Patience Wilson, a hirth-right mem
ber of . the Society of 'Friends, was
not comfortable , or.easy, or at peace
as she arrayed erself for the Sunday

plain drab dress and simple straw

There was a vision i i her mkt' of a

" Aunt Phebe don't believe_
in anything outside of our meeting
htinse., For my peg, I believe in

"Yes, John Deane I" Said 'the sis

f Patience colored elightly,otid made
a movement toward the door. °' 'Come,'
she said; hastily, "Aunt PUN: slid
mother are half=way •to Meeting:"
So they 'were ) and' talking gravely
of Patient:O.
" She is a- great burden sr! my
mind,", said AnntPhebe. , '"The pimps
and vanitiesof the world are.tempt
ing her, end she is unsettled."
A shadow, petaled over the mother's
Madonna' face. "Patience is young,
thee kiews,"-was • her mild answer.
The mother% eyes had not been blind'
to the dismal:dal:l;On in her daughter's'
mind, and the rebellion in her life
but settextenuatiOn is not ei re eat
eral than the mother's extenuation
for her child's error. " Patience is
young," she repeated, seeing that her
sister made no reply. •
"It's a pity Patience wouldu't take
to Eli Gardner," said Aunt Phebe,
after a minute's pause. "He is a
good„yOung man ) and a consistent
Friend, and it would be a good thing
for Patience it) be settled in life. Eli
would mate a steady woman 'of her."
"I don't know," answered the moth
er gravely. " I have my &Debts
about--"
She -paused, as if she feared her
speech might not find favor -in her
sister's eyes. ' -
• " About what ?" 'asked the ' elder
sister, somewhat sharply. "Thee
surely_ hasn't any dOubta about Eli
Gardner 1 He is one •of the salt of
rale earth."
" No, I don't doubt Eli, but I doubt
his power to make Patience love him,"
replied the mother. • •
" Now, JSue ! thee don't mean to
say- that thee intends to uphold Pa
tience in any of her whims and no ; '
Cons," exclaimed the 'elder sister,
rebukingly. "It is thy duty, as a
-brand pluckedirom the burning, to
save thy child,"
The two womenrelapsed into
truce. Phebe- Ilorgan's word had
given Jane Wilson food fur thought,-
and she walked along with - a . face
profoundly meditative.
"It is a spirit'," Ph be Morgan said
;to herself. ' Sister Jane will preach
to-day."
Into the little meeting -house strag
gled Patience and 'Rebecca Wilson;
after a silence like that of the grave
had - fallen on the little grenp assem
bled. I say straggled, because that
was the term used by Phebe Morgan
when, from the high seats that over- ,
looked the - meeting, she saw her
neices come,.in. Patience was a great
trial to her in those days. Even the
way Ph o entered the meetinghouse
offended her There was a loftiness
about her carriage that vexed her all
the more because it was so natural to
Patience in those days. ShZ did nbt
like the look in Patience's eyes either,
as they wandered about the simple
low-ceiled meetinghouse, taking in
the hard, bare walls, the cold, white
wood work, the uncarpeted' floor, the
meek women, and grave men : the
look wa. 'full of, undisguised dispar
agement. Then seated was
no better. She, fidgeted in her place,
she pulled nervously at her gloves,
and tapped impatiently with her
shoes—and was, to use her aunt's .
I figure, as uneasy as a fish out of
water.
It was a correct figure. -A fish out
of water—that was Patience Wilson
sitting in the little meeting-house
with- her thoughts away off to the
little Gothic church of St.. John's,
where another; band of worshippers
assembled. She had never been there
hut twice, but ' she knew it ell by
bean, as artists know a picture not
i)ften Peen, but studied .carefully.—
,She was picturing to herself now the
:"altar with its purple hangings, the
daintily troscoed walls,'the fluted pit;
-jars, the. windows of red and grew'
and blue and gold, the carpeted aisles
and ausbiowd pews.. At length the
nervous movements ceased, and Par
tient* Wilson sat . calm and thought
ful:. She bad forgotten where abe
was, and its iroagination the mellow
tight from. the Stained windows 'fell"
upon her, and she was a worshipper
at St:John's. ' The organ pealed forth
its `gloriens-notea ofrmony, and
Patience -Nilson, as -twice before,
bowed her head with its burden of
praise, and weirt, to-hear the loud
ascription— ' Tibi Domine !
She was not forgetful of him who sat
,before the organ, and woke the slum
t bering music from its pipes and keys.
John Du ine, organlat, was the epee
ality at St. John's in whom Rebecca
Wilson had said shrewdly that Pa
tience believed.: There was another
at St. John's
,w,hom she did not forget
—Katie Ranter, with the 'rose-Ind
iquarledAresir; the labe and gold gar
nets, the bight ribbnns and=iscarlet
flowers. Katie Hunter sang alto to
John Duane's .plaling, and _Patience
Wilson , did not like her. ;Soddenly
Patience. Wilson cape out of • her,

