THE MOTHERS PROPHECY.
BY MRS. JULIA c. r. DORR.
CHAPTER II.

CHhIlEh IL.
Years, many years had passed since the
conversation narrated in the previous chap
ter, and Andrew Gordon was no longer
the sole tenant of the sweetest valley that
lcpt beneasth, the shadow of the Green
Mountains, small but pleasant village had
sprung up around the site of his old log
house and, upon the very spot where that
had once stood, arose an imposing brick
mansion, that seemed to look haughtily
down upon the humber dwellings around
it. A small church-of simple, yet taste
full architecture-liftcd its spire a few pa
ces farther on; two merchants-rivals, of
course-dsplay their gilded signs on either
side of the street just below, and numerous
little heads might have oeen seen pceping
from the windows of the schoolhouse over
the river.
Andrew Gordon was rich man. He had
added acre to acre, and farm to FARM
The factory-whose machinery moved so
steadily from morning till night, and the
grist.mill-whose wheels whirl round so
necessarily, belonged to him and it was
more than hintcd, that one Of the stores
although managed in the name of another
was, In reality, his property.
Yes, Andrew Gordon was rich man ;
but was he satisfied? Was that craving
thirst for the "gold that perishcth" oucnch.

ly than ever. Amy-his pure and gentle
Amy-slept in the little church-yard, where
the white tombstones contrasted so beauti-
fully with the deep green turf, and where
the willow-trces made cool, refreshing
sdade even at MONDAY.
She had pleaded and reasoned with him in
vain. Day by day he be came more and more
deeply engrossed in the pursuit of wealth
With mind capable of the highest things
with an intellect that might have scared
above the stars-with eloquencc at his
command, by which he might have sway ed
the hearts Of men, and led them captive at
his will, he yet preferred to hover near the
earth, and offer up genius, talent, even
love itself, upon the alter of mammon.
Had any one told him that he had almost
ceased to love his wife, he would have
spurned the idea, and have laid the "lat-
tering JUNCTION to his soul" that he was in
deed q pattern husband. Were not all his
wiles wants most literally supplied? Was
not money ever at her command. In short.
did he ever deny her any thing
Yes, Andrew Gordon! You denied her
what was Of more worth to her than the
gold and silver Of Peru. You denied her
little your precious time So absorbed
were you in your own pursuits, so fearful
were you that every hour would not add
something to your store, that YOU had no
time to devote ts'her whose happiness was

ABOUT PRINTERS.

/ wish was printer,
really do, indeed;
1t seems to me that printers
Get everything they need
Except money.
They get the largest and the best
OF everything that grows,
And get free into circuses,
And other kinds Of shows
(By paying Oh equivalent.)
At ladies' fairs they're almost Rugged
BY pretty girls who know
That they will praise up everything
The ladies have to show
That's SOY
And then get q blowout FREQ
At avery party feed
And the reason is because they write,
And other people read.
That's what's the matter.)

THE CONQUERED BANNER.
By FATHER RYAN.

Furl that banner, for tits weary;
Round its staff It's dropping dreary,
Furl it--fold it /; it is best:
For there's not man to wave it,
And there's not soul to save it,
There's not one left to lave it
In the blood that heroes gave it;
And its foes now scorn and brave it
Furl it-fold it let it rest
Take that banner down 'Tis tattered
Broken is its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Over whom it fleated high,
Oh tits hard for us to fold it
Hard to think there's none to hold it
And that those who once unrolled it
Now must furl it with sigh
Furl that banner Furl it sadly.
Once, six millions hailed it gladly,
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
Swore it should forever wave!
Swore that foeman's sword should never
Hearts entwined like theirs discover
And, upheld by bravo endcavor,
That dear flag should float forever
Der their freedom or their grave.
Furl it For the hands that grasped it,
And tho hands that fondly clasped it,
Cold and dead are lying low;
And that banner prone is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe
For, though conquered, they adore it;
Love the cold, dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And, oh wildly they decplore it,
Now to turl and fold it so!
Furl that banner True, tis CORY;
Yet tbs wreathed around with glory,
And, twill live in song and story,
Though now prostrato in the dust!
For its fame OH brightest pages
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall 90 sounding down the ages,
Furl its folds though now we must
Furl that banner sadly, slowly!
Treat it gently-it is holy,
For it waves above the dead.
Touch it not-unfurl it never!
Let it lie there, furled forever
For its peoples hopes are dead
