Lo! of all the gems of woman

Are thy jewels loved the best;
And the talisman thou wearest
Shall preserve thee great and biest.
Though the days be heavy weighted,
Fraught with danger. toll and wrack,
These whom love hath animated
Still shall keep thy foemen back.
Take this heart, thou lifetime donor,

Take this arm and be its owner
For thy bulwark and defense.

Fall like waves upon the strand.

MY MOTHER.

A simple parsonage-plain and brown
Where ivies rambled up and down
With sweet brier roses.
A place the earliest sunbeams kist,
Nor left, till Swallowed by the mist
The night uncloses.
Twas here she wrought with patient care
A life whose incense filled the air
With gladness only.
Here heard her call to enter rest,
And left the home, a broken nest,
Bereit and lonely.
To children's hearts, and hearts grown
strong
With anguish, tbs lesson long,
And sad the learning,
That prayers nor tears can e'er restore
The loved ones drifted to that shore
Beyond returning.
We've learned farewell oft through these
years,
She-welcome-w where there are no tears,
But joys supernal.
And closely folds earth's loos ming bands
Within the house not made with hands,
Secure, eternal.
o, Mother. with the soft brown eyes!
In thy fair home hey ond the skies,
Am l expected?
Can'st thou not tell me that at last,
When cross the threshold all have passed,
shall not be rejected?

He Consulted His Directors But
Did as He Pleased.

A large proportion of the cotton
mill property in Spindleville is, as
everybody knows, IN the hands OF the
Haughton family, who got it through
the marriage of one Of the daughters
Of the family to the man who started
the mill business there. When hedied
the property, through series of per-
fectly natural steps, passed into the
control of the Haughtons, Daniel
Haughton, the head of the family,
was a man of great natural shrewd-
ness and strength of character. His
two brothers, Jacob and Jehiel, were
always associated with him; but, while
his business proceedings were under.
stood to be with their advice and con-
sent, Daniel always held sort of veto
power over his brothers, and nothing
was ever passed over his veto. He is
dead now, but the story of the way in
which he used to Consult the direct
ors' is still told in Spindleville.
One day a cotton-broker called at
the Office of the mill of which Haugh-
ton was treasurer, and offered him q
big lot of cotton at certain price.
''This is SO large q contract" said
Haughton, chat l really ought to
consult my directors aboutit. They're
inside. and Plljust step in and consult
them"
Jacob and Jehiel were in the inner
office. Daniel went in and explained
the proposition to them and said:
"Well, brother Jacob, do you think
we had better buy that cotton?"
"No, / don't think we had brother
Daniel; not at that price,"
"Well, brother Hiel, what do you
think we had better do about it?"
81 shouldn't buy it, brother Daniel;
not by any means"
"Oom!" said Daniel.
Haughton went back to the outer
Office, where the cotton-broker was
waiting.
"Well, sir" said he to the man,
1--WE consulted my directors, and I'll
take that cotton at the price you
named!"
There is q story of a similar touch
of nature in the case of the senior
partner of the cotton mills at, call it
Boothby, Conn. After his death one
of the executors found it necessary to
consult some of the directors. He &C.
cordingly asked Mr.. Parks what &C.
ton the board of directors were accus-
toned to take under certain circum-
stances.
81 do not know" said the director.
"Why, yes" said the puzzled lawyer,
ssyou mnst be able to tell me some
thing. A director for many years,
you of course attended the meetings
and assisted in the proceedings"
Growing momentarily more embar-
raised, the director leaned forward
at last and frankly explained:
All true; I ought to know, but the
fact is / usually got notice Of q direc-
tors meeting alter it had taken a1acel"

The StOnach:

The walls of the stomach are thin and
elastic, and may be temporarily dilated
by overmuch food. Affiliated stomach,
or crowding against q heart enfeebled
by fatty degeneration, or by any other
cause, may so far hinder the action of
the latter rs to result in sudden death.
But the stomach may become per-
manently dilated, and enormously SO.
In the latter case, the two openings
the entrance and the exit-may be so
affected as to make it difficult for it to
eject the food into the intestines.
The muscular walls of dilated
stomach are weakened. This causes
the food to remain too long in it
sometimes several days. hefood thus
retained decomposes into anumber of
irritating acids and annoying gases.
The worst forms of dyspepsia result.
Such dilatation may be due to
diseased narrowing of the pylorus,-
the opening by which the food passes
from the stomach,-or to its obstruc-
ton by tumors OF various kinds, thus
hindering the passage of the food
through IL. VI CH0 COACS OI C10 SCOulaCn
may have become weakened by disease;
or the nerves of the stomach, on
which it's peristaltic action depends,
may have lost their normal irritable
ity.
Habitual overeating also causes this
dilatation. All persons are liable to
it who overload their stomachs with
either food or liquids, especially with
beer The clearest evidence ofsuch dila-
tation is thehabitual retention offood
in the stomach over night.
This dilatation is frequent in chill
dren, especially among those fed arti-
ficially. But it is not confined to
them. Many mothers nurse their chill
dren at night almost continuously.
Such infants have good appetites,-
for their food does not duly nourish
them, but they are badly troubled
with Indigestion, collie, and diarrhea.
Their abdomens are distended. The
only relief is in more proper feeding.
It is the same with adults, though
the muscular tone of the stomach may
be strengthened by tonics. The worst
cases require the doctor.-Youth's
Companion.
