For the ADVERTISER
MOTHER LOVE.
BY ". f. b. p.

"Mother, do mend nv kite. See
here, it's all broken, and Use not got
enough string -,
"Yes, dear, in moment l will,
answered the gentle mother to the
the querulous appeal of the curly
headed boy. The jacket was lain
aside, and the broken rib Of gorgeous
colored kite repaired, to the infinite
satisfaction of the pretty child.
"Mother, you are better than any
one else, and prettier too, and l love
you dearly"
1t was recompense enough for the
loving mother, as she piessed the
shining locks from the white brow,
and her cup was full to overflowlng
with the contentment of her mother
hood.
With tops to wind, and kites to
mend, the days heightened into years,
and manhood's seal was set upon the
boyish form.
She held lock Of bonny hair so
that the dying sunlight might shine
upon and crown it with a glory and
glow of richness. The hand that held
the little curl was wrinkied and old,
and shadows of silver were in the
dark braids of her shining hair. He
was not dead from whom she took
this lock of bright hair; but time
had wrought sad changes, and life
could give 10 her no greater sorrow
than his careless words and needless
will.
No more kites to mend, and the
hands that did the work in the old
days are not so fair and round. Other
faces have greater beauty than hers,
and other voices a need ct sweeter
sound to the curly headed lover of
wears agone. Lines of tender regret,
deeper than if born of tears, gathered
in the ewes and around the mouth, as
she held the little strands Of dark,
bright hair. She folded them up
tenderly, and put them where no
other treasures were. She folded
them close with loving hands, and
mayhap a tear was with them. Other
children had she to cheer her onward
pathway to the grave, but her ten
derest, most sacred love, had been
given to this one wayward son, the
straw lamb of the fold. He had fall
len into no great crime. but the moth.
er's heart yearned for the words that
she might never hear again from the
bright-eyed boy, or bearded lips of
her darling child. Mother, you are
better than any one else, and prettier
too, and l love you dearly" Too
manly now for that is the bronzed
man of the world, while the aged
mother holds longing hands to the
backward years of her life, and the
loving words that were once her all
sufficient crown.

1 PERrrous PERFORMANCE.

A PERIIoUs PERFORMANCE. =
Among the attractions at Barnum's
Hippodrome in New York, is the
French 'Queen of the Lofty Wire"
Mile. Victoria, who made her first
appearance Monday night. The lit
tie woman came out dressed in tights
and white satin waist with a pink
band. She first walked across the
wire, which was suspended at the
height of sixty feet, and then made
the return trip with her feet encased
in willow baskets of good size. Then
came her principal and most daring
act-that of riding across the wire On
a velocipede. Her vehicle was a
small one of two wheels, carrying a
little night.lamp in front. She took
her seat as if preparing for trip in
the park, and propelled the veloci-
pedc with her feet, holding the bal
ance- pole with her hands. She ran
across the wire quickly, while the
ring men below watched her anxious
ly, evidently expecting to catch her
in the net which they had spread for
her. Her part was soon over, and
she descended to take her seat in the
carriage and be carried out Of the
ring amid great applause.

