The little chair is empty now, &
The little clothes laid by, q
A mothers hope, a fathers joy,
In Deaths cold arms doth lie.
The cheering pat of tiny feet
Is still upon the floor;
Her clinging arm and warm caress,
win greet US here no more.
Oh bitter grief oh, bleeding heart
This cross is hard to bear,
But Jesus called our darling child,
And now an angel fair
With crown of gold and raiment white,
She sings before Gods throne,
A cherub angel in His choir,
Who once was all our own.
And may we hear that thrilling voice,
In echoes from that shore,
When life with all its care shall cease
And we shall part no more.
FATHER AND MOTHER.
In Justice to my friends here insert
a card of explanation
When l closed Ridenour School l
had no intention of applying for it
another term. l was tired and dis
couraged. A committee composed of
some patrons of the school waited
upon me and asked me to teach. |
replied that Ridenour people did not
want me. They told me that was
mistaken that they did want me, and
not a single complaint had been laid
against me. "If that be true" l
replied, 81 do not object to going
back" The feeling was novel one,
to sit bacl; and look at my warm per-
sonal friends securing a position for
me. was delighted The Board of
Education smiled upon the scene and
favored it, to their honor and credit
be it said. The policy of protecting
faithful, earnest and capable teachers
ought not to be a secret one, and
Where a resident teacher had been
fairly successful there ought not to be
change made" should be a policy
as fixed as the stars
But former friendly trustee, John
Patterson, said there was an objection
to me That l did not conduct my
school properly. The hundreds who
know how my school was conducted
can certify that this charge is wholly
false " When man has no judg-
ment, says Prof Foulk, =" No power
on earth can make him use itl'
saw the drift and would not apply
d. NJ. Brown secured the school, May
he have all the success he deserves,
and all the ability he possesses car
secure for him, and if he does more fol
the school, is more faithful, shows less
temper, and controls the school better
and uses less rod, then we will take
off our hat in honor Of d. NJ. Brown
Yours, out Of job,
Laura Tabler.
