THE DEAR AGED MOTHER.

Honor the dear aged mother.
Time has scattered the snowy flakes
on her brow. plowed deep burrows on
her cheeks, but is she not sweet and
beautiful now? The lips are thin
and shrunken, but those are the lips
which have kissed many a hot tear
from the childish cheeks and they are
the sweetest lips in the world. The
eye is dim. yet it glows with the soft
radiance of holy love which can nev-
er fade. All, yes, she is a dear old
mother The sands of her life have
nearly run out: but feeble as she is,
she will 60 furthur and reach down
lower for you than any other upon
earth. You cannot walk into a mid
night where she cannot see you; you
cannot enter a prison whose bars will
keep her out; you cannot mount a
scaffold too high for her to reach,
that she may kiss and bless you in
evidence of her deathless love.
When the world shall despise and
forsake you, when it leaves you to
die by the wayside unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you in
her feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul is
disfgured by vices. Love her ten
derby, and cheer her declining years
with holy devotion.

work and greatest WEAKNESS was

the usual farm work. Sometimes
during one or two succeeding DAYS
after hard job in the hay field, or
harvesting, l could hardly move
about, l was so used up. Yet my
garden paid me better wages, and it
was more pleasure than toll to attend
to it,
sit seems to me- said Mr.. Jones,
sthat there must be hundreds of
chances in New England for young
farmers as good or better than the
chance you chose in the spring.
"Of course there are. A living
can be gained by farming as easily
in the East as at the West but the
rise in the price of land in the West
gives a fortune that bears no compar-
ison to labor. The laborer in the
West from this source gains but lit
tie more than the speculator that
never tills his land. Here it is work
there it is in great degree luck. |
have faith that every where in popu-
lous community, the man who can
raise good articles of food can live
himself, and sell his surplus and that
is well enough. Let him be master
of his business and follow it.

tard pot with his hand-''or have a
bumblebee sting you in the carp
In Harry's mind mustard has ever
since been associated with sting of
bee; aud mustard taught him some
good lessons.
If child by permission or by ac-
cident makes any such experiment
sympathy in the result should not be
withheld. He should not be blamed,
or laughed at, but tenderly helped.
Moreover, Harry's bravery was
worthy of commendation. A boy
who can patiently bear the pain he
brings upon himself by his mistakes
shows at least one noble and manly
trait of character.
There is no surer way to check con-
fidential intercourse between parent
and child, and to retard the develop
ment of his best faculties. than to
create an atmosphere of blame about
him. He will grow unhappy and dis
couraged, if not disobedient and reck-
less. Far better let some childish
wrong-doings pass unreproved than
to make your boy feel that he never
quite pleases you. Wise commenda-
tion will not foster vanity or self
consciousness. A loving word, an
appreciative smile, any sympathetic
recognition of real effort is generally
more helpful than many reproofs for
failures. Check evil propensities by
developing good ones, rather than by
waging fierce, direct war of exter-
mination. The result of such train
ing may not be so soon apparent, but
in the end your child's character will
be broader and stronger. Wait for
the moral nature to grow-and be
patient, as God is patient with his
children.

MAY FLOWERS,

Ye have come again, sweet flowers of springtime,
Fair crocus and daffodil gay
Sweet trailing arbutus and violet
With all the shy woodnymphs of May.
We welcome your advent. fair emblems
Ofpurity, patience and truth.
For memories ye bring to earth's weary
For gladness to children and youth.
Bright messengers, sent by the Father
To raise our thanksgivings to Him
Faint semblance of fadeless flowers
Adjoining the seraphim.
Ye bloom while the landscape is dreary
Fer the reign of the storm-king is past
Like Truth, crushed. but never despalring,
Withstanding the storm and the blast.
Ye are frail, but the spring of beauty
Your dawn-tinted blossoms unfold
Speaks language of tender emotions
More precious and lasting than gold.
o cold must the heart be and calous
That thoughtlessly passing you by
Imbbes not your lessons of wisdom,
Transmitted from Heavens pure sky.
While ye slept meath the white heecy mantle
That nature spread lovingly Ger;
Some loved ones that longed for your coming
Passed on TO the Beautiful shore"
Some. whose feet on Times sands had grown weary
And some mid the gladness of earth
Caught the whispering voice of the Master
And passed to their heavenly birth.
May be, we also shall follow
Fer spring buds bloom again;
All, well, if like you sweet May flowers,
Our lives have not passed in vain.
If like you, we have cheered earth's children
Have scattered sweet incense abroad,
And when storms and chill winds beat against us,
Have trustingly bowed to the rod.

PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BROWNS IRON BITTERS will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
And above on tn vane,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Cut, in gold, st. Peter stands,
With the keys in his two hands,
And all is well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
You can hear its great heart beat,
Ali so loud. and mild, and sweet,
AS the parson says his prayer
Over happy lovers there,
And all is well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell,
Deep and solemn. Hark again;
All! what passion and what pain!
With her hands upon her breast,
Some poor soul has gone to rest
Where all is well.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell
A quaint friend that seems TO know
All our joy and all our woe;
1t is glad when We are wed,
1t is sad when we are dead,
And all is well.

storative for my daughter, whom
l was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle of Browns
IRON BITTERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
CURED" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BITTERs, responded "that is
good tonic, take it.

Some marry because they think
women will we be scarce next year,
and live to wonder how the crop holds
out. Some marry to get rid of them
selves, and discover that the game
was one that two could play at, and
neither win. Some marry for love,
without cent in their pockets, nor
friend in the world, nor a drop of
pedigree. This looks desperate, but
it is the strength of the game. Some
marry in haste, and then sit down

Helping a Constable.

One day Michigan Constable who
had long been trying to collect claim
of forty dollars against a sharp citizen,
went to a worthy burgher and said:
''See here; Jones, Eve got plan to
collect forty dollars of that sharper Per-
kins. All l want is a little help from
you, and if you grant it 1 won't forget
the favor"
I'm willing-what's your planP" re-
piled Jones.
"Why, want you to bet him twenty
dollars that he doesn't weigh 120
pounds. If you'll do that can fix the
rest.
"Oh, I'll do anything to help you
out" said Jones, and the two walked
around to the grocery where Perkins
was known to hang out After a little
talk, the Constable keeping in the shade,
Jones began bluffing, and when he
stated his fiendish desire to bet twenty
dollars that Perkins wouldn't tip the
beam at 120 pounds, his greenbacks
were covered before a mule could kick
three times. AS the money was put up
the Constable slipped out for gar
nishee, and was back in time to serve it
on the stakeholder. Perkins weighed
14S pounds, and the forty dollars in the
hands of the stakeholder eventually
paid a claim against him. but it has
never yet been made plain to Jones
how he made anything out of it, 1t
has always seemed to him that he was
twenty dollars out, and for fifteen long
years he has refused to walk on the
same side of the street with that Con-
stable.-DetroH Free Press.

stiffness continued, still the black clouds
mounted higher and higher, and there
was the same peculiar moaning in the
ice beneath. The children had already

gusts which caused the light sledue to

Louise, too frightened to speak, turn

part of the foe just as it parted in the
middle with a sudden snap.
The little red sledge slipped into the
water, and the pony, neighing piteously,
drifted rapidly from their sight. Jean
heard the shouting of voices, and
through the driving rain he was able to
make out the figures of men on shore
running to and fro. "Hold fast to me,
Louise he said, as she gave a little
gasp when the foe tilted to one side and
the icy waves dashed over their faces;
"we are nearing the stationary ice by

The next instant the huge blocks of

The modern bonnet! all, who designed
This torment of torments to those behind?
For women may weep aud men may rage
The bonnet shuts out both player and stage;
And soon, with its artless turns and Jerks,
Its mods and dips and feminine quirks
Makes the poor wretch I'm the seat behind,
Who has paid for his place, as good as blind.
And still its challenge appears to be:
" Pooh, for the playl just look at mel
MY ostrich plume. so long and handsome,
is worth in itself young kings ransom.
Two rect across and one foot high
is little enough for such as l."
oh, II spreads itself like potentatel
And yet do you know, pity the pate,
The silly pate, that Is under, or in,
And doesn't know II commits sin.
She never suspects that the rights of man
Are all mt war with her bOnnets plan;
And to gaze for three long mortal hours
AT its wide expanse, its plumes, its flowers,
is more than man will care to do
who has come, one may say, with different
view,
Not to speak of the tickets cost,
And the time and tone and temper lost,
And now think of a maiden fair
Crowned with the wealth of her clingi ng hair,
Who weareth a turban close and TRIM
Her sweet face glowing beneath its brim;
And say to myself: If ever / wed,
Twill be with turban maid, instead
OF the poor, misguided feminine soul
Who fiaunteth beaver aureole."
