^Abuciliscments 
daily visits shall keep up my resolves, and remind 
me of their force. 
But little Wintergreen never came again. 
The ten years of trial, as Albyn laughingly 
phrased it, had passed by, and the young firm ©1 
Albyn &■ U'ilmot occupied a spacious suit of rooms 
instead of the narrow down-town office where the 
street passengers brushed against the very panes of 
glass. They had become rich and popular lawyers. 
Albyn had kept his resolution, and all things had 
prospered with him, even beyond bis anticipation. 
The partners were sitting together, just as they 
had sat on the stormy March day ten years before, 
talking quietly in the fire light, while the dark 
shadows of evening crept through the rooms. 
“And when are you to be married, Charley?” 
‘‘In about three weeks, I believe. Mind, Wilmot, 
yon are to officiate as groomsman; and that reminds 
me that Evelyn is quite offended because her lover's 
dearest friend don’t even pay her the compliment of 
a call. Will you go there with me to-night?" 
“ If you desire it,” said Wilmot, with an air of 
resignation; “but yon know I am not much of a 
lady’s man.” 
I particularly wish you to do so,” said Albyn, 
“because I think, perhaps, you may be able to 
explain a curious sensation that always passes across 
my brain in Evelyn's presence—the certainty that 1 
have somewhere seen her years ago.” 
“That is impossible,” returned his friend, “be¬ 
cause you yourself say that you were first intro- 
better, and as he was settin’ up in the rockin’ chair, 
all at once his breath stopped, and that was all they 
ever knew about what he died of.' 
Here Mrs. .Toxics drew a long sigh, and halted to 
recover her breath. Mrs. Smith, fearful of losing 
the floor, began, “ Everybody says it's going to be 
sickly this fall, cause we’ve had such a dry spell. 
Dear me, it puts me in mind of what I went through 
with fifteen year ago, after we'd had jest such a 
summer as we have this year. It come on very 
sickly in the fall. My Augustus was a baby, and 
I was all wore out takin’ c-are of him and the rest 
of 'em through the measles, and all to once I was 
took right down with the typhus fever, and then ihe 
throat ail set in with that, and if ever any body 
come near dyin’ it was me. Wily, my tongue 
swelled up so that it hung out of my mouth five or 
six inches, and turned as black as the chimney back. 
Husband said 1 was a sight to behold. When I 
begun to get better the coat on my tongue begun to 
crack, and at last slipped of] in a whole piece, and 
looked like the too of an old shoe. The Doctor said 
that if I hadn’t had an uncommon constitution I 
couldn’t have stood the. medicine he give me, to 
say nothing about the disease.” 
Here the clock striking in the kitchen arreeted 
Mrs. Smith’s attention, and she shortly after rose 
and said she must go home right away aud see 
about putting the dinner over, “she didn’t know 
how to leave any way, but she always thought it a 
duty to tend to the sick. She wouldn’t let work 
stand in the way ot her running in to help keep their 
spirits up.” So saying. Mrs. Smith departed, and 
I, thinking it time to return, stole out unnoticed, 
leaving Mrs. Jones retailing a fresh catalogue of 
signs and presentiments to the invalid, whose glis¬ 
tening eyes and cheeks, red as the roses by her side, 
showed her to be already half delirious. 
My own feelings returning home were in sad con¬ 
trast to what they had been in going. The sun 
