Mothers Work.

Dear patient woman DER your children bending
To leave goodnight kiss on rosy lips,
Or list the simple prayers to God ascending
Ere slumber veil them in its soft eclipse,
/ wonder, do you dream that seraphs love you,
And sometimes smooth the pathway for your
feet;
That oft their silvcry pinion float above you,
When lite is tangled and its crossroads meet?
So wan and tired, the whole long day so busy,
To laugh or weep, at times yon hardly know,
So many trihes make the poor brain dizzy,
So nany ecrands call you to and fro.
Small garments stitching, weaving fairy stories,
And binding wounds, and bearing little cares,
Your hours pass, unheeded all the glories
OF that great world beyond the nursery
stairs.
One schoolmate's pen has written words Of
beauty,
Her poems sing themselves into the heart;
Anothcr's brush has magic; You have duty;
No time to spare for poetry or art
But only time for training little fingers,
And teaching youthful spirits to be true;
You know not with what famine woman
fingers,
With art alone to fill her, watching you.
And yet, think you'd rather keep the babies,
Albeit their heads grow heavy on your arm.
Than have the poets fair, enchanted lnay-bes.
The artists visions, rich with dazzling charm
Sweet are the troubles Of the happy hours,
For even in WEAKNESS your soul is bleSt,
And rich contcntment all your being dowers
That yours is not hushed and empty nest.

were brarely grunting defiance. The

were bravely grunting defiance. The
wolf was running around them, swapping
his Jaws and doing all in his power to
frighten faint-hearted pig out of the cir
Gle. The compact ring Of sturdy little
black porkers slowly moved down the
road, never faltering, but constantly
keeping up their war grunt. AS they

in pork, and retired to the hills to hunt
jack rabbits. 1 never had any anxiety
about my pigs after that.
Once | built n pen for 100 stock hogs
by 4 deep pond of water. | ran the
fence out into the pond to where the
water was five feet deep; then I took
logs and, claiming them together,
stretched them between the ends of the
fence. This made q pen with big pond
in it, and the pigs could not get out un-
less they dived under the logs. | was
raised in the belief that pig could not
swim. The hogs were driven to the
pen, put in, and, rs l had self-feeding
corn-bins that were full, / flattered my
self that was rid of the personal care oi
those hogs until butchering time. The
result was that they became such expert
divers that they were never in the pen.
They would swim. out to the logs and
dive under. If l went to the pen on
horseback, accompanied by my dog,
would gather them up by setting the
dog on them, make them all jump into
the pond, swim to the log, plunge under
it and swim ashore into their pen. There
the dog dared not follow.
The courage of sow with young in
her nest is something wonderful. Nc

can drive her from them. She will die
in defense of her pigs, and the wolf
doesn't live that can get the better OF
razor-back sow. She will always eat
young pigs, provided they are not her
own. Her own she never eats. The
pigs of any other sow she considers le-
Ultimate food, and she will eat them up
to the time that they are three weeks
old; and any other sow in turn will eat
her pigs. The sows regard each other
with an evil eye. Distrust, doubt, un-
certainty reign everywhere until the
pigs are quick and active. Then the
friendly family relations are resumed.
1t is strange, but l have never seen a
boar eat young pigs, and / have had all
kinds-hom the blooded wind-split-
ters'' to the pure Berkshires-and never
had 4 pig eaten by one of them.

The Morning Comes Before the Sun.


Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose
From out nights gay and cloudy sheath,
Softly and still it grows and grows,
Petal by petal, Leaf by leaf ~. o,
Each sleep-lmprisoned creature breaks
Its dreamy fetters one by one,
And love awakes, and labor wakes
The morning comes before the sun -..g
What is this message from the light
So fairer far than light can be?
Youth stands tiptoe, eager, bright,
In haste the risen sun to see;
All! check thy longing, restless heart,
Count the charmed moments as they run.
1t is life's best and fairest part, ,'.'.
This morning hour before the sun.
When once thy day shall burst to flower,
When once the sun shall climb the sky
And busy hour by busy hour .......
The urgent noontide draws anigh,
When the long shadows creep abreast
To dim the happy task half tone,
Thou wilt recall this pause Of rest,
This morning hush before the sun.
To each one dawning and one dew
One fresh young hour is givon by fate,
One rose flush on the early blue
Be not impatient then, but wait!
Clasp the sweet peace on earth and sky
By midnight angels woven and spun,
Better than day its prophecy ...:.
The morning comes before the sun. :.

TIMELY TOPICS.

The so-called "Horse Communities of
Russia flourish in all cities where there are
universities. Most of the poorer students,
who are free from prejudices, live upon
horse-fesh, which can be procured at one
fifth the price of beef. 1t is the custom OF
such students to board in parties OF from
FIVE to twenty, and hence the name of
"Horse Communities" So many Nihilists
have been found in these communities that
the horse-meat eaters are liable to prosecu-
tion by the government.
The Cherokees, with population OF
$4,000, support two seminaries, male and

They annually expend for purposes OF edu-
cation $4,000. The seminaries and asylums
are in brick buildings, with three stories
and basement, and are quite handsome
and commodious. They were erected at a
cost of $4,000 each. The Creeks number
14,26O, have twenty-eight public schools and
two mission schools, with 1900 pupils, cost