Patience Wilson drew back as she
said, "Thank thee, but I had -sooner

in' a, vexed tube, "thee shouldn't talk

"Humph I Dilly Duane says but-

Patience Wilson, frowning, said
"If thee isn't quiet, David, I'll ! tell

It was a threat not to be disregard
ed. The boy glanced backward at
his mother's Madonna face, and was
quiet.
Patience - b l otted after the two pe
destrians wb'i tripped lightly by the
side or-the , road. How pretty Kate
Hunter was I she thought. She was
not absolutely prettier than herself,
but Patience knew that Katie Hunt
eels good points were brought out
and intensified by harmonious colors
and the modiate's skill, while bej own
--she glanced down at her drab
dress ) with the old disparaging look,
and liighed. John Duane was so fond
of bright tints and decided shades
He was fond of all things beautiful.
He was a faAionable man, too—a
man of the wlirld. Aunt Phebe called .
him. He bad mingled much in socie
ty of women who studied Paris lash
ionsi and, made their purple-and fine
linen after the latest modes. He was
a Omit lover of music. tinder his
skillful fingers rare melodies .were
evolved, and to his careful ear no
harmony ? was lost. He danced also:
Moreover t he liked it. Kate Hunter
said it was lovely beyond all things
to dance with him, he kept such per
fect time. And she ? She was a
Quakeress, hedged on all aides by a
disciiline that even took the curl out
of her hair, she said sarcastically.—
John Duane was a star out of, her.
sphere. What stars were hi, her!
sphere ? She glanced down at Eli'
Gardner. He Was the man of her
mother's" and Aunt • Phebii's election ;
but she shook: her head and drew
away instinctively, so wrapped in her
own Abiinghtg -that she did not hear
Eli' Gardner mi ll he had addressed
her twice.
" The picnic=-the walking picnic ,

he asked.
Patience shook her head. ""lio,"
she answered, kbeently.
"The young , people will be newt&

when I get the chance but once. Our,
ways are no very different, Miss 'Pa.

" Yes," Patience _answered. The
'difference of their ways had been the
burden of her thoughts that,day.
"1 wanted to see you especially to
invite you to join the walking party
to gaggle Cliff on. Thursday," John
Puane explained. "The Hunters and
Norton., and most of the young peo

you are not going to refuse," t►e add
ed, seeing the doubt on Patience's
- " I don't know," Patience began.
" Oh, but you must go," John

" I have made great calculation on

" I have decided, to go to Eagle

The young man's face brightened
visibly. "I am glad thee has cling.

" John Duane's sister, Susie, the

explained. "Thei.may she is a lovely

under her jauntylittle hat, the gold:
and garnets at her throat, and a
crimson -sash over her snow-White
dress.
" Miss Hunter is a great belle ,"
_
Susie Duane remarked, watching the
gentlemen around her. "Brother
John says she practices the art of
dress iu its perfection. , John is such
a critic of ladies' dress."
The thin hands pf the invalid were
toying with Patience's hair. "What
lovely hair she exclaimed, lifting
the front locks from Patience's face
and coaxing them into curls over her
finger. " How it changes you 1" she
added, with a chilli's delight. . " I
know what John meant when ho said
your po ssible
. beauty was greater
than Katie Hunter's positive beauty.
Now let me put some of these scarlet
berries in your braids. Isn't it love

They sang those quaint words of
Shelley, set to an old'air
"Nothing in ihe world is single.

