He could stand by the grave of Lazarus and weep with the sorrowful sisters, but He could also be present at the wedding at Cane of Galilee. an honored and welcomed ilmii. in our deep realization of the solemn mission of our Lord to this sin- ful` world. we are too apt to forget that He came as an image and expression and embodiment of the God of love. The morose Christian is not likely to be bid- den to feasts where his presence is only a gloomy shadow. and his countenance as a threatening cloud. We may be sure that even in His holy purity this was not the impression made by Him whose ` compassions are new every morning " There was sunshine about Him. or the mothers would not have thronged -around Him with their little ones; the despised sufferers would not have looked trustfully to Him for help: the outcast sinner would not hure turned to Him for pardon. We seem to fancy that God made our eyes for tears. and that from some uthar power came their glad twinkle of nu-rrlment or their expression ofinnocent joy in the midst of social converse. Who wrsathed the mouth with smiles that answer to smiles! who iuade the dim- plea in the baby's fans.` Who lit the glad. loving light in its eyes as it begins to be aware of the tender care of its mother!

June dny at Fort Devis. on the little Missouri river. and a court- mnrtinl has nuembled to try Private Hamuel White on the chsrxe of one or the gravest crimes a soldier can be Buiiiy of in time or pence-atriking his superior nmcer. Private White came to Company B. 11th Infantry, from Jefferson barracks a year be- fore. One day he walked into a. re- cruiting olce in St. Louis and offered himself (or medical examination. The sergeant was surprised-the captain in chnrze was surprised--the medical examiner was surprised. Here was n man 20 years oi. use--sound as 3. doi- In.r-n gentleman in speech and de- meanour and evidently used to the good things or life, who was anxious to to aoldiering in timv of peace. He wns Altogether different from the average mnterial-so much out of his line that the recruiting ofllcer looked him over and growled out the: he'd bet his boots "the dude" would be posted an a. deserter within ten days. `rho captnin 01 Company B was I .3 '/ //'///r married man and had his wife at the tort. He was an old school omcer. and so thorough s. martinet that he was cordially hated by every man in his company. He appeared to take a dislike to Private White on sight. and it wasn't a week before trouble came. The new recruits for Company B had scarcely time to get the points oi. the compass I etore they were doing double v duty.carrylngaloz on the shoulder or oiinking in the guard-house. In each and every case. as all the omcers knew and remarked among them- selves, the punishment was iniilcted tor some triing infraction, due to inner cc more than carelessness. Harm l White was the iirst victim se- lect . Dliia musket was the thou- sandth part of an inch out '0! plumb as he came to a "present" to the ollicer of the day. who was Capt. Carey himself, and away he went tb the [uard-house as a punishment. That was the beginning. but it was not the end. In the course oi a month it began to be talked around that "the captain was down on Pri- vate White," and something occurred each week to give rise to more gus- sip. One night, when he was again oillcer of the day, three or his men deserted. Private White was one of the sentineis that night. Indeed. he was the one who save the alarm. In the first excitement the raptain charg- ed him with conspiring and ordered him under arrest. Private Whit! conspiring Ind ordered him under arrest. protelted and struck -back with his nIl-hence the couri-mar- lial. No omcer has the right to strike a private soldier, but it in excuned in him on the plea of "imnu:-o." No such nlon. can be en- Ithrcood ntnrn nu Ill ' the on Dmzomlmr 8 lootf 12 !L`!' _"..J. '.L it is excused In nlm tne plea Iu. impulse." No such plea tered for the private. If he strikes his superior oicer he must be tried and punished, and no excuse he can urge will save him. Capt. Carey pro- voked the return blow and was re- joiced when it was delivered. Corporal, bring in the prisoner !" It was Private Samuel White who was escorted into the room to make his plea and stand trial. He had been [IV-.n many days and nlzhts in whirh to think his case over. There was not a private who hesitated to an- nounce his sympathy for the prisoner -nut an omcer who did not feel that Capt. Carey had degraded himself in thus hounding a man past all endur- ance. Private White was motioned to a seat as he entered, but he did not take it. The irons had been tnk-~n off his legs (or the ilrst time since his `arrest. It was a warm. balmy day. and the windows of the rooms were nnnn Ono nf them lnnlrnd nut nn the EPNEFJ crleu or "stop nlm l" were Inoutea at him. He was a Company B" man and recognised White In an inltnnt. He brought up his musket and nrmi. but he purposely red wild nnd ha-l a word 0: encouragement to the fugi- tive as he passed him. In another mumenl White was in the uddle and galloping tawny, and a hundred men watched him out of night. He was recorded on 1 deoerter. and Cnpt. Carey Wu not only at (real. pain: to spread the new: Imong scouts. hunt- ers, and nnchmen. but privately of- lered 8100 reward for his capture. Tho: nr-one chanced ntnine It in De- Ind the windows or (no open. One of them looked out on the tale. and Just outside the gate wu hitched the horse of the mail-carrier. who hnd Just come in. Private White drew 3 long breath. ung the men im- |ide him Away with o twist oi` his .-timws, And. before any one could stop him. he was out of the window. There wu a sentinel at the (Ale. and cries or stop him i" shouted at him. He who a Comnany Jered uuo reward [or me capture. The rene changed again.

The stranger said he would talk with the lady, and two minutes later was in her presence. Bhe recognized him on the instant and pronounced his name. He calmly replied that he was Samuel White. soldier and de- aerter, and though she was the wire or the olcer who had hounded him into a breach or discipline and deser- tion; he stood ready to offer her his best services in the emergency.

At noon they had made but eight miles through the heavy snow. but a halt was made to build a fire. make s pot of coffee and permit the woman in move about and restore the circula- tion of her stiffened limbs. when night tell a camp was made in a grove on the banks of a creek. The soldier dug away the snow. hent the tops of three or four bushes together and ung a blanket over them. and the half-frozen woman was lifted from the saddle. Then a tire was built. the horse turned loose to shift {or him- self. and presently the deserter had prepared both` food and drink.
