A MOTHERS LOVE.
Some day.

Some day,
When others braid your thick brown hair,
And drape your form in silk and lace,
When others call you dear and fair
And hold your hands and kiss your face
You'll not forget that far above
All others is a mothers love.
Some day,
'Mong strangers in far distant lands,
In YOUR new home beyond the sea,
When at your lips are baby hands
And children playing at your knee
O then, as at your side they grow,
How I have loved you, you will know.
Some day,
When you must feel loves heavy loss,
You will remember other years,
When I, too, bent beneath the cross,
And mix nv memory with thy tears.
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within thy shadow have prayed.
Some day,
Your daughters voice, or smile, or eyes
NV face will suddenly recall;
Then YOU will smile in sweet surprise
And your soul unto mine will call;
In that dear unforgotten prayer
Which we at evening used to share.
Some day,
A flower, song, word may be
A link between us strong and sweet;
All! then, dear child, remember me!
And let your heart to mother beat.
NV love is with YOU everywhere
You cannot get beyond my prayer.
Some day,
At longest it cannot be long,
shall with glad impatience wait,
Amid the glory and the song,
Foryou before the Golden Gate.
After earth's parting and earth's pain,
Never to part! Never again!

OUR WELL-WORN EARTII.-That the
falling drop will wear away the stone, is Il
saying which few adult persons have not
been able to verify by observation; but it is
not so generally understood that falling drops
of rain will wear away u mountain or wash
away Il continent. Rain, frost and ice have
ground down the SUBMITS of the lotticst
mountains; and there are few high peaks
now in existence which have not been much
higher, and which are not being steadily
leveled by atmospheric agencies. In cold
cr climates solid glacier rivers are also
found, which moving imperceptibly but
with irresistible force, hollow out valleys
and grind down superintendent rocks.
The sea also devOurs land rapidly. Fur
thermore, innumerable rivers, streams and
springs are perpetually loosening the soil,
rasping down the rocks with sand, and bear
ing off billions of tons of solid matter to the
sea bottom, where the whole mass is squeeZ-
ed by the terrific hydraulic pressure into
stone, marble, or solid strata of some kind.
The Mississippi alone carries annually to
the sea Sl2, 100000, 600 pounds OF mud. All
the habtablc land of the globe is being con.
finally ground and washed away-planed
down to the ocean level; while the sea bot
tom is being as rapidly filled up. The de-
pOsit of fOraminiferal shells alOne-nOt III
Guiding other remans-is sufficient, as Hulk
ley has calculated, to create bed OF lime
stone in the bottom of the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans 500 feet thick, supposing these
oceans to have existed for only 10000 years.
Were it not for internal forces the time
would come when all existing land would
be leveled with the ocean, and thereafter
plancd down still further by the action of
the waters, so that the entire globe would
be one shorelcss ocean. The coral islands
would form no exception; for the coral
builders cannot live above water, nor could
their islands ever have reached the surface
but for subterranean upheavals. Thus the
tendency of the worlds crust is to become
uniformly smooth and level, and to sur
round itself with an envelope Of water.
But within the earth enormous forces are
constantly at work to cOunteract this ten
dency-fOrces which manifest themselves in
volcanic action, in seismic action and in
other and even more mysterious actl0nS.-

pens, domestic and imported, may be placed
at 81 ,jOO,0 900, and is steadily progressive

American pens. 1t is matter of difficulty
to ascertain the relative amounts disposed
of in different sections of the country, pens
being mainly distributed by large whole
sale houses who make shipments from the
East. The chief retailers of pens through
out the country are in the stationery, pub
fishing, notions, dry goods and hardware
trades. Our own manufacturers are reti-

which supplies between $4,000, 900 and 49,

manufactures in France, the one in Ger
many and the one in AUSTRIA there being
none in the other European States, and the
leading American establishments, in Meri-
den, Conn.,, Camden, n. j., and in Phila-
delphia, the weekly production for this
country and Europe cannot be less than

SUNSHINE AND SLEEP.-Sleepless peo-
ple-and they are many in America-should
court the sun. The very worst soporific is
laudanum, and the very best sunshine.
Therefore it is very plain that poor sleepers
should pass as many hours as possible in the
shade. Many women are martyrs, and yet
they do not know it. They shut the sun
shine out of their houses and their hearts,
they wear wells, they carry parasols, they
do all possible to keep off the subtlest, yet
most potent influence which is intended to
give them strength, beauty and cheerful
ness. Is it not time to change this, and so
get color and roses in their pale cheeks,
strength in their weak backs, and courage
in their timid souls? The women of Amer
ca are pale and delicate theymay be bloom
ing and strong; and the sunlight will be
potent influence in this transformation.

ground that she was only thirteen years
old and too young to think of matrimony.

In the meantime the young lady was

Mr.. Byrd had the telegraph wires ladened
with messages flying hither and thither to
officers instructing them to arrest the cou-
pie on sight and hold them. 1t was subse-
uuently learned, however, that they had
taken the north-bound train for the terri
