MOTHERS TURN.

"It is mothers turn to be taken care
of now"
The speaker was a winsome young
girl, whose bright eye. fresh color and
eager looks told of light-hearted happi-
ness. Just out of school, she had the
air of culture which is an added attrac-
ton to a blithe young face. 1t was
mothers turn now. Did she know how
nv heart went out to her for her unself-
ish words?
Too many mothers, in their love OF
their daughters, entirely overlook the
idea that themselves need recreation.-
They do without all the easy, pretty and
charming things, and say nothing and
the daughters do not think there is any
self-denial involved. Jennie gets the
new dress and mother wears the old one,
turned upside down and wrongside out.
Lucy goes on the mountain trip, and
mother stays at home and keeps house.
Emily is tired of study and must lie
down in the afternoon but mother,
though her back aches, has no time fol
such recreation.
Girls, take good care of your mother:
Coax them to let you relieve them o.
some of the harder duties which, fol
years, they have patiently borne.

KATIE'S ANSWER.

Och, katie's rouge, is thrue,
But her eyes, like the sky, are so blue,
An her dimples so swate,
An her ankles so nate.
She dazed, an she bothered me, too
Till one mornin' we went for a ride,
Whin. demure as bride at my side.
The darlin', she sat,
With the wickedest hat
Meath purity girls chin iver tied.
An my heart, arrah, thin how it bate!
For my Kate looked so temptin' an swate
Wild cheeks like the roses,
An all the red posies
That grow in her garden so nate.
But l sat just as mute as the dead,
Till she said, with toss of her head,
"If I'd known that to- day A
Ye'd have nothing to say,
I'd have gone with my cousin instead"
Thin felt myself grow very bold,
For know she'd not scold if towld
Wv the love in my heart,
That would never depart,
Though lived to be wrinkled and old.
An said: "If I dared to do so,
I'd lit 60 NV the baste, an I'd throw
Both arms about your waist,
An bestalin' taste
Wv them lips that are coxin' me So"
Thin she blushed a more illigant red
AS she said, without risin' her head,
An her eyes lookin' down
Meath her lashes SO brown,
"Would ye like me to drive, Misther Ted?"

A DYsPEPT1C HUMoR1sT.

Man, born of woman, is of few days
and no teeth. And, indeed, it would
be money in his pocket sometimes if he
had less of either. AS for his days, he
wasteth one-third of them, and as for
his teeth, he has convulsions when he
cuts them, and as the last one comes
through, 10, the dentist is twisting the
first one out, and the last end of that
mans jaw is worse than the first; being
full of porcelain and roof plate built
to hold blackberry seeds.
Stone bruises line his pathway to
manhood his father boxes his ears at
home, the big boy cuffs him in the play
ground, and the teacher whips him in
the school room. He buyeth North
western at no, when he has sold short
at o6, and his neighbor unloadeth upon
him Iron Mountain at 633s and it
straightway breaketh down to 52N.
He riseth early and stitch up late that
he may fill his barns and storehouse,
and 10! his children's lawyers divide
the spoils among themselves and say
''Ha, hal" He growleth and is sore
distressed because it raineth, and he
beateth upon his breast and sayeth,
'My crop is lost!" because it raineth
not. The late rains blight his wheat
and the frost biteth his peaches. If it
be so that the sun shineth, even among
the ninetieS, he sayeth, "Woe to me,
for | PERISH" and if the northwest wind
sigheth down to forty-two below he
crieth, "Would l were dead !" If he
wear sackcloth, and blue jeans, men say
"He is a tramp" and if he goeth forth
shaven and clad in purple and fine
linen all the people cry "Shoot the
dude!"
He carrieth insurance for twenty-five
years, until he hath paid thrice over for
all his goods, and then he letteth his
policy lapse one day, and that same
night fire destroyeth his store. He
buildeth him house in Jersey, and his
first born is devoured by mosquitoes
he pitches his tent in New York and the
trampS devour his substance. He emoveth
to Kansas, and a cyclone carrieth his
house away over into Missouri, while a
prairie fire and ten million acres of grass
hoppers fight for his crop. He settleth
himself in Kentucky, and is shot the
next day by gentleman, a colonel and
a statesman, "because, he resembles,
sab, man, sab, he did not like, sah."
Verify, there is no rest for the sole of
his foot, and if he had to do it over
again he would not be born at all, for
''the day of our death is better than the
day of our BIRTH

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A POUND.

In his last letter to the Atlanta
Constitution "Bill Arp says:
As general thing the girls show too
much anxiety to marry. They are too
sweet on the boys They ought to

cious and put on Jerusalem airs and
say, young man you don't know who
you are fooling with. I'm treasure, l

her own dress and get up good supper
for company and is not ashamed to
wait on the table while they are eating,
is just worth about 81, 1000 pound
But that is nothing compared with
what they will be worth. Why, Mrs.
Arp has cut out and made up at least
1900 garments of one sort and another.
She has Sewed 100000 stitches, and
| patched and darned and washed faces
and feet and combed hair innumerable.
She has tied up 500 sore toes and cut
fingers and burns and bruises and kissed
away thousand tears. She has watch
ed 'em by night and day, and keeps on
watching; and right now, while / am
writing on my piazza, she is looking
away up the big road, and says: 'I'm
afraid something will happen to them

themselves. There are two little
nephews here just out of school, and
they and Carl have all got horse or
colt apiece, and have gone ofona a "scur-
sion, and l call 'em the infantry calvary
and tell Mrs. Arp it is all right, but she
sits here sewing with her specks on and
ever and anon she looks up the road
and says: "Those children have over
stayed their time. I'm afraid some
thing has happened" If they don't
come back soon know that will have
to start after 'em, for that is always the
