Mother.

Around the idea OF ones mother
the miud OF man cllngs with atfec-
ton. 1t is the first dear thought
stamped upon our infant hearts,
when yet soft or capable of receiv-
ing the most profound impression,
and all the after feeling are more
or less light in comparison. Our
passion aud our willfulness may
lead us from the object of our ilial
love !; we may become wild, head
strong and angry at her cOuusels
or opposition, but when death has
stilled her mOnitory remains to re-
capitulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection, like the rainbow,
raises up her head and smiles
amidst the tears.

Good HumOr in the Family.

Good humor is rightly reckoned
a most valuable aid to happy home
lite. An equally good aud useful
faculty is a II of humOr or the
capacity to have a little fun along
with the humdrum cares and works
of life. W. all know how it bright
ems up things generally to have a
lively, witty companion who sees
the ridiculous points of things and
can turn All annoyance into an &C.
casion forlaughter. 1t does a great
deal better to laugh over some do
mestic mishaps than to cry or scold
over them. Many homes aud lives
are dull because they are allowed
to become too deeply impressed
with u sense Of tho cares and re-
spousibilities of life to recognize its
bright and especially its mirthtul
side. Into such a household, good
but dull, the advent OF u witty,
humorous friend Is like sunshine on
II cloudy day. ...
While it is always oppressive to
hear persons constantly striving to
say witty or funny things, it is
comfortable, seeing what bright
ener II little fun is, to make effort
to have sOlne ut home. 1t is well
to turn of an inpatient question
sometimes, and to regard it from IA
humorous point of view, instead of
being irritated about 1t. "Wite,
what is the reason | can never find
II clean shirlT exclaimed a good
but rather impatient husband, after
rummaging all through the wrong
drawer. His wife looked at him
steadily for a moment, half inclined
to be provoked ; then with comic
al look she said: 81 never could
guess connundrums Igive it up"
Then he laughed, and they both
laughed, and she went and got his
shirt, and he felt ashamed of himself
and kissed her; and she felt happy,
and so what might have been an
occasion for hard words and unkind
feeling became just the contrary,
all through the little vein of humor
that cropped out to the surface.
Some people have "a peculiar tact
for giving a humorous turn to things
when they are %reproved. 1t does
just as we'll oftentimes to laugh
things off as to scold them off.
Laughter is better than tears. Let
us have alittle more athome.-Sat-
urddu EreniRg Post.

The woman. was old and ragged and gray
And bent with the chill Of the winters day
The street was wet with a recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow
She stood ut tho crossing and waited long
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye
Down the street, with laughter and shout
Glad in the fl. elom of "school let out"
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the IN 80 old and gray
fastened the children on the way,
Nor offered II helping hand to her.
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels OF horses feet
Should crowd her down in tho slippery
street.
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the group.
He paused beside her, and whispered low,

And somebody's mother bowed low her

SENATOR Bob Hart as q soldier OF
the Cross. James M. Switzerland,
known to the theatrical world as
"Bob Hart" was baptised at noon
by the Bey. John Quincy Adams.
The church was crowded, in anticl'
patton of the baptism Of the mln-

premely happy as he grasped the
clergyman's hand, and when no
emerged from the water there was
a sparkle in his eye which spoke III

II years of age, and for twenty.
three years has been before the
world in the character of a stump
orator in the Minstrel hall. His
lite has been one of dissipation
and excitement. The whisky which
inspired at first d~emoralized at last.
He lost engagements because he
was not reliable, and was fast de-
cending to utter disgrace when
the hand of Christ, as he says, was
stretched forth to save him. Mr..
Adams described the rescue of
Bob Hart: "Four weeks ago,
Switzerland was returned to Hack
ensack. He had been on a spree
and was drunk at the time. Some
persons in the car told him Billy
Dwyer had signed the pledge. The
intelligence sobered him. He said
to himself: If Dryer can reform
there is hope for me- He deter
mined to reform then and there.
1t was a terrible struggle with the
whisky in his system, but, with the
aid of his wife, he fought it out.
He hunted up Dwyer, went with
him to Evans temperance meeting,
and signed the pledge. From that
moment he began to seek salvation,
and Oh the next Friday afternoon
was cleary converted. The trans
formation Of the man was complete.
He has renounced the stage, and
is going to devote himself to the
Gospel ministry. He will make "a
great clergyman. He has the gift
of clothing his thoughts of Ian

Sheep Talk.

We arc pleased to notice the
great interest manifested in the
matter of sheep husbamdry. 1t
has become almost epidemic and
merchants, lawyers, physicians and
retired gentlemen are investing
their money in this industry. OF
course there will be disappoint-
ments, acknowledgements and fail
ures. Many will a%ttempttoo much
and fail. Some will do too little
and lose all. Considerable judg-
ment is necessary, where expert
ence is wanting.
A few sheep can and should be
kept OIL every farm. There is no
land so rich that sheep will not i'm
prove it; there is none too poor to
furnish sufficient grazing to IL mod
crate flock. Sheep will thrive on
food that cattle and horses will not
touch. They are certain death to
all kinds of briars and most kinds
of weeds, and theamount of forage
a flock or moderate numbers would
consume in a year would scarcely
be noticed. %
Wool, lambs and mutton bring
money to the farmers purse more
than once a year. In this respect
it is wholly unlike cotton. For the
money invested and the attention
bestowed, nothing can pay better.
Money in sheep is reasonably safe
and sure to pay dividends, if the
same attention is given tothem asis
always bestowed upon other bust
ness investments. Great are and
watchfuluess are prerequisites to
success-without these, ruin is as
certain as the sun is to rise.
