It was just at sunset, and somehow those lofig, moecrnful minor tones seemed the fitting ef the day’s service—that autumn day wi had arisen on the mountains in garments of sunshine, and matched through the hours in deauty and a living “Glory to God!” the Crextor' good and t gift. Put it was ay fraug' Tnith Siread and to thousands of homes and hearts Torebod: in the » for the voice of war was abroad in Pow and mothers had strained their sons for the last time to their bosoms, and seen them go forth to the battle, and bus- bands and fathers had laid aside the plow and the seythe, and shouldered their comahate, and taker their lives in their hands for the sake of €reedom, and in the name of the God of battles. So deep shadows lay on the quiet country ‘“hresholds of almost every home in New Eng- land that autumn day, and almost every hearth-stone was an altar where anxious, loy- ing hearts sent up a ery to God for their be- loved. Mrs. Palmer, wife of deacon John Palmer, of Woodstock, stood in the wide, old- fasbioned kitchen of the dingy, yellow farm house, which she brought her husband on her marriage morning. She was an ample, mo- therly, pleasant-faced looking woman, whose whole physiognomy corresponded with the room. Strings of red Peppers and rows of dried apples were festoon along the ceiling, gaging heard fastened to the beam, which divided the hailoverhead, was burdened with herbs and berries; hams, dried beans, seeds and a motley variety of domestic wares. Mre. Palmer's life had slip; over its fiftieth summer, and her black hair was thickly sifted with gray, and there lines about her forehead, and the smile in her faded eyes had something sorrowful about it, for Mrs. Palmer had walked with grief many times; and of the ten fair boys and girls who had been g*thered to her maternal heart, only two re- tmained to her old age. It was a small family under the roof of the old gray homestead on earth, but a larger one in that golden upper homestead whose blessed threshuld is never darkened by the shadow of death. Mrs. Palmer paused as her ear caught the faint, sweet echoes of the s horn, and she deposited half a dozen freshly-boiled dough- nuts in the pan on the table, murmuring to herself, ‘Now, for all the world, if that isn’t the mail coming in! Who knows bat what there may be aome news from Reuben?’ Ah, if you had heard how her voice lingered over the name, you would have known she was his motber. “*I wonder if that boy’ll take any sort 0” ware of himself,” continued the fond mother, dexterously convolving several strips of dough und planting them in the iron kettle which hung over the fire, filled with boilin fat, which indignantly snapped and sputtered at their intrusion. “If there was a fray, he'd be sure to be fore- most, for he al’ays was poking his head into . all sortso’ danger, and never seemed to feel quite so content as when there was a chance o” getting his neck off his shoulders. «I never could exactly see where he got his harum-scarum turn, for his father was al’ays x eober-minded man; bat it was amazin’ how he’d be sartin to come out straight. I never had an easy hour for the first ten years of his life, for fear he'd be brought home with broken limbs; but arter he’d gone through with what would a kilfed a dozen ordinary children, I kind o’ gaveup. I concluded he bore acharmed life. *: Bless his heart! my brave, handsome boy never gave his mother a cross word in the world; and 1 saw the tears a shintn’ under his lashes that mornia’ when he kissed me good- by. afore he started for the army, though he talked so" bold and cheery about his coming back a cap’n or a colonel. *+ Poor fellow! [hope he won's get the rheu- mati campia’ out night, and they say they have to put up with fare such 2s we wouldn't have the face to offer toa smart dog.

