SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

ne woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill Of the winters days
The street was wet with a recent snow,
And the Woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing, and waited long,
Alone unOared for, amid the tArOng
OF human beings passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street. witA laughter and shout
Glad in the freedom Of ''sch0ol bot out"
Came the boys like a fock Of sheep.
HAiling the snow piled vhie and deep.
Past the woman 10 cid aud gray
fastened the children on their way
Nor offered helping hand 10 her,
SO meek, 10 timid, afrsad % stir,
Lest tine carriage wheel OF the horses feet
Shsuld crowd her down in the slippery street.
Al last came one Of the merry troop
The gsyest laddie Of AL tire group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low,
sIll help you across II you wish 10 60"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed; and 30, without hurt or harm,
He guided tho trembling feet along,
ProHd that his own were frtA and strong.
Then back again 10 hs friends he went
His yosug heart happy and well content.
SHES somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's Seed md poor and slow;
"And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand.
II ever she's poor and old and gray.
When her own dear boy Is far away"
And somebody's mother" bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was, Sod, be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and joyl"

Death Of Hrs. Dc Forest Porter,

Porter, vile of Hon. De Forest Port

20 years and 10 months.
The funeral OF Mrs. Julia 5. Porter.
was one of the most largely attended
ever known in Yuma. AS the pro-
cessiOu passed through town, all
places OF business were closed, and
| flags were placed at half mast. The
! remains were inferred in the Military
Cemetery at Fort Yuma, on the Cali
! fOrnia band of the Colorado, where
! they rest under dropping acacia. AS
much inconvenience would have been
| occasiOned in crossing the procession
| on the ferry boat, orders were given by
Asst. Superintendent Hewitt TO have
planks laid again on the railroad
bridge. a courtesy which has been full
ly appreciated. Mrs. Porter's pure and
and devoted friends who assisted in
the last sad rites and great number
of citizens improved the occasion for
testifying respect and sympathy.
She was daughter of Windsor
Trowbridge, of LOckport n. Y, aud
a niece Of the author j. Il. TrowbIidge |
Of Boston. Though fer from the cir
Gle OF her relations she was surround !

her long and painful illness with he

the great hereafter beyond the grave
without doubt or fear.
