twelve stood at his elbow, his frank face turned 
up to the Major's. “And he, too?” thought the 
officer. 
With a furtive glance at a rebel guard who 
stood with Ms back to them, the lad, pulling 
the Major's skirt, and catching his breath, boy- 
fashion, Baid, “are you from New England?” “I 
was born in Massachusetts.’" was the reply. “So 
was my mother," returned the boy, brightening 
up; “she was a New England girl, and she was 
what you called a ‘school-ma’am,’ up North; she 
married ray father and I’m their boy, but how 
she dots love New England, and the Yankees, 
and the old United States, and so do I!” 
The Major was touched, as well he might be, 
and his heart warmed to the boy as to a young 
brother, and he took out his knife, severed a but¬ 
ton from his coat and handed him for a remem¬ 
brance. “Oh, J’ve got half a dozen just like it 
See heref and he took from his pocket a little 
string of them, gifts of other boys in blue. 
“My mother would like to see you,” he added, 
“and I’ll go and tell her.” 
“What are you doing here?" growled the 
guard, suddenly wheeling round upon him, and 
the hoy slipped away into the crowd and was 
gone. Not more than half an hour elapsed be¬ 
fore a lovely lady, accompanied by the little 
patriot, passed slowly down the sidewalk next 
to the curbstone. She did not pause, she did not 
speak; if she smiled at all it was faintly, but she 
handed to one and another of the prisoners bank 
notes as she went. As they neared the Major, 
the boy gave him a significant look, a 9 much as 
to say, “ that’s my New England mother.” The 
eyes of the elegant lady and the poor, weary 
officer met for an instant, and she passed away 
like a vision, out of sight. Who will not join

Through the vines, across the floor,—

Of joung feet that come no more—

With eye* dim with tear* unshed, 
While the moonlight, shim‘ring O'er her, 
Throws a halo round her head.

“ O, our Father 1 bless my boy

Taking all the light and joy

On a grove-crowned hill, where brown earth

My husband, ray loving, my noble hus¬ 
band, was transformed into a fiend, 
my infant from the floor unconscious, and pale, 
and fled from the house. My Hetty never 
smiled oil me again. She never tried to say 
‘pa-pa’ again. She was an idiot, and through 
three long years I cared for my poor, dear baby 
that never ceased to be an infant, whose beauty 
and intellectual brightness weie gone forever.” 
Mrs. Mason paused; for the remembrance and 
relation of the dreadful realities of (hose years of 
trial overcame her. Mary, too, was weeping. 
When she could, she proceeded with her story. 
.“From that time Edward was a different 
man from what be had been. The flood-gates of 
a long-repressed passion seemed to have been 
re-opened, and on its mad waters he was swept 
toward ruin. I think remorse for the deed be 
had wrought caused him to drink more freely 
than he would have done. , 
“We had another child — a dark-haired boy, 
but his birth -wailing was very feeble, and in a 
few hours I blessed God that, he would never 
become a drunkard, and when we laid baby 
Hetty by his side iti the still graveyard, I 
longed to lie. with them and be at rest But 
when we turned away, and Edward spoke to 
me tenderly for the first time in years, it lifted 
up my heart so that I felt strength to live again. 
I hoped that it would last—that he would 
give up his cups. I had learned to pray at the 
couch of my sick child, and I spent hours on my 
knees in the dead of night for my poor Edward. 
I loved him —in all his degradation and sinful¬ 
ness I had never ceased to love him. 1 think he 
tried earnestly to reform. I have seen him weep 
like a child over tiis weakness and hie shame, but 
the next day, perhaps, he would yield to drink 
again. We were in rags, for our property was 
gone: and although I did the best I could by 
faking in sewing and going out to wash, I could 
hardly make enough to provide our food, and 
my husband only earned a few shillings now and 
then to purchase that which brought us woe con¬ 
tinually. 0, how bitter my heart was toward the 
rumseller who sold him the poison. 
“At length came the last, tragedy. I had been 
very ill, and was just recovering, when he was 
seized with delirium tremens. The nervous ex¬ 
citement which his terrible sickness wrought in 
me, threw mo into a relapse, aud I came up from 
the very borders of the grave only to learn that 
Edward had passed within its portals.” 
Mrs. Mason’s story was complete; but she 
said“ My child, last night, as your father and 
I were returning from our visit, we saw James 
Stanley enter a saloon. We heard his ribald 
jest, and his loud call for that which brought to 
your mother’s young life such misery 119 I have 
told you of. Is mother cruel, darling, that she 
would protect her daughter from the fate of the 
drunkard’s wife?” 
“ I will never marry James Stanley— never,” 
exclaimed Mary, energetically; then affection¬ 
ately embracing her mother, she whispered — 
“Poor mama, how you have suffered! For 
your sake I will hate the poison cup forever, and 
give my life to the noble cause of Temperance.” 
And the mother said God bless you, Mary!”

