TRIBUTE TO A MOTHER.

Children look IN those eyes, listen to
that dear voice, notice the feeling OF ev-
cry touch that is bestowed upon you by
that gentle hand! Make much of it
while you have that most precious of ali
gifts. a loving mother. Read the un-
tathomable love OF those eyes, the anx-
iety OF that tone and look. however
slight your pain. In after life you
may have friends, fond, dear friends,
but never will you have again the mex.
pressible love and gentleness lavished
upon you which none but mother be-
slows. Often do sigh in my struggles
with the dark and erring world for the
sweet. deep security I felt, when, on an
evening Nesting in her bosom. listen
ed to some quiet tale suitable to my age
read in her untiring and tender voice.
Never can forget the sweet glauces
cast upon me when appeared asleep ;
never her kiss OF peace at night. Years
have passed away since we laid her be
side my tather in the old churchyard,
and still her voice Whispers from tn.
grave, her eye watches over. as visi,
spots long since hallowed to the memo
ry Of my mother.

REPUBLICAN AUDACITY,
[From the st. Louis Republican. ]

Mere audaclty is amusing up to GER
tam point. but there is limit to 1t, and
there is not even an atsm OF humor in
the audacious statement in a local paper
that Missouri's good credit to-day IS a
relic of republican rule in the state.
After plundering the state of all there
was to steal and loading the people with
an onereus burden OF debt the republi-
can party turned around when It was
hurled out of power and occupied
its whole time in endeavoring to hamper
the progress OF the state by every vile
SANDER and calumny ingenuity could
concoct. While the republican party
was thus bending every energy to OBJ
struct the states prosperity, the demo-
cracy set to work to build up and recon-
struct what republicanism had torn
down. The state constitution was re-
vised and the greatest care taken to pro-
vide ample and certain means tor the
faithful payment of the state credit
This democratic constitution. which pro.
vided for the payment of the burdsnsome
debt accumulated under republican rule
and insured the people against any re.
newal of the burden. has worked out ex.
actly that good result for which it was
devised, aud the democracy deserve the
! credit they will get Tor the good work.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, June 1, 'S1.
In writing descriptive letters pertain
ing to the towns in New Mexico,
your correspondent derives consider
able comfort, from the fact that every
town is composed of old and new
towns. In thus always being sure of
a commencement, he does not dread
the task of commencing, like
most OF young writers. Albu-
querque is no exception to the case,
and consists of old aud new town
situated some two miles apart in the
valley Of the Rio Grande. Old AL
buquerque is no doubt, one of the
oldest settlements in the territory,
and was named in honor OF the Duke
Of Albuquerque, who was Vicerey of
Mexico about two hundred years
ago. The history of Albuquerque
leads back into the dim vistas of ira
dition before the time of the discov-
cry of the Continent by Columbus.
1t was then the important city of
Rio Grande, Inhabited by the dusky
aborigines who were worshippers Of
the sun, aud in absence of inspiration
1T is not strange that they selected
this beautiful and fertile valley as
their capital and offered up their ado
ration to the sun as the great source
of all temporal and spiritual bless
ings. The supposltion that it was ono
of the earliest settled towns in the
territory lis well supported by the
fact that all the principal highways
and thoroughfares converge here.
Albuquerque is

all sides by narrow crooked streets,
flanked by adobe houses one-story

plumb, straight or square, and look
just like brick kilns in the states
ready for burning.
Thirteen months ago the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa te railroad steam
ed their first train into what is now
knswn rs New Albuquerque. The
first shrill whistle seems to have
awakened the dormant energies of a
people who for generations had herd

without a thought OR care of the
morrow. On the completion Of the

laid out and business and dwelling
houses sprang up with a rapldity on.
ly equalled by the surprising rcadi-
ness with which they have found oc-
cupants. Business in all its varied
branches has sprung up as if by
magic. One year ago the site upon
which this metropolis stands was but
the fallow field of the thrifty native.
The transformation has beeu truly
wonderful. Albuquerque, like al
other towns that have been built ul
rapidly, has its complement of shan.
ties and hurriedly constructed build
ings. These, however, with the march
OF progress, are giving way TO real!

improvements with decided tendeu

THE LONG AGO.
BY DIR. WILLIS p. KING.

I'm thinking tonight OF the long. long ago.
And u pair of blue eyes that We're bright,
And y form thar was timid and shrinking and
And hand that was pretty and white.
We sat on the bank of the swift running stream,
In the heat OF the summer Moons glow,
And padded our feet in the water and played
In the sweet, in the blest long ago.
We talked of the time when, as woman and
We would LAUGH our small boat on the stream,
And float in repose its smooth current along,
And life would then be like a dream;
When we'd gather the flowers from its grass
covered banks.
And dance to its ripple and flow.
But that was q time when We were both young
In the beautiful, sweet long ago.
The mocking bird came and sang sweet song,
And gladdened cur hearts with his tune,
And we fingered and played ON the banks of the
stream,
Till We saw the red crest Of the moon
Ihrougn the willow TOPS green that bent o'er
And mingled their branches below.
And SIppps dipped in the clear and swift-runnins
In the sacred, the sweet long ago.
We fingered and played till the sun chased the
And the shadows grew narrow and long,
And the whip roor-will came to the banks OF
And sang us his sad, plaintivc song.
| We fingered and played IN the gathering shade
| Meath the willow bou2h5 bending down low
And we tripped along home in the fast comm,
| gloam.
In the beautiful, blest long ago.
I have Heated, dear Ettie. far, far dswn tn
| stream,
Where the current is bold. rough and strong
But gather no flowers from its steep, rugge,
banks,
And miss the sweet mocking-bird's song;
| My sky is o'ercast with great shadows OF dOub
AS view the swift current below,
Aud my heart will turn back to the stream
We're we played,
| In the sweet. IN the blest long ago.
| / sigh for the sacred and sweet trust We gave,
Where the willow boughs bent o. 'er the stream
And the mocking-bird sang, and the sun chase
| the shade.
Although like q child may seem,
long TO return to the dear, blessed spot,
And catch the departing SUMS glow,
D And gather the flowers on the banks of tn
+ stream,
As we did in the long. long ago.
