judge, being a newcomer, and not know
ing the peculiarities and failings Of the man,
imposed severe punishment on him for
contempt OF tho court. Some Of tho law
yer's friends stated the case to his honor and
tho punishment was remitted on condition
that he should publicly apologize to the
court. lie was accordingly brought up the
following morning, and made amends by
saying

MOTHERS BOYS.

Yes, know thero are stains on my carpet,
The traces Of small muddy boots
And see your fair tapestry, glowing
All spotless with blossoms and fruits.
And know that my walls are disHgurod
With prints Of small fingers and hands,
And 1 soc that your own household wilderness
All fresh in Its purity stands.
Yes, know my ''black WALNUT is battered,
And dentcd by many small heels,
While your own polished stairway, oil perfect,
It's smooth, shining surface reveals.
And know that my parlor is Uttered
with many odd treasures and toys
While your own Is in daintiest order,
Unframed by the presence Of boys.
And know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours OF the day;
While you dream in your own unmolested,
And dream the son quiet away.
Yes, know have jackets that wear out,
And buttons that never will stay;
While you can embrOider at leisure,
And learn pretty arts Of crochet"
And know there are lessons of spelling,
Which must be patient TO heari
While you may sit down to your novel,
Or turn the last magazine near.
Yes, know there arc four little bedsides
Where l must stand watchful each night;
While you may go out in your carriage,
And fash in your dresses so bright.
Now, think Pm q neat little woman
like my house orderly, tooi
And I'm fond Of all dainty belongings
Yet would not change places with you.
Noi-keep your fair home, with its order,
It's freedom from trouble and noisei
And keep your own fanciful leisure,
But give me my four splendid boys
