My Mother.

My Mother Oh, what cares she had,
When weak and young;
Her daily watch was DER my bed,
When silent was my tongue.
Who can measure Mothers loves
Its limits have no bounds,
'Tis ever oo1ing, flowing out.
To spread sweet comfort round
When | am we'll she's good and kind,
And ready to bestow
Some word to guide my future path,
While 1 am here below.
Yes. she has taught how to pray,
To look TO God above;
That all my hopes and faith should rest,
In Jesus pardoning love.
When | was sick, such tender care,
There, nore on earth can tell:
Unceasng, full of tenderness,
Yes, she does love me well.
i asked, what tribute shall pay:
She answered with much love;
Obey the Saviour here below,
And meet me up above,
God grant that while live, I may
Ny Mothers voice obey
To read the Bible, trust my God,
And never cease to pray.
Yes, l should ever thankful be.
To her that's been kind
That taught my lispng lips to pray.
To tn Saviour OF Mankind.
Now she is old and feeble too,
Her journey soon will end
Soon will she hear her Saviour say:
Come up, join with your friends.
Her life la been life OF faith,
Her all to Christ's been given;
She need not fear when death does come,
Her soul will go to Heaven.
Should not then, lesson learn, ...-.--.
Aha walk by faith and love;
Live righteous, trust my all TO God,
And meet h.r up above,

How Gen. Paine was Taken Down.


About the time the cruel and blood
thirsty Gen. Paine was at the zenith OF
his famous career in Middle Tennessee,
he met with some gentleman at "the
festive board" in INT of the towns not
far from Tullahoma, then his hcadquar.
ters-perhaps Shelbyyille-and while
the party were trying, not a "Rebcl
bushwhacher," but some old Robert.
son county, a plain old countryman
from the vicinity, made his appearance,
and was invited to take a glass and give
the party a sentiment. He told them
he would drink with them but could
not give them q sentiment. The party,
Joined by Gen. Paine, urged him, but
he still declined and finally gave as a
reason that the sentiment he would pro.
pose might give offence to the General.
The latter assured him that it would
not, but the count-yman distrusted
Paine. After the most positive assur.
ance from Paine that no offensc would
be taken, let the sentiment be what it
would, the old countryman was pre-
vailed upon to give his sentiment. Ia.
king the proffcred glass, he gave with
much deliberation-
There is Il land Of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign;
u heaven or both black and white,
And a hell for General Paine"
This touched Paine in a tender pace,
md notwithstanding his promise, it
was all his companions could do to
keep him from striking the old man he
had induced to utter his honest convic
tons about him The cruel scoundrel
could not bear to be twittcd in that way.

WESTERN SIMPLICITY.

Western simplicity-not greenness.
but genuine candor and characterize
to be seen in the following incident, fur
nished sometime since by Western
writer:
In a wild Western neighborhood,
where the sound of the church going bell
had never been heard, notice was given
that the Rev. Mr.. A, a distinguished
Presbyterian divine, would preach on a
certain day.
After the service had begun raw
boned hunter, with rifle in hand and all
the accoutrements of the chase about
him, entered and took the only vacant
seat--a nail keg without either head
The current of the preachers thoughts led
him into description of heaven and its
inhabitants. With great power he had
drawn picture of the habitation of the
blessed, and was assigning each of the
patriarchs, prophets and apostles his ap-
propriate place. His Calvanistic tsnd-
encies led him to reserve the Apostle
Paul for his climax. With his eye fixed
upon the highest point, and with an up
ward gesture that seemed to be directed
to the loftiest attitude of the heavenly
places he said.
Sand where, my brethren, shall we
seat the great Apostle of the Gentiles ?
where, l say, shall we place the Apostle
Paul?"
Then pausing, to give the imagination
time to reach the elevation designed for
the Apostle, he fixed his eyes upon our
hero of the rife. He, therefore, think
ing the address personal, rose instantly,
and then replied:
off he can't do no better, he can take
my seat"
1t is needless to say that that climax
was never reached.

Judge, out Of patience.
Snow, you've done it-now you've
done itw yelled the sheriff. There was
no standing this; the court, bar and by

perfect surprise and dismay to the sheriff

A HAPPY WoMAN.-Is she not the
very sparkle and sunshine of life? A
woman who is happy because she can't
help it, whose smiles even the coolest
sprinkle of misfortune cannot dampen ?
Men make terrible mistake when they
marry for beauty, for talent, or style
The sweetest wives are those who possess
the magic quality CT being contented un-
der any circumstance. Rich or poor
high Or low, it makes no difference, the
bright little fountain ofjoy bubbles up
just as unsteady and purely in their
hearts. Do they live in log cabin; the
fire that leaps upon its humble hearh
becomes brighter than the splendid gid
ed chandeliers in Aladdin's palace
When is the stream Of life SO dark and
unpropitious that the sunshine Of a hap
Ply smile falling on the turbid tide will
not awaken an answering CLEAN Why
these joyous tempered people don't know
half the good they do
