BY AtIGUBTA LAMBED It was dreary work cutting carpet rags night after night, with her boy away.in the army and long lists of killed and wounded filling the newspapers. She had cut up Al yin's little coat: • It was the first "oat 10 ever had, and she remembered how proud tad been of the buttons and pockets, - 1 1 to her heart to shred it into r • • , -• • titten - cee' Patthhig hat , was • the vl B --sr and ii EMEI avvISI 7A1'.110 - 11: very small and buy first' room she had furnished tivi eked out and served together by the battri est toil. - rm. more, than, twenty years she had lived in the old dilapidated stay farm house in a narrow round of duties center ing at the cradle of her child, and later about the bed of her sick husband, and yet she had tasted keenly most of the ipy's and sor rows that belong to, woman's lot. Her sphere had never seemed mean or inade quatelo herself—for holding her child in lief arms, she felt that she po6sessed all the dignity and honor earth has to bestow. But the tears would drop sometimes now as Patience sat alone at her work in the 'slender ray of the candle. There wefts vine shadows where thp rcivir of polled, plants had been, for it was spring, and the gerani ums and heliotropes were out in the little dooryard beds, and sberested in the longer twilight, and lived over the life she first had lived as wife, then as mother, afterward as a lonely widow with her boy away at the war.. Patience had always lived in others. It seemed as though her heart had no sepa rate action of its own, and received its pul sations from the beating hearta of those she oved. When Washington was threatened and danger menaced the Pennsylvania frontier, Alvinlad grown moody at, home because she opposed his wish to join the voluteers. It was the darlt hour of her country's peril, and Patience had wrestled and struggled and prayed until she gained strength to let her boy go out of her anus.. She bad given her ewe lamb,—she sat alone. • Her farm consisted of a few acres of rath er stony land that lay close to the house where she lived. Her husband had been a cooper, working at tubs and barrels off and 'on the busy time of the year; and Alvin had learned the trade, too. But the little 'shop was closed now, and the fields were let out on shares, and eVer since he marched away in the coat'of , army blne her boy bad sent back his pay to the widow, and her cruse and liesket were never empty. • • Her neighbors were very kind. Abiali Williams, who lived on the next place, had banked up her house in the fall and dug and stored lar winter vegetables,, and in the spring as soon us the ground grew mellow he came with hls ox team to plough her garden. By Car petAnaking and odd bits of sewing Patience was able to supply all her slender wants.— Not a penny of her boy's earnipgs lied ever been touched: That money was sacred.— Patience had already spoken to Enoch Hol- ' brook about putting it out at interest. the long winter evenings, when she only heard the slow tick of the clock in the cor ner, or the sough of the wind in -the pine trees, her brain was busy with plans for her boy's future. Deacon Spicer brought the paper in every third day after be had slowly spelled it over for an hour or two at. home. The news had traveled two or three hundred miles by rail and stage before it came to her hand, but Patience watched for it with a beating heat.- The account of a bloody battle gen erally drox e her to bed with a bad headache caused by the harder aching of a mother's heart. Itachael's sympathies were mainly on the mother's side; she did not think so much. of the sttiehen wives or deaolitte young maidens mourning 'over their dead. She had one of those intense but. narrow na tures which Puritanism develops,- with little imagination, but with strong and fervent feelings. Her mind was so deeply religious that the whole of life Was invested with a stitt of, tatted ardor;: even her joy found expression iu some grand old covenanter's ittrin that seemed. to till the pauses of the word in the forest grove near at hand. Patience had looked forward many times to the possible harm that might.corne to -Alvin. She had thought of her loneliness that perhamniight end only with the grave,* and how in satire distant autumn day, when the crickets shoeld,be 'chirping in the trtuh• We, she might feel glad that she had pluck ed out her hearrand given it to God—re membering that ho who would save his life must lose it. , Mut Item were other days when a sober gladness colored-her mood,- and the sublime old hymns that told* or perseCtition'and'vi *- tory over death camo rolling out on her rid voice. Then it 'was easy for her to belie ,e that Alvin would be spared, and she thought of his home-coming as of a second birth, when the Lord' would again put him into her arms as.