I've wandered far from thee, mother
Far from my happy home
I've left the land that gave me birth.
In other chimes to roam;
And time since then has roll'd its YEAR
And marked them on my brow;
Yet have often thought of thee
Pm thinking of thee now.
Pm thinking of thee now, mother,
When at my tender side,

And kissed me in your pride;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
With hopes of future joy;
While your bright fancy honors wove

Your hope, your trust, was there.
Fond memory brings your parting word
While tears rolled down your cheek
The long, last loving look, told more
Than ever words could speak.
I'm far away from thee, mother,
No friend is near me now

Or cool my burning brow.

You would not give me blame,
But soothe me with your tender words,
And bid me hope again.

How brightest hopes decay;
The tempter, with his baleful cup,
Has dashed them all away;
And shame has left its venom sting

Yet, still, l would not have thee know
The SORROWS of thy child.
Oh, I have wandered far, mother,
Since l deserted thee,
And left your trusting heart to break,
beyond the deep, blue sea.
Oh, mother, still love thee we'll,
And long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmly breath
Upon my careworn cheek.
But, ali there is a thought, mother
- Pervades my bleeding breast,
'Fhat thy freed spirit may have flown

And while wipe the tears away,
There sounds upon my ear
A voice that speaks of heaven and thee,
And bids me seek thee there.

COUNTRY HOMES ON THE NEW
ORLEANS PACIFIC.
LEAVING TOWN TO EC0NOMIZE AND
WEAR OUT ONES OLD
CLOTHES,

In view of the almost immediate
operation of the Texas and Pacific
Railway, and aware of the interest
felt by every member of the commu-
nifty in the probable benefit which
will be conferred by such coastruc-
ton, the Editor the Workman sought
out Col. E. B. Wheelock, we'll known
as prominently identified with the
enterprise from its inception, to as
certain from him what, in his opin-
ion, would be the most immediate
and permanent benefit conferred up
on the inhabitants of New Orleans
by the operation of the Texas and
Pacific Railroad. To this, Colonel
Wheelock replied that the question
involved such a variety of details,
that he would be much better under
stood by giving direct answers to
specific interrogatories.
With that understanding, the sub
joined interesting colloquy took
place.
Question. Colonel Wheelock, you
are we'll aware that, from time i'm
memorial, residents of New Orleans
have made summer resort of the
watering places skirting the Miss
issippi Sound. AS rule, the meat,
poultry, fruit and vegetables-in
short, every article of consumption
with the single exception of fish and
oysters-are purchased in this city,
and transported at heavy expense to
the scene of consumption. You are
we'll aware that residences, at what
are admitted to be the delightful
summer resorts of the Mississippi
Sound, is attended with enormous
expense, and that sojourn through
summer in those charming haunts
demands the expenditure of a Pile
thora of money; have you upon the
line of that branch of the road
known as the New Orleans Pacific,
Iccalitiea equally eligible, so far as
picturesqueness and salubrity are
concerned, and what, in your opin
inn, in financial sense, would be
the difference to residents of this
city were they to choose between the
Two places?
Answer. You are perhaps more
familiar than l with the expense
which attends any long stay upon

clear, pleasant days. Tuesday and

bright and beautiful as spring. But
the most brilliant creations of Ma.

weather is no exception to the rule

nor on Monday that "storms of great
ssverity would mark the Gloss of this
week in that belt Of territory covering
several degrees north and south Of
the line separating the United States
and the British Dominion extending
from Toronto to Iowa. Farther
south the storms will be less severe,
taking the form Of snow. sleet and
rain in the latitude Of Washington

There are likely to be serious blockades
of snow in the west ern sections, and pos
sibly in the Northern and Middle States
Should these storms be well marked in
the sections mentioned Vennor is of the
opinion that March will enter exceeding
