THE BOYS.
BY ETHEL LYNN.

''The boys are coming home tomorrow"
Thus our rural hostess said,
Whilst Lou and I shot fiji ting glanses
Full of vague unSpOken dread
Had we hither come for quiet
Hither file the city's noise,
But to change it for the tumult,
OF those horrid country bOyse
Waking one with wild hall0Olng
Early every summer day
ShoJ ting robins teasing XII items,
Frightsnin the wrens away
Stumbling over trailing founces,
Thumbing volumes, gold and blue
Clam oring for sugared daintes,
Tracking earth the passage through
These and other kindred trials
Faucied, we with woful sigh,
"Those boys, those hoIrid boys tomorrow"
Sadly whispered Lou and L.
wrote those lines one happy summer;
L
Remembering how full of terror
We watched all day the opening door.
They came, "the boys'' six feet in stature,
Graceful, easy, polished men;
1 vowed to Lou, behind my knitting,
To trust no mothers word again.
For bOyhood is a thing immortal
To every mothers heart, said Lou;
And sons are boys, to her forever,
Change as they may to me and you.
To her no line comes sharply marking
Whittier or when their childhood went;
Or Wien the eye glance upward turning
Leyeled at last its downward bent.
Now by the window still and sunny
Warmed by the rich October glow.
The dear old lady waits and watches,
just as She waited years ago.
For Lou and are now her daughters;
We married ''those two country boys;
In spite of all our sad forebodings,
About their awkward ways and noise.
Lou springs up now to meet football;
list no more for coming feet;
Mother and l are waiting longer
For steps on Beulah's golden street.
But when she blesses LOUIS beloved,
And seals it with tender kiss,
know that loving words go upward,
Words to another world than this
Always she speaks in gentle fashion
About my boys''-she always will,
though one is gray. and one has vanished;
Beyond the touch of time ill.

THE EMPLOYE
To the Employer-A Token OF Good
VIII and Anectionate Regard from
the Workmen OF the Chicka-
saw Iron Works to the
Proprietors.

The prevailing good feeling between en-
ployers and employees was forcibly exemph-
fed yesterday afternoon at the Chickasaw
iron works, Of which Messrs. Randle. Heath
& Livermore are proprietors. After the tap
of the bell announcing the close of work, the
employees sof the establishment, about eighty
in number, invaded the office and through
Mr.. Alfred A. Heath, their spokesman pre-
sented the firm with beautifully wrought
stand Of National colors, twelve by fourteen
feet in size. Mr.. Heath, though quite a
young man, acquitted himself in a manner
that would have done credit to veteran ora
tor in making the presentation speech. Mr..
John Z. Randle, of the firm, received the
flag, In a short but forcible impromptu
speech, when the men and their employers
extended mutual congratulations on the sue
cess of this mammoth establishment. Such
occurrences are worthy of notice In that they
practically overthrow the theory of those who
have attempted to alarm public sentiment
with the imaginary hostility existing between
the capitalist and labor. 1t is to such enter
prislng spirits as compose the firm of Randle,
Heath & Livermore that southern cities must
look for the building up of their manufac-
turing interests, and we venture the asser-
ton that none In the south can boast more
solid prosperity than the Chickasaw iron
works of Memphis. The beautiful gift will
adorn their mammoth establishment on the
corner of Second and Jackson streets to-day.

A Rare Musical Treat.

On Friday evening at eight o'clock, and on
Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, the most
recherche and artistic musical event probably
ever offered in Memphis will be given at the
Memphis club hall by the great artist Aptom-
mas, the world renowned harpist, in series
of harp recitals. The marvellous performances
on the harp of this matchless artist have ex-
cited the universal press in his deserved
praise, and Europe and America resound
with tributes to his genius. There is as wide
difference in Aptommas' s performances to
any other harpist as there is in the street I'D
oilers and the great violinist Paganini. The
great artist will be ably assisted by the finest
local talent, and a sweet, gemlike treat has
been selected for each performance, and a
grand programme is offered. The harp is GER
tainly the most classic and the most ancient
of musical instruments, and was the favorite
one of the Jews and Greeks, and has been as
soclated with the most exalted poetry of all
ages in the history of the world; and when
we find its grandest possibilities more than
fully realized by the greatest artist of our
times, 1t is an opportunity of the rarest
chance that now presents itself to hear the
greatest harpist of the world, which none
should miss. The admission is only fifty
cants
