MY MOTHER.
BY JOHN BACCHUs.

Pve wandered far away, mother,
Far from my happy home.
Ana lett the land that gave me birth
In other climcs to roam;
And time since then has rolled his years
And marked them on my brow;
Yet still think of thee. mother
I'm thinking of the now.
When by thy gentle side. mother,
You watched my dawning youth,
And kissed me in your pride, mother,
Taught me the Word of Truth;
Then brightly was my soul lit up
With thoughts of future joy,
Whilst your bright fancy garlands wove
To deck thy darling by.
I'm thinking of the day, mother,
When, with such anxious caro-,
You lifted up your heart to heaven,
Your hope. your trust was there.
Fond memory brings the parting glance,
Whilst tears roll down my cheek,
TIL 1t last long loving look told more
Than ever words could speak.
am lonelyand forsakcn, mother,
No friend is near me now,
To soothe me with n tender word,
Or cool my burning brow
The dearest ties affection wove
Are NIL now torn from me,
They left me when my trouble came,
They did not love like thee.
! would not have thee know, mother,
How brightest hopes decay
The tempter with his baneful cup
Has dashed them all away;
And shame has left his venomd sting,
To rack with anguish wild,
Yet still, would not have thee know
The sorrows of thy child.
I've wandered far away, mother,
Since deserted thee,
And left thy trusting heart to break
Beyond the deep blue sea;
Yet, mother, still love thee well,
long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon my careworn check.
But oh there is thought mother,
Pervades my beating breast,
That thy bright spirit may have gone
To its eternal rest
And as wipe the tears away,
There whispers in my ear
"A voice that speaks of heaven. mother
And-bids me seek thee there

"Poor child!' he said, laying his
hand reverently on her head, as if mis-
fortune had rendered her sacred, cit
| is so. He has left you alone"
There was wild burst of grief in
that dingy pawnbroker's parlor, and
poor little Nellie Lee sobbed and fut-
tered like bird vainly beating against
the iron wires of it's cage. The old ar
fist was dead the wretched man, I'M
able to resist temptation, had expended
the money he had obtained from Levi
in drink, and was found by the police
in Washington Park, stretched on one
of the walks. He had killed himself
with rum.
For many hours my poor child was
distracted with her sorrow, and good
Mrs. Levi came down stairs, adorned
with unredeemed jewelry, and black
eyed Miss Esther, her daughter, was
also there, smelling of patcnouli, and
Levi himself was continually coming
in and out of the shop with bottles of
cologne for the child's temples, and
viniagrettes to hold to her nose. They
were all 50 kind and so gentle to nv
Nellie in this her great sorrow, that T
i'll OF pawnbroker again as long as L
lived.
But in time the tempest wore itself
away. Nellie came at last to listen to
the few words of consolation I cared to
utter; for [ am an unbeliever in verbal
anodyness and late that evening I
might have been seen sitting on the old
hair bottomed sofa with fair, round
face somewhat flushed with weeping.

and Miss Esther sat round the fire, and
occasionally turned round to admire us.
Need l go much further Need [ de-
scribe the quiet wedding where I vowed
to be true husband to Nellie Lee. It
would not interest you very much, for
there was no orange blossoms or brides
maids, and no receptions and German
cottillion afterward.
But [ may as we'll inform you that all
[ predicted has come to pass. I am
now industrious and independent.
Nellie is the dearest wife that ever wore

have no pecuniary object in doing so.
On an inlaid table in my drawing

belonged to the Rajah of Gundercool,
and was taken from the table by rela-
tive of mine in the Albicore Fencibles,
after the siege of that place. It is the
very identical chess-board which led to
my finding Nellie in pawn.

LudicrOuS Duel.

