Jefferson City Tribune The state
convention which met yesterday. taking
it altogether. was one Of the ablest and
best bodies OF democrats that ever as
sembled at the capital. The business
of the convention was transacted with
dispatch and the most perfect harmony.
The nominations were as good as
could have been made, and will meet
the hearty appreciation and support OF
the party. The platform IS a fair eX-
position of the democratic position onthe
various subjects which it treats, and
places the democracy of Missouri in line
with the party throughout the Union.
The St. Louis Republican OF July
10th, in speaking OF the action OF the
democratic state convention to meet on
that day at Jefferson City, among Other
things says: The people of Missouri
will watch the action of the convention
with quick and intelligent concern. an,

make, the most Of ourselves. MANY
an unseltish mother has said, ooh, can
not take all this time, there are so many
things to do for the children" She does
not realize that she may do more for them
in the end by cultivating herself than if
she spends all her time on clothes and
cooking. A generosity which makes the
recipient weak or selfish is not blessing
but curse. Have you not seen grown
up sons who snubbed their mothers
opinions in the same breath with which
they called her to bring their slippers?
The meek little woman has "trotted
around" to wait on them so long that they
have come to think that that IS all she is
good for. Their sisters keep 'Ma" in the
background because she ''hasnt bit of
style" and is $50 uncultivated,' forget
ting that she has always worn shabby
clothes that they might wear fine ones;
that her hands have become horny with
hard work that theirs might be kept soft
and white for the piano, and that she has
denied herself books and leisure that they
might have both. And there are other
children, too noble for such base ingrati-
tude, who feel Il keen though secret sense
OF loss as they kiss the dear withered
cheek and think how much more of d
woman mother might have been if she
had not shut herself away from the cul-
ture and sweet companionship of books.

EASTER LILIES.

Darlings of June and brides of summer sun.
Chill pipes the stormy wind, the skies are
drear;
Dull and despoiled the gardens every one;
What do you here?
We looked to see YOU gracious blooms arise
Mid soft and wooing airs in garden green,
Where venturesome brown bees and butter
flies
Should hail you queen.
Here is no bee no glancing butterfly;
They fled on rapid wings before the snow;
Your sister lilies laid them down to die,
Long, long ago.
And here amid the slowly dropping rain.
We keep our Easter feast, with hearts whose
care
Mars the high cadence of each lofty strain,
Each thankful prayer.
But not a shadow dims your joyance sweet,
No baff1ed hope or memory darkly clad;
You Law your whiteness at the Lords dear feet,
And are all glad.
Oh coward soul, arouse three and draw near,
Led by the enfagrant acolytes to-day!
Let their sweet confidence rebuke thy fear,
Thy cold delay.
Come with thy darkness to the healing light!
Come with thy bitter, which shall be made
sweet!
And lay thy soul beside the lilies white,
At His deer feet.

following story has been told about him:
The antiquarian stood before stable
door, in rapt delight, contemplating a
stone fixed in the archway, which bore
the inscription 1851. Calling the tenant
farmer, he said: "Am I right, my friend,
IN supposing that you procured this stone
from the castle ruin on the hill yonder?"

farmer, pay me down forty guilders,

IS rather large sum-" said the professor;
never mind; bring it to me tomorrow

the peasant brought the stone upon the
truck, the jealous antiquarian eagerly

The Blue Bells of Scotland.

How long has that bell been ringing
its fragrant music, and swinging forth its
unheard melodies among brackens and
briers, and primroses and woodroof, and
that world OF poetical wild scents and
forms-so many-so beautiful-which
tangled bank over trotting burn among
the leafy wood discloses? Spirits more
beautiful than fairies behold these scenes,
OF they would waste. That bell was ring
ing merrily when Adam and Eve were
married. It chimed its dirge over Abel,
and has died and sprung up again while
Ninevah and Babylon have come and
gone, and empires have lived and died
forever! Solomon, in all his glory, was
not like these.
What an evidence have in this blue
dropping flower of the regularity and en-
durance of Gods will since creations
dawn. Amidst all the revolutions Of
heaven and earth; hurricanes and earth
quakes; floods End fires; invasions and
disperslons; signs in the sun, moon, and
stars; perplexity and distress of nations
nothing has happened to injure this
fragile blue-bell. This is the central
piece subsisting at the heart Of the end

The blue-bell swung in breezes tenn
pered to its strength centuries before the
children OF Japheth spied the chalky
cliffs Of Dover. It has been called by

has ever been the same. 1t will sing on
with the spirit-song until time shall be
no more. The blue-bell may sing the

The disclosures that have been made

The disclosures that have been made
on one or two occasions lately at inquests
on the bodies Of children whose lives
have been insured go to justify the pre-
valent suspicion of close connection be-
tween infant mortality and life insurance.
At an inquest held few days ago as to
the death of two children at Low Spenny-
moor, Durham, which was adjourned for
evidence as to the results of an analytical
examination, a startling statement was
made by DR.. O'Hanlon, medical officer to
the local board. In the last few years. .
he said, sever since there had been such
an enormous canvassing gong on amongst
insurance companies, there had been a

among children" As q rule, he found

that the children were always insured.
The temptation to get rid of child
rather than maintain it is, to many par
ents, very great at all times; and when in
addition to being relieved Of the burden
OF its maintenance they can actually gain
hard cash by its death, the temptation
may become irresistible.-PaW Nall
