OUR EXPORTS.

1t is certainly gratifying to all true
Americans to know that Of late years
our exports have largely exceeded our
imports, not alone in sueh staple ar
ticles as wheat and beef, but in almost
every branch Of industry. Ten years
ago nearly oil the rerfuinery and toilet
articles. used in this country were i'm
ported from Europe: to-day wdnot only
manufacture for ourselves, but are large
exporters to South America, China,
Japan and the Colonies. The immense
growth of this particular industry son
the Pacific Coast is simply astonishing

The POWER OF a MoTuER's WoRD,--
The following should be read in every
family
a mother on the green hills OF Vermont
was holding by the right hand a son, six
teen years old, mad with love of the sea-
And as she stood by the garden gate one
morning, she said:
Edward, they tell me, for l never saw
the ocean, that the great temptation of a
scaman's life is drink. Promise me, before
you quit your mothers hand, that you will
never drink liquor"
"And," he said, for he told the story,
IL gave the promise, and | went the globe
over, to Calcutta and the Mediterranean,
San Francisco and che Cape Of Good Hope,
the North and South Poles; saw them
all in forty years, and | never saw \ glass
filed with the sparkling liquor that my
mothers form at the garden gate did not
rise up before my eyes, and today am
innocent Of the taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence of the pow.
or Of q single word? Yet that is not half
"For," still continued he, yesterday there
came into my counting room man Of forty
years od.'
"Do you know mc?"
"No."
"Wcll," said he, II was brought drunk
into your presence on shipboard ; you were
q passenger. They kicked me aside !; you
took me to your berth and kept nc there
till | had slept of my intoxicatiou. You
then asked me if l had mother said
had never heard word from her lips !;
you told me of yours at the garden gate,
and to day am master Of one Of the finest
ships in New York harbor, and came to ask
you to come TO see me-"
Low far the little candle throws it's beam
The mothers words on the green hills of
Vermont! God be thankful for the mighty
power Of single word ?-LiyAt and Life.
