A Mothers Love.

Just before the circus opened yester-
day afternoon a woman, accompanied
by her son, a boy about sixteen years
of age, appeared on the grounds and
was the first at the ticket wagon. When
the window was opened the mother said
to the ticket-seller:
IF you will be SO kind as to let q
poor widow woman's Johnny into the
circus he will carry water to the ele-
plant"
"Stand back, madam, stand backr'
he cried as he took the half-dollars over
her head.
She took her boy by the hand and
marched to the entrance of the big
tent. explaining to the man at the door;
." My Johnny is going to carry hay to
the camels."
"You and your Johnny carry your.
selves right out of thisr' was the very
emphatic reply.
Couldn't we both go in for ten cents
if we set on the ground?"
"No, ma'am! Stand back, now; you
are in the wayr
They fell back for consultation. The
boy had tears in his eyes and the moth
er looked determined.
"Don'tcry, Johnny dear-your moth
err loves you and will get you in,' she
consolingly remarked, as she led him
again to the ticket wagon. Crowding
and pushing her way in, she called out
"This boys father was preacher,
and you ought to let him in free"
.Stand back, madam, stand back!'
was the answer she got.
Cant you let us in for ten centsP''
"No. nor
She drew the boy out of the crowd
and took walk around the tent. There
was a spot where the canvas was raised
q little, and as she halted there she
said:
johnny, q mothers love can sur.

and you crawl under the TENT.

didn't stop rolling until he had gone

him out, lifted him up and inquired

The scholars of the Lescune Acade-
my at Lyons, France, had received per-
mission to perform drama, entitled
The Death of the Duke de Guise," "
and to young Nicholas Tiene, an un-
commonly intelligent lad, was assigned
the part of the Duke. When the great
" situation" of the piece, De Guise's
assassination occurred, the boys cast for
the roles of the murderer fell upon poor
little Tiene with such fury that they
literally beat and trampled him to death.
He became insensible under their savage
onslaught, and expired in acute agony
after three days incessant suffering,
the victim of his fellow scholars over
anxiety to impart thoroughly realistic
character to their performance.

to mere touch of his lips to her cheek
He thought he was being cheated and
hence his effort to recover.

The Death OF Charles A. Carter,
Esq-As flowers carry dew drops, tremb-
ling on the edges of the petals and ready to
fall at the first watt Of wind, or brush of
bird, SO the hour brings moistened eyes as
we chronicle with bitter grief the death of
Charley Carter Every one who knew him
loved him, and of all earthly music which
reaches the farthest into Heaven is the beat
ing Of a sincere and loving heart Whoever
detected anywhere leaflet half-fashioned,
or flower half-painted, and who that knew
or studied the manly traits of his character
did not find the coloring rich and warm?
blinded alike from sunshine and rain
As though "A rose should shut or be bud
again"
His department was modest and correct,
his manner easy and winning, he was ardent
and sincere in his attachment, brave, yet
kind and generous, whilst his devotion to
those at his now grief-stricken home was
the jewel which bazed and the spotless
lily till buried in the last cold baptism of
death and "out of sight"
Mr. Carter died at the residence of his
father, at the age of thirty-four, that period
in life when the silver and golden lining are
blending He had only recently been APP
pointed by the Governor of the State to an
important and responsible trust
We can become familiar with the land
scape, we know where to find the waterfall
and the shady ledge where the violets grow
in spring and the sassafras gives forth its
odor, but when we stand around the death
bed of one who has borne his sickness with
resignation even unto death, then we realize
the other brighter landscapes, where the
fountains are ever gushing and the birds are
ever singing-such were his hopes in his
last hours
No further seek his merits to disclose,
Nor draw his frailties from their dread abode,
There they alike in trembling hope repose,
The bosom of his father and his God"
To the mourning household, we offer our
deepest sympathy, for around that once full
and joyous hearth the shades of death have
fallen fast and heavy, until the links of the
silver chain have nearly all been broken.
We sincerely hope that the wind of death
has sighed itself to sleep like tired child,
and that sweet and mellow hours may glad
den the rest of their lives
