STAY WITH THE MOTHER WHEN HER
HAIR TURNS GRAY.

We stood in the press mt the ferry gate,
Breathless, weary and just too late
Watching the great boat plunge and strain
Through roaring chaos of ice and rain;
And over the sullen crash and din
OF the turbulent flood tide laundering in,
Over the fret OF the restless crowd.
4 young voice, carolling sweet and loud,
Rose for a moment, and beat the air
Like the strong, white wings of the angel,
PRAYER:
80 feet that are f;iin to go astray,
Stay with the mother when her hair turns
gray -
Only the words of IL worn quatrain,
With pitiful plea in its sad refrain:
Only II lads voice, sweet and strong,
Trolling the catch of il threadbare song.
But Il nameless something, it might have been
The touch that make that the whole world
kin,
Quickened and warmed to a kinder mood
The hearts of the listening mu ltitude,
Crept with Il tender, If transient, grace,
Like a glimmer of morning, from face to face,
AZ the tired and shivering crowd made way
For the pale little women whose hair was
gray.
The world may be crowded with sorrow and
care,
But sweet human nature still thrives every
where
No matter how careless and GALLONS IT seems,
Absorbed in lis pleasures, its gold -getting
schemes,
There are warm, living impulses lurking |

Like dalfodils blossoming under The snow,

ray
Through some rife Of the cloud, may release
and betray,
For behind the inhcxible masks we put ON,
Beneath the cold guisc it may please us to don,
All unconscious it may he, some hament hno
Reaching out links us still to Nature Divine
There's an instrument locked in each world
hardened breast
Whose compass may never he proven, or guess
ed;
But the dominant chord of its grand master
key,
In the score of existence. is sweet sympathy,
oh in spite of the bitter corrosion of tears,
OF the rust and the dust of our work -a-day
years.
Though on our hearts's affairs The ashes may
lie
Like the dead roses dropt from all summers
gone by.
In the gamut of life those electrical chords
Breathe music that may not be fashioned to
words;
But The magical something that beats in each
breast
Ever thrills and responds 10 the highest and
best,
As The hearts ofthc multitude echoed that day:
''Stay with the mother when her hair turns
gray :"

A MOTHER.

The Christian home is the beginning of
the Christian church itself Through
Christ it is its foundation stone. The
church began in a godly home Ii pros
pers most where the home-life is the strong
est and purest.
4 gentleman in Boston, prosperous
merchant, told me this incident last sum-
mer:-I had once in my employ lad who
grew to ripe. full manhood while with me-
think l never saw more perpect char
acter. His whole life, in thought, speech
and action was as pure as a child's. He
has maintained that character to the pres
ent time; yet his freedom from vices, large
and small, was not caused by his ignorance
of these evils. He seemed to have sounded
all the depths and shoals Of iniquity while
standing ON the bank, SO to speak, and not
defiling himself by touching their waters.
| made the discovery that his two brothers.
younger than he, were singularly like him.
Their integrity and purity, their genial
dispositions and clean lives We're an inspi-
ration to not few.
At last found their mother; a woman
in ordinary circumstances, to whom God
had not given great wealth, and whose
only jewels were her three boys After
some questioning ON my part she told me
the secret of her success with these chill
dren. 1t seems that in addition to all the
usual e-guards which the mother-she
was a widow-could throw around her
boys, She had plan of her own, Of taking
each one alone with her at night for a con-
fidential talk before he went to sleep. In
that conversation she drew from him all
the strange things that had come to his
knowledge during the day, all the bad
words or wicked things he had heard or
seen; all the evil thoughts that had entered
his mind. Then she would point out to
him their meaning, their tendency, their
inevitable result, if followed. She became
the eon6dant Of each boy. She was his
eonfessor. He opened his heart to her,
keeping nothing back He grew to feel
that he dare not conceal anything from
his mother. Indeed, under such training
he could not easily do otherwis Use. Then She
would pray with him, give him her bless
ing. and he went to sleep pure and glad Of
heart.
Happy he
With such mother; faith in womankind
Beats with her blood, ana trust in All things
high
Comes easy 10 him. and though he trip and
fail

THE CARE OF BEDS.

