XKII.1-. , , , . , That was an awful day m i the manufacturing village of Greenfield, Men with hungry, desperate eyes ran to and fro, and uttered ioartu. curses. Women, with arms raised so gaunt w ith Buffering that they j niighthavebmitliearnisol si.enres,f(jrce Te js powerless hut I am eneu ior ireau. ii-tiir iimuu-n, out of whose face want was stamp ing all that is fairest in childhood, followed at the heels of the men and women, echoing them. Others, scarcely less poor, yet with some fragments of lood left, barred their doors, and crouched in corners, dreading the coming of the angry, hungry, desperate uiub, whose hoarse roar sounded faintly in their cars. I And so the day wore on, and the J mob had done "no violence. And the sun went down, and the moon I rose in peaceful majesty, and show ed the "faces of starving men and women a great deal more ghastly in its ghostly light Then one with eyes like lire, stood out from the crowd, and uttered words that feil on the heart and brain like burning brands, and cried at length, "To the mansion! to the mansion !'' ami his words were echoed in a great r:tr by the mob, "To the mansion! the mansion !" The mansion was the home of j tern Michael Cathers, owner of the town mills. There he lived with his daughter Helen, a fair Inured, blue-eyed girl whom all loved. Months before, unable to obtain or ders, for his goods, he had closed his mill, and live hundred men and women had been thrown out of work. 'With all his unyielding sternness when opposed, he had been a fair, and, at times, a kind master, aud they bore patiently. Heaven knows the poor are patient! hut the time had come, at last, when their little savings were spent, and men, women and children cicd for bread; not .for plenty, but just enough to keep life within their starving frames. Lut it came not Who could be patient then? Not one of us ! Thus it was the' rose at last and was as restless as a sea. liut time had gone hard with Michael Cathers, too. In his stern pride he would keep it from the world to the lat ; and only father and daughter knew the mill owner was insolvent Men had failed on him even-where, and it was only a matter of time as to when his name e hould be among the list of bank rupts. His daughter Helen was of age, and, through the will of a deceased relative, rich ; but her father in spite of her pleadings, had refused to touch a penny ot her money. They were sitting together, father and daughter, he bent and broken ; yet not so much so but he could have stood uncompromisingly, boldly, be fore.the world ; she sweetly helpful, like 6ome good angel ministering to him. The both waited for what the father had Baid would Je inevitable the coming of the mob. "Let them come' muttered Mi chael Cathers, grimly, and he point ed significantly to two revolvers on the table. I'.ut Helen pleaded with him and ior mem. "I have money, it is yours," she said. But he answered: "Force and threats have never moved Michael Cathers yet ; they shall not now." Ijong ere the crowd had readied the lawn, they heard its roar, which, sis it drew nearer, was "like the sound of many waters." Ruthlessly the feet of frenzied men and women train tied the flower beds. Though the moon was full, some carried torches, and, swinging them around, made lurid rings of liame. Michael Cathers stepped to the windww and looked out upon them. They howled at him and shouted : "Work or bread work or bread !"' The flickering light of their torches showed his face to them, set in stern defiance. Tho starving men and women were maddened by. the fcight, and one cried : "Michael Gathers, your life or bread!" Although he raised his hand to still them, his face was white with passion. The crowd silenced for a moment to hear him. With no tre mor in his voice he answred, fierce- "Neither my life nor bread! Starve you hounds starve !" Quickly he bowed the shutters. J ust in time, for against them beat a shower of tones. "The door! tiie door!" relied the mob, and strong men threw themselves against it, till the old mansion trembled. Helen had stood without moving or uttering a word through all this ; but now she was all determination and action. Her father had return ed to his chair. In each hand he held a revolver. He was seemingly unconscious of her presence, and did not even glance at her as she ftole to the door. She had resolved on what she thought the only course to pursue. Quickly she stepped out into the hall, loocked the door behind her. Her father, now aroused, cried : "Helen, come back !" For the first time in her lile she must disobey him.

