V " i 'Not less than five dollars a day.' 'How many hours do you labor?', 'Ten is the legal time nowadays. I don't generally work that many- . But what's all these question! for?' Because, Frank, we are huaband and wife. ' We expect to live the rest of our lives together, and, if there is harmony in our marriage relations, taiiet be justice and right. You call me daily to appreciate your labora and remind me of the comfort and support you are giving me, and I feel that I can appreciate all you can do, You have earned five dollars to day, and the tbop hat cleared twenty. - Yet, to leva you t dollar, I have, worked ten hours upon your eoat, and six In getting your breakfast, dinner and supper, and making your borne pleasant and comfortable..' To save that dollar I have had to hurry all day, to put all of my work out of time, aud to really neglect our dailing boy, who should be our first care, and the lat thing that should, under any circumstances, be set aside.' Why, I had no idea of this before!' 'I know you bad not, Frank; so I" slialj freely forgive you, but must insist that nereaiior ji must bo my own judge of the work I ho'd best to do, and shall not ex-pact (o be threatened, nor hear mystlf ac-eused of not being willing to do my duty.' Frank felt the force of th(so words, and sat silent. 'One thing more, Frank, I want to soy, while I am about it. I don't wnnt you (o talk about supporting your w.ifo. I will not be supported while I am able to support myself.' j And, ou looking over my books, that the profits of my labor amount to five dollars a week, aad the board of youiself, myself and the baby besides. Then I do all your extra work and my own. AU this saving has gom into your capital to be invested, and to help make your twenty dollars a day. Out of thia comee your five dollars you call Iho worth of your days work, while I must labor with weary limbs, and aching head aud eyes, to save a dollar ia mending aa old coat, whioh, when done, would not sell for the amount of your ten hour's work.' You are making a pretty strong "case against me, Lizzie,' 'No, Frank, not a case against me I could cot do that.but I am stating facts. One thing more. I have been at work three hours since supper, while you, have been entirely idle.not even rocking the cra dle, which I have been obliged to do a dozen times.' 'Lizzio, don't say another word, Rnd I'll never do so tgnin, cried Frank, springing from his chair to jog where the sweet boy was nestling; 'you sbttll never mend another coat.' Yes, but I will, answered Lizzie, ad'-vancing to the cradle; 'only don't tell mo that t n hours' work can be done in five minules.Eor ask me'to 'let the baby equall' agniu.'' ahe lifted Walter from the cradlo. They s oopea to hiss the lair, rosy cheek, but made a mistake and kissed each other-while Frank whispered: 'God bless you, L!zz;i ! I never thought of this before. I wcn'l do it agnin.'

He is looking pale and t' la, and ia still stiff from the eftoct of his rocent in jury. Until Friday, he had ridden ia aa ambulance from place to place, but on that day he mounted hid horse aod directed the movements o( his corps ia person. From him I got tbs true version of the accid. at bich happened d the hard battle of slaugh ter Mountain. It seems that he and his staff were lying ou the ground, as I lound t em oa Friday, when a sudden dash was made fa tteir direction by some rebel civ- airy. The tumult frightened the staff hor KeS, and a large powerful animal belonging to tbe General becoming seriously scared at tho discharge of pistols, gavo a sudden plunge forward: and striking the General with great force ia the hip. threw him dowa and bruised him severely; ' A SxcESsiomsi Slapped bi a Womas.
