Thank Godl some OF US have bad
an old-fashioned mother. Not a
woman Of the period, enameled and
painted, with her great chignOn, her
curis and hustle, whose white, jew
eled hands never felt the clasp OF
baby fingers; but a dear, Old-fash
ioned, sweet-voiced mother, with
eyes in whose clear depths the love-
light shone, and brown hair just
silver threaded lying smooth upon
her faded cheek. Those dear hands,
worn Withhold, gently guided totter-
ing steps in childhood, and smooth
ed our pillow in sickness. Blessed
is the memory of an old-fashioned
mother! 1t floats before us now, like
beautiful perfume from some wood
ed blossoms. The music OF other
voices may be lost, but the entran-
cling memory of hers will echo in
souls forever. Other faces may
fade away and be forgotten, but
hers will shine on.
When, ia tho fitful pauses of busy
life, our feet wander back L, the old
homestead, and, crossing the we'll
worn threshold, stand once more in
the room so hallowed by her pres
ence, dependence comes over us, and
we kneel down in the mOlten sun
shine streaming through the open
window, just where long years ago
we knelt by our mothers knee, lis
ping, sour Father" How many
times, when the tempter lured us on,
has the memory of those sacred
hours, that mothers words, her
faith and prayers, stayed US from
plunging into the deep abyss of sin.
Years have filed great drifts be-
tween her and us. but they have not
hidden from our sight the glory of
her pure, unselfish love.

y Rev. Austin Willis Smith, pastor
of the MethOdist Church, in this
place, died at the Parsonage, yes
iterday morning, at 1885, calmly
and peacefully. as a babe at rest.
He had been sick more than a
month, and for nearly three weeks,
his life has been as it were, on q sin
gle thread; for weeks he has been
nursed and visited, by kind and
svmpathizing friends, and every
thing that human science, and skill,
and love could do, has been done to
keen him with as, but all in vain.
DIR. Smith was sent here in October,
1869, from Lebanon, by the Tennes-
see Conference, and he so won the
affection and love of his people, that
he was kept here for four years,
which was as long as the Methodist
Church allows a minister to be sent
to one place consecutiyely. just as
soon as it was possible to get him
back, at the expiration of Confer
ence year, the people here, Method

The Necessity Of Sleep.

There are many thousands OF
busy people who die for want of
sleep every year. Sleeplessness be
comes a disease, and is the precur-
sor of insanity. We speak of sleep
as the image of death, for it is the
period in which the waste of the
system ceases, or is reduced TO the
minimum. Sleep repairs the waste
which waking hours have made. 1t
rebuilds the system. The night is
the lepair-shop of the body. Every
part of the system is thoroughly
overhauled, and the organs, tissues
and substances are replenished.
Waking consumes and exhausts; /;
sleep replaces ahd repairs. A man
who would be a good worker must
be a good sleeper. A man has as
much force in him as he has pro-
vided for in sleep. The quality Of
mental activity depends on the
quality of sleep. Men need, on an
average, eight hours Of sleep a day.
A Emphatic temperament may re-
quire nine; nervous temperament
six or seven. A lymphatic man is
sluggish, moving and sleeping slow
~. But nervous man acts quickly
in everything He does more in
one hour than q sluggish man ia two
hours; and SO in his sleep. Every
man must sleep according to his
temperament, but ight hours is the
average. Whoever by work, pleas
ure, sorrow, or any oCher cause, is
regularly diminishing his sleep is
destroying his life. A man may
hold out for time, but the crash
will come, and he will die.

perance twaddle about the danger
Gus nature or an occasional glass
and the destructive effects Of n tenn

Now, it happened that the speci-

or two after that, with a chronic dis

mansion up town, and a clear five
thousand a year, besides q large
fortune TO each of his children; for
he had ships on every sea, credit at
every counter, but which he had
never had occasion to use. For
months before he died-he was 3
year in dying-he could eat nothing
without distress. In midst of his
millions he died Of inanition. This
is not half, reader; he had been a
steady dFinker, q daily drinker for
twenty- eight years.
He left a legacy TO his children
which he did not mention. Serofula

What is an Abbey ?

What gives right to house to be
called a castle or an abbey? There is
one sense, as we all know, in which
every Englishman's house is his castle,
but no one seems to have put forth the
formula that every mans house is his
abbey. 1t is certain, however, that
houses are frequently called abbeys
without any thought of the question
whether they ever were inhabited by
monks. In Miss Austin's 'Northanger
Abbey" the heroine is delighted to lind
herself " really in an abbey" but it is
plain that her notion of an abbey i'm
plies no reference to monks. past or
present. Some people seem to think
that any house with pointed windows,
old OF new, is an abbey on the strength
OF them. In the same way, few
gingerbread towers, with cardboard
battlements and eylet-holes which
could not be used, are quite enough
to make a castle. On the
other hand, if house be
historically castle or an abbey, if it be
even q modern house standing on the
ancient site, it seems hard to rob it of
the ancient name. Here, for instance,

Of it as were left by the riots more than
forty years back, going to be made,
properly enough, into museum. Some
of the newspapers which record this de-
sign add sneeringly, ''This building,
though called castle, was, i'll reality, a
mere italian villa" An body would
think from this that the castle was a
limerick affair of yesterday. Yet Not
tingham Castle, though the actual dwell
ng-house had been rebuilt in Charles
the Seconds time, was in every other
respect true castle. It's site, on the
detached hill commanding the town,
was marked out by nature for a great
military post; and its long history, be-
ginning with it's foundation by the con-
queror, is as full of striking matter as
any castle in England. It is certainly
hard to brand such place with inverted
commas, and to imply that it has no
right to the name it has borne for 800
years.-PdW Mall Gazette.

Ulster 0Yerc0ats.

1t has been the mad ambition of many
Washington youth this season to
procure an Ulster overcoat. tits cheap
thing, made from the coarsest shoddy
goods possible, and costs all the way
from seven to fifteen dollars. They
were originally designed for the use OF
gentlemen called by some emergency to
go out in a storm, and as such they
were really desirable and useful. 1t
was not long, however, before the
drivers of nighttime hacks thought it
would be a good thing to put them on,
and so every Jehu who could raise seven
dollars got one, but this was by no
means the limit of the degradation
mapped out by fate for the Ulster, for
after dark, gentlemen could still wear
it with propriety, especially when
driving. The Ulster got its death blow
when the dancers of the German put it
ON, and never to take it off They
promenade in it, go to church and the
opera in it, attend marriages and funer-
ais in it, eat in it, and sleep in it, make
calls in it, and make themselves gener-
ally ridiculous in it. It is the crown
ing glory of dancer of the German
