A mother lends DER her babe SO fair,
Smooths its rings o. golden hair.
Studies its features and eyes OF blue,
Its face-the image OF papas too
And longs for the time. both early and late,
When baby should grow TO q mans es;a Q.
~Tempus fugiti" The years have flown.
And baby at last to man has grown;
But where is the mother so young and fair,
Who watched her babe wi tender ct care?
Alas you will scarcely know her to-day,
For her golden tresses are silvered with gray.
Her step is slow, her eyes are dim.
She -rembles nov through every limb;
Her rm. that once was full of grace,
Is b with age, and her dainty face
Is Fl sd with sorrow En1 anxious care.
Alas there are changes everywhere.
Thirty will number the years that have gone
Thirty long years since her baby was born
Now wi b saddle ned heart and tear-bedimmed
eyes,
She bows low her head and IN agony cries:
Give back my babe.' but prayers are in vain;
The man can ne'er be child again.

''Deuced Clever, by JOve."

A friend of mine was visited not long
ago by an English gentleman, who
seemed to take q great interest in
whatever was shown to him, and to be
highly appreciative of American insti-
tntlons,. howbeit his admiration was
rather monotonous in expression.
My friend piloted him through one
of our cotton mills.
"Deuced clever, old boy, deuced
clever" he said, as they came out.
Then his host showed him a large
Auburn shoe factory.
George, that's deuced clever!" he
exclaimed, enthusiastically.
On the way across the bridge the
English gentleman stood still for q few
minutes and gazed at the foamy falls
roaring down over the rocks.
by jove! that's deuced clever!" said
he.-LeUistOn Journal.

The Struggles OF Authorship.

If You have not positive talent the
sooner you are crowded out as writer
the better for yourself and the reading
world-more especially yourself. And
yet, it seems to M, ii one is 80 much
in love with his chosen work, and a
desire to benefit humanity through it,
as to become miserable and to find life
confined to any other path, an aimless
existence, it would be better to con-
tinue in this work, solely in the hope
of it some time proving benefit to
mankind-setting aside the selfish de-
sire of reaping the reward yourself.
Alas, that it is so! How many have
left q record of their thoughts Gum
appreciated in their lifetime) that have
caused their memory to be revered,
and filed the Golfers of succeeding
generations, long after the brains that
gave them birth and the hands that
penned them have passed from earthly
life.-Monnie Moore, in st. Louis
Magazine.

AN OLD FASHIONED AFFAIR.

The entertainment at Pollasky Hall,
Tuesday night, given by the Ladies
Library Association, was very natur-
al and correct representation of 1.-THE
district school of the olden time" The
stern schoolmaster with the old time
instrument of torture, -the "ferule,'
the utter lack of system and order in
conducting the exercises; the rude and
uncouth manner of the pupils, their an
tique costumes, their mischievous
pranks, their ludicrous blunder in their
answers to questions, humorous mis-
takes evincing in many instances, their
total ignorance Of the topic under con-
sideration, the please may | go OUT
it is necessary, please may pass the
water. teacher 'Miltades' is pulling
my hair, George Washington Jones
throwing paper wads, teacher haint
got no book" the big boy learning his
letters and the utterly stupid method
by which he is being taught to do this,
the rude and scanty furniture, the ut
ter lack of apparatus, those aids to in
struction, without which no school can
be successfully conducted all combined
to represent in very vivid and truth
full manner the District School" as it
used to be. The various actors per-
formed their parts in very creditable
manner, while many proved themselves
possessed of unusual talent and gave
promise of their ability to cut a figure
on the stage. Their acting was worthy
of more especial notice, yet where so
many did well, We do not feel like
making invidious distinctions, yet we
must notice the vocal solos of Miss
Ward, Mrs. Yerington and Mr.. Gibson,
as being especially worthy of praise.
The visit of the school committee, their
luncompromising opposition to new
methods, their rigid adherence to old
customs, and stern rebuke of the in
PRODUCTION of new methods in spelling
and school management, their peremp-
tory dismissal of the teacher for lis de-
parture from the old ways IN introduc-
ing fool notions" were quite truth
full representation of the action and
characteristic of this august body of
visiting statesmen" in the days gone
by. The audience seemed well pleased
with the efforts of the association to
amuse them. The proceeds of the en-.
tertainment were twenty-three big
round dollars.