-'a free , gift. Wi th her deep heart,' that took suph pagerh of what it lovd, kindling ana Warming as it held it, she pictured the life that they would lead together, and slowly pieced out a story of exquisite kind in that, 1 ttle whitewashed room where all his Watery had written it self. A certain nurrOwneas of vision as well as the absorption of her loVe Made Patience almost, blind to 10)40i - 011re Might bring to Ipss in ' - Alvin's heart; The child end the man we;re enviousl' blent tier tin :night. He might want n wifesometime, but lie was hardly grown up yet. Tliemwonid b time enough to think of that years hence. Beyond- the pine grove stood the Ray flitrnhouse and there lived Dior Ray's daugh ter fluidal], .who had been a plain child, but had grown into a lovely young woman with a soft voice, and brown eyes, and longlash es which when ,downcast rested upon a pearly cheek. Some rumor about Alvin_ and litthialt had come to the .ours of Pa tience, but, she blew it away like a feather ' floating in the air. ' Dier Ray's wife--she thought-3vas a talking woman, not mali cious or bed-hearted, but, foolish about her gill; so she avoided going to the farmhouse beyond the bill. When ItErs. Ray reached over in 'meeting to shake hands, with Hul dab looking down from the singers' soot in her pretty straw bonnet trimmed with pink ribbons, Patience met the overture 'rather coldly; still she was obliged to confess that the sweetest voice which arose above Dea con Spicer's wheezy bass viol was Huldah Rey's. Once when Patience was sick with Olen oniatisra and Huldah came to offer her serv ices, bringing a loaf of, her mother's snow white bread done up in the cleanest of tow els, She had turned her face to the wall and spoken but a few words in rather. repellant tones. Then if any one had peeped under the brim of the little brown hat as she , went off-the stoop they would have seen .a ,dim iseSs about Huldah's. , lashes. There Were things which the neighbors suspected, they did not know for certain; and there were things which Deacon- Spicer, being postmaster, thought he knew, for he peered at every letter that came in the lean mail bag from Highlands. Patience was blind, but her blindness had both pathos and dignity. Such a straight, tall, large-eyed woman could not be easily approached by the gossips, so they let, her alone with the music of the pine trees sigh ing around her lonely house, thinking of her boy, getting him,closer to her intense, strong heart, skipping at the interval, and living in the time of his return when they should grow each to the other as the acorn grows to its cup. - • It was a leafy, blosimity day in May when the lilacs were out and the snow balls Were' beginning tolleach, and birds trilled in the boughs, and the sky softened over the Young woods. The gteat 'parti-colored balls of carpet work lay at'Patience's feet, and the Bible, with its worn leather hovers, open at the family 'record . and •dato of her boy's birth, was placed on the stand by her side. With his dry, peculiar ahem! and the shuf fle and stumble by which he was wont to mount the steps, Deacon Spicer got upon the stoop and pushed at the half-open door. He was a shambling old -man,. dressed in a buggy suit of butternut brown that seemed to have been cut quite by accident, . " Good.day, widder, good-dpy." There was a half-tremble in the old man's voice that made Patience involuntarily . ask him, "What is it?" as the work dropped from her hands. "Now don't," said the old man, in acoax ,ing tone, es be reached out and almost touched her gray hair;' " good news .never killed anybody, as I've heard tell of,, and.l guess you can stand , flu. fumbled in his capacious . pockets in an aimless sort of ,way. but every heart.-beat seemed a century , to Patience.

You see the cap's be has went home, and Alvin has' got promoted for gallantry; and the boy, you see—bless my soul, it beats all what I've - done with that letter—the boy got, •ti scratch on his arm, and they've give hint a discharge, and I shouldn't a mite wonder xxxv-snal-1."•....-.1.,.. • . Patience turned upon him trembling and pale tO thelips. " You are not deceiving me," she gasped; " my boy has not been—shot?" - "Deceiving of you, widderi- Why, no," responded the man in extreme astonish ment; " (rye 'spose I'd 'have the face to show myself here! Anything unfortunate that way would stick in my throat and choke me to death. I tell you he's on his way home, and in a fortnight will be as hearty as ever he was in his life." —Atlantic Monthly IL was indeed true; and Patience put her hands before her face, as if the bliss com ing so suddenly was almost too much to bear. The old man wandered on: "I mis trust there's somebody else over the hill yonder who'll be glad to 'get the news." - But Patience scarcely heard him when lie took his leave. She sat there in the red ,light of sunset, with tremulous shadows spotting the coarse plaster wall, her bosom heaving, her eyes dilating, and a young, glad look growing' in her face. She was dreaming of the time when Alvin was a baby; how he played around her chair, and plucked at her gown, breaking out into ;bursts of infantile glee. And now be was Coming home a tall young soldier, and would hneel Own at her feet and put his head in er lap as he had done a hundred times.— She "could almost feel her fingers' in his orisp, curly locks, touching his foYehead, and caressing his cheek. And she sat there in a blissful dream until it grow dark, quite forgetting, she had -gone without her supper. . 