Bhone down disagreeably warm, and I felt nervous 
and uncomfortable. 1 knew not why. I started at 
every rustling leaf and grasshopper whizzing by, 
wondering if the noise were not t he note of a death 
watch, fore-telling sorrow and death. As I crossed 
the bridge over a brook that rattled merrily along, 
and in which a flock of geese were sporting, I invol¬ 
untarily paused to see if they did not form them¬ 
selves into a procession. Reaching home, my report 
was so unfavorable that at sunset Ma kv went up to 
remain through the night. She found Dr. Mead 
already there, he having been hastily summoned to 
Mrs. Garter's aid. 
“I don’t understand it ” said he to Mary, coming 
into the kitchen where Mart was taking off her 
bonnet. “ 1 left Mrs, Carter, this morning, tree 
from lever, and with every prospect of a rapid 
recovery, and now she is worse than she lias been at 
any time before, and I fear she will not rally from 
this. I am glad you have come to stay to-night, for 
you’ve got some sense.” It was not long before 
Mrs. Smith came bustling in with a little fat milk 
pitcher in her hand, which contained some kind of 
dried fruit stewed in a great deal of water. She took 
her station by the side ol the bed, and called on the 
Doctorto knowif a little mite of thatsass would hurt 
Miss Garter. “ Dr. Morton,” said she, “ lets ’em 
eat just what they like; Mrs. Carter is jest as Mrs. 
Giles was, and not more’n three days afore she 
died he let her cat a piece of green apple pie.” 
Dr. Mead seemed too much annoyed to reply 
civilly, and pretended not to have heard her; but if 
Mrs. Smith could have read the expression of his 
countenance, she would have been silenced. 
Dr. Mead’s fears proved to be but too well 
founded, for Mrs. Carter, in spite of bis best efforts, 
grew rapidly worse and died almost, before the roses 
1 had taken her bad withered, I was permitted to 
walk up with Maky the day after she died, to take 
a farewell look at her who had won my childish 
affections, and I plucked the last crimson roses that 
bloomed, to lay on her pillow as a slight token of a 
I child’s regard and esteem. 
COMING HOME 
They arc coming home, coming home, 
Brother and lover, father and son, 
Friend and foe—they are corning home 
To rest, for their work is doDC. 
They come from hospital, picket, and field, 
From iron boat and frowning fort, 
In silent companies, slowly wheeled 
In the rhythm of ft solemn thought. 
This was a father of women and men, 
Gray-haired, but hale, and strong of limb; 
The bayonet flashed and flashed again, 
And the old man's eyes grew dim! 
Here was a form of manly grace; 
The bomb-shell groaning through the air 
Drenched with his blood a pictured face 
And a curl of silken hair. 
This was a bright-eyed, venturesome boy; 
Bark from the perilous picket-ground 
They bore him, waked from his dream of joy 
To a ghastly, fatal wound. 
And thus, for three days lingering, 
He talked in wandering, rapid speech, 
Of mother, and home, and the cooling spring 
His bps coo/d almost reach. 
They are coming home, but not as they went, 
■With the flying flag and stirring band, 
With the tender word and messages sent 
From the distant, waving hand. 
Up the steps and into the door, 
With hidden faces our loved ones come; 
We may cry their names out o'er and o’er, 
But their pallid lips are dumb. 
O, friends, unt.ioiely snatched from hence, 
May we find, beyond heaven’s lowering dome. 
Some blissful future recompense 
For tills sorrowful coming home!

