If Mother Would Listen.

If mother would listen to me, dears,
 She would treshen that faded gown; She would sometimes take an hours rest, And sometimes trip to town. And it shouldn't be all tor the children, The fun, and the cheer, and the play; With the patient droop on the tired mouth And the "Mother has had her day!" True, mother has had her day, dears, When you were her babies three, And she stepped about the farm and the house IS busy as bee. When she rocked you all to sleep, dears, And sent you all to school, And wore herself out and did without, And lived by the Golden Rule. And so your turn has come, dears,
 Her hair is growing white, And her eyes are gaining the tar away look That peers beyond the night. One of these days in the morning,
 Mother will not be here, She will fade away into silence The mother so true and dear. Then, what will you do in the daylight, And what in the gloaming dim? And father, tired and lonesome then, Pray, what will you do for him? Ii you want to keep your mother, You must make her rest today; Must give her share in the frolic, And draw her into the play. And, if mother would listen to me, dears, She'd buy her gown of silk, With buttons of royal velvet, And ruffies as white as milk, And she'd let you do the trotting, While she sat still in her chair. That mother should have it hard all through It strikes me isn't fair.

If the stars of heaven have voices.
 So the "stars of earth" have, too; If the golden host rejoices
 In its Armament of blue, So the modest blossoms meek Have their own wise words to speak. Lessons of the Resurrection,
 Of the loveliness of Heaven, Of His Fatherly affection
 Who such beauty here hath given; And each fioweret. hath it's speech, Hath its own sweet thought to teach. So the last white Autumn flower,
 Fitly named the Christ Flower holy, Bloometh in the wintry hour
 When the rest are buried lowly, AS He came with life and grace To the lost and fallen race. For the Festival of Saints
 It unfolds it's blossoms white, Pointing us, when courage faints,
 To their dear example bright: "Blest the pure in heart." it's word, "They shall see their sinless LoRD."

 In Berlin, where they drink beer all the time,
 the men are heavy, stout and logy. They sleep nine hours night and very frequently

septennial Division of Time.

 The seven first years of life. mans break of
 day, Cleans of short sense dawn of thought dis
 play; when fourteen Springs have bloomed his
 downy cheek, His soft and bashfnl meaning learns to speak From tw enty one proud manhood takes it's
 date; Yet is not strength complete till twenty eight; Then to his five and thirtieth, Life's gay fire sparkles, burns bright and flames in fierce
 desire. At forty-two, his eyes grave wisdom wear, And the dark future aims him OCT withi icare. With forty nine, behold his toll increase, And busy hopes and fears disturb his peace. At fifty six, cool reason reigns entire, Then life burns steady and with temperate
 fire. But sixty-th unbends the body's strength, Ere the unwearied mind has run its length. And when rom seventy, age surveys her last. Tirsd, she stops short-and wishes all were mast.
