor of an unpretending 
little house, for which we pay one hundred and 
fitly dollars per annum, and Ivitt.y, my wife, you'll 
understand, does all her own work; so that we 
lay up a neat little sum every year. I've got a bal¬

hank, the hoard of several years, and it, is astonish¬

with my industry and thrift.
