Home from the War.
Jiwt at the closo of tbe Revolution
ary War, tbore was seoa Boinewhoro
in one of the small towns of Central
MasfMwhuBctts, a ragged and foro-lorn-looking
soldier, coming up the
dusty street, lie looked about on
the corn fields taa soiling fur the liar-
Test t on the rich- bright patches of
heat for the uicklo, and on the
greon potatoe fields, with curious
eyes so, at least, thought Hr.
Tawno, who was walking loasurly be
hind liim, going home from the reap
ing to his supper. The latter was a
stout former, drossod in home-made
linen trousers, without suspendurs,
rest or coat Tho ragged soldier
stopped under the shade of a great
sugar-maple, and Mr. Towno, over
taking him, stopped also.
"Homo from tho war T" ho asked.
''Just out of the British clutches,"
replied the man "I've been a prison
er for years. Can yoa tell me who
lives in the next house t Is it yoursT"
"No," replied Towne, "Tomkins lives
there. That house and barn used to
belong to a oomrado . of yours, as I
suppose i bis name was Jones, but
he waa shot at Bunker HilL and his
widow married again."
The soldier leaned against a tree.
'What kind of ft mania .he! I
mean what kind of people are they 1
Would they be likely to let ft poor
soldier have something to eat 1"
"ItTomkina la out yon will be
treated first-rato. Mrs. Tomkini is
a nice woman, but he is tho anarliest
cur that ever gnawed a bone. He is
a terrible surly neighbor, and he
leads her a dog's life. She missed
it marrying that fellow i but you see
she had a hard time of it with the
form after Jones went of soldering,
and when, my son came book and
said he was dead he saw him bleed
ing to death on the) battle-field he
broke right down, and this Tomldns
came along and got in to work for
her and he hud himself out to do
first-rate. He somehow got on the
blind aide of all of us, and when he
offered himself to her, I advised her
to have him, and I am sorry I did it
You had better come home with
me. I always have bite for any
poor fellow that's fought for his
country."
"Thank you kindly," returned the
soldier but Mrs. is a distant a sort
of old acquaintance. The fact is I
used to know her first husband and
I guess I will call there." .
Mr. Towne watched him aa he
wont to tho door and knocked, and
saw that ho waa admitted by Mrs.
Tomkins, "Some old sweetheart of
hers, maybe-" said Mr. Towns, nod
ding to hitnselt. ; "Ho comes too

rVf to hoenow." Then Mr. Towno
went on to supper, wo will go in
with tho soldier.
"Could 'you give a poor soldier ft
mouthful to eat 1" . he asked of the
pale and nervous woman who opon
ed the door.
."My husband docs not allow me
to give any thing to travelers," she
said, "but I always foci for the sol
diers coming back, and I'll give you
some supper, if you will not, be long
about it," and sho wiped her eyes
with her blue check apron, and sot
with alacrity about providing re-1
frenhments for the poof man, who
had thrown himaclf in the nearest
chair, and with his hood loaning on
his breant, sonmod too tired even to
remove his hat from h'is toco.
"I am glad to have you eatMid I
would not hurry you for any thing,"
she said, in a frighted way i "but
you'll eat quick, won't you f for I
expect every momont ho will be in."
The man drew his chair to tho ta
ble, keeping his hut on his hood, as
though ho bolongod to the Society of
Friends i but that could not ho, for
the "Friends" do not go to the wars.
He ato hearty of tho brcu l and but
ter and cold moat and oh, how long
ho was about it I
Mrs. Tomkins fidgntod. "Diar
me, Bbo said to herself, "if ho only,
knew, ho wouldn't bo so cruol oh to
let Tomkins come in and catch him
horo." " Sho went and lookod from
tho window uneasily, but tho soMior,
gave no token of his luoul coining
to an end.
"Now ho is pouring vinegar on tho
cold cabbago and potatoos. I can't'
ask him to toko thoso away in his
hand. O, dear, how slow he is 1 has
the man no teeth T" At List she
said, mildly, "I am very sorry to
hurry you, sir, but could you not lot
me sproad soino broad and butter,
and cut some slices of moat to tuko
away with you T My hunbaud will
use abusive laii'ruao to you if ho
finds you horo."
Before tho soldier could reply, foot
steps wero heard on tho door stone
at tho bock door, and a man ontcrod.
Ho stoppod short, and looked at the
soldior as a savage dog mi"ht look.
Then ho broke out in a tono butweon
a savago growl and a roar
"IIey-d(y, Molly, a pretty piece of
busiuessl "Whul havo I told you.
time and again, madam 1 You'll
find you had better mind your mas
ter. And you, you lazy, thioving
vagabond, let mo boo you clear out
of my houso and oft my land a good
deal quicker than you came on the
premises."
" i our houso I and your land 1
oxclaimod tho soldier, starting sud
denly up, erect and toll, and dashing
off his hat with a quick, fiory gos
tiire. nis eyes flashed with indigna
tion OS ho confronted tho astoninhod
Tomkins. Tho latter was afraid of
him, and his wifo had given a sudden
shriek when the soldior first started
to his feet and flung off his hat, and
had sunk trembling and half fainting
in a choir, for sho rooognizod him ,
"You ha'n't any business to inter
fere between me and my wife," said
Tompkins, cowed by the attitudo of
tho soldier.
"Jour wife 1" exclaimed the sol
dier, with tho very concentration of
contempt expressed in his voice, and
pointing to him with aa indignant
finger.
"Who are you 1" asked Tomkins,
with an air of effrontery.
"I am Harry Jones, since yoa ask,"
replied tho soldior, . "the owner of
Una house and this land, which you
will leave this very hour I As for
Molly," softening his tone as he
turned to tho woman, now sobbing
hysterically, "aha shall choose bo-
tweenus. '
"0, Harry ! Bobbed she, while
Tomkins stood dumb with astonish
ment," take me, save mo 1"
With a step ho was at her side,
holding her in his arms. What
do yoa mean, treating this poor
child so f Did yoa think because
sAe had no earthly protector that
there was not ft Ood in Hoavon
against yoa f , .,-
No.manwhois cruel to a woman
is ever truly bravo, and Tomkins
slunk away like a beaten ShainieL
Ths next day had not passed away
before every body in the town knew
that Harry Jones had come home
alive and weu, to rescue his much
enduring, patient wife from a worse
constraint than that of ft British pn
Bon i but what they all said, end
what Molly felt, I must leave yoa to
imagine, lor her taa legend ends.
