I've planted it firm, andU don't yield; no, it don't'. yicid % but the strata ia terrible. God grant it, may carj-y me into port; oh, Mr. Allan, say it will. It has seemed to me to-day so dark, so, wonderful, so IDSCEUtable,, that he—my Bea- nie ?—Mr. Allen, there U 4. good wise purpose behind it all, €a n yon see it V % \To bring you nearer the kingdom,' 1 Said the minister. u Oh, don't tell rao that; I can't hear It.— God is too wise; H e knows that a - hundred such souls tit mine arc not Worth t>ns of nty Bcnnie's. I can suffer if I am too grfeat a sin- ner for God's grace to save but Bennie! Beu- nie! I have sat here all. day, since the news , came wondering, wondering, he- was so <?ood a son,—and Mr. Owen's voice grew almost in- articulate in Its emotion,—when I gave him to his country, that not a father in all'this broad land made so precious a gift,—no, not one. God forgive me if my grief is a sin. Mr. Allan, tho dear boy only slept a minute, just one little minute, at hia post; I know that was all, for Bennie' never dozed over a duty. How re- liable and prompt he was!\ and Mr. Owen's eye wandered out over the t>rown fields with such a wondering perplexed look. \I know he only fell off one little second; he was so young, and not strong, that boy of mine I Why, he was as tall na I, and only eighteen! and now they shoot him because he wa3 found i asleep while doing sentinel duty. Mr. Owen | repeated these words very slosviy, aa If endcav- | oring to find out their meaning: \Twenty- j foui hours Where is Bennie now.\ j \We will hope with his Heavenly Father,\ j said Mr. Allan Boothingly. \Yes yes, let us hope; God is very merci- ; ful nnd Bennie was so good—I do not mean holy,\ he said correcting himself sharply; j \there is none holy—no not one,—but Jesus died for sinners. Mr. Allan tell me that. Oh, ! Hennic, Bennie.\ The mother raised herself as she heard his 1 name called, and, turning, said, with a smile: '•Don't call so loud, father. Bennio Is not far j off; he will come soon.\ I \God laid his hand on them both, you see,\ ( said Mr. Owen, pointing to her, without mak- I ing any direct reply. \She has not been justly ' herself since. It ia a merciful thing that she is sort of stunned, it seems to me; she makes no i wail. Poor mother ! if my heart was not bro- | ken it would almost kill me to see her so.— | Bennie was her idol.- I told her often God i had aaid, 'Thou shall have no gods before ! Mr. Allan looked in astonishment at the \ l>owcd man as he came now and stood before j him. These few hours had done the work of ! years. The sinewy frame was tottering, the I eyes were dimmed, and the sudden sorrow had written itself in deep wrinkles all over his man- ly face. He reroguized the power of the great kind heart, simple and almost childlike iu its innocent, clinging affection, how could this be reconciled with the stern, strong head—the head that tlie common observers outlined the man? \God have mercy on you; He is try- ing you in a furnace seven times heated,\ he exclaimed, almost involuntarily. \ l I should be ashamed, father!' he said, \when I am a man, to think, I never used this great right arm,'—and he held it out. so proudly before me—'for my country, when it needed it. Palsy it, rather than keep it at the tw o liotirs later the same young rirl stood at the Mill depot, Watching fhe comrfig.of the down to lift her .ia* ^rendered *» tkfi r*eet tear-stained face that ms uprated totne dim lantern ho held in hisI fcand. . A few questions oaA r#l y answers told him all, and ntf father ctfofd havo cared moire ten Uerly for his own child than he did for little Blossom. . • • •.-,.„• She was on 6er way to Washington, to ask \Uo Bennio, then go, go, my boy,\ I said, j tered the request. bad stolen *w*y. lowing only a not* fathor--where, and why, •*» had gdheu. -She ; had brought Bennle's letter with her; nogoed kind heart like the President's could reftise to be melted bj;it ..'. _ The next morning they reached New TorW, and the condnotor found suitable company for Blossom, and hurried her on. to Washington. Every minute, now, might beayear in her brother's life. And BO in an Incredible short time, Blossom reached the capitol and was hurried to the White House. The President had but just seated himself to his mdrning's task, of orerl<«>kmg and signing important paperts when, without & word-of announcement, tlio door softly opened, and Blossom, with eyes downcast and folded hands Btood before him. 44 Well, my child,\ h« said in his pleasant, cheery, tones, \what do you want so bright and early in the morning?\ 4( Bennie's life, please sir,\ faltered our Blos- som. 4 ' Benuie ? Who h Bennie V •• My brother, sir. They are going to shoot him for sleeping at lu'3 post.\ 41 Oh yes,\ and Mr. Lincoln ran his eye over the papors before him. 4 * I remember. It was a fatal sleep. You see, child, It was at a time of special danger. Thousands of lives might have been lost for his culpablo negli- gence.\ \So my father gald,\ said Blo^ora gravely, but poor Bennie was ao tired, 8ir, and Jemmy eo weak. He did the work of two, sir, and it was Jemmy's night not his, but Jemmy was too tired, and Bennie never thought about him- self that he was too tired. 44 What is this you say, child t come here, I don't understand,\ and the.kind man caught eagerly, as ever, at what seemed to be a justi- fication of an offence. Blossom went to him. Ho put his hand tenderly on her shoulder and turned op her pale, anxious face towards his. How tall he seemed, and he was President of the United Slates, too! A dim thought of this Wnd pas- sed for a moment through Blossoms' mind, but she told her story simple and straightforward, and handed Mr. Lincoln Bennie's letter to read. He rend it carefully, then taking up his pen wrote a few hasty lines, and rang his bell. Blossom heard this order given: \Send this dispatch at once.\ The President then turned to tho girl and said : \Go home, my child, and tell that fath- er of yours, who could approve his country's sentence, even when it took the life of a chile\ like that, Abraham Lincoln thinks the lifi far too precious to\ ho lost. Go back, or— wait until to morrow ; Bennie will need changi after he lias so bravely faced death, he shall go with you.\ \God bless you, sir,\ said Blossom; and ho shall doubt that Heaven heard and regii WtS?

