MOTHERS WAY.
BY FATHER RYAN.


OFT within our little cottage
5 the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall
DO we gather close together,
And in hUshed and tender tone
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder why this custom
At the ending Of the day.
Eye and voice would quickly answer,
1T was once our mothers way"
II our home be bright and choery,
lift holds a welcome true,
Opening wide its door of greeting
To the many-not the few;
If 1--WE share our fathers bounty
With the needy day by day,
lis because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hands grow weary,
Or our tasks seem very long;
When our burdens look too heavy
And we deem the right all wrong;
Then we gain anew fresh courage,
And we rise to proudly say
Let US 90 our duty bravely-
This was our dear mothers way"
Thus we keep her memory precious,
While we never cease to pray
That at last. when lcugthening shadows
Mark the evening OF our day,
They may find us waiting calmly
To 20 home our mothers way.

GAN Things Are Now Ready"

From age to age the call is still the
same. AS one generation sweeps another
off the stage-some needing, some de-
spising, some not even hearing the be-
nignant invitation, it is still repeated !:
sAll things are now ready" Yes, at
whatever moment the poor, sin-sick,
starved, exhausted sinner first begins
to feel his want, and turns his dim and
haggard eyes toward that scene of
splendor and festivity, before unknown
or madly disregarded-however I'M
timely the appeal may seem-though
the prayer be breathed at midnight, in
the dark, from the beggar's howell, the
field of battle, or the dungeon, or the
scaftold-the response is still the same ::
"Come, for all things are now ready"
The resort to this supply can never be
too early; it should never be too late.
It can never be too early; for the soul
is never without consciousness of want
"a restless craving for enjoyments,
better than the best it has experienced.
1t should never be too late-as it is,
alasl too late for thousands because
all things are now ready; and when all
things are now ready, and the opportu-
nifty afforded of securing them but
transient, it is self-destruction to refuse
acceptance-it is folly, it is madness
even to postpone it,. Il. Alexander.

CHAPTER II.
DANGER AHEAD.

1t was four o'clock upon dull afternoon
in October, The uptown avenues were al
most entirely deserted except by few soil
tary foot-passengers, who looked as lively as
travellers in desert.
In studio on one Of the small thorough
fares of New York an artist sat at his easel
He was young and handsome, but there was
q look of discomfort in his face, shadow O.
care upon his brow, which gave ON unnatu
rally grave expression to his countenance.
1t was the face Of man who suffers, and
suffers intensely
The picture on his easel was q small mini
AZURE portrait portrait of a woman beau
tiful as dreanl-beautiful as an angel or a
tairy-with that pure and enchanting lowell
ness which seems to speak Of the skies-al-
most too beautiful for this common earth
and the creatures who dwell upon its surface.
:: The eyes were blne, large, bright and
lmpid. The small nose was OF the pures;
form of Grecian; the lips OF the bright GRIM
son of newly-ripened cherry, were slightly
parted, disclosing teeth which glittered like
pearls. The face was framed in floating
fresses of hair, of that shining, golden hue
which is so often described by poets, yet SO
rarely seen in LIE.

How the Earth Was First Mapped Out.

What these early maps were we do
not know, but can from reasonable
conjecture. The earth at that time was
supposed to be flat circular plain, or
disk, the broadcast part being from east
to west, which was entirely surrounded
by an ocean, or greatriver, that washed
it upon. all sides. In about the
center of this plain Greece was supposed
to be situated; the great central sea of
the inhabited region was the Mediter-
ranean. The farthest point known at
the west was the Straits of Gibraltar,
then called the Pillars of Hercules.
The southern part comprised the..North
of Africa as far as the deserts; while the
region north embraced the countries
bordering upon the Mediterranean, and
an unknown hyperborean land farther
to the north, with the Euxine and
Caspian seas at the northeast. The
farthest eastern point known was
about the western limit of India.
This was what would then be
contained in map as representation
OF the earth. The SUN was supposed to
pass under and around this fat plain,
which was then the mode of accounting
for the changes Of day and night. The
space beneath was supposed to be a
great vault, called Tartarus, the abode
Of the spirits Of the wicked among men,
as the region corresponding to it above
the plain was the heaven, or abode of
the gods. The unknown region beyond
the Pillars Of Hercules was filed up
with creations of the fertile imagination
of the Greeks. To the northwest and
north were the CiInmerians, people
living in perpetual darkness, and the
Hypecboreans, race supposed to be
exempt from toll, disease, or wars, who
enjoyed life for thousand years in a
state of undisturbed serenity. To the
west of Sicily were the enchanted Is
lands of Gree and Calypso, and the
floating Island OF Eolls. A little to
the north of the Pillars of Hercules was
the entrance to the internal regions;
and far out in the Western ocean, be-
yond the limits of the known earth, was
the happy region called Elysium, land
of perpetual summer, where a gentle
zephyr constantly blew, where tempests
were unknown, and where the spirits of
those whosel lives had been approved by
the gods dwelt in perpetual felicity.
Here, also, were the Gardens of the
Hesperides, with their golden apples
guarded by the singing nymphs, who
dwelt on the River Oceanus, which was
in the extreme west, and the position of
which was constantly shifted as geo.
graphical knowledge increased--Pop-

Big Fees.