A Rome letter narrates the particu-
lars of a very ludicrous duel recently
fought there between a prince and a
plebian. The editor of the Capitale,
Sonzogno by name, and Red Republi-
can in politics, accused Prince Baldas-
sere Odescalchi, the James Gordon
Bennett of the italian capital, with
having started the Roman soup kitchens
for private speculation. The descend
ant of the old Hungarian Dukes de
Sirmie and the Siennoise Borgnese
Princes could not stand this charge,
and meeting Sonzogno, who is very
near-sighted, inthe street, the descend
ant ofdecades of Dukes had no difficulty
in boxing his enemy's ears. Sonzogno,
however, gave as good as he received.
He sprang on his antagonist and clawed
him as fercely as if he had been wild
cat. OF course nothing remained for
the Infatuated Liberals but vengeance
or death, and challenge was sent.
Sonzogno dashed off to fencing acad-
envy in order to fit himself to fight as
gentlemen do. The poor Princess
Odescalchi had to be informed of the
approaching event, as all the Princes
friends felt sure he would be brought
home can unpleasant damp corpse, D
as Mantelini said. The unhappy lady s
life has hung on thread for years, SO
the warning nearly killed her, and after
all the smoke she seemed likely to be
the only victim. They exchanged fires,
crossed swords, and then-embraced
One had his hair singed, the other his
wrist scratched. The affair was weaker
than the Princes soup.

Sumner and Webster.

In September, 1916, when he was
thirty-fve years old, and thought to be
a visionary and extreme young man,
highly educated, indeed, and perhaps
fitted for some literary professorship,
but wholly without political experience
or sagacity, and the very last man by
character, talents, and training to be a
political leader Of Massachusetts in the
grave public situation, he went one
September evening to Faneuil Hall with
all the famous Wing chiefs, and spoke
upon the duties of his party at the time.
The tone and character of the speech
may be supposed from it's conclusion,
which was that the Wing party should
demand the abolition of slavery. AS he
was ending, Mr.. Summer eferred to Mr..
Webster, then Senator, whom the meet
ing had hoped to welcome. He appeal
ed to him to lead the party in that great
demand. The time had arrived. The
duty was not to be avoided. It was the
question of the hour. ''By your plea
for the Un1on." said Mr.. Sumner, s'you
have justly won the name of Defender
of the Constitution. By the mastery
Oregon negotiation you have earned
another title, Defender of Peace. And
now" exclaimed the orator, with gener-
GUS fervor-" now add a higher title,
never to be forgotten on earth or in
heaven-Defender of Humanity" It is
easy to imagine the incredulous con-
tempt with which the old Wing chiefs
heard this appeal from the ardent tyro.
"He advise Webster! He, this morbid
theorist, instruct the most consummate
of American statesmen It is both
comical and disgraceful" Mr.. Sumner
sent copy of his speech to Mr.. Web
ster, and Mr.. Webster acknowledged it
in cool and polite note. He said that
he respected thecharacter and talents of
the orator, and wished him we'll. Then,
in his most Olympian strain, Mr.. Web
ster added 'In political affairs we
happen to entertain at the present mo-
ment difference of opinion respecting
the relative Importance of some of the
political questions of the time, and take
a different view of the line of duty
most fit to be pursued in endeavors to
obtain all the good which can be OBJ
tanned in connection with certain i'm
portant Subjects Which saw most
clearly, the consummate statesman or
the impracticable visionaly?'-George

Unfinished Still.

A babys boot, and a skein of wool,
Faded and soiled, and soft
Odd things, you say, and no doubt you're
right,
Round seamans neck this stormy night,
Up in the yards aloft.
Most like it's folly, but mate, look here
When first went to sea,
woman stood on the far-off strand,
With wedding-ring On the small, soft hand
Which chung so close to me.
My wife, God bless her! The day before
She sat beside my FOOT
And the sunlight kissed her yellow hair.
And the dainty fingers, def and fair,
Knitted baby's boot
The voyage was over 7 came ashore:
What, think you, found I there?
A grave the daisies had sprinkled white;
A cottage empty, and dark as night,
And this beside the chair.
The little boot, twas unfinished still;
The tangled skein lay near;
But the knitter had gone away to rest,
With the babe asleep on her quiet breast,
Down in the churchyard drear.

Grimalkin in the ShrOudS.

During the recent gales the scho oner
Eaglet lay in Tobermory harbor. In
furling the mainsail cat belonging to
the vessel, without the knowledge OF
the sailors, got rolled up, and while the
sail continued furled, it could not es-
cape from it's confinement. For23 days
the sail continued furled, and during
that time poor puss was close prison
er, without food or drink, and with only
very small quantity of air: When the
sail was unfurled the cat dropped out
in such weakly state that it could not
stand. The sailors nursed their favor
tie SO carefully that in a day or two it
was skipping about the vessel as if
nothing had happened.

