But Yet a Mother,

There are no ties that bind so close
as those of mother-love, and none
that cost so dear.
An example of this was given a few
days ago, in the case of a mother in
this city, who lay on her death-bed.
She had given up life and the world,
and was sinking peacefully into that
sleep which knows no waking, when
her little daughter, who had been
away on a visit, returned home in
answer to a telegram.
The child was led into the room and
stood sobbing at the bedside of her
dying mother. She had been told
that she must control herself and she
tried bravely to smother her great
grief, but when she saw the beloved
face so white and still on the pillow,
her whole soul was wrought into one
great cry
ooh, mamma, mamma, don't 20,
mamma! Wait for me!'
Back to earth and it's SORROWS drift
ed the soul that was almost anchored
in heaven. The pale lips that had
been speeches. for many hours part
ed in reply, as the words escaped like
ghosts of sound
will-wait- for-you, darling-I
will wait till-you-come."
And to give this last recognition,
and say these few words OF comfort to
her child, the mother suffered the ag-
ony of second death.
But it is through these divine mys-
teries of pain that God prepares usfor
his compensation Free Press.
