May IT" (wave granted, Lola brought the wberaW.thal, and sal down gravaly to tba production of an epistlr. After an boor's bird work she brought it to me, nicely copied for the Srtal reading. Tha composition was onaeeisted, and ran at follows : "Dean Soldi so, — We hava all been mathingt for the soldier*, aad I send this comfort bag U. yoa. 1 hope it will be Bsefel. How queer it tans I look to a man sawing ; but I eappoaa It most be done when there are no women. I Ib nk is very good of you to Bght for the connand 1 lova yoa eery much for it.

After the bag* had gone Loi* became impatient lu he -f from ber soldier, aa aba called him. But many a long weak went by, and tba ebsld bast ctmsed to talk of it, whan bar lathee came ia to dinner with tha long expected document. I, with the faith

Tba impatient fiepare tore opea ' l tha eneelopa, and coming to ma aa road it I < I together: i I "Mr Dr-AK Lim.( Fxicxn"— thus the ' • letter began— "I have just finishoo your 1 I tweet note, and as yoa ask for a reply yon ' I .bsH have it at ieogtfa.

It was the first ooe I htd received ' for tixUen months. My dear little sister ' i Letitia used to sand me a packet every ' week.

Flohko." . 1 Luis wrote a longer letter next time, tell- i " ing of her p«p», add mantmi, und brother Johnnie; bow eke went to rcbool wbrre there was a funny master, who pretended to be crop, and wee not ; bow she, aiding u her play mates, bought for hint a fine ruler * aa a present, and placed it. with a note, on " his table on April Fool's Day. F.van about her Java sparrow tbe little pen discoursed, ber dear J. S., wbo wore a standing collar like old Mr. Waters, aad wba '' slept in a basket. 8he spent some time '' over the epistle, spilled iok, and double- n dyeil her Sogers. But she eeut of a cheery c J letter, uod oot a word of mine diecsuraged '' her. In due lima Mr. Fleming answered, ' and the correspondence want on all wiater. 1 I liked bie letters rery much ; as well as * Lola did, which is saying a great deal for , * tbein. He remembered be wes writing to > a child, and whilo he interested her onr 1 feelings were excited by his staple relLtions. F When Christmas approached Lnla wished " to send him a box. "1 think I ought, mamma ; bs is my * soldier, and kas uobody.else to think of ^ tie." l_J "1 gave her permission, bat eftred no I ( assistance, wishing to sue bow she would | manege. Khe begged a soap hix of the j cook, and Johnnie helped her line it with > paper. Grandma was now besieged with ! . requests for a pair or two of the blue •"■••chings she was conetsntly knitting. They j (•egged me to make a plum-cske, and papa ( 1 gate a bottle of wine. The children bought nuts and candy ; aad Lola, after an anxious j ' talk with me, sent, at ber own particular ( 1 gift, pocket-hsadkerchiafa marked with his ; name — "D. ¥. Fleming." Papa having ( ' suggested something to read, Johnnie I brought his favorite books, Arabian Nights t and Pilgrim's Progress, and conld with dif- ( ficulti be persuaded to sahflitatn Harper's Megaxioas. ( Tbe acknowledgment of tbe box waa a , a grateful letter that more than repaid as. | ' Lola waa specially delighted, because Mr. | Fleming confessed to a weakness for candy, ( and her father had laughed, at her for aued- | ing bonbons to a soldier. There was a note , to Mr. Nelson, in which Mr. Flaming said | i he was soon to have a futlongh, with the rest of the regiment, before re-enlisting for | ' the war. He begged permission to see | • Lata. Mr. Nelson immedintely wrote for : him to eome. But we did not tall Lola, to ■ save bar the excitement end fretting of ex1 pectatioo. About two weeks afterward 1 | " was reading ia my room whan Lois flew in. | ' "Mamma," said she, "there ia a soldier , i dnwa stairs asking fir you t" Aad she hid j ' bar face in my drees aad began to tremble. ■ Tbe servant brought in hie card. ] "Don't yen wish to son Mr. FWamgT j ■ LedaT" "No, no 1" ah# sobbed.

