.uother Was Good TO Us

The folio wing beautiful incident will
tcuch the hearts of many mothers and
sons:
"But after all, she used to be good to
rs" 1t was a son said this ola mother
whom some nervous malady had over
taken, and who was certainly very
serious trial to her family.
The Young mans life, too, was weary
one. He was hard worked during the
day, and it was depressing TO 20 home al
night to fault finding and fretfulness.
Harder still was it to sleep, as this son
did. week after week, and month aIter
month, with all his senses half awake,
that he might hear his mothers footEteps
If they passed the door, and hurry alter
after her to keep her from wandering out
into the night alone, as her melancholy
half madness often led her TO try to do.
Strangely enough, she had turned
AGAINST her own husband and her daugh'
tiers. Only this one son had any power
to persuade her for good. His work ny
dav, and his vigil by night wore on HIM
soray, but he never complained.
One day his sister asked him how he
could bear and be always patient, when
sne-mo,her though she was-was in
the house only as presence of gloom
and fore boding and unrest. And the
answer came
But, after al, she used to be good to
u.s."
And then the THOUGHTS of all tn
group wen. back to the years before this
nervous prostratiOn came upon her
| when she had nIrsed them In illness
and petted them in childhood-when she
had been "good to them" one and all.

"that | was a nervous, uncomfortable
child myself the first three years of my

never raise Inc, but mother said Yes
she would. and she tended me day and
night for three years, till i began to grow

those three years, anyhow, and she shall
| have them"
And so he girded himself afresh fol
the struggle 1t will not last forever
| There are signs which the doctors car
recognize that the cloud is lifting some
what, and, no doubt, before long she vii
be her old self again. And then vii
come her sons reward. He will fee
that he has paid little of the debt n
owed to the love that watched over III
weak babyhood.
To many mothers worn by long car
such years of melancholy and nervou
prostratiOn must come. And the son
and daughters who lind their home
saddened by such sorrow, should lov
ingiy remember the DAYS in which the
were helpless. and mother was good t

EUGENE FIELD.

EUGENE FIELD.
Aha! q traitor in the camp
A rebel strangely bold
A lisping. laughing, toddling scamp
Not more that four years old!
To think that l, who ruled alone
Sc proudly in the past,
Should be elected from my throne
BY my own son at last!
He trots his treason to and fro,
As only babies can
Use doin to be my mammals beau
When Use gweat big man"
You stingy boy. wbo've always had
A share in mammals heart,
Would you begrudge your poor old dad
The tiniest little part?
And yet your confidence, my boy,
fear is not misplaced
And what is more, ] note with joy
Your excellence Of taste.
Your mamma, I regret to see,
Inclines to take youripart-
As III a dual monarchy
Should rule her gentle heart.
But when the years of youth have sped.
The bearded man, trow,

o. He'd he his mammals beau.
Renounce your treason, little SON
Leave mamma's heart to me;
For there will come another one
To claim your loyalty.
And when the other comes to you,
GOD grant her love may shine
Through all your life as fair and true
As mammals did through mine.
