Rest, soldier, rest! thy country comes, With tender love and true, Freely to deck thine honored head Her banner o'er its turf to spread,. And on thy lonely grave to shed Foild memory's pearly dew. Rest, Patriot, rest 1 yet cast behind Thy mantel from the sky; The pure, unselfish, heavenward aim, Unbought by gold, unthought by fame, Content for freedom's glorious claim To toil, and dare, and die. Yes, leave it for our rising race, Soldier, and Patriot brave ; That in the time of strife or wrong They to their country's ark may throng, And in Jehovah's armor strong, Her life, her Union save ! ' m tm From Peterson's Magazine THE FACTORY GIRL. BY CLARA ACGCSTA. CHATTER lir. The levee was "splendid." So the girls said, the next day. Mr. Tenipleton was present, and though he had not dan ecd himself, he had put no hindrance on the gaiety of the others. Thev all united in announcing him a handsome, kind- hearted gentleman ; and wondering if he was to marry the beautiful Miss Gordon, to whom report had assigned him. lleturuing to her hoarding-house, at dinner time, Annette was obliged to step into the gutter to allow a stylish carriage, with a span of black horses, to pass by. Casually glancing up, she saw that the occupants were Mr. Tenipleton and a young lady of surpassing loveliness. The 1'air face was turned towards him, wearing a gay biiiile. The ermine tippet and vel vet mantle repelled the cold which made Annette shiver in her thin cotton shawl. That night 'her prayer was long and fervent, and its burden was: ''Oh, God ! keep me from vain envyings V The week was a weary one. It was midwinter, and the severe cold, acting ou Annette's delicate organism, produced in fluenza and fever. Iler miserable shoes admitted the snow at every step, and the well worn garments were but a slight pro tection against the wintry blasts. For five days she was confined to her room; but feeling better on the sixth, she resu med her place at the mill. It was Satur day, and the day on which the quarterly payments fell due. At night Annette went down to the connting-room with the others ; but the warmth of the parlor so overcome her, that she did not rise from the chair, into which she had sunk at her entrance, until all her companions were gone. The paymaster had left too ; only Mr. Templeton remained. She went up to his desk with her unspoken request iu her eyes, lie made no remark, but counted out the money, entered the pay ment on the book, aud opened the duor for her as she departed. Arrived at the boarding-place, from force or habit, Annette counted the roll of bills, but started in surprise when she' had finished. There was the full amount of her three months' wages. For five days she had been absent, no deduction had been made. Annette was not easily tempted, and the money, though of great importance to her, had no power to make her forswear her honesty. Her very first act on Mon day morning was to go down to the counting-room and explain the mistake. It was very early when she arrived, and, as before, no one was there but lemplcton, who, engaged in reading the morning pa per, did not notice her entrance until she spoke. "There has been a mistake made in my quarterly a.nount," she said. '"Sickness compelled me to bo absent from my work five days last week, and there has been no deduction made in my wages. . There is the balance." And she laid it down be fore him. "I was aware of this," was the answer. "Mr. Granger keeps a record of all absen tees. There was no mistake. We are all liable to sickness. Good morning." He had forced the note into her hand and bowed her from the room before she had time to offer a single word of objection. And that afternoon's mail carried all the ready money which" Annette Burns possessed, to Mr. Steele, being her second payment on tho mortgage of Klmstead. The next morning a telegram was han ded to her on her wav to breakfast. Freddie Huriis 'u i-iek. The doctor h;:s EBENSBURG, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE no hopes of him. Come home immediately. Yocb Pabests !" This was all. And she she oh, hea ven ! had no means to defray the expen ses of her journey, and no prospect of anything until next quarter's day. And Freddie was ill perhaps dying! Dear little golden-haired, blue-eyed Freddie ! lie called for her, no doubt wept for sister Nettie to hold hi3 fevered head, and moisten his burning lips ! It was a long, lonesome forty miles to Farmingdale, but there was.no other way. She must perform the journey on foot ! But she must hasten 'not a moment was to be lost ! 3Iay be even now her dar- linsr was Ivinir cold and pulseless in his last sleep ! She clasped her hands in a ony, and hurried down the path to the factory. At the gate she met Mr. lem pleton. She stopped instantly, and ad- dressed him. "I want leave of absence !" she said, abruptly. ''My only brother is dying, and I must go ai once. I have juat learned this, and have had no time to trive the proper notice." Mr. Templeton was startled, not less by her tone, than by the wild pallor of her face. " Where does your brother live ?" he asked. "In Farmingdale." "Very well ; I will speak to Mr. May field about it." "Sir, don't delay a moment ! Every second lessons my chances of seeing him alive ?" "True. But the train for Farming- dale does not leave until half past two, and it is only seven now. There is ample time, lou iro in the cars cf course : A burning flush swept over Annette's face. She felt her cowardice. How could she tell this rich aristocratic sentleman. who counted his dollars by hundred thousands, that she had not the trifling sum necessary to pay her passage hontfe A moment only aid false shame