HOW NELLIE WAS PAWNED.

[ don't share in the popular dislike
and contempt for pawnbrokers. [ look
upon the pawnbroker as most useful
institution. He charges high rate of
interest, to be sure but then look at
the pettiness of the sums he Will lend
He is accommodating [ may say uni
versal, in his charities. Nothing comes
amiss to him. He will disburse on the
security of a ring worth thousand
dollars, or pair of boots worth a dol
lar and half. Nothing is too small
for him, but no matter how valuable
the article is. he cannot be induced to
lend above certain sum upon it. This
is simply his caution. The article may
be stolen, or come by in some improper
manner, when, of course, he would have
to give it up. He simply protects him
self.
Rut my story.
There is certain side street running
across Broadway, which I will, with
your permission, call Chicory street.
Chicory street is not it's name, but as I
am about to relate some private matters
connected with it, it would not be either
delicate or judicious if I were to be
geographically correct.
La Chicory street resides gentleman
named Lazarus Levi, ESQ.,, whose spa
cious, old-fashioned house is the repos
e &ia1n Of
longing to numberless enlightened but
distinguished citizens Of the United
States. The lower story is fitted with
a glass front, and articles exposed to
view in the windows arebut dimly seen.
There are flutes with furnished keys
that have been silent for years. The
dust lies thick on each, for the lips that
blew them have been shrunk into mere
skin long ago, and the agile fingers that
ran over the holes are now loose bones,
that lie here and there, never to hang
together on earth again.
You can see all sorts of things in Mr.
Lewis window. California diamonds,
very rare banios, relics of disappointed
minstrels guns, silver tea-pots, now
black and discolored, limiting at terrible
domestic distressesi in somepoor fellow
home, and making you see the thin
wife stealing out at nightto raise money
on valuables to feed the children.

it often happens that I find myself the
slave of a sudden necessity for five
dollars. On these occasions L travel
round my room as NJ. Xavier de Moistre
may be supposed no have done in search
of some appropriate token OF esteem,
which I may convey to Mr.. Levi, IN or
der to induce him to advance the re-
quired sum. In this choice it is neces-
sary to exercise discrimination. For
instance, know it will never do to
present my stamped velvet waistcoat

Life in an Oasis.

In the oasis of Sinooris, in Egypt,
there are 104 towns with $50, 900 inhab-
itants. A missionary writing thence to
the Christian Register, says that most
of the inhabitants are cultivators of the
soil, though in this place there are
many weavers and dyers. The town of
Sinooris stands high, as if built upon a
huge mound. Nearly all the towns and
villages Of Egypt are thus located, and
are safe from the floods that surround
them in the overlooking of the great
river. Most of the dwellings, are one
story, made of sun-dried bricks, with
earth roofs, supported by beams cut
from the palm tree, and covered with
branches and leaves of the same, upon
which the earth is packed. [ saw but
two houses furnished with glass win
dOws. The streets are narrow and
filthy. The people are exceedingpoor,
and this although the district surpasses
all other parts of Egypt in fertility and
the varieties of it's productions and
richness of it's gardens.
Oppression comes to them daily with
itssternest demands. Taxation is suck
ing at the very vitals Of all classes.
Unable to pay their taxes the people
have given their lands, SO that the Vice
roy has now in his possession one hun
dred and sixty millions now under cul
tivation, leaving only forty millions
now in possession of the peasants. The
result is a most distressing state of
things among the people. the most
squalid restitution is revealed at every
turn. Men, women and children sleep
upon the bare earth without bed or
covering, and the majority without
even mat. A single dark blue tunic of
thin cotton is the only garment Of thou
sands by day, and their only covering at
night. Multitudes have not a change
of clothing, but wear the same garment
until it drops in rottenness from their
bodies..; of washings and cleansings
they know almost nothing These fall
laheens may have treasures buried in
the earth, or ornament their hair, ears
and noses with medals and gold rings,
but they can not be persuaded materi-
ally, to change their customs. Gold
does not wear out, they say g beds,
coverlets, sheets and the like do"
