cannot refrain from stooping. to imprint
q parting kiss on the yelvety cheek. i.I',
The years have flown into The silent
past, and wake from my dsy-dream
with start, to see before mo in this sun.

| We smile, too, through our. tears, as
we look on this picture, 0 sweet one, dear
readers, for 1t seems hard to realize that
this tall. robust specimen Of humanity 10
Mother.loye seems not to realize that
times relentless march brings her baby
in few years to mans estate, and that
he is no longer o child, until one day he
will tell her that he intends soon 30 5ring
henceforward with them.
She feels now that the love of q life.
time must be shared with another, and
that che will no longer occupy the flmt
place ia his heart, as che always hns
done until this news came 10 her.
But stop moment, dear, selfish moth.
or, and ask yourself O reasonable ques.
tion. Does It follow because your boy
has found o loving companion outside
his home TO journey hand in hand with
for the future, that the love he has al.
ways felt for you will be lessened, under
the abose circl2,stances2 When you
married and left home, Tas your love for
your mother diminished In that event?
Do not treat your sons wife coldly when
he brings her home as such, thus causing
he2 to feel that yon lock upon her as one
coming between You and the love of
lifetime. She will read ct once from
your manner, unless you are cordial to.
| receive her aud love her as your sons
wife. She will feel grieyed but too proud
to allow you to see il, and GOODNESS will
| spring up between you and your new
| daughter, which ic time may generate a
feeling Of positive dislike between you.
Your "boy" will soon learn, If this
| feeling continues IN the family, to feel
| that you think he f.as made poor choice
In selecting o life companion, and that
you fail to see wherein he sew anything
attractive about her. HOW'LL also feel
! that yon ought to love her for his sake,
| II for no other, since he has always
| evinced 80 much affection towards you,
and only now is he sharing it with an.
other, without lessening it all towards
you. Try, and you will soon feel kindly
TO this new member Of your family, and
she will also feel 80 towards you If ahe
sees that you are trying TO like her and
Tell her how Charlie likes his SOUP sea-.
Esoned, or how you have always prepared
his favorite apple dumplings, and If che
feels interested in domestic matters she
VIII like to help you about the house and
tho cooking; and If you accept her prof.,

with you, you will soon lind yourself
wondering how you could have done all

When Charlie comes into dinner! aud
