MoTHER.-Around the idea of ones
mother the mind of man clings with fond
affection. 1t is the first dear thought
stamped Upon our infant hearts, when
yet soft and capable of receiving the
most profound impressions, and all the
after feelings are more or less light in
comparison. Our passion and our will
tulness may lead us far from the object
of our final love we may become wild,
head-strong, and angry at our counsels
or oppositions ; but when death has still
ed her monitory voice, and nothing but
calm memory remains to recaptulate
her virtues and good deeds, affection, like
Hover beaten to the ground by rude
storm, raises her head and smiles amid
her tears. Around that idea, as we have
said, the mind clings with fond affection
and even when the earliest period of our
loss forces memory to be silent, fancy
takes the place of remem brance, and
twines the image Of our departed parent
with a garland of graces and beauties,
and virtues which we doubt not that she
possessed.

CHI AR 1T v.

When you meet with one suspected
Of some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected,
As a thing of evil fame.
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of heartleSs blame,
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may spoil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin,
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain?
Or look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth againY
There are spots that bar no flowers
Not because the soil is bad;
But the Summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad.
Better have an act that's kindly,
Sometimes treated with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the innocent to pain.

A THOROUGHLY French story reaches
us by private letter from AIsace. The
writer says: We have found out one
very nice way Of annoying our oppress-
ors. Very many of the Prussian officers
have little white dogs. We catch these
little white dogs and color their heads
and shoulders red and the hind-quarter RS
blue, leaving white streak in the middle,
thus joining the French colors, red, white
and blue. Then we let the little dogs go,
and get around and hear the Prussans
swear. 1t makes them very angry in
deed,n

who paused and addressed man com

And decidedly self possessed was the
man thus addressed in the presence of an

A NEAT BIT OF SLEIGHT-oF- HAND
In Chicago, few days ago, an unknown
man went into prominent banking
house to purchase some United States
bonds. He was followed by couple of
sharpers, who, observing his verdant ap-
pearance, concluded he would fall an
easy victim to their Vaccinations. The
seeker after bonds stated his business,
and placing 5000 on the counter was Civ
en- in exchange bonds having face val
ue of $3.50. On receiving his securities
he requested an envelope in which to en-
close them, which was given him. One
OF the sharpers then approached the tel
Ter, and after asking what '67's were sell
ing at, requested an envelope. His re-
quest being complied with, he removed
copy of the Chicago Times from his
pocket and placed it, unobserved, in the
envelope. Then reaching in his vest
pocket piece OF money was dropped on
the floor, and tapping the greeny" on
the shoulder, said, d" You dropped some
thing" The trick took, and the bond
purchaser, STOPPING to regain possession
of his wealth, naturally laid the envel-
ope of bonds on the counter, the rascally
sharper in the meantime exchanging
packages and lighting out" 1t was
some minutes before the loss was discov-
cred, by which time the thieves, with
their spoil, were well out OF sight. And
the highest price ever given for single
copy of newspaper was paid by the
verdant gentleman.

INTER- ST ON A BANKRUPT's AC-
ocUNTs.-Proceedings in bankruptcy
have SO increased of late that important
points are daily coming up for decision.
One important inquiry is, where bank
rupts estate leaves surplus over and
above the debts proved against it, are
the creditors entitled to interest up to
the ate of payment? This poiut was
years ago submitted to the courts. which
decided that "such interest is allowable
and should be paid up to the date of
the payment of such claims respectively.
There is nothing in the bankruptcy act
that would seem to prohibit such pay
ment when there are sufficient funds in
the hands of the assignee to do so.'
This is said also to be the rule of the
English law.

Monopolies: being full aud authentic
account Of the struggles of the Ameri-

Patrons of Husbandry, its objects,
present condition and prospects, to
which is added Sketches of the Leading
Grangers. By Edward Winslow Mar
tin. illustrated with 60 Fine Engrav-
ings and Portraits of Leading Grapgers.
We have received specimen pages of
the above entitled work from the Ma.
tional Publishing Company, Philadel-
phia, who want agents to canvass for
subscribers tc this valuable book. We
append short extract from the speci-
men pages:
Few things have been 80 remarkable
in the wonderful growth of the Ameri.
can Republic as the increase and expan-
sion of its railway system. A compara-
lively young man finds no difficulty in
remembering the time when the only
means of communication between the
various parts of the Union were the
cana! boat and the stage coach. Halt a
century has witnessed the wonderful
growth of the American railways. 1t
has also witnessed tho gradual change
Of the system. which was designed to be
a lasting benefit to the Republic, into
one of the greatest dangers which now
threaten its existance.
We propose to trace in these pages
the growth Of the railway system of the
country, and to present to the reader a
statement of its present condition, in
order that he may the better appreciate
the grave danger with which this i'm.
mense system threatens the land.
1t was not until 1926 that capitalists
became satisfied of the value of the
railway as a means Of communication
between distant points. The first road
of this kind in America was a mere
tramway for the transportation of
granite from the quarries at Quincy to
the Neponsett River, In Massachusetts,.
The total length of the road was about
three miles. 1t terminated at the quar-
ries in a seif-acting inclined plane. 1t
was built upon granite sleepers, seven
and a halt feet long, laid eight feet
apart. The rails were laid five feet
apart, were of pine, a foot deep, and
covered with an oak plate, and this with
fiat bars of iron. The cars we're drawn
by horses.
In January, 1927, a second road was
begun, and completed IN May of that
year, from the coal mines, at Mauch
Chunk, Pennsylvania, to the Lehigh
River, distance of nine miles. "From
the summit within half mile OF the
mines the descent to the river was 9S2
feet, of which 225 feet were included
in e self-acting plane, and twenty five
feet more in shute by which the coal
was discharged into the boats. The re-
mainder was in continual descending
grade, down which the loaded wagons
ran By gravity, one of them being ap-
propriated to the mules by which the
empty wagons were drawn back. The
rails were of timber, laid on wooden
sleepers and strapped with fiat iron."

FRUIT PRosPEcTs.-The fruit pros
poets, SO far as the life Of the fruit buds
is concerned, seem very good this season;
but Mr.. Manning, who is the chairman
of the Fruit Committee of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, aud one
of the most intelligent fruit culturists in
the Union, has well shown in the last
Massachusetts, report that mere winter
temperature plays but a minor part in
the annual fruit show. Of course, when
it kills the buds on the branches there is
an end of fruit for that season; but after
it lets the buds get through, it merely
gives them into the hands of other
natural forces, which take their turn in
obstructing productiveness.
1t is no uncommon thing to have
peach and apple orchards perfect sheets
of bloom, and yet hardly fruit follow.
All we can say at present of fruit pros.
poets is that the buds have not been
killed, and this, SO far, is in favor of
good fiuit crops.

THE LEGAL-TENDER CIRCULATION.
The Ways and Means will call up in
Congress on Monday the bill to declare
in force the law authorizing the issue OF
S400,000,O00 legal tenders. In this
way they avoid passing upon the legality
OF Secretary Richardson's issue OF legal
tenders. They intend to push it
through under suspension of the
rules il they can get two-thirds to vote
with them, Though debate and amend
ments are not in order on the Monday
motion to suspend, the committee propose
to allow a short debate, not to continue
beyond the days session, and allow two
amendments to be offered, one to pro.
pose calling IN Mr.. Richardson's issue,
and make the limit three hundred and
ifty.six millions, and the other to fix
the limit at the present issue, three hun.
dred and eighty-two millions The op-
ponents of imitation object strongly to
this summary proceeding, believing that
the House ought to give the subject a
thorough discussion, aud that initiation
would lose by debate.
