slight tendency on the part of the backbone
of summer to reassert itself.
The impression seems to be that the Treas

OLD T AsHToNED MOTHER. - Thank God,
some of us have an old-fashioned mothers
Not woman of the period, enameled and
painted, with her great chignon, her curls and
hustle, whose white jeweled hands never left
the clasp of baby fingers; but dear old-fash-
toned sweet voiced mother. with eyes, in
whose clear depth the loye-light shone, and
brown hair just threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek. Those dear
hands, worn with toll, gently guided our tot
tering steps IN childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, ever reaching out to us in
yearning and tenderness Blessed is the mem
ory of an old-fashioned mother. 1t floats to
us now like the beautiful perfume from some
wooded blossoms The music of other voices
may be lost. but the enhancing memory of
hers will echo in our souls forever. Other
faces may fade away and be forgotten but
hers will shine on. When in the fitful pauses
of busy life our feet wander back to the old
homestead, and crossing the welworn thresh-
old, stand once more in the room SO hallowed
by her presence, how the feeling Of childish
innocence and dependence comes over US, and
we kneel down in the molten sunshine stream
ing through the open window-just where
long years ago, we knelt by our mothers
knee, lisping Our Father" How many times
when the tempter lured us on has the memory
of those sacred hours, that mothers word hei
faith and prayers, saved us from plunging in
the deep abyss of sin. Years have filled grea1
drifts between her and US, but they haye no
hidden from our sight the glory of her pure
unselfsh love.

THE VIRGINIA CREEPER.-Ever since the
discovery and settlement of the Old Domin-
ion, the Virginia Creeper has been one of the
most popular of running vines for house dec
Grafton. 1t is even prettier than the famed
Wy, which covers so many old Cathedral
churches, houses, and castles in England. Put
a few sprigs of the Creeper at the base of a
brickwall, and if allowed the ghost of
chance it will soon spread itself over all the
exposed surface, covering Dead sombre wall,
with mantle of living green. In appearance
the Virginia Creeper is not unlike what is
known as Poisoned Oak, the latter, however
never has over three leaves on stem. and the
Virginia Creeper always five 1t may always
be obtained in any patch of mixed sort. A
fine specimen OF the Creeper may be seen on
the elegant cottage residence of Richard f.
Walker, ESQ.,, on Eighth, between Franklin
and Grace streets, Richmond, which is en-
powered nearly on all sides by living green
presenting a very handsome appearance in
deed. The plants, from which all this desira-
BILE shade was derived, were gathered a few
years since, near that city, by Major Walker,
and planted without extra pains. A plentiful
supply of this evergreen would make even an
ugly house look home-like, coy and hand

A Trio Of Comets.

There will be three comets in the sky tonight
for astronomers to watch. Encke's comet is the
latest arrival. It will appear and be visible bv
telescopes about half-past two o'clock Tomorrow
morning. It's position is given in the ephemeris
already computed for it, as right ascension, h.
80 IN; declination north, 25 deg. 4S mn THAT
will bring it up just little north of the
Pleiades." said Prof. Hall. who kindly furnished
THE STAR reporter with the figures.

This little comet will travel north quite fast.
reaching its most nOrtherly points, degs. Sc
minis. on the Goth of September It's perihelion
passage will be about November 18th. and it
viii be nearest the earth about October 18th.
1t is now 174900.0O0 miles from the
sun, and 167,00O,0 600 from the earth At its
periheliOn it will be about SO 600 600 miles from
the sun. Comet G is becoming brighter every
morning. and the astronomers think it would
be visible to the naked eye now if it were not
SO near the horizon. The old comet (B) is fast
travelling south. 1t is still an interesting object
in the evening sky.
No special observations will be made of Encke's
comet for several days 1t is regarded with
great interest by astronomers on account of its
gradually shortening periods which is consid-
ered as proof OF Encke's theory that there is a
resisting medium IN space. Its period is about
81 years.