And that baby! Was there ever such a baby since the flood ? "Its mother's eyes, its father's nosy, lis mamma's mouth, it's papa's toe V Why, if we dared to tell all that baby knew, all the concentrated wisdom in its face, people would laugh at us. It never, no never cried. Helen said so repeatedly, and certainly she knew all about it. Lut the merits, mental, physical and moral, of this baby cannot be enlarged upon, or a simple little storrwoulu swell to the dimensions of a" book. You may be sure the father and mother loved it as they loved eacli other and their lives; you must be sure the mother felt "that if time should come when she must bury the child, she would bury lier own heart with it. It was a beautiful spring da-. The prospect of a walk in the forest near the town had leen too great a temptation for the nurse girl. She disobeyed orders in going there with the baby. There were rumors fa roaming wild-cat ; two or three men claimed they had seen it The girl, though not knowing this, went deep into the forest, the baby in her arms. It was sunset. The suu was go ing down in that golden glory which has been the inspiration of poetry from all time, yet whose gorgeous coloring shall never fade one shade in its dream-like beauty, till time is more. Helen and her husband were seated on the v randa, and wonderinz what had become of nurse and the baby. Suddenly thev saw the cirl with white face running toward them, but the child was not in her arms. -Please, mum," she sobbed out, "I was a walkin' in the woods, when I seed a great cat, and I runned and it fullered. It would have killed both baby and me I know, but Jim Lawrence, him as lost his wife and child a month ago, steps up and meets it. I was so scared I left the baby on the ground and run." This, not a very lucid account at best, was so interrupted bv the girl's sobs, that father and mother under stood nothina more than that their child was in danger from a wild- cat. Helen did not scream or faint. As upon that night of danger five rears before, she was all action. She followed her husband as he rushed to the woods, pushing the girl be fore him that she might show him where the baby was lying. In what seemed to be an age to the agonized parents, but was in fact but a few minutes, they were upon the spot There lay the baby unhurt ; a littie distance off, the wild-cat, dead. Terribly wounded, James Law rence was stretched upon the ground, death stamjed on his face. From a wound in his breast (they could see it through his torn cloth ing) blood was flowing in a stream which no skill could stop. Moment by moment, swiftly and surely, it was- bearing his life away ; yet there was a smile upon his lips, and on his face a glow of expectation ex pectation of that which "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard." Husband and wife took each a hand of the dying man. "I am going to 6ee Jane and the boy." he murmured. "Oh!" gobbed Helen, "what cm we say to you, James, this hour?'' What a smile was upon his face as he answered : "You need say nothing; I have only paid a debt" "Do not say that, James Law recce. What debt do you owe me that vou ehould pay it with your life?" He asked Clem to raise him slightly that he might Jay his head upon her shoulder; t!ien he an swered her answered at one that leholds a vision.

The meeting t k place at a small house owned by a farmer named McLean, in a naked little parlor, containing a table and three chairs. "Grant," says Uadeau, "was met by Lee at the threshold. There was a narrow Lull and a naked little par lar containing a table and two or three chairs. Into this the liencrals entered, eac.s at first accompanied only by a single aide-de-camp, but as many as twenty National officers shortly" followed, including Sheri dan, Ord and the members of Grant's own staff. No rchcis entered the room jut L and Colonel Marshall, who acted as his secretary. "The two chiefs shook hands, and Iee at once began a conversation, for he appeared more embarrassed than his victor. He, as well as his aide-de-cam j), was elegantly dressed. Lee wore embroidered gauntlets and a burnished sword, tlu-gift, it is said, of the Suite of Virginia, while the uniform of Grant and those who ac companied him were soiled and worn ; some had slept in their boots for days, and Grant, when he start ed for Fannville two days before, had been riding around in camp without a sword. He had not since visited his headquarters, and there he was therefore at this moment without side arms. The contrast was singular, and Colonel Marshall was asked how it came about that his chief and he were so fine, while the National officers have been un able to keep themselves free from the stains of battle and the road. He replied that Sheridan had come upon them suddenly a day or two before, and they were obliged to sacrifice their headquarters' train, and as they could save but one suit of clothes each, hurriedly selected the best that he had, and so it was that at this junction Lee and his aide-de-camp were better dressed than the men who had pursued them. "Ie was tall, large in form, fine in person, handsome in feature, grave and dignified in bearing; if anything, a little too formal. There was a suggestion of effort in his dc- )ortment ; something that showed le was determined todiegracefully ; a hint of Cavsnr muflling himself in his mantle. Hut apart from this there was nothing to criticise. "Grant, as usual, was simple and composed, but with none of the grand air about him. No elation was visible in Lis manner or ap pearance His voice was as calm its ever, and his eye betrayed no emo tion. He spoke and acted as plain ly as he were transacting an ordina ry matter of business. No one would have suspected that he was about to receive the surrender of an army, or that one of the most terri ble wars of modern times had been brought to a triumphantclosebythc quiet man without a sword, who was conversing calmly but rather grimly with the elaborate gentleman in gray and gold. The conversation at first reiated to the meeting of the two soldiers in early rears in Mexi co, when Grant had been a subal tern and I.e a stiff officer of Scott. The rebel General, soon adverted to the object of the interview. "While Grant was writtins," con tinues JJadeau, "he chanced to look up at Lee, who sat nearly opposite, and that moment noticed the glit ter ot Jus sword, i lie fciirht suggest ed an alteration in tho terms, and he inserted tthe provision that ola cers should be allowed to retain their sidearms, horses and personal property. Lee had accepted Grant's conditions without this stipulation, and doubtless expected to surren der his sword. But this humilia- ition he and his gallanti officers j were spared When the terms were written out Grant handed the paper to his great Antagonist, who put on his sectacles to read them. He was evidently touched by their great clemenev. and especially by the in terpolation whi'di saved so much to the feelings of a soldier. He said at once that the conditions were magnanimous, and would have a very good effect upon his army. He then ;ittemriTei to ram a little more. iThe horses of his cavalry and artil lery, he said, were the property of the soldiers. Could these men be permitted to retain their animals? Grant said the terms would not al low this. Iee then took the paper again, and, glancing over it, said : 'No. You are right The terms do not allow it' Whereupon Grant re plied : "I believe the war is now over, and that the surrender of this army will be followed soon by that of all the others ; I know that the men and indeed the whole south are im poverished. I will not change the terms of the surrender, General Iee, but I will instruct my officers who receive the paroles to allow the cav alry and artillery men to retain their horse and take them home to work their little farms.' Lee again ex pressed his acknowledgments, and said this kindness would have the best possible effect" A Good Foundation. One of the greatest troubles of our people is weakness of the stomach.

