.Ths Old wom.n.s

Once she was Mother ana it was
Mother, Pm hungryn Mother, put up
my dinner and Mother, y with loving
hands would spread the butter and stow
away the luncheon, and sew on the great
patch, her heart brimming with aaffee-
tien for the imperious little curly pate
that made her SO many steps and nearly
distracted her with his boistereus mirth.
Now she is the "old woman, y but she
did not think that it would ever come to
that. She looked OH through the future
years, and saw her boy TO man hood grown;
and he stood transfgured in the light of
her own beautiful love. Never wasthere
q 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 strength for daily toll that
his slender form was all that upheld her
over the brink of dark despair, She
only knew how she loved the child, and
felt that amid the mist Of age, his love
would bear her gently through its ifirlni-
ties to the dark hall leading to the life
beyond. But the SOD has forgotten the
tender ministration now. Adrift from
the mooringsof home, he is cold, SELFISH
heartless, and ssMother" 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 furrowed cheek.
