The Good Time Coming.

Tis coming up the steep of time,
And this old world is growing brighter;
We vet may see the dawn sublime,
And high hopes make the heart throb lighter
Some will be sleeping in the ground,
When it awakes the world in wonder,
But we have felt the boomiug round,
And heard its voice of living thunder
Tis coming, yes, It's coming!

Good Manners.

Good manners are among the great
est charms person can possess, and
everybody should cultivate them, espe'
cially young people. They are some
thing money cannot purchase, for there
Is only one way of obtaining them, aud
that is by habtual practice.
We know a good mother who used Ia
say;
Always use good manners at home,
aud then when you 90 among strangers
you need never be alarmed for It will
be perfectly natural TO you to be polite
and respectful
This IS true and we have alway
thought that the best and easiest way tc
DO anything right was to get into the
habit of doing it right.
Hardly anything is of more couse-
quence then good manners and polite
ness in a hoy or girl. They render
those who possess them favoriles with
their relations aud friends, aud pre-
possess strangers toward them, polite
ness costs nothing, and at the same
time Is of the greatest value.

A young fellow from the country

poetieaI
WAITING FOR MOTHER.

The old man sits in his easy chair,
slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that is all his own,
On this gladsome, peaceful day,
His children have gathered from far and near,
His childrens children beside
And merry voices are echoing through
The Homestesds' hall so wide.
But far away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again;
And his heart forgets that 1t ever knew
A shadow of grief and pain,
For he sees his wife as he saw her then
matron comely and fair,
With her children gathered around his board.
And never vacant chair.
OH happy this dream Of the Aud Lang syne,'
OF the years long slipped away
And the old mans lips have gathered smile,
And his heart grows young and gay,
But kiss falls gently upon his brow,
From his daughters lips so true
''Dinner is ready; and, Father, dear,
We are only waiting for you"
The old man wakes at his daughters cal,
And he looks at the table near
"There's one OF us missing, my child, he says,
owe will wait till mother is here"
There are tears in the eyes of his children, then,
As they gaze on an empty chair;
Fer many lonely year has passed
Since "Mother" sat with them there,
But the old man pleads still wistfuly;
eve must wait for mother, you know"
And they let him rest in his old arm chair
Till the sun at last sinks low.
Then, leaving a emile for the children here,
He turns from the earth away,
And had gone to Mother" beyond the skies,
With the close Of the quiet day.

The Mausoleum Craze.

Our rich men are contriving every
way to make display of their wealth,
and the last form of demonstration is a
rage for mausoleums. Among others
Jay Gould has bought one Of extraor--
binary elegance and at an estimated
cost of $4,000. This has stirred up the
emulation of William H. Vanderbilt,
who is determined to have the finest
thing of the kind on the continent. He
has therefore purchased several acres
adjacent to the old cemetery on Staten
Island, and the entire plat will be 1ald
out in an appropriate manner, while IN
the center VIII stand the grand mauso-
leum 1t may be mentioned in this con-
nection that the old Commodore few
years before his death built the largest
family tomb in America. 1t stands in
the old cemetery mentioned above, and
the tower which marks the spot is a
very prominent feature in the scenery.
The structure is surmounted by statue
Of ..GTlef,'' which is the finest piece OF
marble statuary on Staten Island. The
tomb is nearly forty feet square. and its
only occupants are. the remains OF the
Commodore and four of his Kindred. 1t
was intended for all the family, but the
progress of style since then has been so
great that grand mausoleum is re-
guired to maintain the dignity OF the
Vanderbilts.-N. + Cor. Troy Times.