I'm reminded sometimes o’ what Parson Hun- ose a great many strugg! up - others to Him; but my very life’acbound up in that boy, and if anything should happen to him, God knows it would. break,his poor old mother’s heart.” And Mrs. r broke down here, and she sat down on the old oaken chest, and wiped her eyes on the corner’of her check apron. “ ir Light warblings of some old psalm tune flut- ant down ot reread and then the door opened, and a pleasant-looking girl burst sud- denly into the room. Palmer was twenty-one, and the sight of her bright young face was like a pic- ture rejoicing the eyes. She was not beauti- fui, but 7s pers were fall of the a of youth and the richness of perfect health. Weil, ebild,”’ said Mrs. Palmer, taking her ttle from the crane, ‘‘ You just bustle round apry, and get gg age Your father and the men will come home clear tuckered out, for deca fellin’ trees all day, hearty meal for’em. You slice up some too, and fry a dozeu eggs, while I fix up “Mother. did you bear the born ?”” Rebecca, as she laid the cloth, which she had spun with her own hands, for the and I was kind of impressed there news from Beuben.”’ I wonder what keeps father sq?’ remarked d we must Li 4s tiot he’s gone round to the tavern there’s any tidi the army,’’ he came into the kitchen. “ Why, father,” began Mrs. Palmer, with a ‘Vv, XVI. “Don’t, wife, don’t;”’ and the old nan laid hia straw hat on the floor beside him. The two women bent their heads reverently over the board, waiting for the deacon to in- yoke his customary blessings upon the meal; but no sound broke the stillness. ; Mrs. Palmer glanced te her husband; bis head, too,was bent over his plate; and astream of gandie light falling on his face, revealed it Sy a stiag ne eppened obn, some! has ‘ou to night,” she said, SH me forward, and th- lessly searching his face. A deep, convulsive sort of groan heaved out of the old man’s lips; and both of the women as they heard it. is it, creme do tell us!’’ fluttered on. Palmer rose and went to her husband, and laid her shaking fingers on his hard hand: “Ob, John, it ain't anything about Reu- ben?’’ Sho cried out the words as one might if a sword had struck suddenly into his heart. becca had sat still at the table, her sweet face struck white with wonder and fear, and her brown eyes fastened on her parents; but now she ing up, and dropped down on her knees at the deacon’s feet: : ‘Oh, father, do say it isn’t Reuben!” And her voice was like her mother’s. The deacon opened his lips, but he could not ik. He took the hands of his wife and his » and covered them with his own trew- bes ones. “Ob, Lord, have mercy upon us!” groaned the stricken man! and then they knew. Mrs. Palmer crept up to her husband, and whispered, in a faint, broken voice: «Jest say my boy isn’t dead, father. I can bear to hear anything else.”’ And the deacon made no answer; but the great tears fell down his furrowed cheeks, and tt was enongh. The tidings of the disastrous battle at Lon, Island, which elosed the summer of 1776, ha filled the land with mourning, for thousands of widows and orphans had been made in that terrible hour, when so many brave Americans lay dead on the battle-field; and the news of the suécessfal skirmish which took place the following month near King's poe in New York, was everywhere hailed wit ness and gratitude, and the little village of Wood- stock bore its part in the general rejoicing on that autuuin night, when the stage first brought in the tidings. The deacon’s family was the only one in Woodstock to whom the news brought any sorrow, for it was in this engagement that Reuben had fallen. He was a great favorite throughout the village, and every heart was filled with sadness when it thought on that brigh dsome face lying stark and rigid on the battle-field. It was lute that evening when Parson Hun- ter entered the stricken house, for friends and neighbors feared to intrude on its awful grief, But the tender-hearted old minister could not rest till he had carried the sweet baim of his love and faith into their broken hearts. Parson Hunter was tall, white-haired old man, a fi presentative of the staunch old Puritan minister, but beneath some stateliness and austerity of manner beat a heart where were all fair and fragrant blossoms, and gold- en fruits ie, and a heart in whose pleasant an Lege J aths the els loved to waik with their skiing feds, and of whom they wrote, “Of such is the kingdom of heav- Pay A The minister found the family in the kitch- en, where we left it utterly crushed down by grief. which expressed itaele neither by moans nor tears. Mrs. Palmer sat in the large arm-chair be- fore the fire, whore her husband had placed her, the crimson light flattering over h which seemed frozen to stone, and her jess eyes fastened in a blank gaze on the wall, and it was well, per! or her of the deacon and his daughter from th to the living, though it seemed to the minister that the last hour had done the work of years ** My friends,”’ said the minister, in his deep, solemn toner, ‘I should not fave come into your house of mourning to-night. feeling that the Lord could speak to your hearts better than I; but I remembered that it was twenty-four years ago this month when you brought Reuben up to altar to dedicate him to his God, and I felt that I had a right and title to come. : And these words unlocked Mrs. Palmer's face. She turned suddenly toward the old man as the visit of that Sabbath morning rose and walked up its long path of years and stood before her. “I see him! I see him!’’ she sobbed out. “with the little brown curls a dancin’ roond his face, and the merry brown eyes blinkia’ under them. My little Reuben! he was the sweetest baby that ever gladdened a mother’s heart, and I was so proud of him, and I thought God would spare him to be tho staff of his mother’s old age, because I had given all the others to him. Oh, Parson Hunter, it can’t be true that I shall never look into his face again, never hear the sound of his voice, tha: he’s lyin’ off there on the battle-field, and his mother was not there to smooth from his forehead, or give him ho looked up for her face for the The old man sat still, ove: mighty burst of a moth agony. his eyes for the tears that filmed them, and felt that for her he had neither help nor con- solation. “The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”’ The low, solemn tones of the preacher, searce- ly above & whisper, fell into the hearts of the hearers and stilled them, as man’s never could, as only God’s can.

