sGmother.,,

It is the cry of the infant, Just
the cradle: it is the only balm that
will heal the wounded heart in
Youthful days. Smother, I'm hurt, p
%mc ther, Pm tired" smother, So
to me, rock me, tell me stories" It
is always smother" with the child
and the lad. No one like mother.
No hand that falls on the fevered
brow as softly as hers; no words so
sympathetic as those that pass her
lips. The house would be q grave
without her. Life would be dreary,
thorny road without her warning
voice and guiding hand. A father
may be kind, may love not less, but
the wearied child wants the mothers
arms, her soft lullaby songs, the
earesses of her gentle hand. All
childhood is a mixture Of tears aud
ioys. A kind word brings a smile,
q harsh word a sigh, fall is pain,
loss is Joy. The first footsteps, weak
and trembling, grow stronger by
Guidance of a mothers love.
THE little wounds, the torn clothes,
the headaches, the heartaches, the
trials, all vanish at the words of q
mother, and there is built up in the
heart of every man an edifioe of love
and respect that no crime of his can
topple down-no dungeon cell af-
feet.
And lad grows to be a man only
to find that smother" is the same,
If he errs, she weeps; if he is good
and manly, she rejoice. Hers is the
only love that lasts-endures forever.
The wolf of starvation may enter
the door, but her love is only trieo
TO shine the brighter. All the world
NAV call her son criminal, Ont the
mother only believes it not, Trials
NAV beset, storms gather over you,
vexations come, ruin drags you down,
but there is one who ever stands
firm in your cause, who will never
leave you. The criminal on the
scaffold is feeling because his bad
deeds would cause a pang in mothers

REUNION POEM

tion.-Edr. Tel
REUNION POEM
These twice six years have passed away,
Since YOU and I were called, dear boys,
And, caSed in Uncle Samuel's stays,
Entitled to soldiers joys
To hard-taek, beef, and pork and beans,
To the reveille's shrillest call
To dress parade, and other means
OF making veterans of US all.
sNo matter now about the "bid,"
Or those who played the g game OF OF;
No matter now if others did
Make of the q Guards" a little scoff.
Within our ranks there slept bit
OF the old Puritanic fire,
That so displayed itself in grit,
When John Bull stirred our fathers ire
In the fair land of Johnson's Isle,
Where old Lake Erie's waters play,
The rebs" we guarded for while,
Then to the field were called away.
Now gathered here behold we those,
Who boldly rose and led the van,
And struggling thus against their foes,
Were 'sgobbled up" at Cynthian.
No. not all here with us are they
Who gathered on that fatal field;
We drop the tear to think the fray,
With many a comrades blood was sealed.
That duty of one hundred days,
Gained for each man tribute due,
From him whom all the praise,
As Just and g Honest, firm and true.
and though our garlands are not such
As grace the brows Of those. who served
Through long campaigns and suffering
much,
For prompt response they are deserved.
And in this year of all the years,
Since from old Independence Hall
There swept aloft those deafening cheers
That through the generations call,
'Tis proper we together meet,
And grasping each fellows hand,
With all the joys OF home replete,
Thank God for an unseEered land.
Thank him that it was cen our lot
To humbly serve that starry flag
Which rebel hands respected not,
And from its height would gladly drag.
But which to-day floats full and strong,
Above our forty million free.
And all the lands that come and throng
Our Centenary Jubilee.
Thank Him that now ''Red, White and
Blue"
Are colors of the e Blue and 's Gray"
From where the gulf our coasts bedew
To where Niagara casts her spray;
That over north and southern braves
Alike, we streY nemento flowers;
That where the pine or palm tree waves,
Each patriot greets that flag as ''ours. y
We meet again some locks are gray;
But few can boast their raven curls;
The youngest OF us now can say,
My home, my Yife-Ihy boys and girls.
We meet again not all, however,
For death his busy hand has piled;
Our thousand dwindles year by year;
Our comrades seek the other side.
We part-be this our motto as We go;
So live that when command is given,
90 Break ranks" we leave the drill below
To birouac in the camp of heaven.

TIE MIKADo OF JAPAx.-Pro-
badly the most costly state chariot
ever yet built, says the London Tines
Of May 81, has Just been completed
for the Mikado of Japan by Messrs,
Morgan & Co, her Msiesty's coach
builders. The body Of the vehicle
is of the finest Spanish mahogany,
and fashioned after an old Flemish
pattern, which allows Of an unhmit-
ee amount Of ornamentations and
exceptional interior comforts, 1t is
considerably larger than European
state carriages generally, but the
peeularity Of its construction admits
of the draughe being very light. The
panels are painted a rich pale green
withwhite and gold trellis, and scroll
ornaments, the gliding being very
profuse. The metal appointments
are silver gilt, the door handles and
lamps being massive and richly ckas-
ed. Traditional emblems of japan,
conspicously the tortoise and dragon,
surmount each corner OF the roof in
the centre Of which is q japanese
crown. The interior is luxuriously
upholstered with cloth Of gold, rich
Valenciennes lace, and green silk
velvet ornaments. The under car
rage is scroll-shsped, and richly
carved and gilt, the color of the
wheels matching the body Of the
vehicle. Permission has been sought
to have the carriage exhibited at the
Forthcoming horse show at the

and in eontrax after the eleckshuns,

Jest as we'll as ever they did. Let
the platform be heavy and solid for
purity and reform"
Oakey Hall wants reform and pu-
rity, and in sich q coz he is willin to
give a fourth of the forehoon he
made when he was the astoot rlte
bower of Tweed.
l hev heerd EN- all. The Dlmoc-
risy of the Sixth Ward Of Moo
York, where 1 wunst run a small
grocery, are to man for reform.
Pendleton wants reform, and every
man which wuz turned out of offs
when johnson went out is a clamer-
in for it.
The Southern Dimocrisy wants re-
form. They say in their letters to
me, "Give us a Reform platform,
and Well put away our shot-guns
and keep our hands off the mig
gers until after the elecktions, shoor.
We won't insist on our rites to kill
niggers, and keep 'em from heVin
anything to do with matters, till the
eleckshun NV a Dimercratic Presi-
dent gives Us the rite to do ez We
please.n Their constant remark is,
" Go in heavy for reform, and make
the one ishoO."
The dooty Nv the party is clear.
Give us a platform based entirely on
Reform. We kin carry it. 1t is a
great many yeers since we Wuz in
power, and by this time the people
hev forgotten us, and they will take
us eesy. If we do this we can sue

We hev the Doggeries and all the

so long ez this division is observed

1t is a good time for US. Every

The people is dissatisfied about it,
and NV course they will charge ev-

Aud now appeared one of the most
terrible and magnificent speetacles it
was ever our lot to witness. The
whole broad and high front of the
International Hotel was wrapped, as
in its winding sheet, in one lurld
mass of flame, which-seemingly as
in moekery of the puny powers of
man and his appliances to stay its
eourse-stooped toward the earth in
the eddy of the wind with a hurting
sound as of demoniac laughter, and
then, swerving and veering, as if in
disdain tossing its head, it arose
towering almost to the very clouds,
and-and, it needed no ferVid Dan
team imagination then to discover
within the fringes of that gilt edged
hell the glaring eye-balls, yea, the
very claws and bloody hair of the
demon of the hames-with one fell
swoop it hurled itself across the
broad street over upon and wound
itself around, fastening its fearful
clutches in, took possession of and
invested the whole immense build
ing known as the Harris block.
