RESISTING THE EVIL ONE.

At camp meeting not long ago, II man
clad in II thin linen suit seated himself on
one OF the riclety benches beside fat man
who occupied fully one-thrd of the concern.
When the services We're ended the Fat man
arose, and the gentleman in thin linen sud-
denly began twisting about IN II surprising
manner, while his countonancc was sgnili-
cant Of mortal agony.
His actions attracted the attention OF the
brethren, and one of them, II solemn visagcd
Individual, who looked us though he had
just swallowed pill, approached the wrth-
ing body, and laid his hand Oh the mans
shoulder and said -
Brother, If you are resisting the prsmpt-
ings of tho evil one strive manlully and you
will triumph mt last, Remember that Jacob
wrcstled with the angel and
II dunno but he did, interrupted the ago
nizcd man. "but ii Jacob had the seat of his
trousers aud little Of his meat caught in y
condemned crack. he wouldn't feel like rls-
elm with an angel or any other crtter."

THE RIGHT OR LEFT ARM ?

The question, whether II gentleman walk
ing with u lady should give her his right or
left arm. Is frequently discussed. Custom
and written etiquette are rather in favor of
the right, although there are excellent rea-
sous in behalf of the lett arm. Either one or
the other, permanently retained. is vastly
better than the awkward and absurd habit
OF changing arms, SO ~ to place the lady on
the inside of the promenade. Ono advantage
of giving the left arm is that the person on
the right naturally take. the lead, SO that, in
the country or city, in the street or park, he
thus readily directs the way, instead of wait
ing to consult with his companion, or catis-
ing II jOstling by each Of them trying to move
to opposite points. Another advantage Is,
that in II crowded thoroughfare, such rs
Broadway for example, where the sidewalk
is invariably encountered with merchandise
and throngod with people, II gentleman needs
his right arm To remove distractions aud
keep rude or careless folks out of the way.

DEAR MOTHER.


/ locked my hand in hers, and said,
"Let mo go with her through this dark
For all the good and III Of life
Has touched us with the solf-same mark.
Some bitter pains | comprehend,
But not the absence of her love,
Whose deep, unGailng tenderness
Would any lighter fiiend reproyo."
I called her-hut the motherlook
Was blotted out in deaths eclipse;
And, vaguely desolate, / shrank
Before those altering eyes and lips.
o God since ever could speak,
My voice had fallen on faithful ears;
Twas "Mother!" in my triumph hour,
And Mother" in my time Of tears.
saw her going from my grasp
Beyond the boundaries VI time
beyond the life her soul had made
Through love and suffering sublime.
l could not shield, nor share, nor save;
She drifted dcathward all alone;
Her heart insensate to my pain,
Her ear unheeding of my moan.
Yet mother-love, raIe mother-love,
Responsive in the throes of death
The soul triumphant over clay,
Was victor Of her latest breath.
Sudden into her darkened eyes
Flashed love and memory ut the last;
And then the spirits radiance set,
And the dear face was overcast.
Only the shell that held the seed;
Only the casket Of the gem;
But all the bitterness for us,
And all the victory for them!
For US, the d.ep, slow-closing wound,
For Ms, the haunting pain Of years.
The dull, vague, aching sense OF loss,
Alternate with our passionate tears.
nor yet the creed Of faith can fill
This bitter want, these empty arms;
1t will not soothe me now to know
That she is locked from life's alarms.
For when sec this pale, strange face,
So like, yet so unlike, her own,
! only feel that she Is gone,
And must learn to live alone.
