a Mothers Looe for Ilanidc Hear
the eastern base of the West Rock, OPP.
p0site the place where the ascent com
mences, may be seen, says the New Ha-
ven (Ct.) Courier, small rustic cot
tage, surrounded by few stunted trees,
and standing isolated from the world by
its remoteness from all neishbors. Few
evidences OF fertility are found 10 that
region. Sterile hill sides and plains
where vegetation can find but feeble
hold. peryade that rock and the chance
wayfarer there, wonders how the inmates
of such home can find enough by which
to sustain nature. But the wants are
few and simple, when reduced to such
as are absolutely required to nourish the
animal economy, and even upon the des-
olate heath, and under the shade of the
sterile mountains, may be found the
means Of moderate sustenance and sup
port.
The reader Will find in the humble
abode to which we have just alluded, but
two occupants. In the stiffness Of that
secluded spot, strange faces are seldom
seen in winter, although during the sum
mer many visitors to West Rock pass it
by. But during the long, dreary, IN
element months, none save the two we
have mentioned, are to be found in this
isolated abode. And who are they p
We commend the reader 10 go and see.
A mother, with her maniac son, and he
chained to the floor! None other are
there. Che mother has had a prepos-
sessins look. Her costume and address
are better than the mass Of her sex, in
such an unfavorable station for the de-
velopment of character and refinement.
She was net lonely she said, even
during the drearincss Of winter. She
aad her son for society. She had him
to watch over and care for, and now he
was chained be was secure. lie couldn't
get away from her. He had been insane
for eight years. Formerly he acted as

tie was subject to fits, but he was now
secure in the house. and she had him for
society and to comfort her. This is the
undying nature Of woman's love, CT a
mothers affection for her children!
Such was the cheerful response of a
seli-denying parent, when replying to
the inquiries eta stranger whom she &C.
cos'ed at the door. We inquired for
the son anil asked permission 10 see him.

Pooeriy.-As poverty is the lowest, so
1t IS the most impatient of the whole fsm-
lily Of vices. Pride is a eentlemanIy
failing, an, sins sweetly aud respecta-
bly,. 1t smells Of civit, and turning its
vanished cheek to the sun, walks abroad
i'll purple and fine linen. Nav, it rides
In coach and four: and in hours Of
Penitentlal castigation, bolts itself in
bew of best upholstery, and in fit of
lasting at least couple of
hours, calls itself miserable sinner
Hence, pride at its worst has its good
sraces. At all events, it never otlends
that extraordinary abstraction, public
decency; for though we hear much about
tt, it is, nevertheless, sometimes as diff
cult to discover as city policeman
No; pride. being a vice that is well to do
in the world, may be called respectable.
Pride keeps barouche. Drunkenness
may, or may not, BE respectable, accor-
ding to its education. When we say
education, we mean the peculiar bottle
it studies. For the drunkenness that
ponders over champagne. is a very diff
terent vice to the drunkenness that
takes Iibations from pewter quorterns.
arrogance is also vice that may have
its laudaton. 1t rarely consents with
begears; bat is at least among that sus-
picious class, the respectable. Covet-
business and avarice are called vices; for
bur part. we have ever thought them
amongst the noblest virtues. And so III
iced in their heart of hearts, do nine
hen out of ten think them. And this is
What they do; they give them hard
lames, and then, TO make amends for
heir seeming harshness, take them to
heir bosoms; in the same way that
oollsh mother, when she sees her baby
loing all sorts of household misdemean-
prs, cries, you little wretch and then

PHILADELPHIA, April IL, 1913
JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESQ. -
Let the people Of New York be on the alert for
counterfeit ten dollar notes on the Western Bank of
this city. Five or six men have been arrested and
are now undergoing their examination before our
excellent Mayor, charged with counterfeiting and
passing them to large amount. Don't despair of
their conviction. We have not yet abolished our
laws altogether, as some people think. Although
Alexander not convicted of murder for as foul
murder as was ever perperated, we have new
Court in which Justice will be dealt out, without
fear or favor. Ii has the confidence of the commu-
nitv and deserves it. Our new Judge, Parsons, is
likely to become avorite-let him learn from the
experience of Judge King, from whom no young
Judge, or few old ones, need blush TO learn. There
is feeling OF dlstrust OF the laws taking hold on our
citizens, which has been brought about by recent
events. A murder, cool and deliberate, has been
CLOSED over, and jury of TIVE I've men under their
oaths, have said II was no murder, and discharged
the offender against the laws from punishment and
endorsed his conduct. Who can be surprised after
this, to learn that on Saturday last in the capitol Of
our State, in the hall of the Legislature, while that
august body was In sessi0n ut its members spat
in the face Of and stabbed the publisher of a paper,
for some article he had inserted that did not please
