TIRED MOTHERS.

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so much to bear
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
FROM underneath a thatch of tangled hair
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
of warm, moist fingers, holding yours SO tight
You do not prize this blessing over-much,
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessedness A year ago
l did not see it rs do to-day
We are so dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now it seems surprising strange to me,
That while | wore tho badge of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that Brought me only good.
And if, some night, when you sit down to rest
You miss this elbow from your tired knee;
This restless, curling head from of yoAr breast
This lisping tongue that chattcrs constantly;
If from yoar own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into their grave had tripped,
L could not blame you for your heartache
then!
l wonder so that mothers ever fret
AT little children clinging to their gown
Or that the footprints, when tho days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
If l could md n littlo muddy boot,
Or cap. or jacket on my chamber floor;
If | codld Kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my homo onco more;
If | could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content thar |.
But ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumbled by shining head;
My singing birding from its nest is flown;
The little boy l used to kiss is dead

is at your disposal. 1t is my gift, and
valued at three thousand year."
Pen cannot describe the joy with which
this kind offer was accepted.
The day of deliverance had come.
On the following morning the cash ier
entered the store of Hunter & Warner,
and enquired for the head clerk. He
came obscquiously.
"Sir, said the cashier sternly, "is that
n bad note ?"
"G-I think not, sir" stammeringly
replied the clerk.
The cashier went to the door. From
his carriage stepped young girl and her
fnther.
" did you not tell this young lady that
the note was counterleit2 And did you
not SO far forget self respect and the in
terest of your employers as to offer an
insult2"
The man stood confounded- dare
not deny-he could say nothing for him
self.
"lf your employers keep you sir, they
will no longer have my CUSTOM" said the
cashier sternly. "You deserve to be
horse whipped, sir"
The firm parted with their unworthy
clerk that day, and he left the store dis
gnced, and punished justly.
Alice Locke became the daughter Of
the good cashier. All of which grew out
of calling genuine bill counterfeit.
