THS UJWEUJOME GUEST.
In porerty and Mrtow,
la tore distrea and hune
A little cbild came hitber
WiUxout father' name.
The elements aronnd II"
Were warring Into ttlrfe.
War not one ray of gladneaa
. Lit op tne tranger'i life.
2nt lo t an ancel. paoslQs
Upon bia thlnin track,
Beheld tbe colored infant
And bore tbe tidings back.
Tbe mild and pitying Saviour,
That in a manger lay.
Sent down another angel
To take tbe cbild away.
That pale and silent messenger
Tbat cornea bnt once to all.
Who wears upon bis garment
Tbe abadow of a pall
He knelt beside tbe cradle,
And stooped above the child;
And lo 1 the aleeptng infant
Looked up and falatly smiled.
He kissed the 11m and forehead,
He boshed tbe babe to rest;
Then tenderly he bore him
Unto tbe Saviour's breast
Now king nor queen nor kaiser.
Though clothed In purple state.
Is worthy on tbat little child
In royal robe to wait.
But angels stand around him.
Who guard the undented.
For none in heaven Is greater
Than a ainleas little child.

IN THE RESERVE.
Ther tell me I ought to look upon it
as a duty mj husband's duty to his
country my duty to my husband; but
it is so hard, so very bard to bear, and at
times I canoot help railing against my
unhappy fate, and no-r-not wishing
that I had never wed, but often that
bad never been born.
Mine's no new story, but just the sim
ple old tale of a foolish girl who fell in
love with a soldier. I am older and
wiser now, but still use those words,
"fell in love with a soldier," weak as
they may sound to you, for I did fall in
love with my brave, true-hearted lad,
and though care and trouble have made
me older and wiser now, I love him bet
ter than ever, and if my time were to
oome over once more, I should fall in
love with him again.
Jack enlisted when he was very young,
the people taking him willingly enough
because he was such a sturdy, well-built
. fellow. He went off and enlisted in a
tiff, after a quarrel with his father, who
was a small tradesmlh in a country
town, where I was in service. Jack and
I had often laughed and chatted together
in boy and girl fashion, and when he
had quarreled with his father, ha came
to say "good-bye" to me, and told me
that he was going to enlist, and I re
member it all so well I laughed at him,
and told him not to be a goose, and he
gave me a curious sorrowful look, and
seemed as if he was going to say some
thing to me, but he only choked like,
turned sharply round, and went away.
As I said, I was very young and girl
ish then, and I had never thought more
of Jack than that he was a nice, bright,
merry lad, who always had a pleasant
word to say to me, and I went about my
business, thinking no more of the matter
till about a week afterward, when there
was a lot of talk in the town about how
Jack Forrester had enlisted, and that his
father was half-mad about it, and had
gene to Norwich to buy his son, off, but
that he had been so fierce and angry with
Jack that the lad had quarreled with him
again, and declared that he would never
eome home any more.
It was two years before I saw Jack
again, and it was one day when I was
Coing along the road. I had not for
gotten him, for from time to time people
talked about Jack, who had always been
a favorite in the town, and I had heard
of his having been sent with a draft to
Malta, but when we met I hardly knew
the fine, tall, broad-shouldered, bronzed
fellow with a great brown beard, and
though I started and half felt that I
knew who it was, I was ready to pass
him, with my heart beginning to flutter
in a curious, frightened way, but he
caught my hands in his, and stood
there, holding them tightly, and look
ing down in my faoe, speaking at last
in a very husky voice, as he said:
"At last, Mary, my darling! How I
have prayed to see this day."
I tried to laugh, xnd to say that I was
glad to see him again, and to tell him he
was very much changed, but the words
would not come, and I began to cry; for
he oould speak now, and quickly and
well, and he told me that he had been
nearly broken-hearted at having to leave
me, whom he loved with all his heart;
how he had thought of me - always dar
ing the years that he had been away,
and ended by looking at me so search
ingly, as he said:
"And have you been true to me, Mary,
all this time?"