He knew they hud been there since the telegram cninc. I Mr. Owen had read it in tho field, gone to tho ; hoime and forgotten them, and no one had ; d'iml to put them up. lie was a man fully i capable of taking eare of bis own affairs under ] any circumstances, never having been known before 1o forgot. Mr. Allan walked oa slowly toward the house. lie had known Mr. Owen for many yearn, nnd he knew him well. Indeed there wns a peculiar bond of sympathy between the men. in his iarge parish there was not one upon whom tho minister relied as he did upon this strong, sturdy farmer. Many and many an hour he had walked by his side when he was upturning the brown earth, and had dis- coursed with iiim on topics which would have sounded hurah and repulsive to common ears, but which were fraught with deep and vital interest to them. Mr. Owen was a direct de- scendant of the Puritans, and every drop of Uioud in his veins was tinged, with as strong and true a \blue\ as if he himself hud landed in tho Mayllower. He took naturally to the sterner doctrines of religion, while Mr. Allan, versed Iu all the modern love, questioned and doubled. The keystone of Mr. Owen's theolo- gy wus the sovereignty of God ; \Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?\ This was the man upon whom God had now laid his hand so heavily ; and Mr. Allan felt that if the trial brought no murmer, no rebellion against the mighlv Sovereign, tho stern old faith were indeed a rich one in which to live and die. He knew that one element in this war was Puritan. I Sons of the Northern army. They inarched to battle to strains of tho tunes that \had linger- ed on tho nursery and saucluary from tho day that Cromwell and hi» soldiers had chanted them on Mnrston Moor. All down the aisles i of time came I ramping to the music mailed I men, bearing on their sheilds the two words, j liberty and equality. They trembled on Mr. ! Owen's lips with his -mrling blessjjig to his j boy. Would ho veniembcv them, and would they comfort and give him strength now r \ Where there is affliction in the house the minister is at home. Mr. Allan entered with- out knocking, and made his way to the large, old fashioned kitchen in which.he was sure^of finding the ftunilv. There, by the table, with his arms folded unil laid heavily on it, nut Mr. Owen. His wife was in a small rocking-chair by the (ire, j and Woasoin, a young girl, sat between them. ) Mr. Owen nwe to welcome him; so did i Blossom; but the wife- did not notice him— ! she sal still, rocking herself to and fro, looking ! at flic blazing wood. Mr. Allan put a hand in the brawny one j that was held out to him, mid laid the other on j Mr. Owen's great heaving breast. \My friend,\ | he said, \how is it with'the decrees of God V ' \Just and true aro ;ill thy ways, thou King ] if Saints,\ fullered d God keep you. l God has kept him I think, Mr. AUan!\ and thf farmer repeated them; last words slowly, as if, in spite of his head, hia heart doubted them. \Like the apple of his eyu, Mr. Owes, doubt it not!\ Blossom had sat near them listening, with blanched check. She had not shed a tear to- day, and the terror in her face had been BO very still no one had noticed it. She Uad oc- cupied herself mechanically in the household cares, which her mother's condition devolved entirely upon her. Now she answered a gentle tapJJM»e kichen door, opening It to receive frollwsclghbor's hand a letter. ' 'It'a from him, '' was IUI she said, \ 'Twaa like a message from tho dead. Mr. Owen could not break the seal for his trem- bling fingers, and held it toward Mr. Allan, with the helplessness of a child. The minister opened it, and, obedient to a motion from the fjittior, read aa follows: ' 'Dear Father: When this reaches you I shall be in eternity. At first it seemed awful tome; but I have thought about it so much now that it has no terror. They say they will not bind me or blind me, but they will let me meet my fate like a man. I thought, father, it might be on tho battle field for my country, and that when I fell, it would be fighting glo- riously ; but to be shot down like a dog for near y betraying it, to die for neglect of duty! ; —oh, father, I wonder the very thought does I not kill me. But I shall not disgrace you. I j am going to write you all aboxit it, and v/hen I J am cojie, you may tell my comrades, I can't i now. ; - \ You know, I promised Jemmy Carr's moth- j nr I would look nfter her boy, and wheu he i fell sick, I did all I could for him.
