MOTHER.
by u. {. DODGE.

In all the world-go where you will
You'll never find another
Who'll stick To you through good or lll
And love you Ikea mother.
In ali the world-where'er YOU roam
With sister, wife or brother.
You'll never know so sweet a home
AS that one made by-mother.
In all the world-thOugh wealth commands
For YOU the work of others
You'll never find pair OF hands
To toll for you like-mother's.
In all the world-although you should
In riches nearly smother
You'll taste no cooking half so good
AS that prepared by-mOther.
In all the world-th though friends sincere
And more TO you than brothers
You II never for moment hear
A voice 50 kind aS-mo hers.
In all the world although you break
The tender hearts of others,
There IN no heart can ever ache
For you as much aS-mOther's.
In all the world-though YOU create
A pleasure for another,
You can give none joy so great
As you can give to mother.
In all the woTld-althOugh a wife
MAY you i'm goodness smother.
There's none who'll sacrifice life
For YOU as quick rs mother.
In all the world-where YOU I'm bliss
May soon forget another.
There is no one whom you will miss,
When she Is gone, like mother.

Texas siftings
Save us from the neighbor who
thinks herself intimate enough to be
privileged to enter our house without
knocking. You can never foresee
when she will be down upon you. Do
you stand before your mirror, razor in
hand, in shirt sleeves, with face COW
cred with lather? Then it is that she
glsnces in with a smirk, "Just to say
good morning" and rufiles your tenn
per, and demolishes your sense of dig
nifty. Is your wife without cook or
maid, and is she in the kitchen flushed
and perspiring and untidy, getting up
a hasty meal? The intimate neighbor
is dead sure to rash in unannounced,
and when you beg her to step into the
sitting room, coolly passes you and
surprises the mistress of the house
over the hot stove. Then to see the
wretched efforts the latter makes to
appear at ease, and to make the vulgar
visitor feel that it is delightful for one
to be surprised with her hands in dish
water and a SCOT spot on her cheek,
is enough to give one the lock jaw
And as for the miserable man who
tried in vain to stop the lady in the
parlor-his actions in the privacy of
his bed chamber are those of wild
and desperate creature. Is there no
remedy for this most intolerable of all
small nuisances2

Fruit or Meat.

Richardson, in Longman's Magazine.
The food which is most enjoyed is
the % " n breed
all my long medical career, extending
over forty years, i have rarely known
an instance in which a child has not
preferred fruit to animal food. | have
many times been called upon to treat
children fol stomachic disorders in
duced by pressing upon them animal
to the exclusion fruit diet, and have
seen the best results occur from the
practice of reverting to the use of
fruit in the dietary. say it without
the least prejudice, as lesson learned
from simple experience, that the most
natural diet for the young, after the
natural milk diet, is fruit and whole
meal bread, with milk and water for
drink.
The desire for this same mode of
sustenance is often continued into
after years, as if the resort to flesh
were forced and artificial feeding,
which required long and persistent
habit to establish it's permanency as a
part of the system of every day life.
How strongly this preference taste for
fruit over animal food prevails is
shown by the simple fact Of the reten-
ton of these foods in the mouth.
Fruit is retained to be tasted and rel
ished. Animal food, to use common
phrase, is "bolted." There is natural
desire to retain the delicious fruit for
full masticatioD; there is no such
desire, except in the trained gour-
mand, for the retention of animal SUBJ
stance. One further fact which have
observed-and that too often to dis
card it, as fact of great moment
is that when a person of mature years
has, for time, given up voluntarily
the use of animal food in favor of
vegetable, the sense of repugnance to
animal food is soon so markedly devel-
oped that a return to it is overcome
with the utmost difficulty.
Neither is this a mere fancy or fad
peculiar to sensitive men or over SEN
timental women. / have been sur
prised to see it manifested in men who
were the very reverse of sentimental,
and who were, in fact, quite ashamed
to admit themselves guilty of any
such weakness. have heard those
who, gone over from q mixed diet of
animal and vegetable food to a pure
vegetable diet, speak of feeling low
under the new system, and declare
that they must needs give it up in con-
sequence but have found even these
without exception) declare that they
infinitely prefer the simpler, purer,
and, 10 1t seems to them, more natu-
raj, food plucked from the prime
source of food-untainted by its pas
sage through another animal body.
The Arkansaw traveler., 1889-06-01

Practical Religion,

There is a religious revival at
Calhoun, KY. and Sheriff White, Of
Nc Lean county, has been among
the converts. lie is a convert of the
right kind, for as soon as he got
religion he began to put it into prac
teal shape. He confessed that he
had stolen a thousand dollars from
the county treasury thirteen years
ago, and, after telling of the crime
he had perpetrated and so long con
ccaled, be proceeded to show his
repentance. He also thought that
something else than repentance was
necessary. He did not rest satisfied
with bewailing his guilt, or shedding
tears over it, or asking Divine par
don for it, or warning the brethren
against following his example, or
promising that lie would never again
do wrong. The sheriff Of Mclean
county took another way of showing
the genuineness of his repentance
and conversion. He restored to
the treasury Of the county the 'thou
sand dollars of which he had de-
frauded it in 1876. That was the
thing for him to do. That LOOKS
like practical religion, in accordance
with the Scriptures. The case is
worthy OF consideration by a convert
who has ever been guilty Of a deed
like this without pursuing the course
that he adopted after repentance