"True to yov, Jack?" I said, simply.
"I don't know."
"Don't know?" he said passionately.
"Mary, my girl, have you the heart to
play with me now? "is is there any
one?"
"I there any one, Jack?" I said, re
peating the words.
"Yes, girl, tell me no, don't tell me
you love some one else. I couldn't bear
it."
"I don't love any one, Jack," I said,
feeling half frightened at his fierce,
quick way.
"And ycu don'tlove me?" he said, i
"No, Jack, I don't think I do," I said,
crying bitterly now; "but I always liked
you very much, and I'm very glad to see
you, Jack."
"Are you," he said joyfully. "Say
that again, dear?
"Say it again. Jack?"
I replied, look-
iog up in his eyes, and
feeling my weak
heart flutter very quickly now. "Of
coarse I am very glad to see you back
again, and you do look so different,
dressed in that red coat."
"Do t?' he whispeaed. "Ah, but I'm
sot a bit changed. Mary, darling, I loved
yon when I was a boy, but I love you a
thousand times more now that I am a
strong man."
"Do you, Jack?" I said, blushing, as
I walked by his side.
"Do I? Yes. Why, Mary, tbe thought
of your darling face has been my pro
tection ever since I went away. ' I
wouldn't drink more than was good for
me with the lads, for I said to myself,
what would Mary say?" J .
"Did you say that, Jack?" I said, feel
ing so pleasad, and with my heart beat
ing faster than ever."
"Indeed I did, and I wouldn't go into
any rough company, for I felt that you
would know if I did, and somehow the
thought of you, my darling, has kept mo
right and square, for I said I'd come
back to you, and show you that, how
ever people may run a soldier down, he
has got a heart, like other men; and I
had sworn that I would be true to you."
My head was in a whirl, and I wanted
to speak, but I could not, and then I
was vexed, for I felt that he would think
me silly and stupid, and all I could do
was to was to walk by his side right up
to our door, where he said "Goodby,"
holding me tightly by both my hands.
"I must go and see my father now,"
he said.
"What, haven't you seen him, ' Jack?"
"No. How could I go and see him
till I had seen the little girl who is all
the world to me? Now, goodby, dar
ling, I must see you again to-morrow."
He left me then, and 1 went in trem
bling, to run up to my room, and sob as
I had never sobbed before.
It was not that I was miserable, but I
felt so confused and strange, and my
thoushts seemed to be always with Jack,
and somehow I besran to think at last
that as he loved me so truly and so will,
I Buoftose that, though I had not known
it. I loved him. too.
Then I felt frightened and ashamed,
and wondered what would become of me
for being so bold, and at last, there it
was, I found myself thinking all day
long of the brave, true hearted fellow
who had loved me all these years, and
feeling angry with myself for thinking
so little of him before.
Ob, how bright and pleasant every
thing seemed to look from that day
forth, and how I used to sit and glow,
and feel happier than I had ever felt be
foro, when X thought about Jack loving
me so well.
- The future was nothing to me; I
could only think of the present, and a
hundred times a day I used to say to
myself: "Jack loves me, and I'll try to
love him, too.
An.it took no trying. My young
girlish heart leaped forth to meet him,
and all seemed happiness and joy tilL I
began to wake up to the truth of all
about me.
first, my mistress gave me a severe
talking to upon the imprudence of being I
seen talking so much to a common sol
dier, and I felt as if I could have said
bitter words to her for carting him
"common." Then came the next trou
ble, and that came from Jack one even
ing, and it was as he was walking home
with me from church.
"My furlough's nearly over, Mary,
dear," he said, "and I shall have to
go.'!
"Go?" I cried, and for the first time
my arms started up and clung to him.
