TRUE LOVE.

The broadsword loses its glitter
AS it hangs in tie ancient hall;
Rustcd and blunt grows tho keen edged
blade
Tha! once 40 gallant champion made
AS it CLEANED from the castle wall.
The jewel loses its lustrc
AS it lies in its velvet nest
Till dull and dim is the good red gold
That showed such royal light of old
AS it flashed from bcauty's breast
The blue c,,c loses its power
As aye comes creeping ON;
The fair form droops from its stately grace
The roses fly finm the carcWorn face,
The charm from The tone.
The color fades from the canvas,
The magic from ringing rhyme;
Nor is there a JOY in this world ot ours,
Riches, or glorics, or hopes, or flowers,
But dies at the touch OF time.
Ay, Loyc in his pure serenity
Can the pitilcss spell defy,
For tears cannot drown nor abScrcc dim,
Ard Death hinist(f may not conquer him
For true love ncvrrCan tie

Arriving at the spot they found a

hands, women on their knees, be-
seeching Heaven for mercy on the

A MOTHER S INFLUENCE.-Many a
poor mother in humble cot, with no
IL oney or position, has struggl led hard
TO feed and clothe her little ores, to
train them to be an honor to their
country and a blessing to the world.
Most Of our useful prominent men
came from such homes. Our church,
yards are full ofsuch pleasing mothers
whose hands are meekiy folded on
their breasts. No tall monuments and
high sounding epltaphs mark their
resting places. No worldly eve ever
saw the record of their lives, only God
and the angels. What responsible
ty rests upon the mothers Of this
country. Life is too short to be spent
in accumulating things of this world
that must perish. The children do
not stay with us long enough to per
NIT us to waste our hours in the pur-
suit of fashion and gayety. What we
SOW now we shall reap hereafter
How many who SOW in tears shall reap
in joy. God give to all mothers grace
and strength to fulfill their duties
Alright, tn: t their influence for good
may be felt from generation to gener
alton.

about his eyes ust as there is some
times when they've made up their
minds to pop the question. And Ja-
mie came in and sat down by tn
fire just as he had done every Tues
day and Friday night for fourteen
long years, and he talked Of the
weather, and the crops, and the cattle
and the stock market, | was going tc
say-but no they did not talk about
that. And finally jamie says:
Jennie, I've known you for a long
time.
Yes, Jamie, said she.
'And-I've thought Id always like
to know you, Jennie.
Yes, jamie.
Ana SO l We DOu5nl-a lOt-Jeh-
ME.

lot in a graveyard, but Jennie was
not discouraged, She knew her maa
well-after fourteen years she ought
