The Mother Rules the World.

It is hard for young mother, who
has not yet overcome the hayward ten
denotes of her own youthful nature, to
realize the influence she exerts over her
little ones. She is constantly surround
ed by critical imitators who copy her
morals and manners. AS the mother is,
SO are her sons and daughters. If a
family of children are blessed with an
intelligent mother, who is dainty and
refined in her manner and does not
consider it necessary to be one woman
in the drawing-room and an entirely diff
ferent person in everyday life, but who
is true mother and always a tender,
charming woman, you will invariably
see her habits Of speech and perfect
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy boys
will always tone down their voices, and
step lightly, and try to be more man
nerly when she stops to give them a
kind word or a pleasant smile-for a
true mother will never fail to say or do
all the pleasant things that she can that
will in any way help or lift up and
cheer those whose lives are shaded with
care and toll. The mother of to-day
rules the world of tomorrow.

A MOTHERS DIARY.

Morning! Baby on the floor,
Making for the fender:
Sunlight seems to make it sneeze;
Baby con bender?"
All the spools upset and gone,
Chairs drawn into file,
Harnessed strings all strung across,
Ought to make one smile.
Apron clean, curls smooth, eyes blue
How these charms will dwindleO,
For l rather think-don't you
Baby ais swindle?"
Noon! A tangled, silken floss
Getting in blue eyes;
Apron that will not keep clean,
If baby triesl
One blue shoe united, and one
Underneath the table;
Chairs gone mad, and block and toys,
Well as they are able;
Baby in high chair, too,
Yelling for his dinner,
Spoon in mouth; think-don't you
Baby "is sinner!"
Night Chairs all set back again,
Blocks and spoons in order;
One blue shoe beneath the mat
Tells of marauder;
Apron folded on chair,
Plaid dress torn and wrinkled,
Two pink feet kicked pretty bare.
Little fat knees crinkled;
In his crib, and conquered, too,
By sleep, best evangel.
Now l surely think-don't you
Baby is an angel?

ART AND NATURE.
Eliza Jane two lovers had
The one was Nature, t'other Art
They were so very near alike
She couldn't tell the two apart.
At last, to test their qualities
And give to one the vantage place,
She proffered each photograph
Of her ethereal, tempting face.
Art snatched the pretty paper prize
And pres sed it to his heart, and then
He put it to his marble lips
And kissed it o'er and DER again,
But Nature hurled the painted gift
Aside with naughty. calm disdain.
And graphing her with strong embrace,
he kissed that plump Eliza Jane.
"Begone, o Art!" the maiden cried
"Let critics hymn your praise sublime.
But men are men and girls are girls
And I'll take Nature every time!"

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
On the 25th of June 1877 Henry T..
Fugate was shot in the back and NOR
tally wounded, between the handles of
his plow, in his own corn field near
Nickelsville, in the county of Scott, Va.
His house was distant some 400 yards,
and his wife, while standing in the door.
heard the report of the gun, and seeing
his horse plunging from fright, went to
his assistance and had him taken home,
where he died the next afternoOn.--
Daniel Deem, his uncle by marriage,
was suspected, and before Fugalc died
he sent for Deane TO come and see him,
with the message that he would forgive
him. Deane declined TO go. During
the two and a half years that have sue
cceded the murder, no mortal ha! been
found who saw the murder committed,
and no one found, who on that day saw
Deem any nearer the bloody spot than
his own house, half a mile distant across
II wooded ridge.
Circumstances alone indicated him as
the murderer, and accordingly he was
arrested. While under arrest, though
stoutly denying his guilt, he broke from
the guard, ran and made his escape. This
increased the suspicion against him, and
vigorous measures, resulting in his rear
rest, were taken. He was sent on, in
dicted, and three times arraigned before
jury. Two Of the jurics of his own
county disagreed, and finally one was
obtained from the adjoining county q
Washington, which pronounced him
Of murder in the first degree. Deem was
astounded at this, for his counsel had be-
| licyCd he never could be convicted On

pint of alcohol. Cork the bottle, make
a hole in the cork and insert quill
through which to pour the mixture.
Pour into every crack and crevice; but

THE FARMERS WOOING.