"zes. my darling, he whispered, as
he held me to his heart, "I must go and
leave you. Father wants me to stay,
but I've served half my time, and I'll
do the rest, and come home like a man
as has done his duty, and then I shall be
in the reserve."
"But you'll you'll take me with you,
Jack?"
He didn't speak, but gave quite a sob
as he held me tigbtiy strained to nis
heart, and it was some time before the
words would come; but at last they did,
and he seemed cruel and as if he didn't
care for me, as he told me he love d me
too well to make me a soldier's wife.
"No, dear," he said, "the barracks
would be no place for you. My darling
must have a little home of her own. We
must wait."
" Wait, Jack? Ho w long?" I said .
He waited for a few minutes before he
spoke again, and then he said, "Five
years," and it sounded like a knell.
Bat five years soon pass by in a busy
life. Jack went away, and I felt half
broken-hearted, and thought him cruel
to go; bat I grew patient and hopeful.
He wrote to me regularly from all his
stations such simple, true, loving let
ters, that there was always something to
look forward to, and, as he used to say,
though ours was a long courting, he
would, after all, be only eight and
twenty, and me two years less, when he
came back, and that the time had taught
us to be fonder of each other, and the fu
ture would beall happiness and joy.
Aud so it was, in our humble way,
when he came back with his papers to
show that he had served his time and
was in the Beserve. Being a strong,
clever ieilow, ne soon got an engage
ment in the town, with thirty shillings
a wees, ills latner was dead now, or
he might have had something to do
with the business; but he did not seem
to mind. He had saved some money, so
bad I, and we furnished a little house,
and we were married.
Surely no woman was ever prouder of
her husband than I, and as I grew more
and more to understand his goodness of
heart and love, I began to be afraid of
the cloud that I now saw overshadowed
our lives. I had not noticed it at first,
but as I grew thoughtful and sat and
dreamed over my baby, I wondered what
1 should do if there happened to be a
war. The idea used to make me shud
der and tremble, wondering how it was
that I had never been thoughtful enough
te think of it before
"What, what's the matter, little
mother?" he said to me, playfully, one
day. "Wrinkles in your forehead and
wet eyes. . Has baby got tooth coming,
and are you afraid it won't come
through?"
"Oh, Jack, ,dear," I said, as I flung
myself sobbing into his arms, don't
laugh don't treat such things lightly.
1 nave been thinking."
"ThinkingI . What about?"
"Suppose there were to be a war and
vou were called out?"'
"Oh, nonsense, dear," he said. "Why,
that would only be when the country
was being drained, and every man would
have to do his duty and fight for it
"Country? Drained, Jack?" I said,
vacantly.
"ji course: when there was some tre
mendously big war only then. That's
what the reserve-, is for. Just to be-
there in reserve, you know, in case it
should be wanted."
"But will they be wanted soon, Jck?
"Wanted? No, my dear. Not likely.
Why, who are we to go to war with? Not
with the French, nor yet with Russia or
America, nor yet with Germany. Why,
the queen's daughter will some day be
empress there.
"Then you don't think there is any
danger, iacT
"Danger? No, my pet; and beside,
what soldier ever thinks about danger?
"Not about danger, Jack, dear, but
about leaving his wife and child."
"Hush! Don't, woman!" he cried, al
most fiercely. "I can t bear it
I never saw him look so strange before
as he did then, and it was days before he
appeared to get over it really. Then it
seemed to be forgotten ; bnt I know now

mans always nung over us oota HKe a
cloud, though we hid it one from the
other. The years went on, and we had
another and another little one, and
though we were no better off in money
matters, we were very happy, for a bet
ter husband, or one prouder of his chil
dren, never lived. "Neglect 'em, old
woman?" he used to say. "No, I hope
not. We've got 'em to take care of, and
so we will, as long as we can. WThen
we can t, they must buckle to and take
care of us." .