In one anther's being mingle;
Why not I with thine"
Patience listened like one entranced.
" You love-music ?" Susie Duane
said watching her rapt face.
"I know nothing of it," Patience
anwered. "But it always stirs me
deeply." She hummed the air the
others had just dropped.
"Bravo I" exclaimed Seusie Duane.
"You must have a good ear." '
"She has a quick appreciation and
a fine ear,fladded John Duanejoining
them. "It is • great pity Miss Pa

and scarlet berrierin her hair. • Life
meant sacrifice now. " I shall make

" She will yet preach from the
high teats," thought Aunt Phebe.
But Patience Wilson's niother
sighed. Whatever sacrifice. her life
hadliknown she had found some com
pensation in Abram Wilson's love,
but no such compensation came to
Patience.
"II shall never' marry Eli Gardner
to the lotigsst 'day I live, " she said
to her mother; months liftr she had
given up John Nam, and Jane Wil

nacity of purpose that admitted of
no compensation.

'" Unfortunately, -I remember," was
the deep,passimuite . answer , and far
a 'single instant there flashed into
Jane Wilson's eyes the spirit of re:
hellion that sometimes sat on Pa-
Uence'a face. • It was, only an in
stant. She glanced-around the room
on her children's wondering faces,
and with the habit of years upon her

- Patience Wilson that night cram•
pled in her . hand a note. It was John
Dtianes old plea presented for the
last time :
',Nol

-Al things vine,
.' In one another's being mingle,
- Wby not / with Wm?"
"There is no use," Patience Wil
son was saying to herself. " I can
not grieve my mother so. After to
night there shall be an end. After
to-night I"
She arose with, a determined
put on the simple drab bonnet and
gray shawl and: went out. At the
gate she halted and glanced at the
'windows of the low ,farmdionse.—
Througb o the r -half-parted
_curtains of
the sitting-room she' could see her
Aunt ! Phetes rigid face - and snowy
cap, and Patience Wilson unconsci-
ously crouched holind the fence.—
What she meditated would bring all
the vials of that goodtvoman's indig
nation on her head. She glanced up-
ward tp her mother's, bedchamber
where alow light burned. Was
Mother praying for her ? And -was
the intent of her heart counter:l to
that mother's prayers and teachings?
She turned, for a moment as if to'fre
trace her steps.
Me lightuf her mother's chamber
went nuddenly out and Patience de
bated with hereel "She will never
keow,"- she said, " and I mutt hear
John Duane's Music once more." She
tallied' tor a ;moment, and took the
direction of St., John's.
Suddenly she stopped, for the door
of the farm•bouse•closed softly and a
bent figure moved slowly down the
narrow walk and out of the little
gate. She bent her ear to listen, but
there was no sound save the ringing
of the bell at, St. John's. That bell
brought4ip a memory of John,Duano
again: "It was only my nerves that
made me think I heard footiteps,"
she said to herself reassuringly,
"And I. must hear' John Duane this
once.". She moved on stealthily, half
crunching bytthe road-side, and alit
tie 'way behind, like a shadovr_nf her
gu lty stealthily crept another
half bent figure. It took the direc
tion of St. John's also , sometimes
wavering as Patience had done, but
always choosing &il!) , the road that
lay - toward the little Episcopalian
church,
'4way In the back of St. John's, so
far hick that she leat quite in the
sliadow, Patience jWilson sat and
listened to the orgep's music.
As the last noteaLdied away anoth
er.woman in the simple garb of a
Quakeress entered the opposite aide
of St. John's and sat dow ► in the
shadow likewise. Studying.- those
two faces, one could not but be struck
with, their resemblance. One had
listened to the the= music as if •her heart
and soul were drinking In the strains.
The, other listened to the sermon not
less eagerly or , latently. On -the
faces of both wit; the meek sadness
of self-renunciation with this differ
ence-one wag eelfrenunciation just
begun, the other • was self-renuncia
tion with the stamp of age Upon it.
After the sermon Patience Wilson
arose and went out.; She longed to
bear the -last chant, but she would
not for the world have Joh - tat:lane
Stip her there, At the same time the
plain woman in the opposite shadow
arose and, went out: On the, gravel
ed walk they cameiface to face.

woman. '

