I CANNOT GALL HER MOTHER.
ny MISS SARAH t. BOLTON.

The marriage rite is over
And though turned aside,
To keep the guests from seeing
The tears could not hide.
I wreathed my face in smiling
And led my little brother
To greet my fathers chosen
But could not call her mother.
She Is fair young creature
with meek and gentle air;
With blue eyes soft and loving,
And silken sunny hair
know my father gives her
The love he bore another;
But IL she were an angel
I could not call her mother.
Tonight heard her singing
A song used to love,
When its sweet notes were uttered
BY her who sings above.
1t psined my heart to hearit,
NV tears could not smother,
For ever, word was hallowed
By the dear voice of my mother.
nv father in the sunshine
OF happy days TO come,
May half forget the sorrow
That darkened our old home
His heart no more is lonely,
But me and little brother
Must still be orphan children,
God can give us but one mother.
They've borne my mothers picture
From its accustomed place,
And set beside my fathers
A younger, fairsr face,
They've made her dear old chamber
The boudoir of another,
But will not forget thee,
NY own, my angel mother.

A WIFE's LovC.--rhere is a turning point in
the love OF wife for husband which should
be carefully watched. In some it occurs very
early, long before thirty, especially il the match
were one Of passion or family convenience; but
in the majority of instances, it's appearance
manifests itself about the approach to the md
die age of woman from thriy-dve to forty two.
There is revusion in the whole moral and
mental being--a kind of chilling, cold indifTer-
enca, which the slightest unkindness on the
part of the husband at once kindles into fame.
1t is difficult to account for this transtory con.
dition-but there is much proof that woman
loves twice. She loves the husband of her
spring; in the summer her attachment requires
other sustenance than that of habit and associ-
ation--it hungers for the spiritual element, be.
comes dreamy, and every word of anger every
slight every inattention, every weakness on the
part OF the husband. crowds on the memory OF
the wife, and she becomes miserable without
knowing wherefore. The husband then should
become lover again,

Having eyes, see ye not S-BipLB.
Blindness, which shuts out from perception
the beauties of earth and the armament above
us-which closes natures Book Of Beauty"
and folds in perpetual darkess the features of
loved ones-which leaves the imagination ever
to picture in the mind bright forms, whose
graceful outlines never will be traced upon the
retna of sightess eyes-is a misfortune from
which VIC all pray to be preserved. Yet many
there be who "having eyes, see not the beauty
and the loveliness of earth-the gems and Jew
els that adorn the perfect work of the Almighty.
Their vision extends not beyond the vail of ma
ture that hides His face from us. The glory of
supreme perfection tingcs not the landscape as
they gOzc upon it. The sunshine, the rainbow,
and the unapproachable glory of the star-gem
med heavens above us are. TO them, no promise
of an eternal home, whre beauty sndures, and
youth fadeth never.
But ever looking upon the revolving spectacle
of human mperiection--ever gazing upon the
harsh outlines of lle's rough realites-looking
not e" through nature up to natures God" but
upon nature, with no God beyond-they claim
not of their Heavenly Father the rich treasures
he has in store for them The soul of such an
one is confined within its own circle of selfish
ness. An object, to him. is what it looks for

A CHALLENGE AT CHESS DECLNED.-The London
Illustrated News received per steamer America contains
a letter from Mr.. STAUNToN addressed to Mr.. MoRPHY,
declining to engage in chess contest with the latter
The reason assigned by Mr. Saunton for this is
that he could not think of entering upon long and
duous contest without ample opportunity for the
cry Of his old strength in play, without being able to
make such arrangements would prevent the sacrifice
of bis professional engagements The experience
ly to the serious injury of his health shows that it is
impossible for him to gain time for practice, while the
interests of his publishers too serious and important
for him to break his engagements with them In order to
play at chess. Mr.. Staunton remarks
A match at chess Or cricket may be good thing in
its way but none but mailman would for either forfeit
his engagements and imperr his professional reputation
Under these circumstances, waited only the termina
