BY an accomplished vocal instructor

about half Of the ten mills here are

WAITING FOR MOTHER.
By MARY D. fRIND.

The old man sits in his easy chair,
Slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that Is all his own,
On this gladstone, peaceful day.
His children have gathered from far
and near,
His children's children beside
And merry voices are echoing through
The "Homestead's" hall so wide.
But tar away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again;
And his heart forgets that it ever knew
A shadow of grief and pain.
For he sees his wife as he saw her then,
A matron comedy and fair,
! With her children gathered around his
board,
And never vacant chair.
Oh! happy this dream of the "Auld
Lang Syne,"
Of the years long slipped awayi
And the old mans lips have gathered a
smile,
And his heart grows young and gay.
But kiss falls gently upon his brow,
From his daughters lip so true;
Skinner is ready; and, father, dear,
we are only waiting for you."
The old man wakes at bis daughters
call,
And he looks at the table near
There's one of US missing, my Child -
| he says,
"We will wait till mother is here"
There are tears In the eyes Of his chill
dren, then,
As they gaze on an empty chair;
For many lonely year has passed
Since "Mother" sas with them there.
But the old man pleads wistfully,
"We must wait for mother, you
knoWi"
And they let him rest in his old arm
chair
TIL the sun at last sinks low.
Then, leaving smile for the children
here,
He turns from the earth away,
And had gone to "Mother" beyond the
ekies,
With the close Of the quiet day.

Church, in Philadelphia, has within
a year been completely moved, piece
by piece, stone by stone, distance
of four miles, and now presents in
it's new position exactly the appear
ance it did in the old location. The
work was commenced in May, 1882,
and was steadily pushed dnring the
summer and fall, each stone being
marked with q figure in either red,
white, blue or yellow paint, 90 that
ito position in the old building could
be told at q glance. Every stone,
with the exception Of q few In the
foundation, was transferred to the
new site; and also all the timber,
slate, woodwork, windows, pews, fur
niture, gas-tiixtures, heating appara-
tus, carpets, and, in short, everything
stands in the new church, it it can
be so called, just exactly as it stood
before. Nearly 1900 cart loads OF
materials were hauled over the long
route which separates the old and
new localities, the total cost of trans
fering and rebuilding being about
$4,000, against $4,000 which the
church originally cost when first
constructed some thirty-six years
ago. Exchange.

E. JOHN ELLIS OPINION.

In an interview with a reporter OF

John Ellis, representative in Con-

trict, is quoted as using the follow
ing language in regard to the Speak
ership of the next House:
The supposed doubtful attitude of
Mr.. Carlisle on the question of the
improvement Of the Mississippi river
weakened him. Yet his attitude was
not doubtful. He authorized me to
say publicly in debate that he was
for the improvement of the river and
agreed in the main with the plans Of
tho river com mission. He would not
commit himself on the question Of
levees because he had not had time
to examine theAevidence, That was
true, Carlisle was our leader on the
tariff bill. It was great and res.
ponsible and very laborious position.
He grappled with the tariff question
and by common consent mastered
its "details with more of accuracy and
thoroughness than any man in either
branch Of Congress. He was never
At fault as to fact or logic. The vet
eran debaters Of the other eide Crap
pied with him again and again, only
to 60 down before the keen lance Of
bis facts and terrible battle-ax of his
logic. =
Iregard his election as most prob
able. = : Ny own prefer
ence is for Carlisle. 1t seems to me
that he is the incarnation of that
spirit which gave the Democracy
such a splendid triumph last year.
