The Home Mother.

\. Some one writing for the Masonic Mir
FOR has drawn a charming, picture of home
loving, tchild-loyiDg mother 1ild' baaar,
ave must draw,aoline, aye broad line,
between her and the frivolous butterfly OF
fashion, who fits from ball to opera and
party, decked in rich robes, and followed
by train as hollow and heartless as herself.
She. who, forgetful Of the holy task assign
ed her; neglects those who have been given
her in charge, and leaves them to the care
of hireliDgs, while she pursues her giddy
round of amusements:: ....
"Not SO with our home mother! blessings
be on her head. The heart warns to see
her in her daily routine OF pleasant duties
How pleasantly she sits, day after, day,
shaping and sewing some little article for
use or adornment for her little flock! How
proud and pleased is each little recipient of
her kindness! How the little faces dimple
with pleasure, and the bright eyes grow still
brighter as mamma decks them with her
own hands, and in the new dress she has
made! How much warmer and more COM
Portable they fee, ,gif mamma wraps them up
before they to 60 school! No one but her
can warm the mitts and overshoes, or tie
the. comforters round their necks!,.o r.,r...
a "There is 9 peculiar charm about all she
does, the precious mother. They could not
sleep, nays for that, matter, she could not, if
she failed to visit their chamber and with
her own soft hands arrange them comforta-
BILE before she slept! Her heart thrills with
gratitude to her Creator as she looks on
those swest blooming faces, and when their
prayers are done, imprints good night kiss
on each little rosy mouth. 1t may be, too;
a tear will start for one little nesting laid
ia its chill narrow bed, for whom her mater
nal care is no longer needed. 1t sleeps
though the sleet and snow descend, and the
wild winter winds howl around its head
1t needs no longer her tender care! A
mightier arm unfolds it! 1t is at rest! She
feels and knows that it is right, and bends
meeklyto the hand that sped the shaft, and
turns with a warmer love, if it be possible,
to those little ones who are to love. How
tenderly she guards them from danger, and
with strong untiring love, she watches by
their bedside when they are il! Blessings
be on the gentle home loving mother. An
gels will look with love upon her act. Her
shall rise up and call her blessed,
and the memory Of her kindly deeds win
unfold her as a garment"

SUICIDE BY A Boy.---We understand that
a most remarkable suicide occurred near the
Sweet Springs in September last. A lad be-
came displeased with his father for denying
him some request, and declared that he
would put an end to his existence. Those
who heard the threat paid but little atten-
ton to it, supposing that it was an idle out
burst of temper. But the boy was resoute
in his purpose; and after procuring hoe
and spade and digging himself grave, he
got arope, and attached it to a tree and
actually hung himself until he was dead. =
Such, an instance of determination of self
destruction in mere lad has never before
come to. our knowledge.-Lyaclburgh Tr-

The American reader, if at all curious
about THE early history of his country, has
probably heard of that famous expedition, un:

the sgoyerporgenefal ofNew France, against
the confederated Five Nations of New York;
anaexpedition which, though it carried with
it slI the pomp and circumstance Of Euro

was, attended with no adequate results, and
had but momentary effectain quelling the
spirit Of the tameless 1roquois. ''''' 1.''
It. was on the fourth. Of July, 1896, that
the commander-in-c chief, the veteran Count

child, aud they wondered much when they
saw me refuse in succession many most eli

state of my affections. Both at first were an
cry, but my mother relcntcd at sight of my
tears. She soon persuaded my father that
he had wealth and position enough for us all
and that love would make us happier than
riches. He was won to her opinion. We
were all made happy by his consent to the
marriage. which soon after took place.
