My Mothers Como.
MY soul is filed with anguish,
And sorrow Wreatfes my brow,

shy soul filed with anguish,
Aud sorrow wreathes my brow,
For q loving smile anguish,
81 That has gouo from my pathway now
fGope like tho sweet wild flowers
That bloomed in tho sunny juno;
Vanished liked tho happy hours,
That passed from my life too soon.
Yet try to be light hearted,
To forget my deep despair;
But oh! to think wo are parted
Is moro than / can boar.
: Othors cling around mo,
And whisper words of cheer;
Yet they only mako mo love thee
With deeper, firmcr love.
I dream of thee at midnight,
When tho stars are in tho sky,
Aud wander again at moonlight,
And watch the clouds float by.
I sit on the banks of Granny's Quarter
In tho summer evenings glow,
And feel my sad heart quiyer
With tho mcm'ry Of long ago;
And l whisper sweet and softly,
Oh, take me back again
Back to thy heart, and lovo nc!
Yot l plead, and plead in vain.
Oh, the day that thou didst leave me,
How they steal around mo now;
It'll tho sunlight Of their mcm'ry
Flushcs my check and brow!
And, again, | feel thee near mo
Whom the starlight gems tho sky,
And, again, l fondly bid thee
A sad. long goodbye.

TIE SECULAR PREss.-Tho Rev. j. M :.
Sherwood before tho Brooklyn Presbytery
last week paid tho following tribute to tho
secular press:
1t is well 10 bear in mind that tho rcli-
gious weekly is no longer tho solo or chief
paper that is read by ministers and church
members. Tho daily secular pioss has in
vaded tho field, and is already omniprcsent,
and almost supreme Us an educational
power not only in the State, but in tho
church, and, for tho most part, it is charac-
tcrized by greater enterprise and indcpcnd-
cpcc, greater breadth of view and freedom
of criticism in every department. of thought
and life than We iind in our church jour
nae. Hence tho religious weekly of to day
us every man Of disccrnmcnt and broad
observation knows--is not the power it
once was; its opinions have little weight;
its policy and principles scarcely affect the
religious thought and life of to day, while
the daily secular press is fast taking its
place, and gaining tho cars and hearts Of
the people, and making its way into every
household every day Of the week, not cx-
ccpting even the Sabbath; full Of informa-
tion, ready in discussion, fearless, almost
unbridlcd in criticism, reviewing every
current question and phase of life, secular,
social, political and religious, thereby cdu-
eating and controlling tho great world by
its potent forces, and imperling the very
existence of our comparatively feeble aud
shacklcd religious wccklics. This change
is as marvellous as it is sudden. 1t was
easy to philosophiso upon the causes
which have produced it, but it is impossible
to forecast the effects of it on tho religious
sentiments and character of the next gene.

mcndous possibilities"

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.

The report made by Professor James H.
Smart, Superintendent of Public Instruction
of Indiana, upon the "Best System of Schools
for a State" and which was read at meet
ing OF the National superintendent Asso-
ciation held in Washington, d. c., on the
10th OF March last, is very justly regarded as
one of the ablest papers upon the subject
that has appeared. The report not only
evinces an intimate knowledge of educa
tional affairs. but thorough comprehension
Of the public school system, alike creditable
to Professor Smart and to the State of Indi.
ana. A careful reading Of the re-
port shows that nothing important
has been omitted, and each
branch OF the subject is discussed with such
clearness that the reader feels satisfied that
the report could scarcely be improved. In
diana now stands at the head of the list of
States in so far as her public schools are
concerned, and her progress in educational
affairs is one of the most remarkable features
of her growth, and challenges the admiration
of all who are familiar with the facts.
There has BEEN" says a contemporary, "a
wonderful improvement in both the ouar-
tity and quality Of education within the
last hundred years, but we have little mate
rial for precise comparison. The only coun-
tries where the majority of the adults could
read and write in 1880 were New England,
Scotland and Holland, and some cantons Of
Switzerland. In 1850, 75 per cent of the
adults of Spain, the Papal States and the
Neapolitsn Kingdom, could not read; and
in 1870 80 per cent. In France, % per cent.
in England, is per cent. in Holland, and
per cent. in Prussia, could not read. The
following table shows the total population
of various Nations, the number of pupils in
their elementary schools, and the percentage
of their pupils to the population:

LAYDoN, London detective of some forty
years standing, has just died. He was con-
cerned in all the modern causes celebres, such
as the Bldwell forgeries on the Bank of Eng

trait figures in Frith's famous Railway
Station"
THE first lady operator in the telegraph ser
vice was Miss Sarah g. Bagley, of Lowell,
Mass, who commenced In 1896. There was a
great prejudice against employing hmales on
the line, but few of the relatives of the ope-
rators gradually worked into the service. In
a few years the skiu of few bright lady ope-
ratives, gave them prominence in the profes-
sion, and now they are numbered by thous.
ands throughout the world.
CARTOONS are sometimes much more effect.

men who do duty on the stump during Q

Mrs. FREMONT, according to a Washington
correspondent, is still a remarkable looking
woman. She is stout in figure and her gray
hair is abundant She has kind, benevolent
expression, and is a fluent talker. Her style OF

made out of q camel's hair shawl, which was
once magnificent; black cashmere polonsIse
is worn with this Oriental skirt. Mrs. Ere

to ignore Indiana, and urges the South and the
West and the Democratic party to at once
recognizs New England as the great con-
trolling section. and yield to its isms. The
World proceeds to say that 1.-THE nomination
OF Mr.. Tilden is simply an impossibility;"
that his present position is game of
bluff" that may continue till the day Of the
Convention, when ''it will break" aud adds:
"And then the South must stand ready to
present and nominate the Democratic candi-
date. Why should not the South accept the
responsibilities to-day which the South then
must, and act upon them? What
the patriotic business men of the
land demand Is a real expression of
the real opinion of the solid South in the
nomination at Cincinnati. II the South
chooses q wise, upright, moderate and patri-
otto candidate, the North will stretch out q
hand of cordial union in response to it. 1t
is idle, childish, worse than useless, for the
South to expect to evade this issue and this
responsibility by standing mute and trem-
bling like a child in leadiDg-strings." We
have failed to notice on the part of the South
any disposition not to do its duty at Cincin-
natl, and, since Mr.. Hendricks Is strong in
the South, where he is regarded wise, up
right, moderate and patriotic" the probable
tiles are that the Southern delegates will
prefer Mr.. Hendricks to any other Democrat
named for the nomination.

Wonderful Story From South Carolina.
The following story is published in Char
lotte, n. c., from Franklintown, over the
signature of Mr.. s. W. Weaver, of that town.
He says Mrs. Martha Smith, of Chatham,
reports a remarkable case of suspended ami
nation, burial and resurrection, in the
person of married lady in that County,
who possessed a gold watch and finger
rings which she often expressed a de
sire to have buried with her whenever
she should die. Finally she was taken i'll,
and her life seemed to gradually ebb away
until her attending physician pronounced it
extinct At her burial her previous desire
was complied with, and the second night
after the interment white man and negro
went to the grave and exhumed her for the
purpose of obtaining the buried jewelry
AS they took the lid off the coffin and the
negro began pulling off a ring from her
finger, she raised up. At this both men
took fright and ran away. Finally the
negro went back, and she asked him what
he wanted. He told her he wanted her
rings and the white men her watch. She
requested to see the white man, whom the
other soon found and brought to her. She
requested him to go home with her. He did
so, and when she reached the door she
knocked. Her husband opened the door,
but tainted when he saw her, thinking 1t
was his dead wife's ghost. Mrs. Smith says
the lady is now living, and bids fair to attain
q good old age. and that she visits and is Wis
tied by her frequently.