Erskine, the leader of the English bar
in his time, and one of the most brilliant
lawyers Great Britain ever produced,
never received greater yearly income
than 100000 and more than $4,000 in
any one case. Sir James Scarlet, after
wards Lord Abinger, very successful
lawyer, had an income certainly not to
exceed Erskine's. The same is true of
Garrows, another great English lawyer
Ballantyne received from the British
Government very large fee for going
to Cal ,utta to try murder case, but a
large part Of it was consumed in e1-
penses.
America takes the lead in big lawyer
fees, and il is only dozen years or SO
that our lawyers have been so lucky.
Pinckney, Webster, Choate or any of
our great lawyers in times past never
dreamed of such extravaganza bills. The
first great fee ever known in this coun-
try was received by Clarkson N. Potter,
in the foreclosure of the Canandiagua
railroad, not many years ago. It is
stated that he received 100000 in that
case. It is reported that Charles O'Con-
or received $4,000 in the Jumel will
case and 500, 900 in the Parrish will case.

And warm with tender power.

For songs of love. from Scotaud's braes,
Now rate tie air again.
Just six-score years ago and one
Creations womb was torn,
When God a genius gave the world,
The earth a man to mourn
Whose Tyre has filed our hearts with JOY,
Whose manhood made him ours;
Songs tender vein his faults blot out
MaEg ochils, braes and flowers.

His gurgling streams and warbling birds
Cur spirits never tire.
Loves tender. golden charm he woye
In every homely line,
And draped the common things of life
In raiment bright and fine.
Who brand man because of faults,
And will not own his worth.

Abnormal from their birth.
For greater bard than hath sung,
In realms I ne'er have trod,
That he who sings the love Of man
Hath sung the love of God.

Fire andLoss of Life.

A Buffalo, N. Y. telegram of Dec. X,
says, serious fire attended by loss of life oc-
Cured here this evening. About s o'clock q
fire was discovered in the third story of the
fye-story building owned by Geo. w. Telft. on
Prairie street, and was occupied by Birge &
Sons, wallpaper manufacturers. The build
ing was eighty feet front by about 300 feet
depth. One hundred and fifty men and boys:
were employed at the present time, the bust
ness demanding extra help; the whole num-
Der were at work and in less than tWentyimin-
utes after the alarm was given the building
was q mass of flames, the walls crumbled and
fell and probably burned twenty to thirty of
the employees. The doors to different rooms
were hung to swing in. and heavy spring
Closing them, thereby retarding egress OF the
occupants. The building was without fire
escape of any kind, and the terrified working
men jumped from windows and many OF them
escaped with broken bones and bruised bodies.
Three in upper stories unable to escape aP-
peared for moment at the windows and
then sank back suffocated in smoke and
flames. Parents and friends of the dead and
missing ones surrounded the ruins, land the
streets are full OF rumors, and probably list
| OF known to be killed will be more than
doubled when the smoking bricks and ruins
l.can be removed. Loss between $4,000 and
100000.

4 New Commandments

LII the seventeenth century the minis
ter of q certain parish in Scotland was
tie famous Samuel Rutherford, the re-
ligious .erAc1e OF the Covenanters and
their adheFents. It is among the tradi-
tons that s,n a Saturday evening, at one
Of the family gatherings, when Ruther-
ford was estechising his children and
servantsssa stranger Knocked at the door
and begged shelter for the night The
minister kindly received him, and asked
him to take his place with the family
and assist at their religious exercises.
It SO happened that the question in
the catechism which came to the @tran-
ger was that which asks g How many
commandments are there q He an
swered, ssEleven." Eleven T. ex-
claimed Rutherford. II am surprised
that d man Of your age and appearance
should not know better what do you
mean o. And he answered: &c A new
commandment | give unto you, that We
love one another; as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another" Ruth
erford was much impressed by the an
swer, and they retired to rest. The next
morning, as he threaded his way to
church through the thicket, he heard
among the trees the voice Of the stranger
at his devotions The elevation Of the
sentiments convinced him that it was no
common man, and, on accosting him,
the traveller confessed that he was nc
other than the great divine, Archbishop
Usher, the Primate Of the Church OF
Ireland, who well fulfilled that new com
mandment which he bore to others. He
it was who had come in disguise to sec
Rutherford in the privacy of his own
home. Side by side they pursued Their
way to the little church, Ind from the
rustic pulpit the Archbishop preached
to the people from the words which had
so startled his host the evening before
GA new commandment give unto you,
that ye love one another. - Library

A Turkish Joker.

The best known story Of the tradition
al Joe Miller Of Turkey is that Of his
thrice fooling an assembly Of true be-
levers out of sermon by three success
i've jocular replies. The first time he
assembled the pulpit he said:
sob, true believers, do you know
what [ am going to say %
They replied
"No;" whereupon he asked:
OF what use is it to preach to such
ignoramuses ?" and came down from the
pulpit.
The next time, when he asked the
same question, they answered:
Yes, we know" whereupon he said !:
stThen it is useless for me to tell you, 2
and came down.
The third time, having taken counsel
together, the congregation prepared an
answer which they thought would cor
ner their joker preacher, and said I:
"Some Of us know and some of us
don't )" whereupon he promptly re-
piled
Let those who know tell those who
don't, and once m ore came down.