I thought it was a} sna ghost!’’ and she fell upon bis neck with a wild sob of joy. It was long before he could get her to talk rationally. She wonld throw her arms around his neck, and, hugging him tightly, murmur such tender words over him, betwixt sobs and laughter, as Reuben Palmer had not heard since he lay, a babe, in his mother’s crib. “ You precious, darlin’ fellow, have you really come back to us alive? Bless your heart, how white and changed you are! Oh, Reuben, darlin’, is it really you, or am I dreamin’?”’ And at last she grew calmer, and was able to tell her brother ‘of that terrible night when the awful tidings came of his death, and how they hedo’t one of them smiled sin and how, though his mother tried to “bear up,’ every one who looked in her face could see that her heart was broken. And both the young man and the maiden sat down on the grass and wept as though they were little children. At last Rebecca rose up. “Oh, what will mother say? You must come right into the house, Reuben; only p’raps I'd better break it to ber slow like, for she's weakly now, and the sudden joy might kill her. Oh, thore’s father!” And they saw the old deacon come slowly into the yard and alight from his horse just before the barn door, and remove the heavy bags of flour from the animal’s back; for the dauns had just returned from the mill. “We'll go and tell him first. You just kee around the corner of the barn, and I’li brea! the news,’’ cried Rebecca. She came panting up to her father just ashe was leading the horse into the barn. “Oh, say, father, I want to tell you—some- thing’s happened !”” The old man turned and looked into the eager face of his danghter, and his son, stand- ing a little way off, could see the change which the last two ks had wrought in his face. ‘Well, what is it, my child?” ‘You'll be so glad, father, and yet—I can’t tell it. Ob, Reuben, do come here!” And he came out. “Father!” The vague superstitions which almost all country People held at that period of ghosts who haunted their old homes, and visits made by the dead to the liv: once suggested even to the well-balanc: ind of the deacon the possibility of his son’s spirit returning to him Hs turned white as his child had done, but he did not speak, and Rebecca cried out, ‘Don’t be afeard, father. It isn’t a ghost, but Reuben’s own self, and he wasn’t dead, as we all thought.” One long, steady glance, and the father knew his child. ‘Oh Reuben, my son Reuben, the Lord be praised!” And the father and son fell bd ga each other’s neck, like Jacob and Joseph of old, and wept. OW it break it to mother easy, children, or it'll sartin kill her for joy,”’ said the old man, vigorously wiping his faee with his pock- et-handkerchief. So it was arranged that Deacon Palmer should goin and break the joyful tidings to his wife according to his best judgment, The trio went to the house; Deacon Palmer entered the kitchen, and his children stood just outside the door, where they could bear every word. Mrs. Palmer was slicing some apples into a wooden bowl. She did not lock up as her husband entered; all these weeks she had gone on with her household duties, care- fully and assiduously as ever, but with a face which grew more patient and pale every day— more like the faces over which the grasses grow and the winds walk. “ Il, Beck, id, “I couldn’t make y You’ve been a heap ma pears.’?