Rev. J. L. Crane; the chaplain of
the regiment of which General Grant
was the-colonel, Overt the following
interesting reminisbenms of his. pri
vate and military-character
Grant, he says, is about fife feet
ton inches in height, - rind will weigh
one hundred and forty or forty-ilve
*midi. He has a oottitenanee indi
cative of reserve and an indomitable
will, and persistentossr.
In dress he is lad and care
less, making no pretemdokw to at
or fashionable military display.
he continued colonel 'till now, I think •
his uniform would have lasted till this
day ; for he never used it except on •
dress parade, and- then seemed to
regard it a good deal as David did
Saul's armor.
"His body is a vial of intelee

He is always cheerful. No toil,
Cold, heat, hunger, fatigue,
or want
of money depresses him. He does
his work at the time, and hexequires
all under hitrctommand to be equity
proMpt. I was _walking over the
camp with him one morning after
breakfast. It was usual for each
company to call the - roll at - a given
hour. It wae probably a big hoer
after the time for -that duty. The
colonel was quietly smoking his old
meerschaum and talking and walk
ing along, when he noticed a compa
ny drawn up in liner and the roll being
-called. He instantly drew his pipe
from'his mouth and exclaimed, "asp.-
tale, this is no time for calling the
roll. Order your men to.their quer
ters immediately." The command
was instantly obeyed, and the colonel
resumed his smoking and walked on,
conversing as quietly as if nothing
had happened. For this violation of
discipline those men went without
rations that day, except what they
gathered up privately frdm aneang
their friends of other companies,,
-
Such a breach of order was wirer
witnessed in, the regiment afterward
while he was its colonel. Thisprompt
nese is one of Grant's characteristics,
and it is one of the secret* of his
success,
On ohe of our' marches, when psis ,
big through onerof those small towns
where the grocery Is the principal
establishment, some of the loVela .of
had-broken away from
our lines and - filled their canteens
with whiskey, and were 400 n reeling

its influence.' _-
While apparently stopping the regi
ment- for rest; Grant passed quietly
along and took each canteen, and
wherever he detected the fatal odor,
emptied the liquor on the greind
with as much nonchaknce as he wo'd
empty his pipe, and had the offenders
tied behind the baggage wagons till
they had sobered into soldierly . pro- .
priety, On this point his orders were
imperative no whiskey .nor intoxi
cating beverages were allowed in his .
camp.
In the afternoon of a ve7 hot day
in July, 1801, while the regiment was
stationed in the town of Mexioo, Mo.,'
I had gone to the cars as they were
passing, and procured the4aily pa—
per, and seated- myself in the shadow
of thy tent to . read the' neirs:' In the '
telegraphic column I soon mime to
'the announcement, that Grant, with
several others, 'was made brigadier
general. In a few minutes he came -
walking that way, and I called to
him : • _
.
" Colonel, I have . some Dews here
that will interest you." • .
" What have you, chaplain I" '
"I see that you are made brigadier
general."
He seated himself by my side and
remarked : .
"Well, sir, I had no suspicion of it,
It never came from sny_request of
ine. That's some of Washburse's
work I knew Washburn in Oakes.
He was
.s strong Republican, and I
was a Democrat, and I thought from
that he nevei liked me very well,—
Hence we never had more than •
heftiness or street acquaints:we. Hut
when the war broke oat I found he
had induced Gov. Yates to iimint
me mustering officer of the Illinois
volunteers, and after that had some
thing to do in having me izurunksion•
ed colonel of the 21st regiment ; and
1 suppose this is some of his work."
And he very leisurely rose Op and
pulled his black felt hat a little near
er to his eyes, and made a few extra
passes at his whiskers, and walked
away with as much apparent amen- -
cern as if some ono had merely told
him that ! his now suit of, elcrthes was
finished. : 1 - -
Grant belongs \te no churah,_ yet be

esteem for all the enterprises that
tend to promote religion. When at

was colonel of the.2lsl regiment, he
gave every encouragement and facil
ity for securing a prompt and Uniform
observance, of religious services, and
wairfound in the audience listening
to preaching, 1.
Shortly after ; 1 came into the regi
ment ourmesowere oie day taking
their usual . seats around the dieser
table, when he remarked :
" Chaplain, *hex! I was at borne,
and ministerswere - stopOng at my
