Put your arms around me tlghti
lam cold and tired, mother,
And feel 40 strange Tonight
Something hurts me here. dear mother,
Like a stone upon my breasts
o. wonder, wonder, mother
why it's cannot rest
All the day, while you were working
Hay upon my bed,
was trying to be patient,
And to think OF what you said
How the kind and blessed Jesus
Loves hls lambs TO watch and keeps
And wished he'd come and take NE
In his arms, that might sleep
Just before the lamp was lighted,
Just before the children came,
While the room was very quiet,
hoard some one call my name.
All at once the window opened
Ina field were lambs and sheepi
Some from out brook were drinking,
some were lying fast asleep.

Though strained my eyes to see,
And wondered II he saw me,
IL he'd speak TO such "a me.
Ina moment was looking
On world so brgh, and fair,
Which was full Of little children,
And they seemed 40 happy there.
They were singing, o, how sweetlyl
swoeter songs never heard;
They were singing sweeter, mother,
Than can sing our yellow bird.
And while my breath was holding,
one 40 bright upon me smiled
And knew 1t must be Jesus,
when he said, -" Come here, my child"
"Come mp here my little BESSIE,
Come up here. and live with me,
Where tho children never suffer.
But arc happier than you scc."
Then thought OF all you'd told me
or that bright and happy landi
was going when you called me
when you came and kissed my hand.
And at first felt 40 sorry
You had called mes would go
o to sleep, and never suffer
Mother, don't be crying sol
Hug me closer, closer. mother,
Put your arms around me tight,
o. how much love you, mother,
but feel 20 strange tonight
And the mother pressed her closer
To her overburdened breast;
On the heart so near to breaking,
Lay the heart so near lis rest.
In the solemn hour Of midnight,
In the darkness calm and deep,
Lying on her mothers bosom,
Little Bessie fell asleep! -,Sclecte

lie Feels Bad Ahout Il.

A decided breeze was created yesterday at the
pension bureau that may eventually eliminate in
a regular blizzard on the floor of the house. Rep
resentatve Belford, who is a genial kind hearted
legislator. had received information that In the
pension bureau some sort of rule had been estab-
llshed which required certain clerks TO remain
upon their feet all day, and that in consequence
of this number Of them were suffering from var
icose veins and other disabilities induced by their
being compelled TO remain constantly upon their
feet during the hours OF the business dav Desiring
to personally investigate this matter for himself,
Mr.. Belford called at the pension bureau yeater-
day, and started up the stairway to the floor where
the clerks In question were employed. At the
first landing his pathway was blocked by a burly
watchman. who Informed him that visitors were
not allowed to ascend any higher
But am q member of congress-" said the rep
rcsentatiye of the centennial state.
Can't help 1t If you do enjoy that misfortune"
replied the guard. "My orders are imperative,
and you'll have to 60 back" r.
Mr. Belford's mood did not appreciate this blind
obtdience, and he expressed his disapproval with
sturdy western eloquence.
Later he called upon Secretary Teller and there
was some vigorous 'telephoning between the in
terror department and the pension bureau. 1t Is
probable that the representative from Colorado

1t is learned that Gen. Mckenzie, the COM
mander of the department of Texas, is afflicted
with mental trouble occasioned by nervous pros =
tration. He has been relieved of command tenn
porarily, and the afhirs OF his department now
directed by Gen. schoheld. No further action
has been taken by the war department, as 1t is
desired to await Developments of the case before
ordering medical board to examine him. Al
though 1t is thought that Gen. McKenzle's trouble
is only temporary his condition causes grave
apprehension among his friends.
The war department was Informed about q week
ago of Gen. McKenZie's condition, and that he
was under the care of the surgeon in charge at
headquarters at San Antonio.
Gen. Mckenzie succeeded to the command of
the department of Texas upon the retirement of
Gen. Sherman his promotion coming to him in
consequence of the changes made at that time.
He was transferred from the department of New
Mexico.
Army friends here say that he has long been
sufferer from neuralgia and nervous affections,
which have been aggravated by exposure in SER
vice on the fronter and by his residence in New
Mexico. During the war he was twice severely
wounded, and much of the nervous trouble, which
has effected him for years. is due to those injuries
His friends fear that even should he recover from
his present mental prostration, he will be inca
pacitated for active service
