semlEsoDY.s MoTnER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill OF winters day;
The street was wet with recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout
Glad In the freedom of "school let out"
Came the boys like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and Deep
Past the woman so old and gray,
Hasted the children on their way,
Nor offered a helping hand to her
So meek, SO timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low:
"Tll hip you across il you wish to 60"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided her trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong;
Then back again tn his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
''Shes somebody's mother, boys. you know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
"And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
''If ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody's mother" bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was: "God be kind to that noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and JOY"

An Arrangement which VIII be of
Great Convenience 60 the Public.
1t is announced that the new postal
notes which are to be issued, pursuant
to an Act of Congress, will be ready
for delivery about the LIST of September.
They are said to resemble bank notes
in size and shape. but blank places are
left for the name of the Postomce at
which they are issued and at which
they are payable. They will be issued
for any amount from | cent to 81 9S,
at cost OF three cents above their
face value. Three columns of figures
are printed on each Eote--one for dol
lars, containing the figures to 4; the
second for dimes, the figures from to
Q, aud the third for cents, the figures
from | TO o also. The Postmaster who
sells a note will punch the figures indi-
eating the amount for which it will be
received. For example, If note for
81 25 is wanted, the figures in the
dollar column, in the dime column,
aud 5 in the cent column, are punched,
thus preventing the possibility of rails
ing the value of the note by counter
feiting. The notes are transferable,
but must be presented at the Office
where they are made payable within
three months from the date of issue,
otherwise they will have to be sent to
Washington for redemption.

Wiseries OF "a Defective Memory.

The miseries OF a poor verbal memo
ry is great. Rev. Arthur Mursell, of
England, says that his father was one
of the most impassioned aud powerful
extempore orators he ever heard, but
he had bad verbal memory, and after
working US up with splendid pas
sage of unprepared and impromptu
eloquence, he tried to close the SEN
tence with the text, mercy and truth
have met together; righteousness and
peace have kissed each other;" but the
words escaped his recollection and he
said; "Mercy and truth have met to-
gether; and-and- and two similar SEN
timents have kissed each other" Bad
as the verbal memory may by nature
be, it is capable of great improvement.
We have seen minister who, until he
was forty, did not dare to quote verse
of scripture or line of poetry; when,
hearing some one say that the defect
could be removed, made it matter of
study aud soon attained power to quote
what he would.

A FIELD FOR A MISSIONARY.
The FIRST Sabbath Services at Love-
lock.

LovELoCK, New, Aug. 3, 1883.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: The valley
in which this place is located has been
settled for at least twelve years, and
yet, strange TO say, no clergyman OF
any denomination has ever held any
religious services here on the Sabbath
until within the last two weeks. AT
my suggestion, Rev. e. B. Hatch, pas
tor Of the Baptist Church in Reno, was
invited to visit us and spend one or
two Ssbbaths. Securing . supply for
his pulpit at Reno, he came and was
with us the two last Sabbaths in July,
preaching twice each day. 1t was in
deed treat to our people. The school
house was packed full at each service;
the singing, mostly by our young peo-
pie, was good, and the preaching was
delight to us all. On the last Sabbath
evening men came with their wives and
children seven miles to attend the ser.
vice, and the sermon, from the text,
"Never man spake like this man" was
one of deep interest to all. Mr. Hatch,
though stranger, made many friends
while here, and was most cordially in
vited by all who heard him to visit US
again in the near future. We trust he
will find it convenient to do SO. AS
this is the first public Christian service
ever held on the Sabbath in this valley,
it seemed to me worthy of a notice in
the SILVER STATE, hence / send you
this brief communication. Our people,
though largely destitute OF religious in-
1uences, owing principally to our iso-
lated position, are not heathens. but
believers in Christian civilization.
