The maiden fair, in the winding lane,
Walked arm in arm with the moon1ng 6
swain,
And drank the bliss
OF loves first kiss,
Nor dreamed the day of love would wane,
But fancied 'twould be all like this.
The old maid sat in her straight-backed
chair,
And toyed with the fringe OF her frizzled
hair;
"Ah me-" she said,
My hopes are fed,

A MOTHERS LOVE.

There n lassie sits 7, pining,
All the Joy within her dead.

Yet life seems to los @ its glory
All its hopeful roseate hue.

THE MOTHER
Over and under In and ont.
The swift little needle flies;

Oyer and under In and ont,
The swift little needle flies;
For always between her IN idleness
The mendfng basket lies:
And the patient hands, though y
Work lovingly on and on
AZ tasks that never are e ished,
For meuuing is never done.
She takes up the fathers stocking,
And skilfuly knits in the heel
And snooths the seems with a tender touch,
Ihat he may no TOughness feel
And her thoughts 20 her merry girlhood
And early wffehood go,
And she smiles at the first pair Of stockiugs
She knit SO long ago.
Then she speaks to the little maiden
Learning to knit, at her side.
And tells her about those stockings
Uneven and shapeless and wide
had TO rayel them out, my dear;
Don't be discouraged, but try,
And after while you'll learn to knit
As swift and as even as 1"
She takes up little white apron,
And thinks Of the woeful face
Ot her darling when she came cryingt
IN, mamma I've torn my lace"
SO she mended the child's pet apron,
Then took Hp tiny shoe,
And fasteued a stitch that was broke
And tied the ribbon of blue.
The maiden has wearied Of working
And gone away to her play;
Ihe sun 10 the West was sinking
At the close Of the quite day
Now tae mothers hands are resting,
Still holding the stocking of red
And her thoughts in the twilight shadow
To the faF-Otf future have fed
20 where viii the little feet wander
Before they have time to rest
Where win the bright heads be pillowed
When the mothers loving breast
Is under the springs blue violets,
Is under the summer grass,
When over the fall the autumn leaves
And the storms OF winter pass"
And a prayer from her heart she utters:
God bless them my dear ones all

Ere sorrow to them befau 10

From the St. Louis Republican,

the north to the south on account of
the climate, the presence of negroes
and other conditions which northern
people are unaccustomed to; but it is
rapidly becoming a choice between the
south and nowhere. Nearly all the de-
slrable landsJi1 the northwest are
taken up, and in the west the cattle
ranches are spread all over the districts
where water is found, and the cheap
lands and the almost unbroken forests
OF the south are the next field for the
restless northern man to move to. The
great trunk lines OF railroads running
TO the south will have every incentive
to stimulate the migration, and it
would not be surprising to see it de-
vclop, in few years, into something
like the movement that has successive
ly populated all the northwestern
states.

NIB. BLAINE AND THE O0LORED
VOTERS.
From the st. Louis Republican, !


In his speech at Bangor Mr.. Blaine
said that ''if you exclude the co!ored
men both from the basis of representa-.
ton and from the right of suffrage the
republican party walks to power with
case that the zephyrs do"
The colored men will be excluded
neither from the basis of representation
nor fIom the right of suffrage. Tbey
will continue to figure in the basis of
reprepentation, and will grow more
and more confirmed in the habit of
voting the democratic ticket until the
republican party will be only a putrid
remlniscence. But where in his re.
searches as historian did Mr.. Blaine
lean that zedhyrs are in the habit of
walking TO power? He must have
borrowed the metaphor from Logan.
1t is distinctly Egyptian.

Were men to confde more in their

have finer and more exact sense of
honor than men; their ideas OF right

motives OF expediency, and sordid

their Judgment.

Brother Bartholomew,
BY LOUISE IMoGENE Quincy,

Brother Bartholomew, working time,
Would fall into musing and drop his tools
Brother Bartholomew cared for rhyme
More than theses Of the schools,
And sighed. and took up his burden so,
Vowed to the MUSES., for veal or woe.
At mathis he sat, the book on his knees,
But his thoughts were wandering far away;
And chanted the evening litanles,
Watching the roseat skies grow gray,
Watching the Frightening starry host
Flame like the tongues at Pentecost.
"a foolish dreamer, and nothing more;
The fdlest fellow cell could hold"
SO murmured the worthy Isidor,
Prior of ancient NithiswoId;
Yet pitiful with dlspraise content,
Signed never the culprlt'J Punishment.
Meanwhile, Bartholomew went his way
~ And patiently wrote in his sunny cell;
His pen fast travelled from day to day;
His books were covered, the walls as well,
s'But oh, for the monk that miss, instead
OF this listless rhymer," the prior SAID.
Bartholomew diving, as mortals must,
Not unbelOv'd of the cOwled thrOng.
Thereafter, they took from the dark and dust
VI shelves and corners, many q song
That cried loud, loud to the farthest day,
How bard had arisen. and passed away,
Wonderful verses! fair and fine.
Rich in the old Greek loveliness;
The seer-like vision. half divine;
PathOs and merriment in excess,
And every perfect stanZa told
OF love and of labor manifold.
The king came out and stood beside
Bartholomew's taper-lighted bier.
And turning to his lords he sighed:
'HOw worn and wearied doth he appear
Our noble pOet--now he is deady'
80 tireless worker!' the prior said

AN EXPLANATION WANTED.
From the Chicago TimesI

Mr.. Blaine says that he does "not
wish to be understood as saying that
the recent labor troubles were the re-
suit OF democratic administration.
but there is suspicious contempora.
neousness about the two which the
democrats should be called upon TO
explain" The panic of 1873, the labor
riots OF 1877, and the yellow. fever eDi-

been the result of republican admin.

contemporaneousness about them
which the republicans should Be calleI

Sitting Alone.

A merchant alone in desolate store
Sang, willow, tit willow, tlt-willow!v
l said to him. "why are you pacing the floor
Singing, "Wiilow, tit-willow, TIT willow"
- Alas !" he replied, as he smothers his cries,
Il though it was nonsense to advertise,
And now Tve no custom at all but the flies,
Oh, willow, tit willow, tit-willow!''