1 1bat night_ Patience scarcely slept at all for joy. She was up betimes in the pale dawn to busy herself getting ready for the home-coming of Alvin. She swept, and dusted the old house. She could almost el thit grass grow where the motherly bunches of purple lilacs pushed into Alvin's little room window. Everything had been kept sacredly just as be left it.—the fishing tackle on the wall, the few books on their swing shelf, the emptysquirrel cage on its nail, and oven an old, tattered straw hat hanging beside it. There was cookery to busy Pa tience's hands; she remeinbered all her boy's likings—the seed cookies and favorite pies. But ashen these were dispatched a great margin of time remained, and Patience was too unquiet with happiness to sit down to any work in the house. She went out into the pine grove where the tassels on the old trees all wore a fresh, new green; the bons lonia and wild columbine were blowing at her feet; and she could not help lifting up her voice in a deep, glad chant: " The Lord has been my dwelling place in all genera. tions." • f The path led a quarter of. a Mile beyond the grove through, leafy copses, where the dogwood htul pitched its suolwy tent, here and there on a hanging bank above the highway. Patience wandered on until she gained a lookout, through the boughs, down the road that wound under elms and ma ples. It was a pretty spot, full of tremu lous green light from the young leaves and musical with the Ong of birds. *There Pa tience sat on the moss waiting, she could not, tell how long, such sweet fantasies filled her brain and spun themselves before her eyes. At. length there Caine a faint murmur of - voices, and with 'her heart, fluttering site parted-the branches and peered out. 'Two persons were coining slowly along the path, through spotted shadows and sun-gleams„ wholly ahsurbed in each ot her. - The young man was tall, with a tanned, gaunt face beaming now with a look that unale it handsome. He was dressed in the faded blue of-the army, and carried one arm in .a sling. His companion, a! .young girl, as sweet and pure as a rosebud; walked by his side. She bad taken off herd little brown hat and was letting it swing by the ribbon string: - " Her ,great, wondering, f iunocent eyes were raised' to his; a faint pink had fluttered into her cheeks, naturally pale; the bream was untangling the braids of her" silky hair into tiny rings' and curls.- - The young roan had hold Of one' of her b lob, and'Avas pressing the shy finger-tips"o Lis lips. They paused a little near where Pa, deuce sat, and where the dogivootlSsbeined to make a white drift against the bank. hens, ' " . 0, Huldah," Patience Seemed, tO her boy say, "if you could 'know how I used to think of you first and lust on the long marches!

I have tried to make her love me since you went away; but she is always cold. If I go to see her, she never asks Inc to • come again. I have a present,ltnent she will never consent to give me a daughter's' -dace." "You are trembling like a little scared bird," said Alvin, with a light laugh. "Do you suppose my mother is such a bugbear? Why, aliels just the dearest woman in i the world; and she is so fond of me that ;she will have to love you, Huldab, for my sake. I shall tell her all about it to-night. I meant to have told her before I went away, but you, ttimid little goose, wouldn't let me.— ' aome on up to the old hickory tree there ' by the orchard, and I will let you go back." They moved past, and Patience could moan now. She sat there among the brakes on the hillside with her face heat down to i t her knees. In the long, lonely days' he had thought of only one kind of loss-th, could come to her through her boy; for a oment she felt that it would have been e sier. to bear if he had been brought home fe t fore most Into the old red farmhOuse. He would have been a blessed memory then, and all her own. There are momenta when it seems less heart-rending to give our beloved up in death than in life. Patience arose to her feet instantly,- and as she did so the baser part of her selfhood dropped off. She felt her way down the bank by the tree trunks . and bushes, and a new world of reflection was opened to her mind. For the first time it struck her as right and natural that Alvin should have this beautiful experience.— There had been no great blossoming time in her life; she had married late, with re spect and liking, but all the passion and ro mance of her being had come through moth erhood. ' She was now old; she had not thought<of the intoxicating draught given young souls to drink, nor of the bliss which narrows the world over again to a single pair, and makes a new Eden of clasped hands and meeting eyes. 'Patience felt humble, almost remorseful, as she walked under . the blossomed trees, wavering and tottering a little. She had grown old in a moment; her senses, always remarkably acute, seemed dull. The thought that she Should not last a great while longer came to her with a sense of relief. Why should she live now that her' boy had no more need of her! Is it not written that a man shall leave father and mother and cleave unto his wife? 1 An hour rna,y have passed, for Patience sat down to 'rest once or twice. As she slowly approached the house the lovers still lingered in the shade of the old hickory.