THE TIRED MOTHER.

A little elbow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has so much to bear,
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch OF golden hair
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers folding yours so
tight,
You do not prize this blessing overmuch,
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But it is blessedness! A year ago
did not see it As do to-day,
We are SO dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till 1t slips away,
And now 1t seems surprising strange to me
That while l wore the badge Of mother
hood
/ did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And if some night, when you sit down to
rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee,
The restless, curly head from off your breast,
The lsping tongue that chatted constantly;
If from your own the dImpled hands had
slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again,
If the white feet into the grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heartache
then.
i wonder SO that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the footprints when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor;
II coIld kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear it patter in my house once more,
If could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the sky,
There is no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than /.
But oh! the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by o shining head;
Ny single birding from his nest is flown,
My little boy i used to kiss is dead!

TYING THE KNOT.

| ''This is a true-lover's knot" he said
AS he twisted over a bit of thread,
And carefully drawing the ends out straight
Presented the form of the figure eight
at is, my darling, double moose,
Pretty to look at If left quite loose,
But two hearts closely we may unite
BY pulling the ends of the cord up tight.
This is a bowline knot" quote he,
To the merry maiden upon his knee;
And terrible things on the mighty ship
Would happen, yoa know, if this knot
should slip;
In dropping the anchor, in hoisting sail,
In making safe from the fearful gale;
And the bowline knot, you will understand,
Should never be made by a careless hand.
"And this is weaver's knot, my dear;
An intricate puzzle to you, | fear;
But you'll find you'll often have use for it
When the childrens stockings you learn to
knit.
., what confusion and loss beside,
If a knot in the warp were left united!
Hither and yon would the stitches run,
And the weaver's weaving be soon undone.
"In tying knot, if you tie it wrong
You can't depend on it very long;
But If made as it ought to be-hrm and fast
Twill hold, and tighten, and always last.
Now which Of these knots do you like the
best?"
Said he-and the maiden whom he addressed
Like a woman answered, and queried, too,
~ like the true-Iover's knot. Don't you"

sales of lands, he would know what to buy.
So well was This understood, that sharp
New York firm Of land-buyers concluded to
utilize Mr.. Sawyer's private information by
bidding all his good land away from him.
At the next sale at Oshkosh, Mr.. Sawyer
found that whenever he started to bid on a
lot 1t would be run right up on him. He
stopped after one or two efforts and went
out. He returned In moment and resumed
bidding. The New York men bid against
him all day, beating him on every bid, cap
turing thousands of acres. They did not go
near the land for some years, until Oshkosh
had grown to be quite city, aud Senator
Sawyer to be a very rich man. They all
came to Oshkosh then, and as they neared
there they felt very happy over the way they
had outwitted Sawyer. He kindly invited
them all to his house, gave them good din
ner, and formally fofgave them for getting
the start. Of him. The next morning after
their arrival Senator Sawyer invited them 10
make him q real old fashioned visit, but
they never came. They discovered that Mr..
Sawyer had arranged with friend, as soon
as he discovered their game at the pablic
sale, to bid upon the good lots, while he
(Sawyer) put In bids on all the marsh and
water he could find. Not single foot of
the purchase made by the New York people
was good for anything but duck pasture.

NOT THAT WAY.
BY MRS. BROWNING.

Do you know you have asked for the costliest
thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A woman's heart and a woman's life
And woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this price
less thing
As child might have asked for toy
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of boy?
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Maniike you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar of my woman's soul
Until 1 have questioned thee. ---
You require your dinner should always be
hot,
Your socks and your shirts should be
whole;
require your heart to be true as Gods stars,
And pure rs heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
require far better thing;
A seamstress you're waiting for stockings
and shirts
want man and king
A king for the beautiful realm called home,
And man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as did the first,
And say, +" 1t is very good"
/ aa fair and young, but the rose win fade
From my soft young cheek one day;
win you love me then mid the falling
leaves,
As you did mid the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep
may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride.
L require all things that are good and true,
All things that q man should be?
II you give this all Iwonld stake ny life
To be all you demand Of me.
IL YOU can not do this--a laundress and cook
You can hire with little pay, I.
But woman's heart and q woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

POETRY.
A soCIABLE AT THE PARSONS

They carried pie to the pastors house,
And scattered the floor with crumbs,
And marked the leaves OF his choicest books
With the prints of their greasy thumbs.
They piled his dishes high and thick
With a lot of unhealthy cake,
While they gobbled the toast and battered
rolls
: Which the pastors wife did make.
They hung round Clytie's classic neck
Their apple parings for sport,
And everyone laughed when q clumsy lout
Split his tea on the piano-forte.
Next day the parson went down on his knees
With his wife, but not to pray;
Oh, mol twas to scrape the grease and dirt
From the carpet and stairs away.
