A MOTHERS CHARGE.

Precious and lovely, yield her to thee,
Take her the gem of thy dwelling to be,
She who was ever my solace and pride
Glides from my bosom to cling to thy side.
Guard her with care, which must never
decline,
Make her thy day-star, she long hath been
mine,
Lonely henceforth is my desolate lot
What is the case, where the jewel is not? =?
Take her and pray that thine arm may be
strong,
Safely to shield her from danger and
wrong,
Be to her all that her heart hath portrayed
Then DER thy path there will gather no
shade.
Now does she love thee, as one without
spot,
Dreams of no sorrow to darken her lot
Prayerful, yet cheerful yield her to thee
Take her the light of thy dwelling to be.
ANSWER TO THE ABOVE.
Thanks for the "gem" thou hast given to
me,
The adornment andlight ofmy dwelling
tabe,
Ever III make her my joy and my pride,
As she clings trustingly close to my side.
With Gods gracious aid my arm shall be
strong .i
Always to guard her and shield her from
wrong,
Most truly give her a heart full Of love
And from her promise thee never to rove.
The journey of life, know will be rough
OF cares and temptations we shall have
enough,
But Jesus, the guardian and friend whom
we love
Gently will smooth it and point us above.
Along the blest pathway of life will we
walk,
And fondly of thee, dearest friend we shall
talk
And when thou shalt visit this dwelling
of mine,
Thou wilt see with what lustre my "day-
star" doth shine.

A LINIMENr.-R. S. Steel writes to
the American farmers club: Some time
ago was good deal worried with a
couple of horses which had sore backs.
tried various remedies withoutsuccess,
and was beginning to despair when the
following receipt came to my notice.
''1he inner bark of white oak bark boil
ed down in All iron kettle (never use a
brass one) until it is as black as ink;
while boiling drop in piece of alum,
about the size of hens egg" This lin
iment is TO be applied with a sponge,
and is good for any sore or brnise; in
fact, it is a safe thing to keep in ones
barn ready to use when occasion re-
quires. As l found this so useful, |
venture to send it for the benefit Of 9TH
ers who may not be in the possession Of
anything as good. / think it is also an
excellent plan ia warm weather to clean
the collars often with CASTLE soap.

A VERY SAD AFFAlR.-The Potts
vile Miners JOraai OF May %, says:
saturday man named McKinsley, of
Philadelphia, who was experimenting
the erection of the gas works at Spring
City, received dispatch telling him to
hurry home with all speed if he would
like to see his wife alive. He telegraph
ed to Reading, and had the conductor
of the express tram which leaves Potts
vile at 2:3O z. NJ, to stop for him at
Rogers Ford. This train did stop for
him, and as be was about to cross the
mp track to get on board. the train
which reaches Pottsviile at $40 came
dashing along at nearly full speed. The
unfortunate man got safely across the
track, but something, probably the cur
rent of air, threw him under one of the
cars of the speeding train. In an in
slant he was headless and mutilated
corpse When picked up his heart was
exposed, aud for short time its action
could be seen. The body was taken
home on No. train, but before the
train reached Philadelphia the man S
wife had died. So she never knew Of
his death or he of hers.

Not that Kind OF a MAN.

heN. Dr. l., tue olner gay Iounu u
pack of playing cards in the possession
of his oldest boy, and after giving the
lad a thrashing for owning such engines
of Satan, the doctor placed the cards in
his own pocket intending. to destroy
them at the first opportunity. Bnt he
forgot about them, and subsequently,,
while in the cars on the way to the
city, he pulled out his handkerchief, and
the cards came with it and fell upon the
floor. The docter gathered them up,
with a very red face, and while he was
arranging them in his hand, he saw a
rough-looking man in the seat opposite
him wink at him. He turned his head
away, but, upon looking around a mo-
ment later, the man wiuked at him
again. Then he winked several times
and finally he came over, and sitting
down by the side OF the doctor he said
Il say, pardner, what's your little
game!"
81 don't understand you, sir, replied
the doctor.
"Oh, you needn't mind me" said the
man. I'm doing little at thing my
self. Now, how do you work it?"
"What do you mean? How do |
work what e.
"Oh, you know well enough. What
do you skin em ont
"Skin them! Skin whof Really, sir,
your remarks are incomprehensible to
inc"
Now, see here, l understand the
whole thing. You're hunting up some
body to play seven-up with, and You
intend to beat EN- out of their money.
Now, don't you?"
You don't know who you are talking
to"
"Now, I'll ;ell you whatll I'll do
There's no man on this earth that kin
turn Jacks iaster'n | kin; and less you
and me start up game on some OF
these fellows, and III run three OF four
jacks up my sleeve, with a couple OF
aces maybe, and when we get 10 town
we'll divide the profits and go down
and get roaring drunk at the tavern.
Is it bargain?'
You are scoundrel exclaimed the
doctor. Let me change my seat, If you
please.
Won't do il! Won't club in with me
and try few games!
Certainly not, sir
Won't lend me them jacks to put in
my sleeve?
You seem to forget that am cler-
gyman, sir.
A cler-Oh, no. You don't mean to
say that-that-you amt preacher;
now, honest are you!
Yes, sir, l am. | am the Rev. DR..

