Mrs. Merviu was seated in her neat sit tlng room, towards the dose of the short winter ■ day, busily sewing. Her work basket, pled high with garments cat and ready for making, was oh the table at her side. Who has hot a pleasant remem branqe of mothers; hrork basket, so rarely empty? In that • willow repository was always to be found the little roll of soft linen for cut fingers; the identical button 1 needed; 'or, just the piece of ribbon for ! the boy’s hatband. ’ There, too, was moth- j er's bail of wax, bearing the impress of; little teeth. Many are the old memo- j ries that are stirred by the sight of a work j basket, and with them all is associated the 1 memory of the - patience, gentleness and | love of the dear one whose hands were { tireless in the labor of the family. j Hie little sitting room was in faultless < order. The and chairs of ma- ; pie shone brightly in the reflection offhei cheerful coal fire :in the grate. There j were no tongs in the corners, nor finger ’ marts upon the door?, to indicate the pres ence of little ones; in the family. Mrs. Mervin was a fastidious housekeeper, and perhaps thought order to be regarded be fore comfort. At any rate, her four good healthy, happy children were constantly being rebuked for the overflowing life they .manifested. They would come ,in froml the street with muddy boots: and play j horse with the chairs; and \ scatter chest- I nut shells with layish freedom over the carpet; but the wont effect of it was that it fretted their mother keenly. She was not aware how much and how easily wor-1 tied she was by occurrences so slight and | so .usual in a family. v | She wits, when married, somewhat past | her youth. Her brothers and asters were j early married and; settled, and she was j left at the homestead, the dutiful house keeper ofher old parents, who were both * ALTOONA, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1863 sickly. In their well ordered home, un disturbed quiet and tranquility reigned. — She learned to love the calm, uneventful course of her life and when, at the death of her parents, she married Mr. Mervin. a prosperous mechanic, and a man of stung home affections, with a nature like the sunshine ot summer, overflowing with gladness, it was hardly to he wondered at that the sud'ien change I rum her former life was too startling to I>e agreeable.— But although she was at lirst shocked to find that her husband did not wAlk with the cat-like tread of a slippered invalid, nor speak with the faint voice of weafc ness,-and that he had an inveterate habit o( slamming doors, when fairly roused from the tof|x,r of her former life, his quick, elastic tread, and cheerful, manly tones, seemed a positive relief But with the advent of her children, Mrs. Mervin lost her peace and serenity. To find that she could not keep her rooms in faultless order: that the little rogues, regardless of chance callers, would scatter the contents of her work basket over the door, and pile their building blocks on the sofa, were sources of serious trouble to her: for site was not a woman to pass qui etly over little disturbing incidents.— When during the presence of visitors any little mishap occurred, which a few laugh ing words of apology would easily have set right, her contusion and distress were so evident as to be positively painful to see. Then, she could not have her meals punctually ready: and although her hus band, thoughtful and considerate beyond the average of his race, never found fault, but cheerfully releived her of the care which hindered her efforts (an unexampled fact), still she valued her reputation as a housekeeper too highly to allow it to be encroached upon by maternal cares. In short, she was in danger of falling into Mrs. Joe (Margery’s way of -■ mating clean liness far more unpleasant than din could possibly be." But there was a great stamping of little feet and a chorus of little voices in the hall, and then the door opened and in came the troop, rosy and bright eyed, each eager to tell mother the news first. “Now, ! Fred, and Louis, and Georgie, yon may take my jackstones if you’ll let me tell mother all about it.” said Willie, the oldest, holding the pebbles high above the reach of the little brown bands. “ All right: hand over,” was the cheer ful answer; and, seated upon the door, they began dexterously tossing and catch ing tbestqnes. “ Npjv, mother,” began Willie, eagerly, haying; paid for his right as spokesman, “ we have just been down to see Jimmy West. | He is a little boy our teacher told oa aboat. He can’t walk nor even rise from bis bed. He is about as old as Fred dy, too, and he looks so pale. Can we take him some of our nice grapes, and some toys and books ? He likes to read.” The little speaker paused, with tears in his eyes. . “ I don’t care what you take to him : do as you please,” was the cold reply. — “Here,you are. boys, with your hats still on, and you forgot to wipe your feet on the door mat. Why will you bfe so heed less?” Willie turned away with quivering Up, too much grieved to speak. A cold per mission bad been given, but sympathy had been denied him. “ Why, mother,” spoke up bright Uttle Fred, with a look of charming frankness, “ its so hard for a fellow to remember. I meant to have sure.” * “Well, Fred,” said the mother, smiling in spite of herself, “ I see that your father is coming. Be ready to take his coat and boots, and bring his gown and slippers.” The boys rushed joyfully to the door. In came the father and caught Louis up on bis shoulder: pot his hat on Fred's cnrly head, drawing it over his eyes; tosed a new magazine, on his wile’s work table; and finally found a seat upon the floor in consequence of the manoeuvres of Master George, who attempted to place himself beside Louis. The uproar' of merriment at such a. downfall subsided as the mother said com plainingly— “Children, you dea tract me with your noise. Why