she did not think It would ever come

future years, and saw her boy to
manhood grow; and he stood trans

Never was there more noble son
than he-honored of the world and
the staff of her declining years.
Aye, he was her support even then,
but she did not know it. She never
realized that it was her little boy
that gave her daily toll, that his
slender form was all that upheld heI
over the brink o: dark despair. She
only knew how she loved the child,
and felt amid the mists of age his love
would bear her through it's iniirmi
ties to the dark pail leading to the
life beyond.
But the son has forgotten the
mothers tender ministrations row.

COMING HON e.

by PHd:gE CARY.
10, brothers and sisters growing old,
| Do you all reinember yet
That home, In heshade ofthe rustling trees,
| Where once our household met?
| Do you know how we usd TO come from school
Through the pleasant summer heat;
With the yellow fennel's gold dust
On our little tired feet?
And how sometimes in an idle mood = = y
We loitered by the way;
And stopped in the woods TO gather flowers,
And in the field to play;
Til warned by the deep'ning shadows fall,
That told of the coming night,
We climbed To the top OF the last long hill,
And saw our home in sight?
And, brothers and sisters older now
Than she whose life is DER,
do you think of the mothers loving face,
That looked from the open door. -
Alas, for the changing things of time,
That home in the dust is low;
Ana That loving smile was hid from us,
Ia the darkness long ago!
And we come to life's last hill,
From which our weary eyes
Can almost look on the home that shines
Eternal in the skies.
SO, brothers and sisters as We go,
still let us move one,
Always together keeping step,
Till the march of life is done;
For that mother, who waited for us here, u
Wearing a smile sweet
Now waits on the hills OF paradise
For her children's comin. feet!

NEARER TO LIFE'S WINTER.
Nearer to life's winter, wife,
We are drawing nearer,
Memories OF our blessed spring,
Growing dearer, dearer.
Through the summers heats we've toiled
Through the autumn weather ~ - -s-..-
- We have almost passed, sweet wife,,
- Hand in hand together.
Time was hearts Were, Well as feet,
Lighter, l remember
April's locks of gold are turned
Silver this November.
Flowers are fewer than at first,
And the way grows clearer,
For unto lifes winter wife,
We are drawing nearer.
Nearer To life's end sweet wife
We are drawing nearer;
The last milestone ON the way,
8 10 our sight grows clearer. q E-F ~
Some whose hands we held grew faint,
And lay down la slumber;
Looking backward, We to-day,
All their graves may number.
flights we've sought we've failed To climb,
Fruits We've failed To gather;
But what matter since we've still

EMPLOYEES Debating TERMS TO
THEIR EMPLOYERS.

Tho tyranny of capital is to be repre-
'hended BY every one who has the bes
interests of society at heart. Monopolie.
that absorb the wealth of communitie.
and grind the face of the poor are the
sad results of such tyranny. But
because the rich and arrogant are dis
posed to enact Injustice TO the less for
tunate classes of society, no warrant
accrues to the man who accepts the
position of fairly paid laborer in Con-
spring with others of his class to
regulate the business in which be lie
hired as an assistant. A mans or a
compsny's money is its owners, to be
disposed of as be or they may elect.
Every macs house is his castle and
every mans mine is his own property,
subject to such lawful regulations as he
sees 6t to impose. No fair minded per-
son can eympathize with q movement
which denies these rights. One cannot
but denounce as impertinent aud mex
cusable the recent acts of the hired
miners of Grass Valley, California.
Commenting upon their proceedings,
the Nevada Transcript says:
A number of the Grass Valley miners
have formed a league, and united in pledge
not to use nor encourage the use of Giant
Powder under ground; not to use single
handed drilling hammers under ground
also not to work nor allow a man to labor
under ground for smaller sum than 50 per
day, and called . Miners Meeting, on
Saturday evening, May Is, 1869, at half past
seven o'clock, at Hamilton Hall, for the
purpose of doino something for the Protec-
ton of our Health
We learn from the National that the wages
of carmen and shovellers have for years been
from 81 50 to s. IS, and no attempt has
been made to change the wages of miners.
The use of Giant Powder is Endorsed by
number Of miners at the North Star and
other pieces, and the miners who work in
this movement would do we'll to ask them
selves what good they will accomplish. How
do they propose to prevent those who desire
to work rs mine owners wish, from doing SO
Any attempt at force would be madness, and
only result in bringing those who engage in
it to grief. So far as the protection of the
health of miners is concerned, We have no
doubt that every mine owner will zealously
but when it comes to regulating
wages and prescribing how mines shall be |
worked, they will be likely to object. At tue
North Star mine numbers of workmen have |
left, and others continued to work, thus re-
taining good situations. At the Empire
hundred or more have stopped work, and in
other places the miners are either quitting or
being discharged. The result is only a ques-
ion of time. No class of men regulate la
Dor or wages by force, and in the end all
such attempts signally fail. those who en-
gage in them being the greatest sufferers.
