Poor Mother.

My dear young lady, | want to speak
to you about your mother. 1t may be
you have noticed careworn look upon
her face lately. OF course it has not
been brought there by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away.
Get up early tomorrow morning, and
prepare breakfast, and when she comes
down and begins to express her sur.
prise, kiss her into silence. She will
leave one of these days Those bur-
dens, if not lifted from her shoulders,
will break her down. Those rough,
hard hands that have done so many un-
necessary things for you will be crossed
upon her lifeless breast Those neg
lected lips that gave you your first baby
kiss will be forever closed, and those
sad, tired eyes will have opened in
eternity, and then you will appreciate
your mother, but it will be too late.
There, there, don't cry; she has not left
you yet. She is down in the kitchen
stringing beans for dinner, and if you
feel so badly you might 60 down and
finish them, and let her change her dress
and rest an hour before dinner. And
after dinner you might do up the dishes
while she takes little nap. Then you
might take down her hair and do it up
for her. Perhaps the young man in the
parlor is not quite willing to wait until
you have performed these duties. If he
expresses any impatieuce, you may ex-
plain 10 him that you feel under more
obligations to your mother than you do
to him, If this does not seem to satisfy
him ask him how many times he has got
up in the middle of the night to warm
peppermint for YOU when you were dy-
ing with the collie, or how many hours no
has carried you up and down tho room
just because you would not be quieted
in any other way. Ask him to repeat
Mother Hubbard backward, and If he is
unable TO do it, it will be proof posi-
tive that he is not the one that has re-
peated it, and explained it to you,
seventeen hundred times, Then polite
ly show him out and 90 and help your
mother to pick entrants for jelly; you
will not lose him; he knows that n good
daughter makes a good wife.

HIS LOVE WAS TRUE.

and sweet, and cool. | was leaning
half way out of my parlor window
mailing up some stray red roses that
had dropped with their own weight of
sweetness and beauty from the wall, so
that-should high wind or heavy rain
come up-they were in danger of being
broken. / was very careful Of my last
late roses
Summer was over now--these queens
of the garden had not much longer to
reign; l could count the buds even
now; there were no more than dozen
to open yet, and 1t had always been my
pride to have roses still in bloom until
quite far in October.
Whyp Oh, well, / was lonely wo-
man, with few tender human ties, and
such one will always feed her heart
on whims and fances. Wives have
their husbands, mothers have their
children, TO take pride in. l was
lonely old maid, you see; a pet dog and
few sweet red roses sufliced for me.
Was there no other reason why these
roses were so dearp All, yes; though
only my own heart knew it, they repre-
sented the one sweet, delusive love
dream of my life. For to all womanly
women love will come; to such as only
as bright, unattainable dream; to
others-happier, more favored hearts
as n precious and glorious reality.

The lamp-ight, cleaning yellow, falls
On pictured form and face;
The lady In her easy-chair,
Sways with quiet grace,
And homes sweet spirit, smiling, bends
In blessing DER the place.
Two singers on the sofa sit,
And touch the light guitar;
The long, low, lulling song they sing
Tells not of scenes afar-
They sing OF home, and all the room
Grows radiant, like star.
The lady, swaying slowly still,
Sits, with her brooding eyes:
For her the light fades dimly out,
For her the music dies,
And the wild plains, old Mexico,
Before her vision rise.
She sees band drive steadily
Across the sandy space,
And some are rough and dark, may be,
But one is fair Of face.
He wears across his manhood's front
His mothers sunny grace.
The shadows thicken as they go,
Beneath the dark'ning dome,
And silent sits the fair~faced boy,
For teeming fancies come
He on his level leans his hand,
And dreams, perchance, OF home.
OF Homel All, God that savage Yell
Those gaunt forms, murder-black,
That, skulking on their path, now break
In thunder on their track!
Of now no more those dreams of home,
And now no looking backl
The sudden, desperate dash for life;
The high, brave look at death,
The quick revolver's deadly crash
And now the ended breath;
And night Is over everything
Around, above, beneath.
Then swiftly outward through the night
The devtlforms are whirled,
Fen %htic the dreadful carnage-smoke
Upon the air is curled,
And dead, eternal silence falls
In horror on the world.
10! God; who sitst forevermore,
Upon thy cloudy throne,
WHY, In thine awful name, must they
Thus die there allaloneW
The song Is done. In silence still
The sad heart makes its moan.

Arrival of n Great Consignment from
the New York Assay Office.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Over $5,0OO,0O0 in broad, salmon
colored bars or bricks of gold, occasion
ally darkly tiaged with copper-like
coating, arrived yesterday morning at
the United States Mint. They came in
100 hundred wooden boxes about two
feet square and foot deep An ex-
press wagon, with several custodians,
carries. them, and they were rolled and
dumped into the weighingroom like
Sc much lead. To the men in the
Mint, the daily handling of fabulous
sums of the precious metals begets an
indifference that puts it on par with
the commonest merchandise. Not an
ounce of it, however, is free from the
closest scrutiny while within these
walls. Although man may walk in
from the street and stand at a step be-
fore the open door of the weighing
room vault, where $50, 000, 900 is stored
with but single official in sight, it
would need but the slightest alarm to
have score of men with loaded
weapons in their hands standing on the
spot. UhIike foreign minis no display
of armed protection Of the treasure is
made, but the precautions are never
theless complete. the large consign-
ment yesterday came from the Assay
er's Office in New York. Each box
contained ''melt, or in other words
the entire refined contents of a crucible,
each varying in quantity, and every
brick was numbered. The men who
do the heavy work opened the boxes,
took OIL the paper wrappings and piled
the bricks upon the scales. Then the
clerk weighed them and carried the
bricks into the vault. The entire
weight was 266, 960.7S ounces Troy or
over eleven TONS The actual net
weight valuation was So, 104, 46631. If
any one could count $50 every minute,
and keep it up without stopping it
would take within fraction of four
months to count this amount in coin
In the mint all the counting is done by
weight and measure. Piles of various
kinds of coin are measured, and if they
are the requisite number OF inches
each way, and the weight corresponds,
the number and value is set down far
more accurately than if the money had
been counted by the deftest fingers.