— Alvin heard a step behind him, and turning arnund saw his mother standing there.— Something like a blush of shame reddened his,cheek for the selfish indulgence in hap piness which had caused him to loiter so long on the road to a sacred duty. But Pa tience only clasped him about the neck— sobs Would not let her speak. lluidah turned in confusion, and was walking away; but in a moment Patience called to her. " Come here, my child; I know that•you and Alvin love each other, and I want to give you a mother's blessing. You shall have as vai•ni a place in my heart as my boy has. I thank God for two good children instead of one." Huldah hid her bashful face, but Alvi? was beaming with delight. " There," cried ho, " what did I tell you? Why, mother, she was actually afraid that you would never give your consent. But told her you wopld love anybody I loved; mid 3 - ria - CrJuir.4 isclp 10-ring bcr, RAU_ . ed in a half-whisper. Patience smiledfaintly, but a sort of gid diness seized her limbs. Ho ?lover would know What that sweet consenphad cost.— There lies the pathos of many' a sacrifice. " Why, mother, what ails Lyott?" Alvin asked iu alarm. "0, nothing," she answered, "only I am getting old." "Nonsense," exclaimed Alvin; "you are worth more than half the young women in the country; you have been overdoing, and now you must rest and be taken care of." He put his arm around her, and she drew Huldali's hand throUgh her own on the other side. Thus they walked over the grass sprinkled with white clover. Alvin was in high spirits—so glad to be back, with mum' to tell of 'himself; Huldah was so quietly, supremely happy she could not speak a word; but Patience felt that if she could have faded out from between them they would scarcely have missed her. The house was just as she left it; but as she opened the door and heard the Blow ticking of the Clock it seemed as though years, not hours, had passed since she went' out so elate and glad. She sat down in her chair not the woman she had been. Hoer •heart beat slower; her hair appeared to have turned from gray to white in a single ,es e• Settee. She had passed the dividing ridge of life, and was going down on the shady side. She stayed her head with her hand, and whispered to herself, "Not my will but Thine.":—Golden Age. The Newspaper of To-day. There lies upon our nk at this moment a huge volume at whichany one might be excised fOr staring with a sort of. wender.' It bears on its back this title: "American Newspaper Directory." It is simply an enormous catalogue of all the newspapers and periodicals, in all languages, published in the United States and Territories, in the Dominion "of Canada, and in the El.ritish Colonies of North America. It is an accu mulation and array, of names, dates, com mercial items, historical and biographical facts, all illustrative of the wealth, the en terprise, the force, and the vastness of Amer ican journalism.. The distribution of this book among the newspapers of .the conti nent may indeed awaken the. cacklings of professional vanity. It ought, however, to give every journitlist a solemn sense of the majesty of the profession to which- he be longs and, a purer consecration to the best possibilities of so high a service. This Directory is an annual publication, and coustitutes a 'periodical .report of the progress of newspaper enterprise in this poitiou .of world. The ediLe'r of the book is able' to take a very cheerful view of the' present condition 91 our journalism, which, in his opinion, "has never been in so prosperous a einadition ,financially as at this time. A considerable number of our journals have large and handsome newspaper establishments within- the past year, and a large number of others have been projected, while many of the smaller but equally persevering journals have been placed Upon a stronger basis than hitherto, and arc in other respects improved. It has be, observed that our journalism has taken ti-higherionc and . whir enterprise. `.l'o thwe. ho see the mutter closely it is appa rent that this is the ease, and that with its increasing strength there is a controlling sense of dignity in the press of America which is fitting to its developanent and to the large interests in its care." No speech iu this world is quite so elo quent as the language of statistics, and we are confident of our success in beguiling the attention of our readers 'while we give them a few of the enticing data which wo' cull and collatO from this book.

If it were organized like the professions of the law and of medicine, with US appropriate code, its appropriate maxims, aspirations., desires,-and antipathies , it might greatly in crease its purity, dignity, and influence.— Brains and culture and the power of ex pression would preserve their rights in the new Profession against the;bverbearing ways of capital as successfully as covresponding eminence does in the two older professions. Besides, if duly organized, journalism could protect itself, not only from assaults that are without, but from the greater harm of dis graces that are within. , ' No ono can dubt that American journal ism is to goon fh — material enterprise.
