TO ADA.

ssplesse write me letter. uncle dear,
On this my birthday-twenty-hr first year
Of life to me, 30 bright and 90 clear
From ali the trouble, the cares and strife,
Alas, too often no very rife
In all the paths Of this worldly life."
Surely, Ada. . letter I'll write.
And wish that all thy days may be bright,
And never cloud to dim their light.
That, o. now, thy life may ever be
From care and sorrow forever free,
And joys alone ever come to thee.
Forget not that the power will rest
with thee to choose what is right and best,
Though Oft 'tis hard must be confessed,
But easier IL becomes each day,
Az idle fancies are thrown swsy,
Knowing they're only idols of clay.
Ada, this life is not all dream,
Nor yet are our lives all that they seem.
But . faithful life will serve to redeem
Many fault that seems grave to-day
Beneath the warmth of the brighter ray
The clouds will vanish and pass away.
May thy birthdays always, Ada dear,
Be bright and happy without tear.
Is my prayer for thee each coming year.

THE OLD FASHIONED MOTHER.

Thank God, some Of US have an
old-tashoined mother, not a woman
OF the period, enameled and painted,
with her great chignon, her curls
and bustle, whose white jeweled
hands never felt the clasp of baby
fingers; but a dear, old fashioned,
sweet voiced mother, with eyes in
W ose clear depth the love light
shone, and brown hair just threaded
with silver, lying smooth upon her
faded cheek. Those dear hands,
worn with toll, gently guided our
tottering steps in childhood and
smootbed our pillow in sickness,
ever reaching out to us in yearning
tenderness. Blessed is the memory
OF an old fashioned mother. 1t floats
to US now like the beautiful perfume
from some wooded blossoms. The
music of other voices may lie lost,
but the enhancing memory OF her
will &C no in our souls forever. 9th
or faces may fade away and be for
gotten, but hers will shine on.
When in the fitful pauses Of busy
life our feet wander back to the old
homestead, and, crossing the we'll
worn threshhold, stand once more
in the room so hallowed by her pres
ence, our dependence comes over us
and we kneel down In the molten
sunshine, streaming through the
open wlndow--just where long years
ago we knelt by our mothers knee,
lisping, "Our Father" How many
times, when the tempter lured US on,
has the memory of those hours, that
mothers words, her faith and
prayers, saved US from plunging
into the deep abyss of sin. Years
have filed great drifts between her
and US, but they have not hidden
from our sight the glory Of her pure
aud unselfish love.

Hetty did accept the position and

manner which shocked Mrs. Bland

Hetty was no better than she should

stockings or nursing the baby while
he was off to amuse himself.
Mr.. Blandford knew nothing of
MIR. Parton, he supposed him to lie
respectable, but feeling it his duty to
remonstrate with Miss Hetty, he
waited his opportunity.
Hetty slept in peace till morning
and began with the daylight only To

MIDNIGHT MASS IN TIE PENAL DAYS

The candles are lit in the lonely glen.
The priest is vested. the clerk is there;
| a stone for an altar. and women and men
! Are gathered around in the mi might air;
| Gathering up from the spreading vale,
Gathering down from the nieuntai in pass.
This Christmas Eve. none must fail
| To tell their beads at the Midnight Mass.
Silently falls the drifting snow
Falls as the f.et of angels light:
Still through the thickenng gloom they go
! Go like spectres across the night;
Stcathiy, watchiully, over the moor,
Wary of fern an deep morass,
Til they stand 10y the soggarth's side secure,
/ In the glen of the uOrse at Midnight Mass.
Grouped together, She young and the old.
| Mother, maiden sire and son;
Grouped togcthe-, the brave aud the bold
BlnneI in the valleys their fathers won;
| knee they there on the mufiei sod,
| Signing and fearful. alas! alas!
| Bending low in their prayer to God
| For succor and help at the Midnight Mass.
| Slowly, solemnly tinkles the bell
| Raises the priest the Host on high;
Rats upwart, with surgnx SWELL

save Us, oh. God from the bloodhound's tooth.
1he big"t's wrath and the scaffods doom;
Keep Us, oh, God in the paths of truth,
In our woiul journey to the tomb.
Ruined altar and rihed f,ne,
Scattered homestead and bliyhtel hearth,
| Brethren bansheh and kindred slan
These are our trials Lord, on earth.
Oh, let our wall III thy sight ascend.
Poor and foIlorn NC turn to thee,

The rite is over the Mass is said,
The Bile ,sng Is given the chant is sung,
The I.itany told for the living and dead,
And scattered again the OLD and the young.

CAPTAIN REsCUEs LADY FROM DROWN
ING IN THE MORNING AND M.RPIEs HER
IN THE AFTERNOON.
On Monday morning two oyster pun
gies were sailing on the Chesapeake Bay,
bound for Baltimore. Both were reput-
ed to be fast sailors, and as a stiff breeze
was blowing at the time, all canvass was
crowded on, and both pungies were do
ing their level best" On board one of
the boats was remarkably handsome
young lady. daughter of the captain,
who was sitting on the deck, waving her
handkerchief. and otherwise demonstra-
ting her enthusiasm at the apparent
success of her father s boat. So deeply
interested in the race had she become,
that, forgetting her situation. she rose
| up, and 1lst as she did so. a heavy sea
| struck the boat, which caused her to
lose her equilibrium, and she tumbled
| over the rail into the water. Quick as
flash the captain of the competing boat
took in the situation at once. and giving
the helm in charge OF his colored man,
he took off his boots and plunged into
the foaming waters, and when he arose
to the surface he held the form of the
girl in his arms. BY this time the first
boat had rounded to, and sent off boat
/ to their assistance, and they were taken
on board. By skillful maneuvering the
colored man kept his boat as near as
possible without colliding, and his cap
tain was soon again treading his own
deck. On arriving in Baltimore, both
boats landed at the same wharf, when
the father of the girl declared that the
brave man must be rewarded, but he re-
fused everything offered him. well" "
exclaimed the cid man, "ef you won't

a moments reflection accepted the offer,
and toward the close of day they were
married. And the old man told him to
take her for he was deserving OF her.