did you not get your father's gown and slippers, as I told you? Do it now, and then comp in and be quiet.” “ Tes, boy’s,” said their father, “we must not be so rude. We will hare our frolics out of doors.” Quiet yas soon restored, and Mrs. Mervih withdrew to prepare tea. During the evening, Willie was subdued and sad. He did not join in his brothers’ games, bat sat moodily in a corner. Once or twice his mother praised him for his quiet behavior, but the kind: words awoke no pleasure in the sober little face. Fi nially, the children’s bedtime arrived, and the young irrepressibles were sufficiently calm to think of such a. thing as deep Willie sedately led the way, carrying the cradle,and the parents vrere left in peace ful possession. . “ What healthy little rogues they are,” was the father’s comment, as he cut the leaves of a periodical preparatory *© read ing aloud. (The model man!) [nrnKPKxnExr re EVKRYTHreG.] Yes, indeed,” said Mrs. Mervin, with motherly pride. *' And how well Willie behaved to-night. 1 If they would lie so quiet I should be glad." * *• I •ion’i know; His fad little lace (mined me. What, had clouded it Mrs. Mervin reflected. "I haven’t thohgbt of it since: but iic hurst into the room to-night to tell me about a little lame boy he had seen. H e wished to take : some things to him : ayd I g!>ve him permission to do so, al though 1 presume 1 didn’t enter into his feelings as much as he expected. I was more anxious to have him clean his boots at the time than anything else.” Mrs. Mervin looked grave. ** A little lame boy, you say ? W est. 1 presume.” “ Yes'; that was the name,” said Mrs. Mervin, w-onderingly. " 1. too, called there to-nigh, just after the boys left.- James West, the father of .this little boy. was an old friend of mine. He was a gentle, timid, sensitive minded person, too shrinking and retiring to bat tle with the world- If he had possessed wealth to foster delicate fancies, and left him above work, he might have been happy. But poverty was his inheritance. His health would Hot permit of any very active labor, and the rebuffs he met with in his attempts to authorship (he was quite a tine poet in my opinion) were so many shocks upon his mind and physical health. He married a poor but most ex cellent girl, whose energetic labors sup ported thein, although quite scantily.— But James died at the early age of twenty eight. This I learned from his widow. She has only lately moved to this place. I heard of their being here, and thought I would call on my way home.” “ How was the little boy's lameness produced r” asked Mrs. Mervin, with muck interest. '■ He was walking in a field, and came to a ditch about four feet wide. What would any one of our boys have done in the same case 1 ” “ Leaped it at one bound.” “Just so; but he, timid and lacking energy like his father, shrank from the attempt, and tried to- place a board across. The board fell on his foot and twisted it badly. He took cold in it, and he has never had the use of it since.— When his mother told me of it, she spoke of the.healthy little, fellows who had been in a few moments before with so much envy. How earnestly she wished that her boy could shout with as much strength, and ran and leap with as much vigor and lile. But her little boy’s misfortune* seemed only to endear him to her, and many were the fond glances she bestowed on the wan little face on the pillow.— And no wonder, for be has a sweet ex- pression.” ' And Mrs. Mervin then relapsed into a state of reverie. For a few moments the shining bit of steel in Mrs. Mervin’s Angers flew swiftly over the white garment she was making, and then the work fell from her hands, and she looked up in her husband’s face with tearful eyes. “ Oh! Walter,” she said, falteringly, “we have so much to be thankful for; and I have been so ungreatful. I never again can wish to quell this God-given life, which will be as a rare talent in their world-battle.” The next morning, Willie and his brothers were supprised and please! to re ceive permission to visit the little lame boy, and take' such fruit and books as they might select; and,further, that their mother would accompany them. So a basket was partly filled with delicious grapes, that had been carefully stowed away in cotton. A bowl of delicate jelly was placed in the middle. A few’ rosy apples found room in the intervals, and little Louis, with his own bands, 1 placed at one end a small cake that had been baked for himself. A satchel of inter esting Books was prepared, and they started on their walk. The widow’s cottage, though small and humble, had a grass plot, and was sur rounded by trees. la summer it might be very pleasant. In the city a poor widow’s home is small, narrow, and unhealthy in its closeness. In the blessed country there is room for all. The room where lay the little invalid was a model of neateness. The mother a sweet, intelligent person, with] whom Mrs. Mervin was much, channel. - She was iodnstironsly binding shoes for the shop, and scarcely i laid aside her work when her caller entered. She was mak ing haste to finish her work, that she might buy Jimmy some grapes and jelly, luxuries which he-coveted so much. The glances, and Freddy, quite, forgetting himself,' shouted glee fully— “ Don’t you know it? We’ve got some I” and, drawing the cover from the basket, he set it in herylap. She gave one glance within, and then, with her eyes filled with happy tears, and with a look of gratitude to Mas. Mer vin, silently passed at it to Jimmy. The look of perfect happiness that overspread • the pale little faee seemed to Mrs, Mervin too great a reward Daring the pleasant conversation that folio wed, she ascertained that Mrs. West took in sewing: and it was very natural that Mrs. Mervin should conclude that .she had too much sewing to do alone: and when she took her leave, after a pleasant sociable* call, it was settled that the widow should, for