You! And what are you doing with

Then DR.. Potts went into the hind
car and got off at the next station
When he got home he gave that boy

ROMANTIC INCIDENT IN STREET
CARA rather romantic incident oc-
Cured recently in the prosaic city of
Boston, which has at least the spirit Of
novelty and is not lacking the poetic
element. A stranger entered street
car aud was quietly seated in corner
when a lady with bright-eyed little
girl of years entered and took a seat
next to him. The child wishing to
watch the street sights, stood up be-
tween the two. Mr. A. noticing that
the child was playful, INDUCED in lit.
tie quiet familiarity, and at length re-
marked, as the car passed round
curve, Don't fall, baby, papa would be
sorry. The ladys face, which had worn
a rather smiling expression, changed at
once. but before be recovered his senses,
seeing the fur pas he had made, the
little girl exclaimed, 'Papas dead. The
position was embarrassing, but he turn
ed the conversation by casual remark
The child, however, turning her blue
eyes upon him, said in the most artless
manner: You dot any little dirlsi' No,
replied the gentleman, i had little
girl once, bnt she and her mother are
both dead. The mother OF the child
was now more confused than ever, but
when her eyes met those Of the gentle
man there was sympathetic expression
perceptibIe. The lady left the car, and
though no word had been exchanged
between them, the tact that one was a
widow and the other widower was
known to both. The favorable impress
sion created was mutual, for chance
meeting few days after was availed OF
by the gentleman 10 offer an apology
for what might be considered rudeness
on his part in speaking to the child, and
the ladys excuses for the forwardness
of her little girl led to an acquaintance
which will in few weeks, if report
speaks the truth, result in an alliance
which will unite the mother and child
to a most excellent husband and fond
father, who holds an honorable position
in Western city.-BJsioa Globe.

A TuUNDERBoLr THRoUGu WILD
GoosE.-During the thunderstorm yes
terday a flock of wild geese were seen
flying Northward. They whirled and
changed their course many times, but
turned to the North after each change.
When over the corner of Tenth and
Felix street, a streak of lightning was
seen to strike downward from large
cloud, and one of the geese dropped as
if shot. An observer ran to the spot
where the goose was seen to fall, ex-
pecting. no doubt, wild goose for din
ner Upon arriving on the spot he
found what, without a question, was one
of the most curious freaks that most
subtitle of fluids ever played. The goose
had SCARED aud burned hole extend
ing from the back down through the
body, there being no question but that
the electric bolt passed through the
flying bird. The feathers were some
what singed, though not so much as
might have been expected. The bird
was shown to several persons as curl
osity, our reporter among the number,
all agreeing as to the manner of its
death.-Ffom the 81. Louis (.Ko.) Her.

MENTALLY.
The fearful effects on the mind are much
tn be dreaded: Loss of Memor. Confusion
of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Fore

of the evils produced.

What pity that young man, the nope

A SAD LOVE TRAGEDY.-The Ten
nessee papers describe a remarkable
love tragedy that took place in the
village OF Pennington, in that State,
recently. About year ago a young
man named Hurt came to Pennington
in search of employment, and being
needy and destitute was kindly treated
by worthy family with whom his
mother had formerly lived. After a
lapse of several months it was discover
ed that a little love affair had sprung
up between the young man and the
youngest daughter Of the family-a
beautiful and accomplished young lady
-whereupon her father gave Hurt his
walking papers, with peremptory or
ders not to come on his premises again.
However letters were passed and few
clandes:ine meetings were had. Finally
the young Missourian got a revolver,
hired horse and boldly rode down the
pike towards Pennington. lie told
several persons Oh his way that ne was
going to ''see his girl, and then and
tnerc XIII himself; tIdI III uC Couiu hoe
live with her he would die with her. y
He arrived at the house at about 10
o'clock in the evening, hitched his horse
at the gate and walked into the house.
When he knocked at the door the
mother Of the girl, thinking it was the
doctor-some one of the family being
sick-opened it, and was greeted with
the words "You are the cause of"-and
then came the report of the pistol.
The mother thought Hurt shot her.
Her husband thereupon seized double
barrelled shot gun, loaded with bird
shot, and getting glimpse of the in
truder. who was still in the hall, fired
upon him. Hurt then staggered out of
the hall and was found dead in the
orchard, about one hundred yards from
the house. 1t was now seen that in
stead of shooting at the mother he had
shot himself in the right breast. The
force of the shot gun charge was brok-
en- by his clothes, but twenty-three shot
were extracted from his side.
