It was dreary work cuttin'r carnot- racs nicht after niclit. with her boy awav in tiie array, and lone lists of killed and wounded filling the newspa pers, hlielind cut unAlvin's little coat It was the first coat he over had, and she remembered how nrouil lie Jiatl been of the buttons and pockets, and it wont to lior lieart to shred it into slits. Tho room where Patience Failing sat was very small and humble. It was the first, room sbe had furnished with things eked out and scraped together by the hardest toil. For more than twenty years she had lived in the old dilapidated gray farmhouse, in a narrow round of duties, centering at the cradle of her child, and later about the bed of her sick husband; and yet she had tasted keenly most of the joys and sorrows that belong to woman's lot. Her sphere had never seemed mean or inadequate to herself, for holding her child in lierarms she felt that she possessed all the dig nity and honor earth has to bestow. Uut the tears would drop sometimes now, as Patience sat alone at her work, in the slender ray of the caudle. There were vine shadows where the row of potted plants had been, for it was spring, and the geraniums and heliotropes were out in the little door yard beds, and she rested in the longer twilight, and lived over the life falie had led first as wife, then as mother, afterwards as a lonely widow with her boy at tho war. Pa tience had always lived in others. It seemed as though her heart had no sep arate action of its own, and received its pulsations from the beating hearts of those she loved. "When "Washington was threatened. and danger menaced the frontier, Alvin had grown moody at home because she opposed Ids wish to join the volunteers. It was the dark hour of her country's lieril, and Patience had wrestled and struggled and prayed until she gained strength to let her boy go out of her arms, hue nad given tier ewe lamb; sue sat alone. Her farm consisted of a few acres of rather stony land that lay close to the house where she lived. Her husband had been a cooicr, working at tubs and barrels off and on the busy time of the year, and Alvin had learned the trade too: but the little shop was closed now: ana the fields were let out on shares, and ever since he marched away in the coat of army blue, her boy had sent back his tiay to tne widow, and tier cruse and lasket were never empty. Her neigh bors were very kind. Abiali "Williams, who lived on the next place, had banked up her house in the fail, and dug and stored her winter vegetables, and in the spring, as soon as the ground grew mel low, hecamewith his ox-team to plough her garden. By carpet making and odd bits of sewing, Patience was able to sup ply all her slender wants. 2ot a penny of her boy's earnings had ever been touched. That money was sacred. Pa tience had already spoken to Enoch Holbrook about putting it out at inter est. In the long winter evenings, when she only heard the slow tick of the clock in the comer, or the sough of the wind in the pine trees, her brain was busy with plans for her boy's future. Deacon Spicer brought the paper in every third day, after lie had slowly spelled it over for an hour or two at home. The news had traveled two or three hundred miles by rail and stage before it cams to her hand; but Patience watched for it with a beating heart. The account of a bloody battle generally drove her to bed witli a bad headache, caused by the harder aching of her mother heart. Rachel's svmnntlnoa wero mainly on the mother's side: she .1!., ..... . 1 . T 1 - . . . . . . . uiu nui, iiimh. o uiucii oi tne stricken wives or desolate young maidens mourn ing over their dead. She had one of tnose intense but narrow natures which Puritanism develops, with little imagi nation, but strong and fervent feelings. Her mind was so deeply religious that the whole of life was invested with a sort of sacred ardor; even her joy found expression, in some grand old covenan ter's hymn, that seemed to fill the pauses of the wind in the forest grove near at hand. Patience had looked forward manv times to the possible harm that micht come to Alvin. She had thought of ner juucJtuetHj mat pernaps niigiit end only with the grave; and how in some distant autumn day when the crickets were chirping in'the stubble, she might feel glud that she had plucked out her