MISCELLANEOUS ENIGMA. 
Mother, you are cruel!” 
“ I have some things to tell you, daughter, this 
afternoon; when I have told you them you will 
not think me unkind. At three o'clock come 
into the library with your sewing; I shall be 
there and disengaged.” 
Mary met her mother as requested, and Mrs. 
Mason began:—“ I was young once, as you are, 
my child, and like you, imagined my own judg¬ 
ment superior to that, of my parents; so at the 
age of sixteen, and much against their wishes, 
I married Edavard Elton?” 
“Yes, Mary', I have been twice married. 1 
never told you of this, because the subject was 
very painful to me. Since my marriage with 
your father I have been happy—our family circle 
has been quiet and loving, but, my daughter, 
may God preserve you from experiences like 
those I qnce passed through! I had not been 
long acquainted Avith the man I chose to Aved. 
ne was a stranger in the place. Gentlemanly 
aud polished, he impressed me, as he did almost 
every one, very favorably. My parents alone, 
among all my acquaintances, di*couraged my 
acceptance of his suit; my father even forbade it. 
‘There was something about the man,’ he said, 
‘ Avhich he did not like — he feared he was not a 
good mam’ 
“ Too yielding, however, to the entreaties of 
his pet child, my kind father at last consented, 
and mother iu silence and tears submitted to his 
decision. W e were married at homo, and our 
wedding was gay and festive. A feAv days after 
we went to a distant city lo live. There was, for 
a moment, a strange, ominous feeling at my 
heart, when my mother held my hand so tightly 
at our parting, aud said, ‘God bless you, dar¬ 
ling,’ so tenderly; but it passed away as I took 
my husband’s hand and entered the carriage. 
“We had been keeping house but a few 
months, Mary, when Edward was brought 
home to me helpless. The men who brought 
him Avere very kind and would not. tell the 
young wife of her husband’s shame—they said he 
Avas ill—very ill. I would have sent for a phy¬ 
sician. but they told me one had already been 
consulted, and that they felt sure he Avould be 
better in the morning. I never suspected the 
nature of his illness; why should I? In my 
former quiet country life, I had never seen a 
person much intoxicated, and that he. my noble, 
my beautiful husband, could have become so, did 
not cross my mind. I had, indeed, seen him 
take Avitte, but this was customary then, and 
occasioned no alarm. All night I watched by 
my husband's bedside, and feared that he would 
die. but he only slept a deep, heavy sleep, and 
in the morning awoke with headache, lie Avas 
fretful all day, hut I thought him nervous and 
endured his complainings patiently. I did not 
understand the aviso look of my neighbors when 
I told them that my husband bad been so 
strangely ill. 1 do not think he was again 
intoxicated for more than a year. Ha was 
ashamed that he had betrayed his weakness, and 
when he found that 1 did not understand it, but 
supposed that he had had a fit of apoplexy, he 
resolved that 1 should never know the truth. 
He struggled nobly with temptation, and all for 
love of me. 1 was proud and happy in his 
affection, and Avrota homo triumphantly that 
Edavard Avas all I could desire. 
“Our first child was bom. She was a beauti- 
fil babe, with her father's broad forehead and

When a loye for the dear old flag does exist iu

like a spring in the desert, and many a time have 
Federal prisoners been startled into tears at

and then more cotton and more words. The
