She scarcely anticipated his praise for her faithful ness to the lieutenant. ‘lt is cruel to cheat you longer, my noble Kate; there is no Lieut. Lisle, but Capt. Philip Lisle, your humble servant, faithful correspond en;i and devoted lover, stands before you."” ate's little shriek of delight, and gesture of thanksgiving, was pleasent and pretty for him to witness. “ And now,”’ asked he archly, ‘‘ can you give me my answer, can you tell me if you love me well epough, being both lieutenant and captain, to stand up before that worthy pastor of yours, and answer in the affirmaiive that all-important (ates answer was inaudable, but her mother guessed it readily enough, a8 she came gliding silently into the room, and laid a hand on each, uyi?}g, with a stifled sob, ‘‘God bless my children.”’ ‘ But, mamma,’’ began Kate eagerly, “‘you do not know—"" and PEuen she paused abruptly.

And a quiet wedding followed speedily, and Cousin Mary was there with her earnest congrat ulations and gentle %ym"path_y. ‘“Oh, Mary, dear Mary, it is half dueto you,” wh’izered the lovely bride; and then with a wistful quivering of the l?lp she added—‘‘How little you thought I should have such a precious gxgnt_o offer my country. I can do better now t sewing on the soldier's garment. I can give my husband's strong arm to wield the sword that shall lead his company on to battle. Oh, Mary, dear Mary, pray for me, that I have strength to yield him trustfully and bravely !’ But Kate was et‘,ua.l to the trying ordeal.— Thrasting down the sharp pang and rising sob, she, like many another loving wife, bade her beloved one God fid upon bis way, and calmed her anguish with the consoling cry, ¢lt is for my country. 1 tooam working for the righteous cause. I will bear lonliness, and dreariness, and bitter anxiety for my country’s sake, and God can save and preserve.”’ Her anxieties for her husbsnd’qmty are en ded now.