heart and Riven it to Uod. re- niomberlng that he who would have his lire must lose it. Hut there were other davs when a so ber gladness colored her mood, and the suunnie old nymns mat told ofpersecu lion and victory over death came rolling out on ner ncit voice. Then it was casy forhcr to believe that Alvin would be spared, and she thought of his Iiome comiugas of a second birth, when the Lord would again put him into herarius as a free gift. "With her deep heart, that took such eager hold of what it loved, kindling and warming as it held, she pictured the life that they would lead together, and slowly pieced out a fvniT of exquisite kind in that little lorVt111 rooni' wllerc a11 his rownot t'm itsu,f- A certain nar Uoii of t?r sion' 118 weH as t,ie absorp LHna to ww' m(l,,eltience almost the man were c vtousK t Cl" (1 s,,d thought, HeiniKht n, blen.tf 1,1 her time, but he was bird v i Wlfe some Ther'e would brtKnoffiS n P fcH that years hence. tuoufi o think of Beyond the pine grove stood i. farinnousc, and there l?ved Sii1 daughter Huldah, who had been a ?8 child, but had grown into " love " young woman, with a soft voice, and urown eves, aim loner laslios. when downcast, rested upon a pearlv check. Some rumor about Alvin and Huldah had come to the ears of Pa tience, but she blew it away like a feather floating in the air. Dier Ray's wife, she thought, wasa talkingwotnan, not malicious or bad hearted, hut foolish abouthor girl; so she avoided going to the farmhouse oeyona incinii. wnoiuirs. Ray reached over in meeting to shake Jiauds, with Human loc-Kiug tiown irom the singer's seat, in her pretty straw bonnet trimmed with pink ribbons, Pa tience met the overture rather coldly; still she was obliged to confess that the sweetest voice which rose above Dea con Spiccr's wheezy bass viol, was Hul dah itays. Once when Patience was sick with rheumatism and Huldah came to oiler her services, bringing a loaf of her mother's snow white bread done up in the cleanest of towels, she had turned her face to the wall, and spoken but a few words in a rather repellent tone. Then if any one had peeped under the urim oi tne little brown hat as sue went off tho -stoop, they would have seen a dimness about Huldah's lashes. There wero things which the neighbors sus pected, if they did not know for certain, and there were things which IXacon Knicer. bolnrr postmaster, thought ne Knew, lor he peered at every letter inai came in the lean mail-bag irom jngti lands. Rachel was blind, but her hlindnesss had both jiathos and dignity. Such a tall, straight, large-eyed woman could not be easily approached by the gossips, so they left her alone with the music of the pine trees sighing around her lonely house, thinking of her hoy, getting him closer to her intense, strong heart, and skipping all the interval, and living in tho time of his return when they should grow each to the other as the acorn crrows to its cup. It was a leafy, blossomy day in May when the lilacs were out, and tho snow balls were beginning to bleach, and birds trilled in tiio boughs, and the sky softened over tho young woods. The great parti-colored balls of carpet-work lay at Patience's feet, and the Bible, with its worn, leather covers open at the family record, and date of her boy's birth, was placed on the stand by her side. With Ills dry, peculiar ahem! and the shufile and stumble by which lie was wont to mount tho steps, Dea con Spicer got upon the stoop, and pushed at the half-open door, lie was a shambling old man, dressed in a bag gy suit of butternut brown, that seemed to have been cut by accident. "Uood day, widder, good day." I here was a half-tremble in the old man's voice, that made Patience involuntarily ask, "What is it?" as the work dropped from her hands. Xow don't." said the old man, in a coaxing tone, as lie reached out and al most touched her gray hair, "uood news never killed anybody as I've heard tell of, and I guess you am stand tills." lie fumbled in his capacious pockets, iu an aimless sort of way; but every heart beat seemed a century to I'attencc. "You see there was a scrimmage t'other dav. and Alvin run right into tho mess, just like such a hair-braiued youug fel ler; ne must nave nt witn an ins migm and main. You see the Cap'n lie has went home, and Alvin has got promoted for gallantry.

