a Mothers Death.

Few who have lost their "first and dearest
friend" can read the following with IN
moistened eyes:
Death comes an unsought guest to every
board, and at his special bidding some be-
loved one goes forth to his mysterious home.
Time and philosophy may teach resigua
ton unto hearts made desOlate by his com
ing but they can never ill the vacancy
therein, when she that was our mother no
longer casts halo about our darkened
hearth
a mothers place-so loved, so wor-
shipped-once empty must be forever So
A breast once panged by mothers death
no medicine can reach with healing.
No mind, however sacred, no heart, how.
ever hardened, can forget the gentle being
whose sufFerings begot his life.
A mother is truly our guardian spirit
upon earth. Her goodness shields and pro
tects; she walks with our infancy, our youth
and mature age-ever sheltering US with
her absorbing love, and ezpiating our many
sins with her blessed prayers.
And when our mother, with all her bur.
den of love, her angelic influence, her saint
ly care, ceases her beauteous life, how much
we lose of home, of happiness, of Heaven
no one can reckon, for our mother was none
but ours, and we only can know how holy
she was-how sacred her memory must al.
ways be.
But may we not borrow consolation from
the thought that our loss is Heavens gain
that surely one angel watches over US, eras
ing with grateful tears the records of cul
sin, and making easy our path to her, with
blessed and blessing prayers?

HOW THEY HAD HIM.

When 1 was young and tender too,
had to mind and had to do
Whatever mother bade me
She used to have walnut stick
Which kept me on the double-quick,
And that was where she had me.
When older grown, and quite beau
Among the girls, used to know
A Msis Priscilla Cadmy;
And with the help of smiles and mods,
fell in love at forty rods,
And there is where she had me-
When 1 was older, say sixteen,
thought it time to have queen,
And asked her if she'd wed me;
She said she didn't much object,
Or words to something that effect,
And there was where she had me.
But when to make the matter straight,
went up to negotiate
Affairs with Colonel Cadmy,
He said he did mt care to sell
He told me 1 might go to-well,
And that was whtre he had me.
l drowned my sorrow in the cup
Until got my dander uP,
couldn't have been madder;
When she proposed that we be one
In spite of pa-the thing was done,
And that was where had her.
Two lovely urchins on my knee
I'm proud to say, belong to me,
That is, to me and madam;
For when we left our native sod,
We spent year or two abroad
And there was where we had EN-.

Among the heroes who fell at Reichs-
hoffen are mentioned Colonel de Vassart
Count de Septeuil, the Marquis d'Espeuilles
and Couut Robert de Vogue, brother of
Count Melchoir, chief of the ambulances of
the society for succoring the wounded Af-
ter the combat the body of Count Robert
was recognized on the field of battle by
some Prussian officers who had known him
at Baden The Prince Royal being in
formed that Count Melehior was not far off,
sent for him and said in grave, sad tone,
" Monsieur, 1 have to announce some pain
full news to you. Do you comprehend 2"
{" Ny poor brother - exclaimed the French
gentleman. "Yes," replied the Prince, " he
has fallen as hero worthy of his name.
His body is there, Count You shall have
every facility for removing his glorious re-
mains"

Ministers in our day rarely object to an
increase of salary, but we find in an ex-
change a capital story of an old Connecticut
pastor who declined it for very substantial
reasons. His country parish raised his sal
ary from three hundred to four hundred dol
lars. The good man objected for three rea-
sons: First" said he, because you can't
afford to give more than three hundred.
Second, because my preaching isn't worth
more than that Third, because 1 have to
collect my salary, which has been the hard
est part of my labors among you. If
have to collect an additional hundred it will
kill me"

LUCK AND LABoR.-Many people com.
plain of their bad luck when they ought to
blame their own want of wisdom and ac-
tion. Golden, a distinguished writer in
England, thus wrote about luck and labor:
Luck is everything waiting for something
to turn up. Labor with keen eyes, and
strong WILL turn up something. Luck lies
in bed and wishes the postman would bring
him the news of legacy. Labor turns out
at six o'clock, and with busy pen or ringing
hammer lays the foundation of compe-
tence Luck whines Labor whistles
Luck relies on chances. Labor on char
acter Luck slips down to indulgence La
Dor strikes upward to independence.

