ABSOLUTELY Pure

false pleasure, and with what tact and
gentleness she points it out.
How she strengthens our desires to do
what is right, how she helps one out of
every difficult path into which they NAV
have entered. Wherever her home NAV be-
whether III palace or cot, always seems the
fairest home to the daughter who trusts
her.
How the girl is to be pitied then who
cannot make companion of her mother:
who cannot find with her the most refined
source of all intercourse And what an
unhappy life the girl must lead who can
not, or does not, give to her mother the
deepest love and respect. If she does not
love and respect her mother, how can she
ever hope to be loved and respected by
others? And how can she expect to win
the lasting confidence of her associates, if
she lacks confidence in good mother?
The tone of voice with which some
daughters address their mothers often
cause, more speedily than they dream, the
scales to drop from an observers eyes. And
the inward comment comes; how can | ex-
pect to be respected by a girl who does
not show more respect for her first, best
earthly friend than this?
If there is girl who cannot trust and

ever hope to lead pure, christian life? If
her mother really is not perfect and her
charity does not cover those imperfections.
how does she ever expect or hope to enter
into that life where 'charity suffereth long
and is kind?"
But few short years, girls, and the
word mother. Twill be sacred to our men,
ories. Let us then, while the present still
offers US opportunity, be kind and loving
daughters upon all occasions. By thus
doing we will not only be making her life
pleasant, but we will be able to say with
Forester TO his mother:
l bear happy heart, mother,
a happier never beat;
And. even now, new buds OF hope
Are bursting at my feet,
Oh. mother, life may be dream,
But If such dreams are given,
While at the portals thus we stand
What are the truths of Heaven.

Bridseton's Latest Sensation.

Three years ago George NJ. Elwell was
quietly married to Miss Winolia Steffin in
Bridgeton. Both parties were well-known
in social circles there. The marriage
caused considerable comment at the tim 9
owing to the differences in the ages of the
couple, the bride being only in her fifteenth
year and her husband almost thirty. That
the union was not happy one was not
generally known outside of the family
until last week, when the following notices
appeared in the Bridgeton Ecening Neus:
Notice is hereby given that my wife. Winolia
ana and oard S and that viii not be held respon pom
sible for any debts she may contract In my
name or on my account. GEORGE NJ. ELwELL.
AS soon as this notice appeared Mrs.
Elwell Immediately followed with this
''card to the public
In answer to the advertised notice in Tues
days Ne,os about my leaving the bed and
board of George NJ. Elwell ofmy own free will,
l Will say, had he treated me right and not
abused NE 1t would have been my will to have
been with him yet. He has gone so faras to catch
me by the throat, with froth. from anger, run
ming from his mouth, and have gone on my
bended knees and pleaded for him not to harm
me, and am afraid to live with him. He has
never provided for me as husband should. |
have depended upon my father and mother
for very nearly all my clothes; he has also
deliberately shaken me in another persons
house. l have left him because he has abused
me- While he was West he tried to take the
home from over my head. The day he left for
the West he left me one dollar to live on and
wanted to know If could get along with less.
Often when have asked him for money he
would give me ten cents and tell me not TO
spend one penny more than l really would
have to. And have asked him for fifty cents
when he has told me to "go earn it," He took
me q lady, and have come home beggar.
He is now a man over thirty years, while l
am a girl barely eighteen, and this has been
my life for the past three years, only this Is
not one-Quarter of what he has done, but Is
enough to convince the public that ! had
cause to leave. WlNoLfA ELwELL
The affair has caused quite stir in that
city, and furnishes the usual spicy material
for the gossips. What further steps may
be taken by either party is not as yet
known.

The high embankment across the Macal-
toner meadow near the pond was the
scene of bad railroad accident on
Wednesday morning, but by fortunate
chance of circumstances We are spared the
necessity of announcing anything mole
serious than the wreck of engine and freight
cars. The accident occurred at O'Clock,
when the Z. 40 train from Salem to Camden
collided with the rear end of the south
bound freight. The freight was in the act
Of pulling on the siding at Weatherby' 6
lumber yard, to allow the passenger train
to pass, when, according to the statement
of the freight crew, the throttle of the engine
gave out, leaving three cars and the caboose
on the main track. A fiagman was sent
down the track to warn the approaching
train, bat had gone but few hundred feet
when the train rounded the sharp curve
below the pond. The engineer, George
Parker, at once saw the danger, and ap-
piled the air-brakes. A passenger on the
train told MONITOR representative that
he felt no shock or shaking, such as
usually accompanies the putting on of the
air-brakes, and it Is supposed that the
brakes were applied SO suddenly that the
wheels were locked, and the track being
somewhat damp the train slid along until
it struck the freight. The speed OF the
train had been considerably checked, or the
consequences must have been much more
serious. As it was. the force os the colli-
sion overturned completely one freight car,
laying it over on the embankment, partly
overturned another, and knocked a third
off its trucks. The caboose remained on
the track. No injury was done to the
passenger train, save the severe damaging

Balm of Gtlead.

The balm of Gilead, which is alluded to
in the Old Testament as being extremely
precious, and which is spoken of by Strabo,
Pliny and other ancient writers as Being a
cure for almost every disease, is liquid
resinous substance of high fragrance and
enjoys very high reputation In the east.
1t is generally believed to be taken from a
species Of balsamodepdrow, a small tree
growing in Arabia' and Abyssinia and
known as balsam of Gileadeuse. The finest
balsam, called obobalsam or balm of Mecca
is obtained by missions, is at first turbid
and white, but finally becomes a golden
yellow color and OF the consistency of honey
Inferior kinds are obtained by boiling the
fruit and the wood