The CURCULIo. Oneida COM
munity use the following plan to de-
stroy this pest: They take two long
double-width sheets and fasten small
bars of wood on tho ends of each.
At half-past four in the morning the
sheets are manned by four hands
Zone taking hold Of the sheets) who
pass under a tree, holding sheet on
each side, thus covering all the sur
face under the branches of the tree.
A fifth man, armed with six-foot
bat.ering cane; well padded at the
end, then gives the tree several sud,
den jars, which cause a shower OF de.
fective fruit, bugs, worms and flies Of
various sorts; together with our game,
the curcullo, to tall upon the sheets.
The operation is performed thus ear
ly in the day, because when 1t is
cool, The curculio is in a semi-torpid
state, and a slight jar looseps his hold
on the tree, and tnmbles him below
while too stupid to fly.
To KILL THE "CLuB. Thousands
of cabbage plants are lost annually
by the disease called the club. This
is caused by an insect which deposits
its eggs on the roots end the grub eat
ing into the roots, form the gall or
escresence known as the club. To
prevent this, the market gardeners
of London mix equal quantities of
SCOT, cow-dung and clay with water
enough to make them consistency of
paint. With this they puddle the
roots by dipping them il it before
planting.
FROG CUiTUnE.-Seth Green plo
poses frog culture for TODD: "We
have many stagnant pools about the
country, that are useless in their
present state, and believing there is
nothing made in vain, | do not know
of any other use for the,h than to
make them into frog ponds: l also
believe ii would make the man veal
thy who could raise a million frogs
and get them to market"
STRETCHES IN SHEEP. cortes-
pondent of the Maine Farmer says
stretches are caused bs sheep kept a
long time ON dry food. If We take
the trouble to haul load of hemlock
boughs for them, orgive them few
roots now and then, il will. in great
measure. prevent the disease. A ta-
blespoonfdl Of castor oil, will general
ly give relief, and soon effect a cure
under good treatment.
EARLY AND LATE PEAS IN SAME
DRlLL.-A writer in the "London
Gardeners Chronicle planted early
and late Peas in the same drill. The
early sorts, he says, came up first,
caught hold of the stakes, supported
the others till they got hold of the
same and the result was, that he had
a beautiful crop Of peas three weeks
before the late varieties were ready
to gather, thus giving double crop
off the same gr,und, and with the
same sticks. He recommends the
plan TO persons whose gardens are
rich; bit limited in extent.
For chafed shoulders in working
horses or oxen; wash with warm soft
water and CASTLE soap, and then dress
with crude petroleum. If liberated,
wash them with carbolic soap and ap-
ply petroleum afterwards. Ifpossi'
bic, let the horse rest for a few days.

A jury in Truckee, Cal, had been
out four hours when the judge sent
the sheriff to learn whether they were
going to agree. The sheriff put an
eye and then an ear to the key hole
of the room in which they were loca-

the judge, and together they opened
the door. On the table in the centre
Of the room stood a big bottle Of
whiskey, and around it the drunken
twelve were hilariously marching in
single file. The foreman carried on
his back a bass drum, upon which
the man behind him was pounding
Next came juror playing a snare

ARKANSAS MANS OFFENDED Hon.
oR.-The people OF Arkansas are
slightly addicted to taking ofense
without adequate cause. Recently a
gentleman, who was a stranger at
Little Rock, went to the desk OF one
of the hotels and asked if he could
buy postage stamp. The clerk re-
piled that he had none, whereupon a
bystander took out his pocketbook
and gratuitously handed the gentle
man number of stamps, telling him to
help himself. The stranger took two
of them, and thanking the gentleman
for his kindness, handed back the re-
mainder of the stamps and SIX cents
to pay for those he had taken. But
the pennies had scarcely been placed
in the hands of the other when he
flung them on the floor, and exclaim.
ed excitediy, eff you were not a id
fool, sir, you would know that an
Arkansian does not peddle postage
stamps" No apologies would be ac-
cepted, and the irate man strobe out
of the hotel muttering about his Of
Tended honor.

ALWAYS LovERs.-Married people
should treat each other as lovers all
their lives then they would be happy
Bickering and quarreliDg would soon
break off love afflirs; consequently
lovers indulge in such only to very
limited extent. But some people
men and women both-when they
have once got married, think they
may do just as they please, and it will
make no difference. They make d
great mistake; it causes all the differ
ence in the world. Men should grow
fonder and women more devoted at
ter marriage, if they have the slight
est idea of being happy as husbands
and wives. 1t is losing sight Of this
fundamental Truth which leads "

never think of breathing harsh word

and words of cheer for him when he

DRAWING FORA VERDiCT.-A Gu
rious way of reaching a verdict has
just been discovered in the case OF
Thomas A. Pike, the alleged wife
murderer, who was on Wednesday
found guilty of manslaughter at
Portland. After the jury retired it
was discovered that they stood eleven
for conviction OH a charge of man
slaughter, and one for conviction on
a chare of assault and battery. AT
ter some eight hours session and ear
nest discussion, it was agreed that
eleven ballots marked guilty" and
one ballot marked "not guilty" should
be put into hat, and the juror in IA
vor of conviction for assault and bat
terry was to draw one. If he drew
the ballot mot guilty. the YER
dict was to stand as it was, eleven to
one; but if he drew guilty the
verdict of convection for manslaughi
ter was to be rendered. He drew
the latter, and the verdict was so rem
dered. The matter being brought
to the nutice of the court. the YER
dict has been set aside and new hi-
al ordered.
