If this wero Indeed true, what of the Judgment when It was opened In her last day?" "Your work done? Nothing to live for?" confiuufd the visitor, as she saw tliat her words had found a lodgment. "My dear ffiehd I God says to you now, as he has been saying to you every dny that you havo been idly sor rowing In this chamber of gtlef, 'The hatvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. The life of hi;avHi 15 not a liroof useless repining, but of action and good deeds. Your children aro in heaven. If you would meet them there you must nrUe aud move onward In the way to heaven." "What can I do?" There was a hopeless, almust despairing look In the mother's face. "What can I do ?" she repeated, "If thero Is a willing heart. God will see that thu hands are not Idle for lack of wink," was ausweied, "lie- has motherless children, as well as childless mothers to care for. II thero Is mother love in your lieart.letithave fTeecourso in blessing. Don't bottle It up, n uso less thing and burdensome to catty; but give it free cour.-e.and like a stream gushing forth in thu desert, it will quicken a thousand sweet blossoms of love into beautiful existence." "Take tho child of a stranger to my bosom? Glvo my chlldieit's rjlaCo to another? No no not I cannot bear the thought. Sacred to my own dear babes shall their mother's breast te m.i I ii. No other head must find a pil low there. Anything but that I Any thing but that I" And tho mourner turned her face away, and hid it from sight; nlbrmur lug as she did so, "If this Is asked of mo, It is moro than I can give " "All children nio alike precious in tho eyes of God and his angels,'' said the friend. Hut tho nicfurner gave ro response. "And what Is niother-love,but God's, lovo (lowing into the mother's heart ?' It is not her lovo, but Ills; and all It's pure Intensity, ltd deep blessedness, Is from Him, to tho end that Ills children may be tenderly cared for, And He can give, and has given, this deep ble 8edue-s, even wliuro the babe has not been llesh of the Mesh, and bono of the bene. He will give it to you again, ir you take to your loving breast a tender inlaiit whose, mother's liertrtis cold itml pulseless. 1 know where there Is such an Infant. I looked, to-day, luto the heaven ol Its soft blue eyes; on its pure while forehead, shaded by rich clusters, of chestnut hair; on Its checks, ruddy as spilng tlowers.dn. lis lips, that I felt like devouring with kisses. I looked at it, and thought of Win happiness It could bring lo your heart; and ot the llfo of neglect, and sulferln, and evil tliat you might change lutouueofheav-en-lnfu'sed deligh't " There was a sign of interest in tho mourner. "I have rarely seen a sweeter babe. It lay on n pillow besldo its poor moth when she died ldst night, fjli'e would have It there; and her last look was upon its sleeping face; nnd ohl what a tender, yerfrfilng.sirrowlng look ItwaS; for she knew, that It must bo left be hind with stranger hearts." Thu Iiimbo of that living babo and its dead mother touched, the' uuuroer's feelings. She nioVed uneasily, iind then turned her eyes upo'u the face of her visitor. "What will b'o dono with the child?" 9h'e asked. "Heaven only knows," was tb6 ans" wer. "Where Is it?" "With a poor woman until after tho burial. Hut tlio has n babo of her own. and cannot keep It. Some oue spoke of the alms-house. Hut I havo seen the condition of lufauts' thero. No, it shall hot bo takeu to tho alms house." Noihlui more was said for ncarlv a minute; and each sat looking upou the Ilour, busy with her own th'oughfs "I wish yea could see that ba babo," said tho visitor Hut there was no reply Another mug sueuce louoweu. "A sweeter babe my eyes h'aVS never rested upon for a long, long time." Still the mourner bat, with her eyes upon the floor. ".May I bring him for yon to see?" "Why do that 7 I don't want the child J" The mourner spoko with slight impatience, and the manner of one who was moving lu a certain direction against her will. "It will do yon'r heart good to look epon his baby face, In which he even blttll'a l,Ti rtl ,tnr. ...... s ' .nl.rn'. U......O u a U,U1I 1UU US IIUII, 1, IUIIIVI lou don't know what a cherub ho Is."

Oh I no; ller work was not done. .She saw It 'ylng about her; anil gathering for her hands In the future; nnd her heart went down Into It, and rested upon ii In peaco and hope. Pay by day the hairy grew In beauty, and day by day It bpened now chambers In the .modrner's heart chambers which had been shut and locked open ed and possessed them as his own. Nothing to II vo for I It seemed to her that slio had, now, a world of new Interests; nnd n world of new duties. Not cold, I ard duties, Into which she jnust descend In painful reluctance; but mines in which lovo was an Inspiration. She was of those who tenderly love children. The loss of her own touched her very life. It seemed ns If shomust die under tho pain of this affliction. And so, when tho objects of her deep affection wero Utien, she. said to her- seir, "My work is done;" and, sitting down in darkness, she refused to be comforted. Hut that tender love of childien was God's love lu her heart. and, as all sollls nro ht, he could fill it wlili life nnd Joy again If she would but let It havo free course In some new direction.

The doors of liar mini's clicus were hardly opened re cently befofe tin old m'an over sixty years of ngo was walking coolly Iti with out a pasteboard. Whtn halted, lie snh: "Can't stop I inlnuto I am looking for L'hlneas." "Ticket ticket!" cried the doorman, as he held on to hi in. "1 tell you 1 have an engagement to meet l'hineas T.

