man, with a request to publish it,,
and adds that it may have some eff
fleet upon some young men who now
show q disposition to speak barshly
to their mothers, and disobey her
commands. (" We hope every young
man will read it carefully and com
INIT il to memory.
Honor the dear oldmother. Time
has scattered the snowy fakes on her
brow, plowed deep burrows on her
cheek, but is she not sweet and beau
tiful now. The lips are thin and
shfunken, but those are the lips
which have kissed many hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they
are the sweetest lips in allthe world.
The eye is dim, yet it glowswith the
soft radiance Of holy love which can
never fade. All, yet, she is a dear
old mother. The sands Of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is,
will go further and reach down lower
for you than any other upon earth
You can not walk into a midnight
where she can not see you; you can
not enter a prison whose bars will
keep her out; you can never mount
a scafold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you in
1eyidence Of her deathless love-
When the world shall despise and
forsake you, when it leaves you by
the wayside to die unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you in
her feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul is
disfgured by vice. Love her tender
ly, and cheer her declining years
with holy devotion"

a visitation from this dread disease,
this year. Inorderto be ready tomeet
Eit, if it nears our vicinity, we should
have our town in a good sanitary con-
dition, and to do this all our people
must aid the authorities.