The daisies nodded in the grass, the butter
cups were sleeping,
And Just across the river sang the farmers at
their reaping;
Upon the hills, so blue and Tar, the maple
leaves were showing
Their soft white beauties in the breeze that
from the sea was blowing.
A little maid came through the land with
song and ripping laughter;
The buttercups made way for her, the dali
sizes nodded after.
A strong young farmer saw her pause beside
the parting river;
She drew a lily from its depths with golden
heart a-quiver.
9 Thou art more fair than lilies are" said he,
with head uplifted,
And threw a poppy as the stream toward the
maiden drifted.
She set the flowers in her hair-the red and
white together;
A cloud grew black before the sun, and
rainy was the weather.
He came across the river then, this farmer,
from his moving; oe2
He minded not the waters depth, he cared
not for it, flowing.
d o love"' said he, Elf cleaning sun and
cloudlcSs skies o'crlean us,
The rivers barring width may roll unpassed,
untIied between Us,
But when loud thunder fills the air, ana
clouds and rain come over,
I'd cross the ocean TO your side-l am no
fair day lover"
And so one day the village bells rang out
across the river,
Their music set the buttercups and daisies
all a-quiVer,
While some one drew a lily from the stream
so bithely flowing,
And plucked blood red poppy that amid
the wheat was growing;
The maiden sat them in her hair-the red
and white together
With many n smile, a tear or two, and
chances at the weather.
They passed beneath the chapel's shade
the farmer and the maiden
Where arches crossed above their heads,
with snowy blossoms laden,
And in that place of holy calm the binding
words were spoken;
He in his heart bore out the truth, she on
her hand the token.
The years went by, and some were bright
and some were clOuded over,
But ever stood he at her side-he was no
fair day lover.

In gardens, where but yesterday
Ger rainbow tints the sun was glowing,
The slopes lie huelesS now, and bare,
Save in warm corners here and there,
Where blue chrysanthemu1ns are blowing.
The sun of all his fire looks shOrn,
And wrapped in ashen clouds lies sleeping
There is chill in every breath;
A CHASTITY grayneSs, as of death,
Seems DER the dreary landscape creeping.
So falls the night But with the morn,
A lifted mist, and 10! wonder!
The skies that shine Italia's seas
Glow not more deeply blue than these
The suns bright lances cleave asunder.
A thousand hues of scattered light
Now touch the earth with crystal Splendor
The sOdden leaves are glorihed;
The river rolls golden tide;
And hearts grow warm and eyes grow ten

This Is a wonder, passing strange,

And yet, beyond the touch of Time,
In every age, in every cline,
Hath not each life its Indian Summer?

To Clean Paint: Use but little water
at once; keep it warm and clean by
changing it often. A flannel cloth takes
off all fy-speck better than cotton.
Soap will remove the paint, so use but
little of it. Cold tea is the best liquid
for cleaning vanished paint, window
panes and mirrors. A saucer of Sifted
ashes should always be standing near to
clean unvarnished paint that has become
badly smoked; it is better than soap; it
can be thoroughly rinsed off, which will
never do to window glass. Wash off the
specks with warm tea, and rub the panes
dry; then make a paste of whiting and
water, and put little in the center of
each pane. Take a dry cloth and rub
it all over the glass, then rub it off with
channels skin or flannel, and your glass
will shine

TRAVELLERS describe two different
ways of shoeing horses in Turkey and
Russia, which may seem very awkward
compared with the simple methods of
American smiths. In Turkey and Ser
via the horses head is held by one man,
another holds the leo on his arms, while
the third operates on the foot. In Rus
STA the horse is placed in square cage
made of rough planks of wood and is
strapped around the belly with wide
leather straps to cross bars of the frame
work; his head is also tied safely; the
foot is fixed to stake in the ground
and held by an assistant while the smith
places the shoe on.
