STORY OF A MOTHER.
ft— - >9^
A mother eat watching her . little
childj wa-t ead, eo afraid test it
should die. For the child was very
pale; 1th eyes had closed; Its b pen th
ing was faint; andVvet^tVowand then
It fetched a deep sigh, and the moth-
er’s face grew sadder and sadder as
she watched tho Hulo Mny creature.
There was a knock at the door, and
a poor old man, wrapped up In a great
horse-cloth, came in. He had need of
warm clothing, for It was a cold win-,
let's night; the ground outside the
bouse was covered with ice and snow,
and the wind blew keen and cutting
Into the wanderer's face.
And as the old man was shivering
with cold, and the little child seemed
just At that fnotneut to Lfetre fallen
asleep, the mother rose up and fetched
somertteer in a little pot, placing it in
side the stove to warm it for her guect.
Aa^the old man eat rocking the cra
dle ; and the mother sat down on a
chair beside him, s.ill gaziug on her
sick child, listeniug anxiously to its
bard bieatbiug and holding Us tiny
hand. v
“I shall ke* p him, do not you think
•o ?” she inquired. “Qod is good. He
wiU not take my darl ng away from
me.”
And the old man—it was Death him
self—-towed bis In odeo strangely, you
oould not tei! w hether be meant to say
'•yes’* of “no.*' And the mother cast
down her eyes, and tears streamed
over her cheeks. She felt her head
growing so heavy, for three whole days
and nights she had not closed her
eyes, and now she clept—but only for
a minute; presently she started up,
shivering with cold. u Wbat is this ?”
she exclaimed, and she ieotced around
her. The old mA was gone, and her
little child was gone (Tie had taken It
with him: And yonder, iQ.the corner,
the old clock ticked and ticked; the
heavy leaden pendulum swung lower
and lower, till at last it fell on the floor,
and then the clock stood still also.
But the poor bereaved mother rush
ed out of ths hoq# and cried for her
elmd. £5*, r *
Outside, amidst the. snow, there sat
a woman, Clad tn long black garments,
who said f Death has been in thy room;
I saw him hurry out of it with thy lit
tle child ; he strides along more swiftly
.jfj'.. ' . »
reply : “but I will not tell thee which
way hs has gone unless thou wilt first
warm me at thy bosom Jtam freezing
to death in this place—I am turning
into loe.”
And she preased the ThorA-bush to
her breast so closefy as to meft all the
Icicles. And ths tiorhs pierced Into
her flesh .ahd the blood flowed In large
drops. But the Thorn-bush shot forth
fresh green leases, and was crowned
with flowers In that -same bitter-cold
winter’s night—so warm is the b
of a. sorrowing dtdtbe^f
'thorn-bush told her which path she
must take. And the path brought her
on to the shore of a Targe lake, where
neither ship nor boat wad to be spen.
The lake was not frozen hard enough
to bear her weight, not shallow enough
to be waded through, and yet cross it
she must, if she would recover her
chihj. So she lay down, .thinking to
dri|hQHe take drjr^ That wad quite
impossible for one human being to do,
but the poor unhappy mother imag
ined that perchance a miracle might
^Cbme to pass.