COURTsHIP AND MARRIAGE IN East Ten
NEssEE-Nancy Bailey was widow of two
months mourning She was fair beyond
the usual fairness of her associates. Bill
Rogers was a comely, rough country youth
of about nineteen years of age. Nancy
visited the residence of Bills maternal par
ent, and luckily found her in the field and
Bill in the house. Nancy is to all intents a
practical business woman, and weRt to
work at once. Drawing a stool to Bills
feet, says she: "Bil Rogers, how d
you like to marry p Says Bill, in reply,
First rate" Says Nancy, Strengthening
herself up and throwing out her magnif-
cent chest: {" Bill Bogers, how do you like
them ?" Says Bill, Bully. Says Nancy,
&" Bill Rogers, get the license and they re
yours" Says Bill, "I'I have EN- or die "
| He was off on the moment for Sevierville,
for the license. But, alas Bill had Mt the
necessary sum when he reached the clerk 8
Office to procure the license. So he tramped
home again, and, without saying a word
took from its rack his rife gun, and left. Nc
one seems to know any further particulars
1t is known that Bill got the license, but he
brought no gun back with him. At L
o'clock at night Esquire Pickens wa:
called for, most implOringly, to perform the
marriage ceremonies, and he did 1t in {
most imposing form, before the brilliant
pine knot fire that bazed on the hearth, anC
in the presence of the select audience wht
had assembled.
After the vows had been made and tht
record rendered that they were man anC
wife, Bills first ejaculation was, Nance
we've had a hard time, but l told you II

When a young man goes astray, friends
gather round him in order to restore him
to the path of virtue. Gentleness and
kindness are lavished upon him to win him
back to innocence. No one would ever sus-
pect that he had sinned. But when poor,
confding girl is betrayed, she receives the
brand of society and is hencetorth driven
from the ways of virtue. The betrayer is
honored, respected and esteemed; but the
ruined heart-broken victim knows there is
no peace for her this side of the grave. So
ciety has no helping hand for herr no
smiles of comfort; no voice of forgiveness
There is deep wrong in them, and fearful
are the consequences.

AMUsING.-A young man who carried a
collection plate in service, before starting
took from his pocket a five cent piece, as he
supposed, put it on the plate and then
passed it around the congregation, which
included many young girls. The girls as
they looked at the plate all seemed aston
ished and amused, and the young man tax
ing a look at the plate, found that instead ol
nickel five cent piece, he laid a converse
tional lozenge on the plate, with the words
" VIII you marry me p in great big red let

Tomato Beer.

A Georgia correspondent of the Southern
Planter tells how to make tomato beer. He
says: Gather the fruit once week, stem,
wash and mash it. strain through coarse
linen bag, and to every gallon of the juice
add pound of good moist brown sugar.
Let it stand nine days, and tLen rour it off
from the pulp, which will settle in the bot
tom of the jar. Bottle it closely, and the
longer you keep it the better it is when you
want to use it. Take a pitcher that will
hold as much as you want to use-for my
family use a gallon pitcher-ill it nearly
full of fresh sweetened water, add some of
the preparation already described, and
few drops of essence of lemon, and you will
find it equal to the best lemonade, costing
almost nothing To every gallon of
sweetened water l add half tumbler of
beer
The Issue ILLUsTRArED-Two old friends
met few days ago and were about taking
a friendly glass in memory of better days,
when the following conversation took place:
Tom" Well, Dick, hear you are a
Democrat; can it be true p
Dick,-"Well Tom, I'm afraid I'll have to
plead guilty to the charge"
Tom.-"Wel, [ never would have be-
lieved it You and [ were old Wings and
have fought the Democrats for thirty years,
now for you to knock under and join them
looks curious enough"
Dick.-"Yes, Tom, it does look little
curious, but its only curious in looks
can't see where and the Democrats disa-
gree now in anything, and why should we
be enemies when it will take US all to save
the country. The truth is, Tom I've cast
the whole matter up in my mind and have
come to the conclusion that a man must
now be one of the three things: Radical,
Democrat, or a D-d Foo" ol."-SaUannaH
Republican.