Ull Ilia clllUt UI1U illCJ IIIIU t UIO charce. and I shouldn't a mite wonder if he was home here by to-morrow." , Patience turned upon him trembling and pale to the lips. "You are not deceiving me," she gasped; "my boy lias not beeu- snot 7" "Deceiving of you, widder? "Why, no," responded the old man in extreme astonishment; "D'ye supyose I'd have the face to show myself here? Any thing unfortunate that way would stick in my throat, and choke me to death. I tell you lie's on his way home, and iu a fortnight will be ns hearty as ever he was in ids life." It was indeed true; and Patience put her hands before her face as if the bliss comintr so suddenly, was almost too much to bear. The old man wandered on. "I mistrust there's somebody else j and sobs would not let her speak. IIul ovcr the hill yonder will be glad to get ' dah turned in confusion, and was waik tlienews." ButPatlcncescarcely heard , ing away; but iu a moment Patience him when lie took his leave. She sat there in the red light of sunset, with tremulous shadows spotting the coarse blaster wall, her bosom lieavinsr. her eves dilatimr. a slad vournr look clow- ing in her face. She was dreaming of heart as my hoy lias. I thank God for the time when Alvin was a baby; now , two good children instead of one." lie played around her chair, and plucked Huldah 1ml her bashful face, but Al at her gown, breaking out into bursts of ; vin was beaming with delight, infantile glee. And now he was coming I "There," cried lie, what did I tell you? home, a tali young soldier, and would I "Why, mother, she was actually afraid kneel down at her feet, and put his head that you would never giveyourconsent. in her lap as he Iiad done a hundred Hut 1 told her you would love anybody times. She could almost feel her fingers I loved; and you could not help loving in ins crisp, curly locks touching his i forchetul, and caressing his check. And she sat there in a blissful dream until it grewdark, quite forgetting she had gone without her supper. That night Patience scarcely slept at all for joy. She was up betimes in the pale dawn to busy herself getting ready for the home-coming of Alvin. She swept and dusted the old house. She could almost seo tho grass grow where the motherly hunches of purple lilacs pusiieu into Aivm's utile room winnow. vcrything had been keptsacredly, just as he lert it, the fishing tackle on the wall, the few books on theirswinir-shelf. tne empty squirrei-eagc on lis nail, and even an old tattered straw hat hanging beside it. There was cookery to busy Patience's hands: she remembered all her boy's likings, the seed cookies and favorite pics, llut when these were despatched a great margin of time re mained, and Patience was too unquiet witli happiness to sit down to any work iu the house. Sho went out into the piue grove, where tho tassels on the old trees all wore a fresh, new green; the housitouia and wild columbine were blowing at her feet; and sho could not help lilting up her voice in a deep, glad chant, "the Lord has been my dwelling place iu all generations." The path led a quarter of a mile be yond the grove, through leafy copses, where the dogwood here and there had pitched its snowy tent, on u hanging bank, above the highway. Patience wandered on until she gained a look-out through the houghs, down the road that wound uuder elms and maples. It was a pretty sjwt, full of tremulous green light from the young leaves, and musi cal witli the song of birds. There Pa tience sat on theiuoss.waitingshc could not telBtiow long, such sweet fantasies filled her brain and spun themselves be fore her eyes. At length there came a faint murmur of voices, and witli her heart lluttcring, she parted the branches, and ieered out. Two persons were coming slowly along the path, through spotted shadows and sun gleams, wholly absorbed in eacli other. The young man was tall, with a tanned, gaunt face, beaming now witli a look that made it handsome. He was dressed in the faded blue of the army, and carried one arm iu a sling. His companion, n young girl as sweet and pure as a rose bud, walked by his side. She had taken oil her little brown hat and was letting it swing by the ribbon string. Her great, wondering, innocent eyes were raised to his; a faint pink had fluttered into her cheeks, naturally pale; the mczc was ""tangling the braids of her nair m unv rings ana curls. The young man had hold of one of her hands ,,,"las Pressing tho sky finger-tips to his lip. They mused a little niiror 2 .

