Tie Mother.
Sometimes it falls to the lot of a newly
married man to take care OF his father or
mother Not that hc considered this an
evil, for he had always observed that the
Lord took care OF those who cared for their
parents. The old mother sits in her favor
ite chair; all cares falling quietly away.
Care and anxiety for you have wrought
those wrinkles. She says She is not sick,
but somehow you feel that she is slipping
away without power TO hold her back. The
gentle voice grows yet more feeble, the
faded hair yet more white, and the end has
come, Fold the tired hands that have done
so much for you, over the heart which has
sheltered YOU from youth. She is weary
and would sleep. Let her rest.
American Enterprise.
Another blunder is attempting life with
out enthusiasm. They say we Americans
are short lived, but he denied it. We lived
eight or ten years in minute, American
enterprise was permeatlng the whole. 1t
was invented by some Yankee during the
Revolution, and embalmed in verse by a
poet who celebrated the downfall of Lord
CORVALLIS as an enterprise which first gave
birth to American freedom. From that
time on American enterprise had been al
yanCing, and pervaded everything, even the
Americans walk. his talk, his business and

The World Has Changed
greatly. The old broad.brimcd hat repre-
sented conservatives and the sharp COrncrcd
enterprise. The good old days, when the
family gathered round the huge old fire
place. when the apples were brought in

world.
in Matters Of Religion
there had also been many changes. The
pouS, hOmely old tunes were all gone with
those who used them, TO heaven. The beau
tiful old psalm is now rendered as an
CrCra, 50 that 10 one listening it sounds:
Ran down, ran down, ran down his ihcad,
ran down. his robes ran down. and over
his beard, ran down. and on his robes, his
head ran down. his beard. ran down his
robes. his beard ran down hi, robes, ran
down"
The plain English OF which is that he
had an awful time with his beard, and it
is rather surprising that after such an cx-
pericnce he had single hair on his head.
Other improvements.
But in other departments many advace-
mentS have been made. The stagc-Coach
has been superseded by the palace car, the
scythe by the reaper, and we fly without
wings, and run sitting still. \ friend told
me that he recently went from New York
TO Cincinnati, and travelled 50 fast that the
only two things he saw on the road were
two hay stacks and theywerc going the other
way. Fields OF ripencd grain now fall be-
fore the reaper like grass before q prairie
fire. The old time fail has given way to
the thTeshing machine which tears the
grain aSunder with mighty force. Buckets
