Somebody's Mother.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters day
The street was wet with recent snow,
And the woman 5 feet was aged aud slow.
She stood at the crossing, and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
or human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom OF "school let out"
Came the boys, like a hock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered helping hand to her,
SO meek, so tinnid, afraid TO stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street,
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie Of all the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low,
"I'l help you across, ifyOu wish TO 60"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and 50, without hurt or harm,
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again 10 his friends he went.
His young heart happy and well content.
"she's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you und derstand,
II ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody mother" bowed low her head
In her home that night and the prayer she said
Was, "God, be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's SON and pride and Joy "

Hell.

Now, my dear Mr.. Beecher,
You're very fine preacher,
a most wonderful preacher, own.
But alas what a sell,
fits true as they tell, lof hell,
That you've wantonly knocked out the bottom
And the orthodox devil o'erthrown.
Do, now dear Mr.. Beecher,
Spare a poor sinful creature
His last com forting birthstone and things
For your head once was level
Upon Hell and the Devil,
And how could you take So wicked DeVei,
With the orthodox chaos IL brings.
There was never feature,
As you know, Mr.. Beecher,
In theology roasting surpassed,
Since John Milton patented
The hell Dante invented.
And where all the un orthodox fry are cOntented
To be deyiled-like kidneys-at last.
As parson and teacher
You should haste, Mr.. Beechcr,
Your return to the Devil and Hell.
Such remarks as you drop,
Or are said to, must stop,
Or you'll not find a customer left in your shop
When you offer your sermons to sell
Then there's Talmage, a screecher.
Who can raise, Mr.. Beecher,
Any day young hell of his own.
He will make your ears ttngle
If you touch but shingle; lsingle,
He will damn you in double and damn you In
Till you'll weep for your hell overthrown.

wonderful cures, after all other remedies had

RAsumatism is a Disease ofhs Blood

The blood in this disease, is found TO contain
an excess of hbrin. Negetine acts acts by con-
verting the blood from its diseased condition
to a healthy circulation. Negetine regulates
the bowels which is very important in this
complaint. One bottle of Negetine will give
relief but TO effect a permanent cure 10 must
be taken regularly, and may take several bot
ties. especially in cases Of long standing. Veg
etine IS sold by all druggists. Try u, and your
verdict will be the same as that of thousands

relief as from the use of Negetine," which Is
composed exclusively Of Blrks, Roots and

Men and wemen, masters and
servants, all inhabit the same room,
while cleanliness is not much at
tended to; but, poor as they are,
and accustomed to great priyations,
they set an example OF cheerful
contentment. The beauty of the
girls is remarkable ; their fair hair
falls in long plaitS, partially covered
by a cloth coil daintily worn on
one side of the head, finished at the
top with tassel of colored silk run
through a silver or steel buckle,
which floats on the shoulder. 1t
reminds the traveller Of the Greek
head-dress, but the blue eyes, with
their sweet, benevolent expression,
soon recall to their mind their Dan
ish origin. The dress is made of
the cloth woven in the country, and
on festive days the bodice is gayly
adorned with silver braid and vel
vet, while the belt and sleeves are
ornamented with silver devices,
beautifully chased and often Of
great value. On wet and cold days
the shawl becomes a beautiful man
tilla completely enveloping the
head, and defending the wearer
from the effects of the frequent
storms.

FafnmI Mnmnn1n

In every serious fire, says Con.
rad Wilson, the ultimate amount Of
disaster is determined by the dura.
ton of time between the first mo.
ment Of the outbreak and the ar.
rival Of sufficient aid. Whether
this interval is thirty seconds OF
thirty minutes, is a question often
on which great values are staked,
and it frequently makes all the
difference between the extinction
of the fire without loss, on the one
hand, and infinite ruin on the
other.
Men talk grayely of the value Of
time even in the ordinary affairs Of
life. But have they ever referred
its value to a standard like this:
Have they ever considered the in
tense reality of disaster or the sub
lime conception of ruin by which
alone can be measured its priceless
value in the first brief stage of q
conhagration, when vivid events
crowd each other in an endless
series, as they flash through the
little eternity Of that half hour?
Then the seconds are expanded
into days, and minutes into months:
moments are measured by millions
of value; every tick of the clock i.
prophetic Of a warehouse in ruins
and each vibration Of the peudu-
lum swings an unhoused family
into the street.
In the origin Of most fires the
breath Of a child that puts out a
candle would extinguish the in
cipient flame. Give that flame a
few more seconds, and neither child
nor man could lift from the ground
the weight Of water required to
subQue it.