Tho HoAtiiiaii'a Daughter, i In the memorable year 1 SI t, when the allied armies wore concentrated about P..ris, a young lieutenant of; dragoon? was engaged with three or I four Hungarians, who, after having' received several smart strokes from his sabre, managed to send a ball into his shoulder, to pierce his chest with a thru t from a lance, and to leave him fir dead on the bank of tho river. On the opposite side of tlio stream, a boatman and his daughter had been watching this unequal fight with tears ol desperation. But what could an old, unarmed man do, or a pretty girl of sixteen ? However, the old' soldier for such the boat- man was had no sooner seen tuc officer fall from his bores than he and his daughter rowed most vig or- ously for the other side. Ihen when they hail dejwsited the w ind ed man in their boat, these worthy people crossed the river again, but with faint hopes of reaching the military hospital in time. "You have been very hardly treat ed, my boy," said the old guards man to him ; "but here am I, who have cone farthen still, and have come home." j The silent and fixed attitude of Lieutenant S showed the ex-1 trenie agony of his pains ; aud the hardy boatman soon discovered; that the blood which was flowing internally from the wound on his left side would shortly terminate his existence. He turned to his youth ful daughter. ".Mary," he said, "you have heard me tell of my brother; he died of j just such a wound as this here. Well, now, had there been somebody J by to suck the hurt, his life would have been saved." The boatman then landed, and went to look for two or three sol diers to help him to carry the offi cer, leaving his daughter in charge of him. The girl looked at the suf ferer for a second or two. What was her emotion when she heard him sigh so deeply, not that he was re signing life in the first flower nf his age, but that he should die without a mother's kiss. "My mother! my dear, dear mother!" said he, "I die without" Her woman s heart told her what kc would have said. Her bosom heaved with sympathy, and her eyes ran over. 1 hen she remembered what her father had said ; she thought how her uncle's life might have been sav ed. In an instant, she tore open the officers coat, and the generous girl recalled him to life with her lips. Amid this holy occupation foot steps were heard, and the blushing heroine fled to the other end of the boat Judre of her father's surprise when he came up with two soldiers, and saw Lieutenant S , whom he expected to find dead, open his eyes and ask for his deliverer. " The boatman looked at his child and saw it all. The poor girl came to him with her head bent down. She was about to excuse herself, when her father, embracing her with enthusiasm, raised her spirits, and the officer thanked her in these prophetic words. "You have saved my life ; it be longs to you." After this she tended him and be came his nurse; nothing would he take but from her hand. No won der that with such a nurse he soon recovered. Mary was as pretty as she was good. Meanwhile Master Cupid, who is very busy in such cases, gave him another wound, and there was only one w.v to cure :t so very deep, it was. The boatman's daughter became Madame S . Her husband rose to be a lieuten ant-general, and the boatman's daughter became elegant and grace ful as any lady of the court of Louis Philippe. Promptly Snppreswil. More than a vear aio those who travel by the Woodward avenue car line entered into a solemn agree mGni not to mention the weather to each other when thry met on the car. No matter how hot or how cold it was no one was to 6peak of it, and each one was to infer that the other had brains enough to ex pect ten degrees below zero in January, and eighty-five above in August As a result of thi'3 agree ment a nuisance was abolished, and thousand of citizens put in a way to enjoy themselves as well as one can on a street car. Two weeks ago the organization was revived, and scores of new names added to the list, and up to yesterday noon the word "weather" had not been hinted at on any car on the line. At that hour a stranger entered the car at Adelaide street, and scarcely taken a seat when he said to a man across the aisle : "Nice little shower we have had." He was given a freezing look in reply, but he continued : "Curious that we don't have more thunder storms this Spring." One of the organization here pre sented him with an engraving of a coffin, but after a brief glance he continued: "Wonder if we are going to have a very dry Summer?" One more effort was made to save him. but he recklessly observed : "I'm buying a place up here, and shall use this line four times per day. Did any of you gentleman observe how the thermometer stood ?" The car was stonned and he was taken off and impaled on the top of eome iron pickets, no one even troubling himself to take down his dying words to his wife.