At all hours both day and night the
body gives of, through insenslble perspira-
ton, exhalations that are impure. These
deposits are absorbed by the clothing in
the day time, and by the bed linen and
beds at night. Cleanliness induces fire.
quent change of clothing, and should sug-
gest and regain equal care with beds 1t is
not possible, certainly not convenient, to
wash feather bed or mattress.
To prevent contact with dirt or dust
each bed and mattress should be supplied
with extra covering, to be taken off when
needed. and boiled and washed.
The beds and mattresses should be
thoroughly aired and summed once each
week, and the beds should never be made
until they have been thoroughly aired and
ventilated. 1t may appear neat house
keeping to put the chambers to rights
early in the day, but it is certainly not
conducive to health to cover mp exhala-
tons from day To day 10 make an aeeu-
mutation Of infecjion-this really does not
seem clearly
Beds are frequently used for years, and,
unless they are properly attended TO, they
must become deposits of disease. It is not
sufficient, even in the best care, TO put
only one sheet between the person and the
bed. The sheets thus used should be made
Of such material as can be boiled and
washed, and then should be frequently
changed Sunshine and air are eifectual
disinfectants, and all parts Of the bed
should be exposed to currents Of air once
each day. FOR an hour at least. and put to
sun once week.

ELECTRICITY IN WATER.

Our conceptions of strength and eDdur-
ance are so associated with visible nipple
ments and mechanical arrangements thai
it is hard to cast them aside, and yet the
stream of electric fire that splits an ash is
not ponderable thing, and the way in
which the loadstone reaches the ten pound
weight is not pereeptible. You would
think the man had pretty good set Of
molars that could gnaw poker like stick
OF candy, but bottle of innocent looking
hydrogen gas will eat mp piece Of iron
bar as though it were a piece OF fayoritc
pudding. Mr.. Faraday, the great chemist,
LAYS claim to have demonstrated that each
drop of water is the sheath of electric
force sufficient TO charge 500, 600 Leyden
jars. IN spite of teetotal pledges, there
fore, the most temperate man is a pretty
hard drinkcr, for he is compelled TO slake
his thirst with a condensed thunder storm.
The difference in power between a wom-
ans seolding and woman's tears is ex-
planned now. Chemistry has put it inte
formula When a lady scolds, man has
to face only few pnifs OF articalate car
bonie acid. but her weeping is liquid light
ming.

THE TAILOR MENDED.

The Inter Mountain lied in making it's
charges against the Hon. J. X. Toole; it
lied IN its attempt to support them and
when The MINER proved it had falsifed
the record it endeavored to direct atten-
ton from it's infamous lies by resorting to
the weapon OF the sneak, the liar and the
coward, by a personal attack in it's col
umns upon the editor OF this journal.
If we were disposed to lose sight OF the
matter in controversy we might retort in
like language and say that Guy X. Piatt is
q blear-eyed, scorbutic, feshless diseased
beast; that from the day he was picked
from the cutters OF Helena q despised,
bloated drunkard and ibertine by
Colonel Voolfolk, through the years
he has walked the streets OF Butte with a
whisky bottle in his pocket, a lie upon his
lips, cowardice and deceit in his heart,
poison in his blood, and the curse Of God
written in living. glowing, burning letters
across his deformed visage-telling of de-
bauchery and licentiousness-he has made
a record, from the perusal of which every
decent man and woman would recoil with
horror, and Satan himself turn away with
Joathing
But we will neither defile the columns Of
The MINER with such charges, nor accord
him such 1attery. Lost to decency, devoid
Of manhood, and ignoring truth. we leave
the unclean beast to wallow in the cesspool
of his own creation, branded liar, migrate,
hypocrite and coward.