Extracts of a Letter from a Soldier to the 
Sunday Mercury.— My arm has been strengthened 
in this war. my boy, by the inspiration of woman's 
courage, and aided by her almost miraculous fore¬ 
sight. Only yesterday, a fair girl of forty-three 
summers, thoughtfully sent me a box, containing 
two gross of assorted fish-hooks, three cook-books, 
one dozen of Tube’s best spool-cotton, three door¬ 
plates, a package of patent geranium roots, two 
yards of Brussels carpet, Rumford’s illustrated work 
on perpetual intoxication, ten bottles of furniture 
polish, and some wall paper. Accompanying these 
articles, so valuable to a soldier on the march, was 
a note, in which the kind-hearted girl said that the 
things were intended for our sick and wounded 
troops, and were the voluntary tributes of a loyal 
and dreamy-souled woman. I tried a dose of the 
furniture-polish, ray boy, cm a chap that had the 
measles, and he has felt so much like a sofa ever 
since, that a coroner’s jury will siton him to-morrow. 
Epiptle to the Corinthians. —The following 
conversation took place in camp on the receipt of 
the news of the evacuation of Corinth:—“ What do

all to flee from the wrath to come.”

grow a bit. You are very small for a girl eleven

“ Good morning, dear,” said Mrs. Carter; “ take 
a chair and rest yourself.” 
“Mother sent me up,” said I, “to see how you 
were getting along, aud I thought you might like 
some of our roses before they were gone, and so 
brought you these.” 
“ Thank you,” said she. “ Esther fetch a tum¬ 
bler of water, I am going to have my bouquet right 
here on the stand. Lucy you will stay a while, 
wont you?” “Yes,” I answered, “if it will not 
disturb you.” 
“ Oh no, indeed,” she replied, “ I am better to¬ 
day than I have been, and it will do me good to 
look at you, if I can not talk much.” 
“ Esther, bring her a book to divert herself with.” 
Esther handed me a bundle of Col. Crockett’s 
almanacs. She judged them to be about suited to 
my comprehension. “ Here Lucy,” said she, “ I 
guess you aint seen nothing so nice as these in a 
great while. I found ’em up stairs yesterday, and 
sewed 'em together with twine.” 
Mrs. Carter and I exchanged smiles, as I took 
the pack, and going around to the foot of the bed, 
seated myself on a leather trunk that stood there, 
and began to turn over the leaves softly. There 
was a sort ol fascination to me in looking at the 
pictures of the bears, and wild cats, and other like 
embellishments, that kept me unmindful of the 
lapse of time, until a knock at the outer door 
announced another caller. I thought I saw a shade 
of vexation pass over Mrs. Carter’s face as she 
recognized the voice of Mrs. Smith, a near neighbor. 
“How’s Miss Carter to-day?” she asked of 
Esther. 
“ Oh, tol’able,” was the reply; “the doctor thinks 
the fever is broke.” 
“ I thought I’d jest run in, yon see,” broke in Mrs. 
Smith, “cause I’d got my cheese made, and spun a 
run this morning. Dear me. Miss Carter, how 
dreadful pale you look, I don’t believe you’ll ever 
get well as long as you employ Dr. Mead. He’s a 
regular quack, I wonder if he has left you all them 
powders to take. I’d jest heave ’em into the fire, 
and send after Dr. Morton. He’s our family 
doctor.” 
Here another comforter entered in the person of 
Mrs. Jones. She had on the most melancholy of 
faces. “How do you do to-day, Mrs. Carter,” she 
asked, solemnly. 
“ Not very well,” replied the invalid, dejectedly, 
“ my head begins to ache.” 
“There's a dreadful sight of sickness ’round 
now,” went on Mrs. Jones, sinking into a chair. 
“ The bell tolled three times over to the settlement 
last week.”

WINTERGREEN BERRIES, 
It was on the dreariest of all dreary days, wheD 
two young lawyers, Albyn and Wilmot, sat in their 
office; the former lazily reclining, as was his cus¬ 
tom, and the other industriously working, as was 
his custom. Suddenly -a tiny rap was heard upon 
the door, followed by the entrance of a pretty child 
about twelve years old, with a basket of apples upon 
one arm, and another filled with tiny crimson ber¬ 
ries on the other. Her dress was of worn and 
faded calico; and a little scarlet woolen hood sur¬ 
rounded her face, tied on one side in a picturesque 
knot 
“ Buy some wintergreen berries this morning, sir?” 
She came torward as she spoke, throwing the hair 
back with a single impatient movement of her head. 
“I don’t want ’em for anything under the sun,” 
observed Albyn, philosophically, “but I suppose I 
shall have to buy ’em, nevertheless, little one, if you 
will give me credit for three cents.” 
“ I would rather not, sir,’’ said the child, gravely, 
her wide-open black eyes fixed full upon his face. 
“ No 1” said the somewhat disconcerted questioner, 
still searching his pockets for the necessary coin.” 
“And why not, pray? Are you afraid I should 
become insolvent?" 
“I don’t know what you mean, sir,” said the child, 
looking a little bewildered at the sound of the long 
word. “ I should not be afraid you would not pay 
me, though, for I have sold you apples a great many 
times, but I could not carry the money home to my 
mother, and she could not pay the man who brought 
our wood yesterday.” 
“Well?” 
And he has got a sick wife who cannot work, and 
may be, if she did not have medicine, she would die." 
“ So my tbree-cent piece goes to buy medicine for 
the wood merchant’s sick wife, eh?” said Albyn, 
thoughtfully. 
“ A slight illustration,” remarked Wilmot, “ of the 
curious way in which the links of humanity depend 
on one another.” 
“ Here, Wintergreen,” said Albyn, “ I can't find