come to seme agreement. I lore to
collect pearls, and never have I seen
anylobright as thtfte eyes; if thou
wilt weep them into my bosom, I will
begr thep oyer to the ydsfc cobedrva-
tory where Dwath dwells, and tends his
trees and flowera—each owe of them a
human life.” v •.
“Oh, what would I not give to get to
my child I” cried the mother. And she
wept yet again, and her eyes fell down
into the lake, and became tw6' r 6ri!Ttokfit
pearls. And the lake received her,
aodihB bottom beared and swelled,ami
its current bore her safely to the op
posite shore, where stood a wondrous
bouse, many miles tn length. It were
bard to decide whether it were really a
house and built with hands, or kheth-
er It were not rath*"* a mountain with
forests and caverns in Its sides. But
the poor mother could not see it at all,
she had wept out her eyes.
“Where shall X find Death, that I
may ask him to reetore to me my tittle
child ?” inquired she.
“He has 1
old woman ; "but place tby&clL here,
and when Death shall come—I expect
Win every minute—then Suffer Him
not to tear up the plant; but throated
to do the same by some of the other
flowers—that will terrify him. For he
will have to ansltref for It to our Lord;
no plant may be rooted up before ths
Almighty has given permission.”
Suddenly an loy-oold breath swept
through ths ball, and tbs blind mother
felt that Death ’had arrived.
“How hast thou found the way hith
er?” asked he. “How oould’st thou
arrive kefe more qtfiekly than I f”
“I am a mother,” was her answer.
And Death extended his long hand
.toward the tiny delicate orocuv flower;
but she held her bands clasped (Irmly
round It, so closely 1 , so closely I and
yet vritH such anxious care lest she
should touch one of the petals. Then
Death breathed upon her hands, and
she felt that hfs breath was more chill
ing than the coldest, bitterest winter
wind; And her bands sank down,
numbed and powerless.
“Agatnet me thou bast no strength!”
said Death.
“But our Lord has, and Hs is merci
ful,” replied she. »
“I do but accomplish His will,” said
Death. “I am His gardener. I take
up ail His plants and trees, one by one,
and transplant them Into the glorious
Garden of Paradise—Into the Un
known Land ; where that lies and bow
they thrive there, that I dare not MU

the mother, and she walled aad im-

hoary-haired old woman, who was
wandering to and fro in Death's con
servatory, which she had been le|t to
gimr<i in bis absence. “How dtdsttbeu

thee ?”
“Gur Lord has helped me,” She an
swered. “He is merciful, and thou,
too, wilt be merdfur; where shall I
find my little child?”
“I do not know,” said the oM wo
man. “And thou^I perceive, const not
see. Many • flowers had trees have
withered during this night—Death will
come very soon to transplant them.
Thou must know that every human
being has tils tree or flower of life, as
is appointed for each. 'They look like
common vegetables, but their hearts
beat. So be of good cheer, perchance
thou mayst be able to distinguish the
beacl'beat of thy child ; but what wilt
tbou give me if I tell tbee what else
thou must do ?”
“I have nothing to give,” said the
mourning mother. “But I will go to
the end of the world at thy bidding.”
“I want nothing from the end of the
world,” said the old woman; “but thou
eaust give me thy long black balr.
Tbou must know well, that It is very
beautiful; It pleases me exceedingly ;
and thou canst have my white hair in
exchange, even that wlU be better than
none.”
“Deeh-est thou nothing fhrtherT’
returned the mother ; “I will give It
thee right willingly.” And she gave
away her beautiful hair, and received
instead tKe thin snow-white locks of
„ / / i
the did woman.* „ "
And then they entered Death’s vast
conservatory, where flowers and treea
grew In wonderful order and variety.
There were delicate hyacinths, pro
tected kygla£8|s, and great healthy
peonies. There grew water-plants,
some looking quite fresh, some sickly;
water-snakes were clinging about
them, and black crabe dung fast by
the stalks. Here were seen magnifl-
cent palm-trees, oaks, and plantains ;
yonder clustered the humble parsley,
and fragrant thyme. Not a tree, not a
flower, but had Its name, each corres
ponded with a human life; the persons
whose names they bore lived In all
countries and nations on the earth ;
one in China, another in Greenland,
and so forth. There were some large
trees planted in little pots, so. that
their roots were contracted Qpd the
trees themselves ready to break out
from the pota j 00 the other baadthere
was many a weakly, tiny herb eet in
rich mould, with most! laid over Its