.Nothing was ever too hai d for him to
do; there was nothing in the way of work
that he would not undertake, and," from
being a well-drilled soldier, he did it in
such an orderly way that th'e townspeo
ple liked to get him to do odd jobs, and
this was very nioe, but the drawback
was that they kept him from doing any
thing better.
As I have said, the dread of his being
oalled out was always hanging over us
like a cloud, and when the Afghan war t
came, he used to get his paper and read
W w
out to me how the lads were getting on,
and quite flush up like, as he seemed to
grow excited over what was taking place,
my heart used to sink, and I've laid in
bed at night trembling an 1 in agony ie3t
he should be wanted again; but the good
news came at last of there being peace
once more, and it was then that I found
out how he had been thinking and read
ing about it himself.
"Hooray, old girl " he cried, "it's all
settled. -They won't call out the re
serves this time. I'm not afraid to go,
nor should I shrink from my duty as an
old soldier, but somehow it would come
hard, just now."
Then the time passed on once more,
and I breathed more freely till the news
came of the trouble in Egypt, and once
more I seemed to be in agony, always
looking forward to the" day, and yet
fondly hoping that what Jack said was
right, and tht it would only .be in the
case of some great war, or in an emer
gency, that the reserves would be called
out. ! ...
"Nonsense, my girl," he cried, merri
lv. "Not for EgvDt. They would not
call us out for that. They'll only want
a few thousand for tbat job." Don't you
make yourself uneasy about that.
It was the very next week that I saw
him reading his paper on Sunday morn
ing, as usual, just as he always did over
his pipe when the week s worK was done.
whiie he read little bits to me of what he
thought would be interesting, and, that
day. war and fighting were as far from
my mind as ever they could be, till all at
once it struck me that Jacs s voice was a
little altered, and as an idea flashed into
my brain, I looked up sharply .and found
that he had shifted himself a little so
that he had got tbe newspaper between
us, and that seemed to make my fancy
something certain.
"Jack," I said, in a quick, sharp way,
"you haven't read anything about the
war in Egypt."
"Didn't I?" he said. "Oh, they're
getting off right enough. I think the
ships 11 do all the work. Oh, they'll pol
ish off the Egyptians and bring the pyra
mids back for loot.
I got up and pressed the paper down
with my two hands to see that he was
looking at me in a curious, frightened
way.
"Jack," I said, "you're keeping it
back from f me. They're going to call
out the reserves."
"Yes "he said, letting the paper gp
and standing up firm and strong in his
soldierly wav: "they've settled to have
them out, my girl."
"ADd you 11 have to go, jac&f
wailed.
"Yes. dear. I shall have to go likea
man. Like better men than I am who
will have to go."
"There ain't no better men, Jack, no
where. I cried, as I ttung my arms
around his neck, and clung to him.
"No, dear,' you can't go you shan't go,'
I panted. "How can vou leave me and
the children?"
I never felt so proud of my husband as
I . did that day when he strained me
tightly to his breast and said quietly, as
if he was giving orders:
"My little woman is going to be strong
and brave, and to help me in my trouble
I shall have to go, my darling, and I wil
go like a man
"Yes, Jack," I sobbed, piteously
"you shall go like my brave, true hus
band; but oh. Jack, it is so soverv
hard."
"Don t make it narder lor me, my
darling," he whispered. "Don't -for
God's sake, don't!"
It seemed to come to me then that it
was my duty to try and help and com
fort him, and I dashed away the tears
and held his hand in mine, as I laid my
head against his "breast.
"I'm going to be strong, Jack," I whis
pered. "I won't make it harder for you
to go and and oh, Jack Jack!''
And then I got over it again, and tried
to be cheerful, when I had had my cry
oat, and chatted and laughed about how
we would get on till he came back. And
he laughed and chatted, too, and said,
that tbe government would take care of
me aud . the little ones, and that they
would soon polish off the Egyptians.
"We'll spoil 'em, my girl," he cried,
"and I'll soon be back again."