Lulu'" came when he felt forsaken— deep- - rate— and saved hint. Hie regerd for her seemed a kind of reverence. While ha •*» : talking I saw I,nia peeping in at tbe other j end of the drawing room, und I called her. At that name he rose, dropped tba cup he j and went forward to meet uer. rihe blushing like a peony— un old fashioned : red one — hot smiling, end looking up *t 1 from under ber long le-he«. tie uflered her hie band without a word, l.ula gave; him ben, when be kissed it us if alio huu ; been a princess and he of the bipod royal. I She waa a little afraid of him nt first ; but j all shyness wore off when Johnnie came' and went intu a .complete state ' admiration. Mr. Neljoa'a«ked h.itn to stay j with n« during his leave, and 1 vr.a« after- ' ward very glad he did eo, for that week j gave me thorough knowledge of bim, and I when he left n* I loved him us if he had ' been ooe of mine. For along time after Mr. Flemin's d«. ' perture Johnnie and Lula played army j. plays exclusively. They drilled with canee, ! F"l op camp suppers, Sought battles, Were j taken by gnarilles— embodiments of the i rtortesof their friend. A few Suiters pa'eed j between ue, for I now nndertuuk the bulk j of correspondence ; then the campaign be- ; Ran, and we beard ootliing. I was sure ! from the silence that foltow-d Geltisburg, ] in which bia regiment took a prominent ! part, that something had hapiiwoed lo ! bim. Mr. velton vainly inquired, lie 1 thought to be a pritoner, but it wax 1 oot positively known. Lula and Johnnie j could not realise out fenra. To be a pri»ooer was a fine thing in their eyes. What . story Mr; Fleming would have to tell 1 l them ! That fall wa went to Baltimore lo tee an ] old annt, anil in tbe course of our stay «e | went to tee the hospitals. As I neper lurt { any chance of bearing of llHlosl Fleming. ! ' told bit story lo tbe pleasant young j I nurse who walked about with us. She bad | been to tbe front; in the, very first rank of j i those who went to care for the wounded. There was a Captain Fleming ill in one of the w«rd., dying of the wanndt received at Gettysburg. She did not know hit first or any thing about him, except thai he had oo frwoda to wnnm news of his con- I dilion could be sent. 1 usked ber to point [ bim oot, for a misgiviug seined me. Sorely ! it was be. white and changed. I drew back , I he would see w too suddenly. The • nufte spoke, and told him toino one had come to see him. A Utile color flashed into bis face as 1 came forward, and tbe fellow turocd bis face into the pillow and sobbed. I cried ton. "Why didn't you let os kdow where yon were?', I asked at la'l. "I did," said be ; "bat my letters had been unanswered for so long that I thought perhaps you bad done enough for ine, to 1 wrote no more. Isn't Lota here? "You shall see her to-morrow. When tou are a little etronger, and coo be moved, must come to or. We will nurse you well again." | "I shall soon be well enough to be | tmivndi" said be, with a melancholy sigoi- ! Scares, "bat not-lo your hduse, dear lady. : ; Do yoa think Lnla will know me? I hope I sba will not be afraid ug-aiu. You will ; b'.ng ber to-morrow ?" 1 promised— and tbe next day we came. I.nla kaew he waa very ill, but she -was not . quite prepared for tbe white face, the great black eyes, with their eager, intmse glance. He smiled, and motioned her to come near bim. "Then yon didn't forget yonr soldier afall." "Oh, I did'at — I didn't J" Aod both the soft arms cent around bis neck. "Can't you get np, poor Mr. Fleming J" "Do you know," (aid be, holding her lo with hie little strength, "they havo made me a captain, and given me a sword? I most give it to yon with my own I know }oo will keep it for my Sake. If I never disgraced my office, never in my doty, never doubted In the caaaa at last, it was becou.e 1 knew Lala me adu believed tu me 1" Lola waa greatly afraid. or any woapon, knew. I saw ber pause end turu from Mm lo tbe sword. "It will not hurt you, my child," said I, "It is in its sbaath." Bo the dimpled, inexpert hands bronght to tba bedside. He grasped it by tbe and held ber hand with his there. A moment paused in rilance. I thought be prayed. "Now good-bye, doer little ana t When I get well 1 will eome for the sword. Keep for me. Will yon kiss me, Lois ?" She stooped her pouting month to his, and than looking op to' uie, one arm'fcuggia* *J«h foarfal sword, held on*- tbe other iilsM away. Tha soft ayoa ware full of awe. 8 ha did not cry, but eat rery 'still la the carriage. When her father came in at night, and Lala tried lo tell bim every thing, she conld sot for her sobs. Tba next day Mr. Nelson went with me tolha Ineplisl ; but »H wse over. We told

t ; Lola tbat Mr. Fleming was well.