The SOuthernere

One can generally pick out q
Southerner on the streets in New
York. His clothes are either old
fashioned and we'll worn or fresh
from the best tailor in town. He
wears a fine slouch, soft hat, creased
together On top, the back of it
slightly turned up ard the front
pulled down. The hat is worn q
"leetle" On one side. He is calm.
eyed and selfpossessed, and has the
stolidity of an Indian under all
circumstances. He is never ia a
hurry-hurry being in his mind,
relegated to district messenger boys
and bank clerks. When told to
"step lively. by the autocrat of the
elevated road he looks as if a liberty
had been taken with him. On the
cars he is always on the look out for
women to give his seat to, and wears
the general air Of being in foreign
country, but too polite to be aston
ished at the habits of the natives.
He viii stop and look into shop
windows with delightful sang froid
and if perchance, he meet an ac-
quaintance who is a lady he viIl
remain bareheaded until requested
to put on his hat. He is quiet and
soft-spoken, and stands about as
firmly on his social legs as an Eng.
lishman, and will shake hands with
the colored porter while he crushes
the lordly and familiar hotel clerk
with " look Of deadly poli,eness.-

Give Us n Navy.

We have been long of the opinion
that the United States should have
6rstclass navy-the peer of any
in the world. Late events have
justified the belief which we have
always enterta'ael on the subject.
When the navy3st the close Of the
war was dismanfled and disbanded,
we felt that a great mistake had been
made. Instead Of vessels being put
out Of commission, sold or broken
up, they should if susceptible of
being improved, haze been Improved.
old and useless ones should have
been replaced by new, and onr navy
been built up to the standard of
that of England or France. 1t should
never have been allowed to fall into
its present condition. 1t was very
poor economy to have allowed it to
do so. But such advice would not
be listened to twenty years ago.
To-day it is painfully evident that
such a policy would have bsen the
true one. For want of g good navy
we must either be snubbed, or else
place our rich seaboard cities in
danger from the most insignificant
enemy. Here in San Francisco mer-
chandise and improvements to the
value Of two hundred millions. be.
sides valuable lives are exposed to
great danger of destruction by a
hostile fleet which it would in fine
weather be almost impossible to
Keep off. In fact, at present, except
we improv;sed a defense by some
one or more ordinary ability, we
would have to depend on the weather
rendering it impossible fer vessels
to lie to outside and lombard the
city. II war was declared by Ger.
many against US, or by the United
States against Germany, two months
at furthest would see a contingent
Of German war steamers outside the
Golden Gate-perhaps period Of
loss than two months. And it takes
three months to complete the Char
leston-we don't know how long to
complete the San Francisco. Il
New York and its sister cities, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore. New
Orleans and other smaller oeaports
or ports adjacent to the sea, includ.
ing San Francisco, there is property
valued at two and a.half or three
billions exposed to the dangers of
war. This should not be. The
present danger, even if it passes over
should serve as warning and hurry
the building @ e navy which should
be able to cope at sea with that of
either Ftance or England. 1t does
not matter what it would cost. The
dearest navy would be cheaper in
the end, than a war with almost
second rate power.-San Francisco

Boston 1kum for the Heatheh.

A Boston letter to the Congrega.
tonaist says: II have directly
learned, from the best authority, that
a distiIlery firm within three miles
Of the Massachusetts state.house has
contract to furnish 3000 gallons
Of rum daily to the African trade
for the next seven years. This would
be equivalent to almost 100000
gallous annually. 1t will be a sur
prise to many to learn that almost
all the rum manufactured in the
United States is made within FIVE
miles Of our state.house. During
the last six years tie total quantity
manufactured and deposited in the
distillery warehouses of the country
was ll,133.704 gallons, an average
Of 1,855,el7 gallons yearly. o. which

Prohibition in Pennsylvania ia.

The Prohib bition campaign in
Pennsylvania promises to be very
exciting. All classes Of people are
already cyincing interest in it, and
it is probable that the vote will be
a large one. Had the amendment
been submitted to the people before
high license went into operation.
many, people who now oppose it
would unquestionably have support
ed it; but the new law has worked
so we'll wherever it was been given
a fair trial that many temperance
men believe it IS best to continue
the high license while longer.
Prohibition has not been a success
wherever it has been tried, while
high license as enforced in this city
at least has undoubtedly worked to
the satisfaction of the majority of
the people. Massachusetts some
years ago gave prohibition a trial.
h was a failure, aud when the peo
pie again had an opportunity to
vote upon the question of prohib1-
ton was defeated. Now the same
issue is before the voters of that
