LONELY MOTHERS.

BY MRS. JACOB MARTIN.
on, bsbeess mothers, so lonesome TO night,
As you listen to some sweet cradle song,
Which has often lulled your babes to sleep
And know when you see some parent rock
Her tender child, on her happy breast
That your sad thoughts turn to the new made bed
When your own sweet blossoms lie at rest.
Your homes seem vacant and yet they are full
or recolections, so pure and fair.
That, wherever you turn your weary sight,
Some sacred memory meets it there.
Some picture, perhaps, that your darlings kissed,
Or finger prints on window or door
Or pencil marks on the pure, white walls,
Which those baby hands viii defsce no more.
Unfinished garments are hidden away,
And oft-kissed ringlets OF shining hairs;
And little worn shoes and books aud toys
And empty cradles and cabs and chairs
For these are the sights which wiring our hearts,
And make them trembe afresh with pain;
Aud break us all down, when we hardesttry
To pick up the threads OF life again,
And Oh the heart pangs, In the long, st!ll night,
When In dreams you clasp those precious forms;
Then wake to your loss yet helpless search
Through darkness and silence, your empty arm.
Despair not, poor mothers, for LIES not long,
When your hopes and hearts are set shove;
Where your children wait for your mother song
Where at last they'll enjoy your mother love.

| II Is said that people living in the con-

We are not going to gnash our teeth and
tear or hlir and declare that we talk rs
well as anybody, and that whoever says
We DON'T the truth is not in him. In

we have oft II been among prcdi'ates

cipal and possessive adjectiyes, abyerblal
phrases, modifying adJuncts, co-ordlna-
tive coujunctions, and simple decIarItlve

We are ready to confess that it is all true
the half has not been told. Country
people don't know how to talk, and what
is more, don't want to know. But if We

ners we have walked in our ungram-
matical ways till any departure there

to talk. A former school teacher, now

she did not teach the law Of language

iaithiulmesS for she loved the study, but
she allowed the errors of her pupils to

enforcing the correct construction Of
sentences in youth, they could do much
toward correcting the bad grammar of
country children which they acquire
from the rough-and.tumble language of

Iul iOOkouu Tor Inc tuturt.
Buenos Ayres Standard
Few can form an idea of the great in
crease in cattle breeding during the last
two years. Estancias are silently spread
ing out on all sides, especially in the
SOUTH where wave of progress has
been waited by scores of capitalists, who
now view the country more from pro-
life yield of animals than the quotations
on tho Bolsa. Few years will pass when
the rodeos will stretch to the banks of
the Rio Negro and to the foot OF
the Andes; the cattle Of the province
will he driven along the roads paved
with the bones OF animals over which
the Indians used to drive Chill troops OF
fat "novillos." In this profitable traffic
the animals succumbed on the road, and
their archaeological remains testify to
the magnitude of the depredations on
our frontier estancias. Times have
changed and soon bona fde herds will

nos Ayres.
The prices at present paid for cattle
are unprecedented, and many wonder at
their ready acceptance, leaving out Of
account that cattle are cheap at $500 and
500, when they can stock camps at
$7j, 900 per league. The Buenos Ayres
market has seen tho last OF what was
formerly considered cheap CATTLE and
soon the cheap prices for lands will fol-
low Ill the weke, and we will look back
with wonder at the rates on the Rio
Negro loan principal. Everything in
the country is growing, and above all
the cattle business, as can be proven Ivy
few figures.
The best barometer of the increasing
importance of cattle farming consists in
the value Of blooded stock sold for
breeding purposes. If we look back rs
late MS 1876 the reader will not fail to
see that breeding was in its infancy, and
only in the HANDS Of few who could
risk and afford to lose several thousand
head Of cattle by Indian depredations
and epIdemics, arising from ovcrstocked
camps. At that period, nevertheless,
the business yielded great profits, but it
was mainly III the hands Of wealthy
capitalists. The Rio Negro expedition
and the final Disappearance of the lndi-
ans allowed small capitalists to enter
the field, and we witness the first great
stride toward the development and im-
prOvement Of cattle breeding. The in
crease in the business during 1850 has
been still more important than that

A Salt Cure.

