GREAT MEN.--An Oregon editor illus
trates the local idea of great men, by
stating. under the head of "Great men
coming to the 'front.'" that the proba-
bilities are that Henry Clay Dean, of
Missouri, and Oar. w. Voorhees,, of In
diana. will be elected Senators. Dean
can discount s' Beast Butler as q
black guard, and Voorhees, can beat
Zach. Chandler in drinking whisky.
If that is the character of the men who
are to be brought to the front by the
sDen,oeratie victories, we would rather
xIa satl4eseo3nefy wiah the present party
in power. 1t would certainly be no
improvement.

MOTHERS House. = How many are
the thoughts called up by these two
beautiful words. Is there, can there be
any place so full of pleasant places, be-
meath the waving palms of sunny isles.
or in the chilling shadows of icv noun.
tains? Our hearts turn with uncbarge-
able love and longing to the dear old
house which sheltered US in childhood.
Kind friends may beckon to newer
scenes, and loving hearts may bind us
fast to pleasant homes but we are not
satisfied with them alone, for there is
one place far more lovely than them all
and that is ''mother's house"
1T may be old and rickety 10 the eyes
of the stranger. The windows may be
broken and patched and the floor worn
and menaed with tin, but 1t is still
mothers house, from which we looked
out at life with hearts full of hope,
building wonderful castles in cloudland
whsch faded long ago; but, thanks to
the good Father, mothers house is left
us still and weary with the busy tur-
moil of life, weary of ourselves, we turn
our steps toward the dear house of rest,
and at its threshold lay our burdens
down.
Here we have watched life come and
go. Here we have folded still, cold
hands, over hearts as still, that once
beat full of love for us. Here we have
welcomed brothers and sisters into life
watched for the first lisping words from
baby lips, guiding the tottering feet
from helplessness to manhood, and
here we have watched with aching
heart to see the dear ones turn from
the home nest out into world which
has proved but snare and tempta-
ton to many wandering feet. And
her we gather strength to take up
our lives again and go on patiently to
the end. But though the world calls
us. and we may find friends good and
true, we turn to the dear old home,
when troubles came, for help and COM
fort. God grant that for us a there
may long remain a mothers house" !"
