! We are about 10 pay our last tribute Of
/ respect aud love To the memory OF one who
for SO many years dwelt among us, not $
an active worker, but as a gentle creature
made purer, holier, n more tit TO SYM u
thize, comfort and console, byycars ofphys-
zeal suffering. aud whose spirit, after htl-
Ing been chastcuod under the Rod of The
| Almighty had been taken unro itself that
mcekncss and submission which only comes
to the true Christian.
We never thought that the II who lived
among Us so quiet, so gentle, so unotiend-
ing could ever be missed so much, but there
is 4 great void in our hearts and home.
When we 20 about the home duties that
feeling of something missing eli, SIS to us,
and when the work of the day is over, aud
we gather around the evening fire the arm
chair which was her ~favorite seat among
us is vacant and we cannot teep up the
pleasant converse that she used to take a
part in. A link from our family chain is
misSingand our hearts are sore and griercd.
Death came suddenly and quietly. and
our loyed-oue passed over the river into
her Sayiors' arms without 4 murmur, and
as we looked on the dear dead face as 1t lay
in the coffin and saw how the lines of care
and ace had been smoothel away, and saw
the sweet smile of peace which rested Ike
the last ray of the evening sun around the
quiet mouth, we know that her abode was
under the shadow Of the Almighty, and
now
Our home is so lonely, our hearts arc al,
sore,
They are bleeding for mother, will we see
her meier more?
Must the days and the years roll on just the
same,
Leaving only the memory of "mothef,"
sweet name?
when the sun shines out brightly, the birds
again sing,
when the flowers now hiding, bloom out
in the Spring,
When the south winds sweep peacefully
through cedar and pine,
The moon beams fall gently the stars bright

Will she never come 10 cheer us with smiles

And sweet words of comfort, as in days of
yore?
speak comforter, speak to our sad hearts

dear mother, in heaven we know,
Thou are free from all pain, thou will suf-

would know him,

would know nlm.
After he had crossed the Mexican line
he began to take more interest i'll his
surroundings. He liked the genial
warmth of the climate, even the hot,
gIaring sunshine when it reflected back
from the sandy soil at midday. 1t was
in such blessed contrast to the dull, cold
and ever gloomy interior of the prison.
He would like to lie down there in the
sand and bask in the sunlight as the
brown, half naked children did. He
liked the dark, friendly, ignorant faces
of the people, so full of human interest
were they, so in contrast with the
brutal. vicious types with which he had
been 80 long surrounded. Sometimes
be wondered if his own face had taken
on such II lowering cast as theirs. He
had heard that one would grow to re-
semble those whom they were constant
ly about.
How would George receive him?
Would he be grateful for all that had
been done for him, or would he look
down upon his brother because he had
been in prison2 These thoughts tor
mented him SO that he stopped in his
journey and gave himself up to them,
and idled and hesitated for a week when
only a days journey distant from the
end. But at last he summoned up all
his resolution and went OH. He would
put the matter to its final test.

Early Railway Travelling.

The first regular train service in this
country commenced on the Liverpool
and Manchester Railway on Friday,
September II, 1880, two days after the
opening of the line. 1t was not on a
very ambitious scale; three trains each
way on week days and two on Sundays
were deemed quite sufficient. The nov
city of the thing, however, at first, and
very soon its proved safety and effici-
ency, led at once to much larger traf-
fic than had been anticipated, and as
the company could obtain rolling
stock the service was increased. For
time the people who had ventured to
risk their lives by the new mode of con-
veyance were the objects of admiration
for their courage or of contempt for
their foolhardiness; but one by one the
coaches had to be taken off the road
and everybody went by rail.
The time occupied in the journey was
at first more than two hours, and often
less, the distance being thirty-one miles
but even this rate was too fast for some
people, for a gentleman, writing about
six weeks after the opening of the line,
says the speed was too great to be
pleasant and caused him to feel some
what giddy. The travelling was not
very comfortable undoubtedly; the
coaches were at first only coupled with
chains, as wagons are now, SO that they
jerked the unfortunate passengers
nearly off their seats at starting and
clashed violently against each other
when the driver put on his brake.
When fairly in motion, if the speed was
any but the slowest the very short
wheel base produced pitching action
SO trying that if the journey had not
been a short one it would have seriously
affected the popularity of the railway
as means of passenger transit.-Corn-
hill Magazine.
