C. N. DEA VER
The sun had almost lett the eastern_witt,
dow of .Mrs. Grey's kitchen as she eat oa a
low seat, with a willow basket on the floor
beside her, patiently assorting a huge pile of
carpet rage, and putting the pieces of red,
yellow, blue and black in separate heaps,
ready to be tied up in bundles. On the floor
sat the two-year old baby, watching the pro
eeediogs with great interest, and sometimes
working away as busily as mamma herself,
but whose tiny fingers were, unfortunately;
more of a hindrance than a help. Over the
fire the kettle and dinner•pot were boiling
briskly' while from the even a savory odor is
sued forth of the good things within.
As the forenoon waned, lire. Grey glanced
anxiously et the dock, from time to time, but
kept steadily at work, overseeing the cook
ing of the dinner at the same titne. A look
'of satisfaction rested on her couotenanoe as
the great pile of rags gradually diminished
ifil - size and finally disappeared, end the pie
ces of different colors were all ready to be
tied - up and put away.
'Just a quarter to twelve,' she said to her
self. shall have time to pat these away,
set the table, and have dinner precisely at
twelve.'
.-,This fad been a busy forenoon with Mrs.
- Sleep. She had risen earlier than usual, had
4300t/sled her household duties with more
g:usual dispatch, and by a good deal of
.calculation bad gained an hour for this
tk. As every moment counts where the
iterk of a family is to bo dane by one pair of
'eads, she thought that a little eau& effort
in making a carpet would save a vast deal of
time now spent in serubbieg and cleaning,
and then too, the room would look so much
more tasteful and pleasant.. So it was with
meet satisfaction that she looked upon her
morning's work, as beiog the first step to•
ward such 'a desirable end.
But just as she rose' from her seat she
looked out of . the window and saw . her hus
band coming up the path to the house.,
'O, dear; said she, 'Henry has come, and
dinner is not ready. Whet shall Ido ?'
Now, to most wives the coming of the bus
baud a low moments before dinner is not a
matter of Bach fearful import 'as to cause a
disarrangement of the whole household coon
my, bat Mr. Grey always expected dinner
to be ready at the moment of his coming,
whether before or after the usual hour, and

So she honied to the stove, lifted the
heavy dinner-pots, somewhat (thanked their
places that they might boil faster, snd gave

way, was all unnecessary, for • the fire was
burning before just as brilt h tly s uit could,
and the dingier was alreitly cooked ; then
hastily brushing the earpot-rags all .up to

and rushed with it into the bed room. Lit

as she passed, and her mother 'being in too

FRANKLIN PUNTI, PENNSYLVANIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 9, 1871.
Mr Grey's stern features ieliied a little
as he looked over the table. hlverything was
just right, and had evidently been cooked
with a view to pleasing his own particular
appetite. The roast beef was juicy and ten
der, the potatoes white and mealy, the fra.
grant coffee, light, spongy braad and golden
butter could not well be improved, while his
favorite apple•puddiog had turs)cd oaf a per
fect success. A good dinner naturally puts
one in a good humor with one's self and the
wotld generally; thus it was with Mr Grey.
-He was disposed to be quite social and com
municative, and to chat about the little af.
fairs that had taken place during the fore

Airs. Grey still sat by the table With a
weary, desponding look on her countenance
that would pain yotrto *how. The tide of
angry feelings bad rolled away, and now the
poor, tired heart ached for sympathy; for a
word, a look of' tenderness and love; and un- .
,bided tears streamed down her cheeks. Long,
long she sobbed, but gradually the intensity
of her teenage, wore away, and she became
calmer. Then her woman's heart pleaded
for her husband, and 'sbe 'Henry is not
ea considerate as some, but he doesn't' mean
to be unkind,' and elle tried to forget self in
the absorbing interest in whet she felt to be
_her life-work; but still the little ineidint of

my hand at 'seven up' At fitit I refused
but being unchecked by some influenees and
exposed to all the desires of my eorrupt heart,
I gambled and plunged into all kinds of

sine would fill a large volume. Finally, af...
ter one of my times, I !tent to Ilinesburg

I had listened to my mother's pleading voice,

to restrain me by kindness, urging me to ab-
stain from the sins I was committing daily.
This was Thursday, my mother gave this
advice, and I went from her arms with a kiss
on my lips, plunging into all sorts of crime
and sin, and on Saturday of the same week
eqininitted the orime, so great, that it will
leairi a stain on the land forever, and when
committed broke the heart of my mother and
hung millstones around the necks of my
friends, and robbed them of all joy and cont•
fort on earth, And only think, I, Henry
Welooine at the age of 19 years, placed in
this horrible situation !
To—morrow, I shall stiffer the sentence of
death. I think, my friends, this is a held

this respect it is lung Glace bush sufferings
have beer inflicted, evea in war. But such
horrible seenea.as 'viers described by 'A Mil
itary Correspondent' are but too probable :in
such operations as the Army of the Loire Las

11.1' .1 : , , •
in the course of the present month. That
army has been executing a continuous 'stra
tegic movement' of retreat; and fighting al
most Continuous battles during some of the
severest weather of the. month, Both armies
have been strained to the uttermost, and
hive had no time to look behind them. The
horrible consequences has been that the
-wounded-have-practically-bier,-left as un
eared for as the dead. They have in some
instances been gathered off.the field of battle,
though there mast be numbers who have
been left-to perish of void on the spot where
they fell. But . ever when carried under
shelter they have simply been beeped togeth
er in uninhabited houses, and have , some
times lain there for days unattended, unfed,
and aimed uncovered. The scene at Being
,enny, described by Military Commend
fant,' is one even more horrible, bemuse, a
more prolonged scene of agony. In a house
which had ones been a Pension de Jenne*
• Fills., 'every room from collar to roof was
crowded with dead and etarvin men I:in
so thick it was impossible to move among
them. , It was Saturday, and many of them
had been there sines the Wednesday, some
since the Tuesday. All that time 'not one
drop of water, not one atom offood, had pees•
ed their lips,' nor had any comforting hied
approached thorn. If a broken legged ear
geant bad been able to throw his own eoat
over his more severely wounded officer that
was the utmost relief any of theehad obtain
ed. Moreover, the windows of the houses
were all broken, 'and all- these days and
- flights of almost Aretio cold they had been
lying on the bare floor with their wounds
undressed.' All the agodlea of wounds, et
cold, of hunger, and thirst, with all the hor-
rors of death, *ere endured for day. togeth•
et by these helpless sufferers. The battle,
in fact, had been raging for three days a
round &avouch neither side gaining such
until/Robed poesession of the town as to be
able to think of the wounded. Even an
deigned dily,German shells buret in . hoe

only ono dootor hi the team capable of per•
forming amputations, led there were 200'
desperately wounded into in one building
alone 'The dead lay thick among the dy

places were instantly filled.' Miserable ob.
jots, with broken jaws or faces half shot a
way, wandered about poiotios to their dread•
ful woods and making piteous signals for
water, which it was impossible for them to
swallow. Officers and men, veterans and
boys, all lay in one undilitingaishable mass
of misery. Every moan that the bumao voiee
can utter rose from that heap of agony.'—