prevail her own true courage triumphed. She lifted up her head, proudly; and said, - - "jso sir, 1 do not go in the cars. I am obliged to go on foot. Now you under stand why I am in such haste." "On foot r May I ask excuse me isn't it forty miles to Farmingdale V "Yes." "You cannot go on foot," he said deci dedly. "Take this pass it will carry you thro' to Farmingdale, and beyond, if you wish, and afterward bring you ba-;k to Milltown. I am a director of the road. God grant you 'may be in time !" Ite'presscd her hand, turned, and walked rapidly away. Oh I how fervently Annette blessed him. His name went up to heaven in her prayers, asking for all peace and happi ness to rest upon him ! That little deed of kindness had touched her heart she called Mr. Templeton haughty and purjse proud no longer ! CHAPTER IV. She was in season. Freddie yet lin gered. With a glad cry he held out hh little wasted hands and sprang into his sister's arms. There was a little season of prayer and sad bewailings, a brief period of wearying heaven with mad entreaties, and then came release The angel of death would not be propitiated, and on the third day after her arrival, Annette held her broth er to her bosom for the last time, aud saw him breathe his last, with his glazing eyes fixed ou her face in worldless love. One short week Annette tarried at Elni stead, and then went back to her toil. Iler face was paler, her soft, dark eyes a little more sad, but the sweet patience of the countenance remained unchanged. She gave back the "pass" to Mr. Tem pleton ; but when sue essayed to thank him, a flood of tears was all she could offer. And he had glanced at her black dress and understood all without asking a question. From that day the rich man was straugely considerate toward the humble girl. He sent her books which could not be procured at the library, and occasionally a rare hot house flower found its way to her attire room in the great boarding house. The winter passed away.

It would be so sweet to spend that day of all others, be neath the roof ! The Sabbath, too doubly blessed.! But it is all right God will be with me here as well as there I" Only three days intervened, between then and Sunday, and the work was more than usually pressing. The next day, Annette's web was extremely troublesome, and her ta.k was not finished until some time after sundown. The other girls had left the mill, and, with a little nervous fear at the lateness of the hour, she has tened out. The gate was locked, and she was obliged to retrace her steps and cross the foot-bridge above the fall a course which would make her walk a half mile longer. She hurried over the bridge and struck into the keen buildings made the open air. The tall narrow street dark and gloomy, and in spite of herself, An- nctte was frightened and desolate, and iear almost lent uer wings. There was a quick, firm step behind her, but she did not look around not even when it halted at her side. The voice which addressed her drove all fear from her heart. It was that of Mr. Tem pleton. "You are late to-night, Miss Burns ; permit me to attend you." He' wrapped the shawl which he was carrying carefully around her, and drew her hand within his arm. This protec ting care was new to her, but it was very sweet j why, sLe could scarcely have told, yet she knew that all fear and coldness had gone away from her. They went on a little way in utter si lence ; then he said : "Annette, may I talk to you freely?" At being called by her christian name, her heart beat fast. "Yes," she said, faintly. "Thank you !" He was holding her hand now. "It is abrupt, I know, An nette. But I cannot see you wasting your n 1 m 3'outh and bloom away. You must quit this factory life at once; it is killing you. From this night it is ended ! Do you hear me, Annette ?" Certainly she heard him-j but she was utterly at a loss to comprehend his mean ing, though she bowed her head in re sponse YV11 than tho existence that be given to me you i take from toil must Annette, I love you. I have watched you wbeo you little suspected me. Speak to me, Annette. Is this love to be sent away uncared for ? Is it ?" Annette saw, as with a flash, into her own heart, the sealed chambers of which she lad not recently dared to fathom. Thank God for it ! Yes, she could speak now. But w heu she essayed it, her speech was only tears. Mr. Templeton stooped to kiss them off. " yiy darling ! Your face has haunted me since the first lock I had of it. The shadow always has been with me now I am to have the substance. Blessed real ity 1" They turned an angle of the street and into a sheltered covert. A horse attached to a sleigh was tied to a post unhitched the horse, lifted and took his seat beside her. Templeton Annette in, To her sur- prised inquiry he said. "iorgivc me, dearest : but I was in the ante-room last uight, and overheard you wishing to be at home on your birth-day. I am going to take you there now. We will celebrate the day together, if your parents will receive me." "Oh ! Mr. Templeton !" That Sabbath that quiet, sunshiny Sabbath what a joyous day it was to the residents of Elmstead ! A day of praise and thanksgiving, and tearful offering of thanks to the God of mercy and love. And before Beynor Templeton left Far mingdale, Elmstead was reclaimed from the shadow of debt, and the mind of An nette was at rest. In May, the month of blossoms," the bridal took place, and the beautiful lady whom Annette had once envied as the promised bride of Mr. Tenipleton, was the bride's maid. Isabel Gordon was a tried and trusted friend to Mr. Templeton nothing more and in after years she be came as a sister to his fair young wife.
