Alasl that sons and daughters, them
selves so straight and graceful and edu-
Gated. should ever forget that they are
walking today over the fallen strength Of
an industrious and honored parentage. A

sacrifices that you learned accuracy Of

lous and complaining you were when you

MATERNAL FIDELIT-.
Oh. my young lady, what is that under
the sole of your fine shocsl 1t IS palm

fidelity. Young merchant young lawyer,

1t must be a leaf from the palm tree OF
your fathers self sacrifices. Do not be

FORGET THE UNPLEASANT THINGS.
7 have cultivated the habit of forgetting
the unpleasant things of life, and 1 chiefly
remember the smooth things, and as far
as 7 remember now my life has for the
most part moved on over road soft with
green leaves, They were torn off two
Dalnl trees that stood at the start OF the
road. The prayers, the Christian example,
the GOOD advice, the hard work of my
father and mother. How they toilcd!
Their fingers were knotted with hard
work. Their foreheads were wrinkled
with many cares. Their backs stopped
from carrying our burdens
They long ago went into slumber among
their kindred and friends on the banks Of
the Raritan, but the influences they threw
in the way of their children are yet green
as leaves the moment they are plucked
from a palm tree, and we feel them on our
brow and under our feet, and they will
strew all the way until we lie down IN the
same slumber. Self sacrificed What a
thrilling word. Glad am that our world
has so many specimens OF It, The sailor