The "Loyal Sons of America " is the
title OF an organization which was founded
in 1871, and now lays claim to ten thousand

years of age, and their professed object is to
Join the American youths together "by the

of Justice, honor and noble deeds will be
carried out, and prepare ourselves for any
position OF trust we shall be called upon
to FILL" They have constitution and by
laws, and "wigwams" in New York, Brook
lyn, Boston and other large cities. The first
wigwam was established at Medusa, near
Coxsackie, and the association intends to

A case in which a romantic girl played
an important part is narrated in the Mis-
souri, papers. She, with other ladies, were
visiting the penitentiary at Jefferson City,
when she was struck with the appearance OF
a youthful convict, and his story was told
by the warden. When boy just out OF
college he had become implicated in the
embezzlement of trust funds, for which his
family disoWned him. Believing him in
nocent, the story kindled her enthusiasm,
and an introduction was followed by
promises to correspond. This she did in
spite of the remonstrances of hcrfamily and
friends, and before his term of imprison-
ment expired she had engaged to marry the
convict. The day he was to be liberated
she appeared in carriage at the entrance,
and both parties were ready for an entranc-
ing consummation of their fondest hopes,
when a horrid old unromantic officer ar
rested the embezzler on another Indictment.

THE CRISIS IN TRANCE.

A crisis in the affairs of the republic of
of France has arrived, and the outcome will
be watched with anxiety by the friends of
free government all over the world. Presi
dent MacMahon has resigned his Office be-
cause of disagreement with his ministers
relative to the retirement of officers of the
army, and various other matters connected
with its organization. The acts of the min
listers received the appreciation of the Senate
and the Chamber Of Deputies, and as, under
the constitution of France the President has
no veto power, he had to sign the DEGREES
promulgated OF resign his Office. He choose
tbs latter alternative, taking good care, how
ever, az true patriot should, that his act
sho3ld cause no unusual commotion, and in
no way disturb the peace of the nation.
The chambers had no discretion but to
accept President MacMahon's resignation.
There was little delay in choosing success
sor' who was found in the person Of M.
Grevy, who was chosen by vote of $50 to
~. This seems to indicate coalition be-
tween the radicals, Bonapartists and Orlean-
something novel in the Lolitics of
France. which does not argue we'll for the

erto it has been thought as impossible for
these elements to coalesce as for oil and water
to comminele. But politics make strange
bedfellows, We presume, in France as we'll as
in America. Grevy was, during the empire,
trusted friend of Louis Napoleon, but after
the revolution of 1871 cast his lot with the
moderate wing of the Republicans. He
was chosen by M. Theirs for a minis
terial position, and subsequently has
been twice in the ministry undec President
MacMahon, and has recently led an i'm
portant portfolio in the cabinet. He has
much experience in public affairs, but as
politician is as uncertain Gas they make
them" if We may be allowed to use an un-
conventional though expressive phrase. He
has neither the stability nor the honesty that
have characterized the marshal President.
He will be at the mercy of every popular
wave that may pass over the country, and
blow hot or cold, just as may seem to him
expedient. We fear that under his admins
tration France will not enjoy that peace and
prosperity that has marked the history of
the country within the past five or six years.
Although a change of dynasty has az
parently taken place without disturbance, it
will be we'll to make no hasty predictions,
nor yet to enter npon any speculations as to
the developments of the near future. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that whatever further
changes are to take place may occur without
undue disturbance, and may result in
strengthening the government. But We
fear greatly that the republic will lose much
in stability by the retirement of President
MacMahon, for he has had steady hand
and clear head, in add ion to heart full
of patriotism and sincere desire for the we'll
fare of his country. A few days, however,
will show whether or not mistake has been
made, or whether or not. that mistake is
irretrievabie.

Application for Relief.

The Relief society have many queer appll.
cants for relief. Yesterday an old Swede
woman came in we'll recommended. She
was told to wait and her case would receive
attention. She went out while waiting TO,
her turn, and came back. Came back Just
"bilin'." She couldn't wait any longer;
wasn't in the humor to idle around. She de-
manded, and after some difficulty Helen
Thalberg was elected, and the relief,ofice re-
lieved of her obnoxious presence.
Another was man. He wanted some
thing to eat, something to drink, something
to wear and somewhere to sleep. Secretary
Chase offered to supply all his wants if he'd
saw little wood. He repealed the sugges-
ton with great indignation, and left.
The most wonderful letters are received

who seek and obtain to avoid work. Bat

charities, and the relief extended-in a
wholesale way, this wlnter-hes been given

1t is very evident that three fourths of the
session of the House of Representatives is 10
De taken up with debate and one-fourth
with business. Yesterdays proceedings were
not, however, devoid of interest, for two
topics of general concern were up for discus
sion and were very thoroughly dissected
First came the joint resolution authorizing
the State treasurer to borrow money to re-
plenish Mr.. Textbook Merrill's depleted
Golfers. It was on its third reading, and
hence no amendment could be entertained
except by unanimous consent. Mr.. Benson
inaugurated the disturbance by plea for the
passage of the resolution. He did SO on the
ground that the State was under legal and
moral obligation to pay Mr.. Merrill for the
books he had delivered. He did not wish to
defend the law by which the obligation had
been incurred, but as it was now binding
upon the State he thought that
good faith required that it
be discharged. Mr.. Hicks entered
a vigorous protest against the measure. He
would not consent to measure that had

the novelty of their positions, and shaking
off the bashfulness natural on such occa-

lions of grief, remorse, faith, hope and tr-

merited applause. Miss Bessie Wheeler