Here is q simple thing that is worthy
of attention. It may be the means OF
doing much good, and, at any rate, could
do no harm:
John Bland, m Englishman, writes to
the New York HcraId Of discovery he
claims to have made in disease and its
prevention. The letter treats Of the
theory of disease germs, their develop
ment, and new treatment for their de-
struction. The germ theory OF disease
admitted, common salt is the universal
panacea and antidote of germ poison.
Salt kills both vegetable and animal
germs, and vegetables and animals, too,
administered in quantities large enough.
Farmers sometimes steep their seed
grain in brine to kill the vegetable germs
which would destroy its growth; the
sailing process of fish and meat performs
the same Office for their preservation.
People who eat little salt are more liable
to contract and develope disease than
those who take mans allotted three
quarters Of an ounce daily portion OF the
chloride of sodium. BANDS conviction
is that salt eating is the thing to kill the
germs OF cholera, yellow fever, small
pox, or any other infections or con-
tagious disease, when epidemics are
around. Salt is cheap aud accessible.
Two or three ounces day in times OF
danger from disease germs will not in
jure anybody even if it does no good.

Al Ancient Aqueduct Reopened.

After breach of ! 500 years the aque-
duct built by the Emperor Augustus to
supply Bologna with water has been re-
stored to use. Nineteen hundred years
ago the imperial engineers tapped the
Setta near Its junction with the Reno,
about eleven miles from Bologna, and
brought It's water to the city through an
underground passage. They followed
the course of the Reno, tunneling the
hills, sinking their work beneath the beds
OF the preclpitous torrents which rush
from the mountains into the river, and
bringing the waters to the gates OF the
city, where they were divided, one por-
ton going to supply the public baths,
and the other probably destined for the
fountains OF streets and public squares.
Tho work of tunneling and the mason
ry were 30 thoroughly we'll done that
both stcnework and brickwork are still
as solid as the rock itself, the only con-
siderable breaks being where the turbu-
lent Reno had washed away with its
clayey banks several portions OF the
aqleduct, OF where the headlong tor
rents which rush down into its stream
had excavated their own beds and car
ried away the artificial substructure.
The restoration OF this important work
is due chiefly to Count Gozzadini, who
caused an accurate survey OF the aque-
duct to be made about twenty years
ago, and in 1864 published the results OF
the investigation in IN elaborate me-
moir. Since then the work of restor-
alton has been going on with q thorough
ness and skill calculated to make the
new work as enduring as the old. The
aqueduct was originally made of brick
and stone cemented with lime aud vol
canic sand, and the unbroken portions
remained as hard as granite.

A Thousand Dollars a Minute.

Mr.. Eddy, the veteran patent soIicito.
Of Boston, Is regular encyclopedia OF
incidents referring to inventors. He
tells of q man named Hurd, who be,
longed in Stoneham, who realized $50,
000 and gave to the world one of the
most valuable inventions ever produced
all the result OF only about half an
hours thought His invention was the
machine now everywhere used for ex-
extracting molasses from sugar. When
the idea occurred to him he sketched it
down and gave it to Mr. Eddy, and au-
thorized him to take out patent. Re-
turning home, he forgot all about the
matter and applied himself to other
affairs. Subsequently gentleman en-
gagged in the sugar business saw the in
vention in Mr., Eddys Office, and at once
appreciated its value. The solicitor was
instructed to purchase the patent, which
he supposed be could do for moderate
sum. The first offer Of 81 900 was re-
fused, and not until the figure of $50
GOO was reached did Mr.. Hurl surrcn-
der. The machine is used in all the
sugar countries Of the world. Mr. Rob-
crtson, who was the American Consul at
Hague, and the Aspinwalls, OF New
York, made millions out OF the inyen-
tion. - Boston Bcruld.

Consloncy's Reward.

A touching little romance illustrating
wifaly devotion has come to light on
Mount Ida. -Four years ago comedy
young lady was accepting the attentions
of two gentlemen, one the poSsessor OF
fair competence and the other poor Ike
herself. Upon the death OF her parents
her grandmother assumed her control.
TO please this relative she consented to
mite her fortunes with those OF the
poor Young man, who besides his I'M
pnyerishel circumstance was cripple.
The more acceptable suitor was nearly
crazed. A tempting offer to enter bust
ness in New York was refu,ed by him.
He declared his determination to be
wherever his loved one, then the wife OF
another, was located. year after the
welding the husband fell i'll. As iiscase
made inroads IL on his constitution, aud
poverty stalked in ut the door, the young
wife was obliged to seek employment IN
a knitting mill. After long illness, IN
which he was steadfastly attended by
his hard working companion, death
brought an end to the poor cripple ex.
istence. During this illness the rejected
lover was the contributor Of deicacles to
the sick. which the patient, with a
knowledge Of the source from which
lhey came, accepted. A vow that the
disappointed gentleman made upon the
marriage of his idol to the deceased is
possibly attended with prospects OF re,
alIzation. 1t was that should the accepted
one die during the lifetime of the rejected
ono he would renew his suit. Although
the earth over the grave of the dead has
hardly settled. an interview has been
requested, and two hearts separated by
fate will probably be united by love-
