Slow AND SURE.--We may learn some
thing from our German ciiizens. They
thrive on the same income that yankee
would starve OIL. We know young Ger
man whsss capital when he landed on our
shores consisted of n singularly construct
cd suit of blue clothes and long tailed
pipe. Yet in five years he had house
and lot. money at interest. wife and ba-
bies, and any quantity of domestic bliss
and picked cabbage. During the most Of
this time our msritorous friend received a
salary uf only six dollars week. A
Yankee might have received five times tLat
sum. and come out head over ears in debt.
The fact is. Germans have very sensible
notions Of life. They are not fast. They
drink beer and smoke pipes with as,onis l..
ing long stems. but they are not addicted
to 'ealling on multi,udinous baskets of ex
pensive Heidsieck. They are industrious
and economical. They know enough to
lay up something for rainy day. which
is a great deal more than some Americans
know. Many Americans seem to think
they will have no difficulty in borrowing
umbrellas when the financial rainy day
comes. but they ascertain their mistake
when the time arrives, and are too often
forced to seek shelter in the poor house OF
to go and live with their parents. Mean-
while our Teutonic friend goes pleasantly
ahead, raising garden saucs and babies
and constantly waxing richer. faiter and
joller. We repeat that we may learn some
thing from our German citizsns.-- Clecs.

MY MOTHER.

Ny mother, dear, soc thee still,
though many years have flown
Since last saw thy loving face.
And was left alone
see thee in each daily walk
Of this my life's career;
shut my eyes and seem to think,
My mother, thou art near.
When sorrow round me spreads her wing,
And cares come setting in,
Thy bright example mother, dear,
Sheds sunlight hope again
And when bright JOY surrounds my soul,
Successful in it's onward way,
In all its rapture still sec
That life-endurinx ray.
see thee now, my mother, dear
I'm knceling at thy feet,
1 lift my eyes. feel the tear
As heart to heart we meet.
I'm but boy within thy arms
/ sleep secure and free:
wake. and play fully Itrot
Upon my mothers knee.
Those days have past those blessings fed,
Of chldhood's happy dream,
And friends of old sleep with the dead,
And all ow' strangers seem;
And manhood comes soon will this life
Be drawing to close
The good the great, the gay must bend
Life's like withering rose.
My mother, dear, see the still,
For tine cannot efiace
Thy memory round my heart entwined,
That clings in fond embrace
Though on this earth we're forced to part,
The farewell is not given.
Thou art ever present in my heart
Soon shall we meet in heaven.
The Young Hush .nd's SoliloQuy
The queerest little dresses
My eyes have ever seen,
sometimes catch glimpse Of,
And wonder what they mean.
All folded up neatly,
And fashioned ont with grace;
With little bows Of ribbon,
And little bits of lace.
gaze on these with wonder;
And in ViOla's eyes
l triod to read the secret
But she is all to wise.
Aud unto all my qcstions
She makes but this reply
''Ifyou'll have patience. Peleg,

and entered the Office, where they made
known their wishes. and requested to be
married Immediately. The expectan, bride

load Of produce for his employer, who own
ed the team, and as S:san wanted to buy
kaiiker dress. he had brought her along
on the top Of the bags. On the way in
they had talked the matter over. and in
view of the fact that they sor,er liked each
other, and had done considerable courting
on the sly, concluded to get married. They
declared themselves Of age and took
the bonds for bettsr or for worse. The
bridegroom was very much elated. and
kissed the bride an unreasonable number
of times. Then lie requested the court to
kiss her. and even went so far as 20 init

the spectators might enjoy the SAME priv

newspaper question. "Put 'er ill.," he
said. in reckless manner. "Put 'er in

the use in getting married 10 a purity gal
