A SPARTAN MOTHER. = The
mother of Charles Mortimer, who
was hanged at Sacramento, ought
to have lived in the days Of the
Spartans, for she possesses in an
eminent degree the qualities that
characterized that race. When
she learned that one son was about
to be hanged, and that a second
one had been killed while attempt
ing to rescue the first she uttered
not a word of complaint. She
sent a third son with friendly
greetings to the criminal and a
message to the Deputy Sheriff
who had killed her offspring, say
ing, II have no cause of anger.
You did your duty bravely and
deserve thanks :" Such spirit |
is remarkable in these days, when |
self seems in many instances to |
Mortimer's mother
deserves to be enrolled among |
unhonored heroines.-
