MY MOTHERS SMILE.

The rosy blush has left the cheek,
Her voice is soft and low,
Her step is trembling, now, and weak,
Her locks are like tbs snsw,
: The mild blue eye no longer beams
With light; as sncs erewhile,
Yet sweeter than an angels seems
Ny gentle msther's smile |
Though wrinkled now. love to dwell
Upon her thoughtful face,
Where fingers more than beauty's spell
Or blush of youthful grace,
For there affection ever CLEANS,
And love that knows no guile,
And brighter than an angels seems
My dearest mothers smile
When far away, and thoughts Of home
Fill all my dreams, at night.
And mid bright angel throngs I rsam,
The first to come, the last to g,
l see her form Of light,
And fairest all the while,
1t greets me with heavenly glsw,
My tender mo theirs smile |
On earth, its light shall clear my way,
And sweeten all my care,
And, when death comes, its purer ray
Shall beam around me there,
And, when yield this mortal state,
This thought shall still beguile.
Twill be SO sweet, at heavens gate,
To meet my mother smile !

.Secu9,itN for the Future.


The first resolution of the Republican plat
form is a condensation of the history of the Re-
publican party since its advent to power in the
nation. 1t covers all the ground, embraces
every portion of its work, and is the history of
the country during the past eleven years.
Bold, fearless, intelligent and patriotic, this
grand Republican party presents the brightest
pages Of the worlds annals as the fruits of its
labors And with its wonted courage it bravey
says to the Republic it has so faithfully served
"this record ofthe past sthe party's best pledge
for the future. We bell I've that the people will
not entrust the government to any party or
combination of men composed partly of those
who have resisted every step OF this benefcent
progress" We do not believe the American
people are yet ready to turn over to the hands
of those who have resisted, with all their abili-
ties, every advance that has been made for the
promotion Of human freedom, the execution of
the laws and the aoatrol of the policies that
must make these projections 10 human rights
servicesble for these objects
They are not ready to leave the fate % the
18th Amendment to the good will of those who
pronounce it unconstitutional. revolutionary
and void" This would be to tanely submit
to its repeal. Nothing short OF the barest
cewaEdiee on the part of the Republicans Of
the land would induce them to stand by and
willingly permit its provisions to be nulifed.
Constitutions and laws Inexecuted are NULL
ties. They had as well DO stricken from tho
statute book When their execution as placed
in the hands of men who opposed the princ-
pies they were made to establish and the rights
they arc 10 protect, AMI who consider them
unconstitutional and are willing under any pre-
text to ignore and abFogete them, what securi-
ty have we that they will bs executed either
in letter spirit, or that the people and their
rights who they were made to protect Will be
at all res peetsd by them.
No one would employ "a man to teach his
children who was opposed TO educating the
rising generation. No sensible community
would s!eet man its sheriff who was opposed
to arrestng drives and highwaymen. No
people who know their duties and respecttheir
rights would confer dastsiat attorneyship
upon q man who is opposed to puaishing any
class OF iis criminals. The law as old as the
English lsngnage and rs firm as the bills for
bids any man 10 SIT "a JurOr upon murder