"But you won't have to go yet. Jack,"
I said, with my voice shaking, in spite
of all I could do.
"Yes, dear," he said, "directly. I
shall be warned to morrow, you'll see."
He was, and the next day he had left
his work, the good byes were said, and
he had gone, looking as bright and
eager as could be, while I langned, and
held up the children for him to itiss, and
he told them father would soon be back,
and treated it just as if he was going for
a holiday. Then we saw him into the
train saw him leaning out, waving
his capy to me till the went around
the curve, the little ones waving their
handkerchiefs, and looking as happy as
could be, till he was out of sight, and I
looked happy, too, till our eldest girl
turned her little face up to me, and I
saw her pretty lips tremble, and her face
work, as she cried out all at once:
"I don't want poor father to go."
How could I keep calm then? You,
.who think of those who are dear, and
who have husbands, sons and brothers
forced to fight for their country, tell me
that? I know that it is their duty, and
that it must be done. That is the same
with the highest as with the lowest in
the land. No, not quite. It is terrible
hard that the men of the reserve should,
in so little a quarrel, be obliged to leave
the homes they have made, their steady,
regular work, and wives and children at
home in penury and misery. One week
the father is earning his good wages and
bringing them home; the next week he
is gone, and the unhappy woman who
shares his lot is no longer the prosperous
workman's wife, bnt the poor wife of the
soldier, struggling to live upon the
scanty pay that she receives. The
situation the reserve man held is for
feited at once, and besides the black
outlook of poverty in the winter to ceme
for what can a woman with little chil
dren do to earn her bread? there is the
never-ceasing, weary hours, and watch
ing and waiting for news. The tele
grams of fights arrive. "Only a trifling
ekermish," the papers say, "Our losses
very small; ' but there is always a list of
killed and wounded for wife, sister or
mother to read with swimming eyes, to
see if he whom 6b e loves is there.
"Not this time," she cries, with a
burst of joy, unless yes, unless he be
one of the missing "that may turn up."
That may turn up, when all the time he
may be lying wounded on the burning
sand. Itell you tbat night after night I
lie awake, seeing my poor fellow with
glazing eyes and whitened lips fainting
in the terrible heat, and seeming to ask
me for water to quench his thirst. Then
I have seen him lying on a stretcher,
carried by four comrades to the rear. At
one time it will be with his face gashed,
and a dreadful look of agony as he turns
his head from side to ei.ie. At another
time I have neen him carried in with his
face covered over, so I cannot see it, but
I know it is he; and I have felt the cold
sweat trickle from my brow as I have
ain trembling and sick at heart.
Dreams and fancies, you will say; but
who that has a loved one at tbe war can
help such fancies dreams? I V have
fought aud tried I have knelt and
grayed for strength, and the strength
as come; but there are limes when my
agony seems greater than I can bear.
He was gone to do his duty, as tnous
ands of our brave fellows have gone be-
bre, and we whom they have left behind,

lot; but for those who, .like myseit, are
so suddenly left adrift struggling with
out the husband's protecting arm ought
not the country, which we are toia is
grateful, do a little more? The Reserve
man should not marry, you will say; but
is this just? After years of toil, ready at
nv time to nek his life in the country s

A Hunter's Terrible DEATH.-Thos.
Bear of Jefferson county, Pa., went out
hunting on Wednesday last, not re
turning home, a search was made for
him. On Friday afternoon his headless
body was found in the woods a few miles
from his home. His head and portions
of his breast and shoulders W9re found
in the brush twenty-five feet away from
the body. A short distance beyond where
the body lay a large tree had been leiied.
The trunk was chopped only half in two
and was split up for several feet. It is
supposed that Bear was chopping down
the tree to secure a raocoon wmcn ne
had treed, when the trunk split in fall
ing and one half of it flying up! struck
him in the breast with such violence as
to tear his head and shoulders from his
body and hurl them .to the spot! where
they were found.