It was her boy's voice. Patience knew the catrer. frank tones. She had carried him in her bosom as a baby; she had worked and saved for him: she had lain awake nights to pray for him; through lonely months she had lived on the thought of his coming back; and now in the first hour of his return, he thought only of this girl, who never bore a pang for his sake. He had gone first to her, and put his mother into the second place! Patience would have moaned, but she restrained herself; she took hold of a sannlinc that crow near, and uncon sciously crushed a clump of ferns tinder her hand. Huldah was speaking now: "I must turn back, Alvin," saul she timidly, "for I am half-frightened at the thought of meeting your mother. I have tried to make her love me since vou went awav: hut she is always cold. If I go to see her she never asks me to come again. I have a presentiment she will never consent to give me a dauglt tcr's'placc." "You are trembling like aliltle scared bird," said Alvin, with a ngnt laugi "Do you suppose my mother is such a bugbear? Why, she is just the dearest woman in the world; and she is so fond of mo that she will have to love you, Huldah, for my sake. I shall tell her all about it to-nizht. I meant to have told her before I went away; but you, timid little goose, wouldn't let me. Come on up to the old hickory tree there by the orchard, and I will let you go back." They moved past, and Patience could moan now. She sat there among the brakes on the hill-side, witli her face bent down to ner Knees, in tne long, one kind of loss that could come to her through her boy; for a moment she felt that it would have been easier to bear if he had been brought home feet foremost into the old red larmhousc. Jio would have been a blessed memory then, and all her own; there are moments when it seems less heart-rending to give our beloved up in dcatli than in life. Pa tience rose to her feet instantly, and as she did so the baser part of her self-hood dropped off. She felt her way down the bank by the tree trunks and bushes, and a new world of reflection was opened to her mind. For the first time it struck her as right and natural that Alvin should have this beautiful experience. There had been no great blossoming time in her life; she had married late, with respect and liking, but all tho pas sion and romance of her being had come through motherhood. She was old; she had not thought of tho intoxicating draught given young souls to drink, nor the bliss whicli narrows the world over again, to a single pair, and makes a new .

Patience smiled faintly, but a sort of giddiness seized her limbs. Ho never would know what that sweet consent had cost; there lies the pathos of many a sacrifice. "Why, mother, what ails you?" Al vin asked in alarm. "O, nothing," she answered; "only I am getting old." "Xonsensc," exclaimed Alvin, "you are wortli more than half the young women in tne country; you have been over-doing, and now you must rest, and , be taken care of." He put his arm around her, and she drew Huldah's I nanii tnrougu ner own, on the other I fide; thus they walked over the grass, sprinkled with white clover. Alvin was in high spirits, so clad to be back. witli much to tell of himself; Huldah was so quietly, supremely happy she could not speak a word: but Patience felt if sho could have faded out from be tween them they would scarcely have missed her. The house was just as she left it; but as she opened the door and heard the slow ticking of the clock, it seemed as though years not hours had passed since she went out so elate and glad. She sat down in her chair not the woman she had been. Her heart beat slower; her hair appeared to have turned from gray to white iu a single experience. She had passed the dividing ridge of life and was goingdown on the shady side. She stayed her head witli her hand, and whispered to herself, "not my will, but thine." Giving away hek Husijand. Mrs. .Stenhouse, iu her revelations respecting Mormonisiu, thus speaks of the effect produced upon her by her husband tak lug uuto himself a second wife: "The time lias at length arrived for us to go up to the Endowment House,' and there, at the altar, the first wife is expected to give proof of her faith in her religion by placing the hand of the new wife in that of her husband. She is asked tho question, by Urigham Young: 'Are you willing to give this woman to your husband, to be his law ful and wedded wife, for time and for all eternity? If you are you will mani fest it by placing her right hand in that of your" husband.' I did so. JJut what wonls can describe my feelings? Tho anguish of a whole life-time was crowded into that one single moment. I remember well that when I returned to my home that 'home' which was now to becomo so hateful to me, for his young wife was to live there my husband said to me: 'You have been very brave; but It is not so hard to do after all, is it?' He had seen me bear it so well that lie even supposed I was indilTercnt. So much for the penetra tion of man! For tho remainder of that day how I watched their looks and noted their every word! To me their tender notes were like daggers piercing me to the heart.
