THY MOTHER.

Lead thy mother tenderly
Down lifs's steep decline,
Once her arms was thy support;
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
These deep lines of care;
Think it was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Ne'er forget her tireless watck,
Kept by day and night,
Taking from her steps the grace.
And from her eyes the sight.
Cherish we'll her faithful heart,
Which through weary years
Echoed with it's sympathies
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love.
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
Whom thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers grave.

Words of Wisdom.

When there is room in the heart there is
always room in tho house.
Give what you have. To some one IL may
be better than you dare to think.
Women do not transgress tho bounds of
decorum as often as men, but When thew do
they go greater lengths.
No good man is doubted or prosecuted ex.
cept by those who are condemned by his
good spirit aud deeds.
When you can say Of man that his res
lIgion has got hold Of his pocket>book, YOU
may be reasonably sure that his religion is
the right kind
Pleasure is to women what tho sun is to
flowers If moderated y enjoyed it beautifies,
it refreshes, and il improves If immoders
Gtely, it withers and DESTROYS.
All the good things of this world arc of
no further good to us than as they are of
uso and whatever We may heap up TO give
to others, wc enjoy only as we can use, and
no more.
Happiness is roadside flower, growing
on the highways of usefulness plleked, il
shall wither in thy hand passed by, il is
fragrance to thy spirit. Trsmple the thyme
beneath thy feet; be useful be happy.
A WHOLE FAMILY IN sHzAvEN.-The
following eloquent passage Is from the pen
OF Albert Barnes: ANbole family in
heaven. Who can picture or describe the
everlasting joy? No one absent. Nor faith.
er,. Dor mother, nor son, nor daughter aysy.
In the world they were united in faith, aud
love, and peace, and joy. In the morning
OF the resurrection they ascend together
Before the throne they bow together in uni>
ted alteration. On the bAnks Of The river of
OF life they walk hand in hand, and rs
family they have commenced q career Of
glory which shall be everlasting Their
hereafter is TO be no separation in that fam>
lily. No one is to lie down on bed of pain;
no one to sink into the arms Of death.
Never, in heaven. is thst family to move
along in the slow procession, Glad in the ha~
biliments Of wee, to eonsign one Of its mems
bers TO the tomb. God grant that in his in.
finite mercy every family maybe thus uni
! ted.

THE SAN FRANCISCO ELECTION.

The Supreme Court having decided that
Francisco this fall, great agitation has
sprung up among the patriots. Already
split is imminent in the Republican ranks,
owing to dissatisfaction with the action Of
the County Committee in appointing
Nominating Convention. Already shrill
cali has been made for the Committee of
Two Hundred (which, it seems, is sup
posed to be sitting in permanence) 20 come
forward and save the city from the thieves.
Already everybody who wants Office, aud
everybody who wants to name candidates,
has begun to denounce every body else as
corruptionists. In short, the usual game
of mutual abuse and reckless accusation is
in full blast, and the bewildered taxpay-
ers are very naturally in doubt as to who
are really their friends. The facts that the
people who shrek most shriily about the
wickedness of their neighbors are in sew.

WORTH A TRIAL.

\ San Francisco paper hints that if the
Government detectives now at work en-
the Morey forgery would pay visit to
that city, they might find out something
worth knowing. This suggestion is GER
tainly deserving of attention. The asser-
tion of the paper referred to, that the
Morey forgery was really devised in San
Francisco, may or may not have any basis
in fact, but it is incontestable that the
forgery was employed mainly for the
purpose of carrying California Democratic,
and that it was of nature not calculated
to have much effect in any other part of
the country. II may therefore well be
that it originated in San Francisco, and
this idea certainly ought to be proceeded
upon by those who are trying to ferret ont
the actual criminals.

ALBANY.

Conkling yesterday maintained his origi-
nal position in the balloting, but Platt lost
several votes, and Depew crept up to ~
votes. It remains to be seen whether this
is the beginning of change or not. 1t
has frequently been limited that if Depew
was elected the Conkling strength would
be weakened. 1t has been suggested in
some quarters that Conkling and Depew
would make good team. The Admins
tration men, however. could not consent
to that arrangement, for the defeat OF Plat
alone is practically of no consequence to
them. 1t is said that Grant is ia doubt
as to whether he ought to go to Albany to
help Conkling. He may 60 to Albany,
but his going there is rot at all likely to
produce the intended effect, and perhaps
Conkling realizes this and does not there
fore encourage his chiefs programme.
Generally speaking the situation is what
it was. Neither adjournment ncr election
appears practicable to either side.

THE UNIVERSITY AND THE PUBLIC.

It is already apparent that the Advisory
Committee of the Board of Regents has
made serious mistake in proposing to re-
volutionize the Faculty of the State Uni
versity. The charge that this programme
has been inspired by partisan political
motives is the gravest which could have
been preferred against the committee on
such an occasion, and unfortunately there
are many attendant circumstances which
appear to give color to it. The expressed
views of several of the Regents indicate
that the action of the committee is not re-
garded, even in the Board, as by any
means free from suspicion OF craftsmanship,
and the fact that the pretense of zeal for
the interests of the University cannot be
predicated for the proposed removal of
President LIE Conte from the G hairf
Physics as well as from the Presidency,
tends to confirm the bad impression
which has been made upon the
public by the whole proceedings. 1t is
beng said, and with increasing emphasis,
that the Board of Regents itself has been
the most formidable obstacle to the pro-
gress of the University, aud that the ten
dency to partisanship and intrigue mani
tested by some of its members is mainly
responsible for nearly all the difficulties
which have arisen. The choice Of Regents
has certainly in several instances been un-
fortunate, and it is more than suspected
that the Board lacks harmony. Indeed,
if we may judge from the comments of
several members upon the late recommended
ton of the Advisory Committee, the ma
terial exists for something like " dead
lock in the Board. All this is of course
very unfortunate, and positively disastrous
to the educational interests of the
University. The apparent caprice which
determines the fate of the Faculty is, more
over, paralyzing. A very little more of this
arbitrary and machine.ike work would
suffice to destroy all confidence in the per-
mauence of positions under the Board of
Regents, and it need scarcely be added
that such a loss of confidence would at
once render it impracticable to secure the
services of any first-rate teachers in that
Institution. In short, while the Advisory
Committee has affected to be moved solely
by desire to benefit the University, it has
already succeeded in doing it more harm
than five years of weak administration
could bring about and unless wiser pol
icy is henceforth pursued by the Board, it
may be difficult, when the next Lsgisla-
ture meets, to defend the Institution against
the assaults of those who only want a
plansible nretext To destroy II
