A genutIful Song.

Messrs. Root & Cady, Chicago, have
placed on our table a copy Of n beautiful
and pathetic song and chorus, entitled /:
"Mothers Waiting for Her Children"
words by +. +. Rexford; music by James
X. Murray, the distinguished author Of
"Daisy Dean" etc.
We consider this the gem of "Mother
songs" So long as mother love endures
so long will mother songs be sung. Moth
er's love! Who can iathom It? What
will outlast It? 1t comes to us even from
the other life into which our loved ones
go, and tells US, as does this beautiful
song, that
"Mothes waiting, moth't's wa. ing, .t.
waipgftr her chdrcn on he ever peaceful shore.
where he soul is flled with rapture,
And the true hoart faln,s no more"
