march, half starved for the want of rations, and 
utterly unable to obtain them, as a sujiply train 
intended for them had been successfully “gob¬ 
bled up” by the rebels. He would not have 
been fastidious then, could food have been 
placed before him. Ah no, for starving men 
are never grumblers. At length the column 
halted for an hour, and while others were idly 
bemoaning their hunger, Nash drew from his 
haversack that which seemed a treasure. It was 
merely a small piece of army bread, water Boaked 
and muddy, which he had picked up in the road 
from beneath the feet of his companions. Not 
an inviting morsel, surely, yet it was precious 
to that hungry man. He ate it almost raven¬ 
ously, and then threw hlrnRelf upon the grass, 
endeavoring vainly to Bleep. 
In a few minutes the joyous cry went along 
the column that the mail had not been captured 
by the enemy, but had arrived in safety. And 
Boot afterward a letter wan placed in the hands 
of Richard Nash from home. One Bentence 
in that letter be read and re-read, as though 
nothing else had any interest for him. And 
this was what he read : 
“ 1 am tired to-night, yet happy. Ellen Is to be 
married in iwo days, and 1 Lave assisted in the pre¬ 
paratory baking to-day. Sneh rowe of cake, and 
stacks of pies I It would do you good to see them. 
And mother praises them, which takes off half the 
fatigue I should otherwise feel. How we all wish 
you could be here to help us devour them.” 
“ If she knew what I ate last, 6be wouldn’t 
write about wedding cake,” he laughed, at 
length, in thought to himself. “ But she 
needn’t hint so strongly about her mother’s 
praise. I’d praise her, too, if I were there. I 
declare, I fed myself worse than a dog when I 
think how well she nsed to do, and I continnally 
finding fault. But never mind. I’ll make it all 
up if ever I live to get home.” 
Richard lived to get home, and the lesson he 
bad learned was uot forgotten, Nancy found 
that her efforts were appreciated, the cloud was 
gone, and to-day she is among the happiest of 
wives.

“ I never liked it,” was answered, a little

ILLUSTRATED REBUS. 
There were tears which wish¬ 
ed to force themselves to her eyes, but she kept 
them back now, that they might llow unrestrain¬ 
ed when none should observe them. 
Richard Nash eyed the meat with a suspi¬ 
cious glance, but ventured to eat a very hearty 
meal, in which he partook of every dish upon 
the table, though he would fain have shown 
that none of them were half as good as should 
have been, 
“I’m going to send up some mackerel,” he 
said, stopping w ith his hand upon the lutch, and 
speaking in a very peculiar manner. “ Nothing 
can be better for dinner, and they have some 
very fine ones at the grocery. Now see how 
■well you can fix one up l’or dinner.” 
Nancy Nash watched her husband as he dis¬ 
appeared from sight, and than dropped into a 
chair, to let the withholdcn tears have freedom. 
Not that her husband was a cruel man, or her’s 
a peculiarly unhappy lot. But Richard had 
one failing which clothed his house in gloom, 
and seriously befogged the happiness they might 
otherwise have enjoyed. Not an epicure of the 
first water could have been more fastidious in 
Tegard to his food. During her girlhood and 
more advanced years, Nancy had been unusu¬ 
ally careful to perfect herself in culinary as all 
other household matters, and when she married 
Richard, and was placed in a cosy little house 
as sole mistress, she fancied all her loud dreams 
of wedded bliss were to be realized. A few 
months served to dispel the sweet fancy that all 
was to he golden in hue. When the novelty of 
this new life had somewhat worn off, the selfish 
traits of Richard’s character began to crop out, 
as iB almost invariably the case. 
At first Nancy was shocked ami grieved be¬ 
yond measure to find that her adored was but a 
mortal, after all; and more especially when she 
realized that it was utterly impossible for her to 
quite please a nature so utterly selfish in some 
respects as her husband possessed. But the 
young wife gathered fortitude at length, and 
now, when scarcely a meal passed that she was 
not wounded afresh, she was learning to “suffer 
and be strong.” Upon the present occasion she 
allowed the tears to flow but a few minutes, then 
choked them down, mid tried to forget that any 
unpleasant scene had transpired at the breakfast 
table. Ilow well she succeeded we could not 
say, for her’s, though strong when the stern ne¬ 
cessity came, was an intensely sensitive nature. 
Dinner came, and the same thing was repeated. 
Nancy had endeavored to prepare the food so 
that even the taste of her husband should find 
nothing objectionable. Vain effort. Rioiaud
