10 NY MOTHER.

My mother, the love that is given,
Is the LIKELIHOOD that flows from my heart,
Far better 1t were to have riven
The soul and the body apart,
Than to leave thus alone in life's desert,
In the herce, binding glare and the heat,
One tired and heartsick and weary,
No guide for the faltering feet.
My mother, the future holds nothing
A dreary road chilled by the blast,
ana the phantoms that glide on before me
~, are the ghosts Of dead hopes Of the past.
Ihey point with their cold, icy fingers
Al the grave Of my heart, and its chill
ANA they mock at the voiceless moaning
from memory nothing can still.
yet your face ever rises before me
see you, so tender, so true,
III II seems heaven were hell without you
ANA hell were heaven with you.
feel your cool hand on my forehead
gaze on your eyes tender blue,
And know hold all of earth's riches
And all Of life's joys in you.
All quivering with pain, am kneeling,
AT thy feet with child's pleading love,
While out on my souls darkness fiutters
The wings Of thy mercy's white dove.
l hear thy low voice in the twilight,
Mingling in with the mist of the rain,
Till it stills all my hearts thrObbing tumult
And sOothes into sweetness the pain.
And know, were my dearest wish granted,
Itwould be, with my head on your breast,
And my eyes on your face that | love so,
might close them forever-to rest.
And TO know that life's sacrifice brought YOU
Each day new joy TO reap,
One last look in your eyes, and I'd lay me
Sweetly down 10 Eternitys sleep.

requests. The other day a lady walked
into a store and inquired Of one Of the lady
clerks for a copy Of Her Ben"
"You mean Ben Hur,' General Wallace
book, " the clerk replied.
NO indeed | never heard Of that book.
The one | want is Her Ben"
The clerk asked the author, but the lady
could not tell who it was, and as last re
sort the question was appealed to Colum-
bus 4. Dollarhide, one of the oldest clerks
in the retail book department, and who is
recognized as a human bibliograph.
"Why, yes, we have it, " said he. 'The

at the village of Greenwich, where they
were visiting. About o'clock in the

his wife arose, noiselessly stole down
stairs in her bare feet, got loaded gun
that was kept in the house, slipped up
stairs again and blew out her husbands
brains. The woman held the muzzle of
the gun SO close to his head that the pow
der blackened his face, pillow and bed
clothes. When the inmates of the house
were aroused by the noise of the shot
and came into the room they saw Mr..
Bowers dead body lying in bed. They
soon saw from Mrs Bowers demeanor
that she was violently insane.
Mrs. Bowers is now in the custody of
the coroner. An inquest will be held on
the body Monday. There is no doubt
that Mrs Bowers became suddenly in
sane during the night 1t is stated that
Mrs. Bowers had scarlet fever some time
ago, from the effects of which she went
crazy. Bowers was employed as a fire<
man on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey. He and his wife resided in

took the child when Petit and his wife
went west, and on their return she only
parted with the little one for while to
please Mrs. PettiS After domestic diff
ticulties u the Petit family she thought
the child would be better at her home.
and therefore came here on Monday and
took the child home with her. On
Thursday Mrs. Highland came here
again with Sadie, and everybody con-
nected with the matter assembled at
Squire Laubach's. She there and then
delivered the orphan to Mrs. Petit
again until such time as everything
could be satisfactorily arranged and Il
thorough understanding had by all con-
cerned. Quite some costs accrued, which
the squire desired Mrs. Highland to pay,
but she refused and gave bail for court.