her bokl of both the flowers. ,
“There are thine eyee again,” said
Death. “I fished them out of the lake,
they glistened so brightly ; but I did
not know that they were thine. Take
them baok ; they are now even bright
er than before ; now look down into
this deep well. I will tail tbee the
names of the two flowers which tbou
wert about to pluck, and tbou shall
see pictured in the well their whole fu
ture, the entire course of their human
lives. Thou (halt see all that thou
hast yearned to destroy.”
And she gazed into the Well, and a
lovely sight it was to see how one of
these lives* became a blessing to the
whole world, to see what a sunshine ot
joy and happiness It diffused arOund
it. And she beheld the life of the oth
er, and there was sin and sorrow, mis-
fortune and utter misery.
“Both are God’s will t” said Death.
“Which of them Is the flower of un
happiness, and which the blessed and
blessing one ?” inquired she.
“ i hat I will not tell thee,” returned
Death ; but this sbait thou learn from
me, that one of those two flowers was
the flower of thine own child. Tbou
bast seen the destiny, the futare of
thine own child I”
Then the mother shrieked out with
terror, “Which of the two is my child ?
Tell me thdt I Save the innocent child I
Release my child from all this misery i
Rather bear It away—bear itinto God’s
kingdom 1 Forget my tears; forget
my entreaties and all that I have doae.”
“I do not understand thee,” said
Death ; wilt tbou have thy child back
again, or shall I carry him away to
that place which thoa knowest not ?”
And the mother wrung her hands,
Tell upon bet* knees, and prayed to the
All-wise, All-merciful Father, “Hear
, me not when l pray for what Is pot
Thy wHl—Thy wfli is always .best
Hear me.aAt, Lord, hear pe not j”
And her head drooped down upon
her breast. .
And Death departed, and bore away
her child to the Unknown Land.
the night of the '12th the accurate
range of the mortars lodged a shell in
the parade or about the work at Inter

struck the fort during the first twenty*
four hours. By morning the fleet sent

but did not enter. At 6:90 on the 13th
the quarters took fire from the effect

WosHtwoTON, Jan. 7.—Gen. Banning,
Chairman of the House Military Com

bill, which provides for a thorough re
organization of the whole military ma

consolidated into twelve, possibly four

missary Departments will be consoli

corps will be wiped put. The staff nui
sance will be broken up, and officers
who are placed on staff duty will held
no htg4* rank and receive no greater'
pay than they would If they were #ith

[Hew York Cor. OlodBoaU C,trMU.]
There has bean a good ikal of gos
sip over the conspicuous absence of
Bret Harte from the Atlantis dinner in
Boston, but it was a matter of no sur
prise to tbose who know the history of
Lis early connection with that maga
zine. When Harte first came on from
California, and all society was running
wflld after him, and he was able to dic
tate his own terms to the suppliant
publishers, the Atlantic Mbnthly closed
a contract with him for the exclusive
right to the products of bis pen for
one year.^ The consideration w*s #10,-
000. Of "course, no stipulation was
made as to wflat amount be would pro
duce, because no author can guarantee
hi advance ter wbftt extent he will be
brilliant, or whether be *1111 be brilliant
at all. Tbe Atlantic got just one ar-
ticie from Harta during the year. Oqs
of bis best friends once told me that
Haste’s great trouble lay In the fact
that he was absolutely devoid of a oon-
eciento. If his washer-woman had
saved $500 by long years of careful in
dustry, he would borrow It without the
slightest Intention of repaying It, qr
without a single twinge of coneaenoo
over his action. Indeed, Harte has
closed up most pf the avenues about
him in the way that Dick Swiveller
did.* The New York Times, which once
published some stories of his, spoke of
him editorially, some time ago, la a
way that was the m xt thing to calling
him a awin / r. Therein an old story
about his lecturing In Boston, with a
Sheriff’s office at each side of the plat
form, behind the scenes, waiting to get
Qw money for the dress suit 1ft which
lie was lecturing, and there are stories
enumerable about, bis personal debts
