How lie KNEW HIS FArmER-At a Justices
court in the Green Mountain State, some years
ago, the following amusing incident occurred.
A very ill-naturcd and quarrelsome person
was concerned in street brawl one night and
got blow from somebody, which resulted in
black eye and suit for assault and battery.
In the course of the trial son of the plain
tiff was called to the witness stand-a regular
"chip of the old block"-about fifteen years
of age. The boy testified to some knowledge
Of the affray, but could not give any particu.
lars, as the night was an exceedingly dark
one.
"Now, sir" said the cross examining attor.
ney "wil you venture to swear that your fa-
thcr was there at ally"
Yes, sir, know he was there"
But you say you did not see him nor hear
him speak; how, then, ask, did you know
he was present."
"Why, I'll tell you. As I came out of the
gate heard Joe Smith, (hc dcfcndant) holler
out, there goes the old devil! and knew
he meant dad"

"oUR coUNTRY-Alys but Wrong Country"


Ellen, too, received visit from her mother
that night, and before they parted Ellen had
told Of all her lOngings after love, and how she
had wanted to talk Of her dead mother. They
wept together and then the mother prayed.
As she gave the child her first good night Kiss,
Ellen threw her arms around her neck and
said, III love you, MOTHER" and from that time
they knew and loved each other. In angry
moods, Ellen would sometimes ray: ~ wish
q astepmOther had never come to darkcn our
home" but in very little time she would come
in tears, to be forgiven.
George was not so easily won but Alice
was not discouraged. She sought his conf
dcnce in every way; interested herself in his
plans, and he would find some nice little offer
ing Of her handiwork on his table, with card
attached, saying it was little token of love
from one who would be a mother to him"
Finally, she found one morning, little gift
for her, with these words attached, "TO my
kind mOther-frOm George"
Then sunshine began to dance all over the
old farmhouse, to the sweet music OF loving
words and tones. Clouds came sometimes,
but Alice prayed, and wore the same gentle
look and smilc, and they passed without a
storm. Years went by. The sad news came
thatthc bright-eycd Charlie rested in an ocean
grave. George and Ellen grew to manhood
and wOmanhOOd, and went to preside over
homes of their own. Mrs. MorefOrd sat alone
one evening awaiting her husbands return
from the village. As he entered he handed
her two lctters-"from the children" he said.
With full heart she read Georges letters.
lie had just been recalling the scenes of his
childhood, and gratefully and touChingly al.
lndcd to the time when she came to bless them.
lie assured her that he had treasured in men,
ory her years of unwearicd love and kindness,
and that in his devotion he always thanked
God for giving him such step.mothcr.
Ellcn's letter was mostly filled with descrip-
tions Of little wee stranger who had come to
gladden. her western home. ave call her
Alice, she said, "and only hope she will be
as good as the one whose namc she bearS." {"
Tearfully and gratefully Alice Morcford read
those aftectionatc tributes to her mothcrly
care and love. Then she complained Of sud-
den faintncss, and retired Morning found
her very ILL., physician was sent for, who
came and soon pronounced her symptoms
alarming. Day after day passed, and she grew
rapidly worse, and then the doctor said, sadly,
y fear there is no hope" George and Ellen
were informed that their mother was dying.
They hastencd home, but arrived in time only
to receive ono Of her sweet smiles, and then
the eyes which had looked so lovingly on them
closed forever.
So Alice died-nOt unmourncd. Still is her
memory very sacred in the hearts of her be-
reavcd husband and children, who, SO long as
they live, will bless God that she did not al

TorcHING IN THE ExTREME.-Thc most NOV
ing Of all the pathetic incidents that occurred
in connection with the burning Of the A"stria,
is this: An English lady, who came OH board
at Southampton with her husband, had three
children with hcr-a girl five years old, boy
about three. and babe in her arms The
husband had jumped over; as the flames grew
hcttcr and burned fierccly, she took her little
girl, kissed her and threw her into the water.
She then took the boy, a fair, healthy little
fellow, embraced him, gave him her last kiss,
and threw him in. Rising tn the surface three
separate times, he called out "Mamna," each
time in the most pteous tones, aud then sunk
to rise no more.-The poor woman then clasp
cd her babe to her breast aId jumped in with
it, kissing it repeatedly as they sank to the
bottom.

at length obtained, the judge, with much
seeming gravity, accOsted the chop-fallen
counsel thus:
Lord Denman--"Arc you satisfied, Sir

With buds and thOrns about her brow,
! met bcr 10 the woods Of Nav
Bending beneath loaded bOugh,
She seemed 81 young, and was 80 fair,
A rosy freshness in her nir
Spoke morning gliding into day.
Wild as an untamed bird OF spring.
She sported mid the forest ways,
Whose blossoms pale did round her cling,
BIlihe was she rs the banks Of June,
Where humininR-bees keep sweetest tune;
The soul Of love was in her lays.
Her words fell sot upon my ear,
Like dropping dews from leafy spray:
She knew no shame, and felt no fear;
She told me how her childhood grew
Her joys how keen, her cares how few:
She smiled, and said her name wus Nav,

Thy form is with thee shows that feet
And am weak, and wan, and gray!

The paths wherein their beauty moved
Do seem to full beneath my feet.

And soon she seemed TO heed me not,
But gathered flowers bcfurc my face
Oh, sweet 10 me her untaught ways!

And then she faded ont Of life:

They knew not that my heart was torn;
They sRil fever left me mad,

A withercd May, and scattered bloom,
A well Of tears, and waysidc tomb
Alas! twas all the lore had.
And 10 this day am not clear;
My stricken mind doth grOpe it's way,
Like those who walk where woods are seTe

Two things so crushed into my heart
AS May and Love-nnd Love and May!
Still, shouting meath the greenwood tree,
Glad children call upon her name;
But life and time nre changed TO me;

Above her head blnmcless sod
The very earth is not the same.
Oh, heavy years, grow swift and briefl
Death, lay thine hand upon my brow!

The thoughts to which my spirit clung
Consumed me, like sapless bough.