T. loses n clean tf.UOO ho must btflme yc'B, and not mo. Ho told me to call at this hour, and hero I am." That settled it. Itanium was not In town, and tlio old man was lilted up and dropped odUido the ropes. Within two minutes a young man wallicd up to the door and said I hat he had been promised a free entrance In consideration of the fact that he had been run over by the baud wagon. "Show me the Injury show mo tlm place!" said tho ticket-taker, as he reached right uud left for tho paste boards. "It v?as r.n Internal lnjtfry," replied the victim. "Go away go away wo pay for nothing that isn't visible, aud wo have nothing iu this show vVhicif ca'uuot be seeu by the naked eye." A woman bought a ticket for herself, and then' taking n boy fully fourteen years old III, her arms she wrapped a sliaWI around him and started lu.

Shu btarted to pass, but caught her foot and fell flat, and "baby" rolled out of the shawl In all tils hlgliuess.

So spoko Col. Lasdllo' to his French gtcnadlerJ jut before tho final charge that decided tlio battle of Wag. rain. Then lie waved his sword and shouted: "Em A'Afi I" Forward swept tlio grenadiers like ri torrent, with a shout which the Aus trians opposed to them already knew to their costi Through bliudlng smol'to nnd pelting shot they t'lslicd headlong ou, with mouths parched, faces burn ing, and teeth set like a vice, liver and anou a red flash rent the mur ky cloud around them, nnd the cannon shot came tearing through their ranks, mowing tliem down like griisg. Itut not d man flinched, for the same thought was in every mind, that thby were lighting uuder the eyo of their "Little Corporal," as thoy ntfectionatcly called (lie terrible Napoleon, Suddenly the smoke paii.'d.nnd right In front bt them appeared Ihe dark muzxles ot cannon, antt the white uni forms of tho Austilan toldlers. 6no last c-hout, which rose high above all the roar of battle, tho bayonets went glittering over tlio bteastwork like tho spray of a breaking wave, aud (lie bat tery was won. "Where's the colonel ?" died a vtilcfa suddenly. Tliete was no answer' Tho hand ful of men that remained of the doomed hand looked meaningly at each oilier, but no one spoke. Strict disciplinarian as ho was, seldom passing a day with out punisblug some one, the old colonel had nevertheless won his men's hearts completely by his rcckless.darlng cour age in battle; add cjvery man In the reglm'eilt wou'ld gladly have fliked his life to save that of the "old growler," as they called him. But, If he wero not with theiri, whore, was ho? Outsldo tiio baltery the whole ground was 6courged Into flying Jets of dust by a storm of bullets from the fight that was still raging on tho left. In such a cross tiro tt seemed as If noth ing living could escape, and If ho had fallen theto, there wrii but llltlo hope for him. "I see him," cried a tall grenadier. "He's lying out yonder,Una alive, too, rot-1 8ff.w him ftavo iils hand just now. i'li havo him here lu five minutes boys, or bo left thero besiilo him." "But you mustn't disobey orders.Ou bols," said a young captain now the only surviving officer, so terrible had been the havoc hoping by IhU means to stop tho rcckleas uirtn from r(!shng upon certain death, "Iteniember what thb eo!on61 told you that even If he were left nmotig thb wounded, uo ono must go to pick them up." "I can't help that," nnswered the soldier, laying down tits musket ami tightening tho straps ot Ills cfnis-belt. "Captain, report Private Dubois for In subordination nnd b'reach of discipline Via going out to bring lu the colonel." And lie stepped unflinchingly Into tho deadly space beyond. They saw him approach tho spoj where tiio colonel lay; they saw him bend over tho fallen man, shielding 111 hi from thu shot with' his .own body. Then he was seen to stagger suddenly, ns If from a blow; but the tiext mo ment ho had the colonel in his arms and was struggling back over tho shot torn ground, 'through tho dying and the dead. Twico he stopped short, as if unable to go farther; but on he came again, nnd bad just laid his officer gent ly down Inside tho battery, when, with his comrades' shout of welcome, still ringing In his cars, ho fell fainting' lu the earth, covered with blood. By tho next morning Colonel Lasallo had recovered sulllclently to amazo the whole regiment by putting under arrest the man who had saved his lire; but the moment It was done the colonel mount ed his h'ofse, anil rode off to headquar ters at full gallop, In about an hour he was seen coming back again, side by side witli n shott, square built man In a gray coat and cocked hat, at sight of whom tho soldlcri burst Into deafen lug cheers, for he was no other than tho Emperor Napoleon. "Let mo see -this fellow," falil Na poleon, strtnlyf arid two grenadiers led ft rward Pierre Dubois so weak from his founds that he could hardly stand. "S", fellow, lliou Has dared to dis obey orders, ha?" cried Ihe emperor In his harshest tones. "I have, sire. And If It wero to' be done again, I'd do It." "And what If we wero to stool thee for Insubordination?" "ilylifols your Majesty's, now as always," answered the grenadier bold ly, "And It I must choose between dying myself and feaving ray colonel to die, the old leglment can better spare a common feliow like, mo than a brave officer like hlin'." , A suildeu spasm shook the colonel's iron facb us" he listened, and eyen Na poleon's stern, gray eyes softened, as fe?7 men bad ever seen them soften yet. "Thou'rt wrong thero," said he "for t would not give a 'common fellow' uf thy sort for twenty colonels, were every one of them as good as my old' Lasallo hero, Take this, Sergeaut, Dubois" and he fastened his own' cross' ot the Legion ot Honor to Pierre's breast.
