A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

There is a family in this city who
are dependent at this moment upon
a little child for all the present sun
shine of their lives. A few weeks ago
| the Young wife and mother was
| stricken down to die.
The question arose among them
who would tell her. Not the DOCTOR
Not the aged mother, who was to be
left childless and alone. Not the
young husband who was walking
| the floor with clenched hands and re-
| bellious heart Not-there was only
one other, and at this moment he
looked up from the book with which
he had been playing unnoticed by
them all, and gravely asked
rs mama doin' to die?"
Then; without waiting for an an
swer, he sped from the room and up
stairs as fast as his little feet would
carry him. Friends and neighbors
were watching the sick woman.
They wonderingly noticed the pale
face of the child as he climbed upon
the bed and laid his small hand on
his mothers pillow.
Mama" he asked, in sweet, ca
ressing tones, lis you 'fraid to die?"
The mother looked at him with
swift intelligence. Perhaps she had
been thinking of this.
Neutrality-suspicious." she
asked family.
Doctor, an papa an gamma
everybody" he whispered. Mama,
dear, little mama, doan' be 'fraid to
die, i'll you?"
mo, Charlie" said the young
mother, after one supreme pang of
grief, mo, mama won't be afraid"
Jus shut your eyes in e dark, ma
ma, teep hold my hand-an', an
when you open EN-, mama, it'll be
all light there"
When the family gathered awe
stricken at the bedside, Charlie held
up his little hand.
"Hu-s-h! My mama dom to sleep.
Her won't wake up here any more"
And so it proved. There was no
heartrending farewell, no agony of
parting; for when the young mother
woke she had passed beyond and as
baby Charlie said, cit was all light
there y Detroit Free Press.

heaven knows that her place, the
mother of our children, can never,
once left empty, be filed. except it be
by an angel specially detailed from
on high. An afectionate woman has
no will of her own. Mental philoso-
ply shows, by modern metaphysical
experiment, that, in place of volition,
she has sacrificing love. Therefore it
is the duty of the strong man to will
for her that she should rest in season.
No man ever did this yet and was
subsequently sorry. Thousands
have left her to herself till she broke,
and HAVEN vain wasted their wealth
like water for her cure. A good
mothers nerves are the finest crea tive