an ample recom !K-uce, assist her. 4 A change gradually made itself mani fest in Mrs. Mervin’s household. There was niuch more easy comfort and leas formality. The children romped as much as ever, but their mother could not re buke them when she thought that when they were men the restlessness would be power- ’ When, at times, there was 100 great a ; confusion, a gentle word acted magically in quieting it; for the children found that there was a great deal of con sideration exercised toward them, and thus, gradually, they came to practice the same good quality. Jimmy As they grew older, the restless activity that had characterized their childhood merged. into the safe, broad channels of energetic industry. The little lame boy was always a favorite with them. They constructed for him a little cart, and it was always a delight to them to wheel him about. But he finally recovered the use of his foot, though he always walked lame. Ihe noble boys always befriended him. and he looked up to them as true heroes, worthy of all honor. To 'whatever trades or professions they may, as men devote them selves, it is certain that they will carry thereto no small share of their most desi rable of all capital, the true elements of success—energy, activity and persevering industry. AB.TEMAS 09 THE DBAFT Artemas Ward, volunteer assistant to the Provost Marshal General, issued the following circular. His decisions axe clear and explicit, preserving the ingenu ity and consistency of the Provost Marshal General, and their style betrays a touch of that dignitary’s master hand : CIECrtAK NO- 7s. As the undersigned has been led to fear that the law regulating the draft was not wholly understood, notwithstanding the numerous explanatory circulars that have been issued from the National Capitol, of late, he hereby issues a Circular of his own; and if he shall succeed in mating this favorite measure more clear to a discern ing public, he will feel that he’has not lived in vain : , I. A young man who is drafted and inadvertently goes to Canada, where he becomes embroiled with a robust English party, who knocks him around so as to disable him for life, the same occurring in a licensed bar room on British; soil, such young men cannot receive a pension on account of said injuries from the United States Government, nor can his heirs or creditors. 11. No drafted man in going to the appointed rendevous, will be permitted to go round by way of Canada, on account of the roads being better that way, or be cause his “Uncld William” lives there. 11l- Any gentleman living in Ireland, who was never in this country, is not liable todraft,.norare Ins forefathers. This latter statement is made for the benefit of those enrolling oficers who have acted on the supposition that the able-bodied malt. population of a place included dead gentle men in the cemeteries. IV. The term of enlistment is for three years, bnf any man- who may have been drafted in tw o places has a right to go for six years, wether the war lasts that length of time or not —a right this department hopes he will insist on. V. The only sons of a poor widow, whose husband is in California, arc not exempt, but the man who owns stock in the Vermont Central Railroad is." So also are incessant lunatic- habitual lecturers, persons who were bom with wooden legs or false teeth. Blind men (unless they acknowledge that they “ can’t see it” ) and people who deliberately vpletl for John Tyler. VI. No drafted man can claim exemp tion on the ground that lie has several children whom he supportsi and who do hot bear bis name, or live in the same house with him, and who have never been introduced to his wife, but who, on the contrary, are endowed with various mothers, and “ live round.” A Golden Thought. —l never found pride in a noble nature, nor humility in an ' unworthy mind.

' ISfltfhy' is sympathy like blind man’s! thwaT boff ? 1| is a fellow feeling for a fellow! to some forty- dety has an interesting paper oa t “ JJews ■paper Editors and reporters,” in -which we find the following paragraphs respecting “ Memory” Wbodfall, known in England as the “Father of Modem Reporting “It was his practice to go down early to the House of Commons and secure for himself a favorite, corner in the front row of the strangers’ gallery. There, he sat the long night through, never budgtng from his place, solacing himself as he grew taint with the indigestible but portable dainty of a. hard-boiled egg, and with h»« eyes and his attention fixed upon the va rious speakers, but without taking a single note : the appearance of the note-book or penal would have led to immediate expul sion by the seigeant-at-arms or mes sengers. He would absorb, as it woe, the whole scene passing before him, and would reproduce it on paper to the extent of several columns in time for the publica tion of the following evening, in this way he gave a character to the CkromcU whjch raised it far above all its contem poraries. ” Other papers, of coarse, followed in his wake: literary men, blessed with good memories became in great demand, and were liberally paid—as literary pay went in those days—to devote their nights to the gallery of Parliament, and their days to writing out as much of^rhathad passe*i there as they could recollect; bat, so hmg as he bad to encounter only «nngU report ers, Woodlail out-distanced them all— Some oi them might be equal to him in one part of the work, others in another: one man might remember as much; an other might express it as elegantly, and a third might produce it with as much dis patch: but Woodlail had the union of nil three to an extent which none of them could match. In that feature, which was most apparent to the reader, and in which they were most interested, some of his contemporaries were woefully behind him. It was no uncommon thing for some of them to be seven days in arrears with their Parliamentary debates.
