TIRED MOTHERS.

little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has much to bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch Of tangled hair,
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours so tight
You do not prize this blessing over-much,
You almost are too tired TO pray tonight.
But il is blessednessi year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We are so dull and thankless (; and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now il seems surprising strange to me,
That, while wore the badge of motherhood,
did not kiss 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 on your breast,
This Hsping tongue that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dirnpIed hands had slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again
II the white feet into the grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartache. then
I wonder so that mothers ever fret,
At little children clingiug 10 their gown;
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frowu.
II could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor;
II could kiss rosy, restless foot,
And hear its pstter in my home once MORE

She was more bIissfully content than 1.
But all the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by shining head
Ny singing birding from its nest is flown,
The little boy used to kiss is dead!

formances were limited TO few strains
from the organ, played upon the en-
trance and departure of the wedding
party, but now the composition of the
musical selection has become one of the
great questions connected with the re-
Iipious ceremony of marriage. The
church at the same time Is handsomely
decorated and brilliantly lighted, and,
with all these elegantly dressed ladies
conversing in low tones behind their
fans, the gentlemen walking about ex-
changing smiles and recognition, almost
resembles a saloon where some acting
charade is being performed, in which
young man dressed in black, and
vounp woman dressed in white, repre-
sent two beings whose fates are to be
united. When the ceremony is com
pleted, few hurried congratulations
are offered, and the ladies leave by the
great door of the church, where the
carriages. summoned 10y the shouts OF
the attendant foot-men, await them
while the gentlemen, indulging IN most
worldly conversation, scrutinize at lei
sure the toilets and salute the wearers.

and of our own country with such quasi
representatives as Pomeroy, of Kansas,
and the western Mr.. Jones, who paid

CASTELAR,, in the course of II conversation
with several prominent deputies, de-
ciared that those were his best friends
who were endeavoring to relieve him of
the responsibility of governing the
country. But much as he wished for
this relief, he would not swerve from
the programme laid down by him, but
would continue to employ all military
men In the army as occasion required,
no matter what might be their political
creed or their antecedents. The Presi-
dent took the opportunity of stating his
programme to be: l. Reorganization of
the army and complete retoration of its
discipline. 2. Settlement of the dispute
with the cantonal governments, which
was now NEARLY at an end. 3. Finish
ing, or at least. contracting to the mar

that nothing more and nothing less

Welck, twenty-three years old, and be-
longs to the Sixty-fourth Regiment. He
step,,ed actoss the line with the utmost
nonchalance, and muttering against the
weather certain exclamations in direct
contravention of the imperial military
discipline. Tho sole civilian spectators
at the line were two Frenchmen, one in
a gray and the other in blue blouse.
As Welck strobe past the French specta-
tor In gray stopped, picked up a flag
staff, unfurled the tricolor, and waved it
sloft. with shout of 'sVive la France!"
In which he was joined by the blue
blouse, General Manteuffel, who was
standing Just inside the boundary line
and to whom the shout was apparently
addressed, then rode away. Already
French soldiers stood Oh the frontier
line, as the German commander turned.
Gendarmes, who had been concealed in
adjacent woods. pushed on in double col
umns to intercept the Germans in case
they should change their minds and at
tempt to recross. But they did not.
