THE NEW YORK Herald republshes the

adds that few more instances of that sort

But as Cheatham utterly denies and repn-
dates the whole and every part of the story
referred to, it is probable that the Tourgees

OUR MOTHER.

Lines on the death of her aged
mother by Mrs. Isaiah Smith of Mich
Ola, Idaho.
0 many lips are saying this,
Mid falling tears to-day
And many hearts are aching sore,
Our mothers passed away.
We watched her fading year by year
As they went slowly by
And put from US even the thought
That she should ever die.
She seemed so good, so true, so pure
To our admiring eyes.
We never dreamed her glorious
spirit
Was ripening for the skies.
But when at last the death stroke
came
So swift, so sure, so true
The hearts that held her here so fast
We're almost broken too.
We robed her in familiar dress,
We smoothed her gray hair down,
Gave one last kiss, then laid her
down
Mid autumn leaves so brown.
Then each took up the broken thread
OF life and all its cares,
With hearts so sad mid tolls tasks
We miss our mothers PRAYERS.
We ne'er shall know from what
dark paths
They may have kept our feet
Yet holy will their influence be
While each fond heart shall beat.
And as we tread the thorny way
Which her dear feet have trod
We e'er shall feel our mothers
prayers
Leading us up to God.
And for the one still left to us
Our father aged and lone
Who hears perhaps by night day
The old familiar tone.
Wen gather closer round him now
To guard from every ill
AS nearer the darksome river side
He waits His Masters will
And when the storm of sorrow
comes
To each bereaged heart
Our faith shall lead us to the home
Where we shall never part.
Where one awaits with loving eyes
To see her children come
AS one by one we cross the flood
To reach our heavenly home.
