TENDER NESS.

Let any one endeavor to recall the
image of u fond mother long since in
Heaven. Her sweet smile and ever
clear countenance are brought viyidly
to recollection. So also is her voice,
and blessed Is that parent who is en-
lowed witha pleasing utterance. What
Is it that lulls the infant to repose? 1t
is no array ofmere words. There is no
charm to the untaught one in letters,
sylables, and sentences 1t is the sound
which strikes its little ear, that soothes
and composes it to sleep. A few notes
however unskillfully arranged, If ut
tered in soft tone, are found to possess
a magnetic influence. Think we that
this influence is confined to the cradle
No tits df'used through every age, and
ceases not while the child remains un-
der the paternal root.
Is the boy growing rude in manner,
and boistrous in speech ? know of no
instrument so sure to control these ten
dencIes as the gentle tones of a mother.
She who speaks TO her son harshly does
but give to his conduct the sanction OF
hero example. She pours the oil on
the already raging flame.

NO MONEY FOR A rHUNDER1Ns ROD

AT parish meeting in one of the
towns in the interior OF Pennsylvania,
where new meeting house had just
been erected, the question was ayitated
With ;pect to having lightning rod
put up. Opinions were freely inter-
changed, andthe project seemec TO meet
with general favor, until an influential
and wealthy old German thus let him
self swing; giving uttetanee 70 arather
novel statement, one not in accordance
with the generally received opinion of
the established laws of Nature and
Providence:
"Now, gentlemens, ! tells you vat l
tin6s. l links we hash beens to much
trooble and expensh, and none has gin
tollars more as to build church for te
Lord, and next Sunday we gives it to
him, and if he will doander down his
own house, den says, let him ounder
gives no vote nor monish for
doundering rod J"
This m,tltum in parUo speech proved a
settler of the question, the enterprise
was abandoned, Che meeting was adj
journed sine die, and the worthy parish
oners harmonized beautifully over q
glass of lager, at the village inn.

A MASONIC PIN.

A good story is told of confident in
dividual, evidently we'll 'read up in the
mysteries, who applied at the outer re-
ception-room of the Boston Masonic
Lodge for admission. An eminent
brother who was quietly sitting there.
but who made no sign that he was any
body, requested the stranger TO be seat
ed, and he would send in for proper per-
sons to examine the credentials OF the
visitor.
o, it's no matter about that; I'm all
right, said the applicant, ma king sun
dry extraordinary passes with his hands
and contortinnS of visage.
That may be, bus think they always
examine strangers who desire to visit
the lodge, said the attending brother.
Well, Pm ready for 'em, said th1 visi-
tor confidently. -
Glad to hear it-- that is quite an elabo-
rate breast pm you have there, said the
other, looking with some interest at a
big gilt letter c., which the visitor had
conspicuously displayed upon his shirt
bosom. H&
Yassa, that's a Masonic pin, replied
the wearer, swelling out his breast.
Indeed Letter G--well | suppose you

A DAY WITHOUT A NIGHT.

One night in July we landed on the
shore of a northern ford in latitude 90
degree north. We assembled cliff
which rose 1000 feet above the level of
the sea. 1t was late, hut still sunlight.
rhe Artic ocean stretched away in ST.
lent vastness ut our feet. The sound of
its waves scarcely reached our airy
lookout. Away i'll the north, the huge
old sun swung around along the hori-
zon like the slow, measured beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock in our grand
father's corner. When both hands
came together at II, midnight, the full
round orb hung trilmphantly above the
wave--a bridge of gold running due
north spanned the water between us
and him. There he shone in silent ma
jesty, which knew no setting. We in
voluntarily took off our hats; no word
was said. Combine, il you can, the
most brilliant sunrise and sunset you
ever saw, and its beauties will pale be-
fore the most gorgeous coloring which
now lit up the ocean, heaven and noun
tain. In half an hour the sun had
swung up'perceptibly on it's beat. the
colors changed to those ofthe morning,
fresh breeze rippled over the ford,
one songster after another piped up in
the grove behind us--we had sid into
another day.-Letter from Nor,rdy.

THE OLD woMAK."

Once she was "Mother," and it was
"Mother, I'm hungry" "Mothe., mend
my jacket" Mother, put up my dinner,
and @Mother," with her loving hands
would spread the bread and butter, and
stow away the luncheon and sew on the
rcat patch, her heart brimming with
affection for the imperious little curly
pate that made her so many steps and
nearly distracted her. with his bolster
Gus mirth.
Now she is the sold woman;"bu she
did not think it would ever come to
that. She looked ON through the future
wears and saw her boy to manhood
grown; and he stood transfigured in the
light of her own beautiful love. Never
was there moi noble son than he
honored of the world, and the staff of
her declining years.
Ave, he was her support even then,
but she did not know it. She never
realized that it was her little boy that
cave her strength for daily toil-tIlat his
slender form was ali that upheld her
over the brink of dark despair. She
only knew how she loved the child, and
felt that amid the mists of age his love
would bear her gently through its in
firmities to the dark hall leading TO the
life beyond.
But Che son has forgotten Che mothers
tender ministrations now. A,lriit from
the moorings of home, he is cold, selfish,
heariless, and "Mother" has no sacred
meaning to the prodigal. She is 'the
old woman," wrinkled, gray, lame and
blind.
Pity her, o grave, and dry those tears
that roll down her fllrowed cheeks.

JAPANESE HERO.


There is story current among the
japanese which excites their warmest
admiration. tits told of Aidzu, the he
ro of the Tycoon's party, and who is
deemed by all che natives as the harvest
Prince in the Empire
A short time since he was attacked in
his own stronghold by large force OF
Satsuma's men. After some days fight
ing with uncertain result, the latter de-
manded truce, that they might go and
re olenish their commissariat, as they
had come to the end of their provisions,
but promising to return and continue
the fight. Aidzu replied that there was
no need for them to retire, as he would
supply their wants; and accordingly
sent them plentiful supply of rice,
sufficient for several days. Already a
hero in their eyes this act al most defied
them. The effect on his assailants seems
to have been prodigious and to have
given to the leaders an idea of the in
vincibility of such a man. They lett
without striking another blow.

THE CANARY EIRD AND THE MIRROR

A pretty incident is related of ca
nary bird III door of the birds cage
was occasionslly left open that he
might enjoy the freedom of the room.
One day he happened to fly upon the
mantle whereupon was mirror. Here
was new discovery of the most pro-
found interest. He gased long and Gu
rlously in the mirror, and came to the
conclusion he had found mate. Co
ing back to his cage he selected q seed
from the box, and brought in his bill as
an Offering to the stranger. In vain the
canary exerted himself to make his new
friend partake, and becoming weary,
he slept back a few inches from the
glass and pourd forth his sweetest notes,
pausing now and then for reply
None came, moody and disheartened
he flew back to his perch and hung his
head in shame and silance for the rest
ofthe day and although the door was
repeatedly left open he would not come
out again.
