Congress has the pow* cr under the constltulion of the I 'idled States "to provide for the calling forth of the militia to u.vccute the laws of the rillon, suppress hiSUITert loll* and rebel Invasion."

It denotes |Qtyg ww*tlix of lip ened grain lying on tbe ground ready to ?><? gai lined Into burns. then to be made into bread to give strength to inlllioiiH of people. It wan mucIi a morning an this that Mary ltobhins. a farmer's daughter, caught the sound of the mowing ????? chine down in her fat her' h wbeatfleld. The day before a young man had ap plied for work, lie was a strapping, manly fellow, with a pair of honest eyen toward which IiIh thick btdr grew, and he wax continually tossing bis head to throw It back, lie bad been engaged for the harvest, and now he was driving that mowing machine whose rattle was wafted up to the farmhohse on the breeze. "It's a mighty hot morula'," said Mary to herself, "and I don't envy that young feller swelterin' out there in the sun, drlvlti' round that square field. He's been out there since 7 o'clock, and it's nbw 10. lie must need a suack. I'll Just put some o* that bacon that; was left over from' breakfast be tween two slices of bread, get some milk out o' the springhouse and take .'em down to hlra." A little later John Horto^, the farm hand, paused to give his latheredi horses a rest and, looking up. saw the farmer's daughter from the waist up ward above thp waving wheat. "I'urty as t| sail ridln' the waves," he remarked to himself. "She seems to be heudlng straight this way." Presently Mary emerged from the standing wheat, treading upon that which hud fallen. Then tbe young man saw that in one bund she carried something rolled In u napkin, while In the other was a large tin cup. He wiped the sweut from his brow that he might see more clearly, and some thing pleasurable rose up In bis breast when he realized what was coming. "Gettln' hungry?" said Mary, with a suille, as who reached the farm hand and. ifo rolling the white napkin, dis played the sandwich. "Waal,* now, ain't this Jlst too tine for anything?" lie took the sandwich, and as his teeth struck the succulent bacon the expression on his face would have served for an advertlsemeiif for a pre pared food. Then he took the cup and drained half of It aj; a gulp, uud it secmod as if he had poured the es sence of Joy into his stomach. "It's a long spell between breakfast and dinner," said Mary. "1 Just thort you'd like a leetle sittin' up, so 1 brought you a suack." They had never met till the night before, and, since the young man was a stranger to her and Mary did not wish to appear bold, she turned f?? go back to the house. "Can't you wait a bit." suid John, "till I finish the milk so you kin take back the cup?" "Oh, I'm in no consid'able hurry," replied the girl, aud she stood still. "This milk is cold," said John, "and they say a heap o' cold milk put sud dent into the stummick is liable to bring on colic." He looked at a tree beyond the fence. Mary took the hint and said It would be better for him to eat his snack In the shade. He let down a few rails, they stepped over the i*est and, going to. the tree, sat down on the grass. John finished Ids refreshment, but Mary made no move to return to the farmhouse, and he did not resume his /mowing. v' " The sweetest moments neither wealth nor power can buy. The cool breezes blew upon these two young persons; the flecked sunbeams danced upon the grass about them. They were tasting the incipient sensation of t\yo hearts drawing together, delicious as the first swallow of rare wine. The July scen ery was around them with its odor of production. The mowing machine was r silent. The horses were switching the flies with their talis. "Mary!' A woman's voice, the voice of Mary's mother, came over the fields from the house. At the same time the sound of a horn came from a neighboring farm. "La sakos," cried Mary, "it's dinner time!" That evening after supper Fanner Bobbins paid John Horton a day's wages and told him to move on. John knew the reason, but said nothing. In wardly he remarked that the two hours he had spent with Mary were worth a discharge ton times over. 'Farmer Itobhins locked the stable rr after the horse bad been stolen, may require a burglar ten minutes to steal a watch: a girl's heart may be stolen during a (lash of lightning. John Horton had stolen, through no fault of his, Mary's heart, but he declined to Bteal Mary from her father. Iltf we At ??way. but several years later he passed that way ami found Farmer Bobbins dead and Mary working the farm. He was engaged manager and married her. , '.But he declares that the happiest day of his life was the day he was discharged for spending his time In the shade of a tree Instead of attend ing to his farm work. ** ** It was certainly nn Important day, for it brought him a wife. in the kind we serve from our fountain ? tool, cheering thirst-appeasing.
