MOTHERS HANDS.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They were not white nor small,
And you, | know would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptOr's dream might be;
Yet were these aged. wrinkled hands
More beautiful to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Though hearts were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiing on
That children might be glad.
l almost weep, as looking back
TO childhOod's distant day, '-..
I think how her hands rested not,
When mine were at their play.
But oh! beyond this shadOw-land,
Where all is bright and fair
know full well those dear old hands
The palms OF victory bear
Where crystal streams, through endless time,
Flow over golden sands;
And while the old grow young again
I'll clasp my mothers hands.

Our Dear Mother.

For many long weeks we have been
looking upon dear wrinkled face, all the
dearer for that, and trying as far as pos
sble TO fix her sweet ratient features i'll
dellibly upon our souls and imagining
how it would seem when we could no
longer look upon them. We felt that all
the brightness Of the home would begone
when the sweet face was gone. We lin
gered near it, and often gAZed tenderly
upon it as we tried to realize that very
soon, even as the weary anxious days
lessened one by one it should be shut
from our sight forever
1t has all cOmenOw. Suffering is at an
end-the heavenly portals have opened
wide, and the pilgrims failing feet have
entered through the gatesinto thecity.'
We have come back to our desolate
home, and are trying to take up the old
accustomed duties once more, but moth
ing seems as it used to be. The one who
made the home lovely is gone. Bits of
her patient handiWolk are everywhere
around. The empty arm chair is right
before us, the vacant place at the table
we have been nerving ourselves to put
away the belongings of one whom we
loved and reverCd as no one was ever
loved and revered before. The pretty lit
tie knit slippers, the half worn shoes, the
comfortable wrapper, the dainty lace
cap, the old fashioned bonnet which COW
cred her hOnored gray hairs, all assume
such a strange, sainted significance az we
tenderly lay them in her lower bureau
drawer! Sacred relics they are which no
strangers hand must touch, for they be-
lOnged to our beloved mother who has
exchanged them all for heavenly gar
mentR and IL shining crown.
Perhaps by and 10y We shall become ac-
custOmcd to our loss, but he memory of
her beautiful life will never be cffaccd.
Beautiful twilight at set OF sun.
Beautiful goal with race well run,
Beautiful rest with work well done"

Good for Baby.

who must tend baby and sew: Take q
large square pillow, and for this hens

completed lay it on the floor and put
baby on it on his st Omach He will amuse
himself in many ways, and will often
learn his first lesson in creeping. here.
He will lie and pull at the flowers on he
