HONOR THE DEAR OLD MOTHER.

Time has scattered the snowy flakes
on her brow, plowed deep burrows on
her cheek-but is she not sweet and
beautiful nowa The lips which have
kissed many hot tear from the childish
cheek are the sweetest lips in all the
world
The eye is dim, yet it glows with the
rapt radiance of holy love which can
never fade.
Oh, yes, she is dear old mother.
Her sands of time are nearly run out.
but feeble as she is they will 60 further
and reach down lower for you than any
other on earth.
You cannot walk into midnight where
she cannot see you; you cannot enter q
prison whose bars shall keep her out;
you can never mount scaffold too high
for her to reach that she may kiss and
bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love,
when the world shall despise and forsake
you-when it leaves you by the wayside
to die unnoticed, the dear old mother
will gather you up in her feeble arms,
carry you home and tell you of all your
virtues until you almost forget that your
soul is disfigured by vices.
Love her tenderly, and cheer her de-
cining years with holy devotion. 1.-THE
Bugle Call.

Buying Back Their Own Diamonds

The De Beers mines employ 5000
whites and from Is, 900 to 10000 of tho
natives as laborers. The natives, MIR,
McGregor said, will steal diamonds, and
no way had been discovered to prevent
the thefts. Under the law the native
laborers are kept in Enclosures called
compounds. They sell the diamonds
which they steal at few shillings per
carat. They are purchased, although
the natives are ignorant of the fact, by
agents of the De Beers Company and re.
turned to the company. Within the last
two years, Mr.. McGregor said, the COM
pany has paid in this way So, 900 for
diamonds which had been stolen by the
natives. Mr.. McGregor said it was ex.
pected that the dry diggings would be
worked out in two years, but they have
been worked since 1871, and there are nc
indications Of bottom being found.
To prevent the soil from caving in
shafts 1000 feet have been sunk, and
the mining is done in chambers similar to
that of American coal mines. ~ Balti.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.

LONG FINGEB AND LONG TONGUE.
Dear children, you IRE very nice,
To be so very young
But tell me, have you ever met
Long Finger and Long Tongues
Long Tongue can only blab the news
To towns and cities near;
Long Finger reaches round the world
And spreads it everywhere.
Long Tongue shouts out, "Hello Hcllor
And talketh over much;
Long Finger tells us oil he knows
Just by gentle touch.
All, l must solve my riddle now
Or you will guess it soon
Long Finger is the Telegraph,
Long Tongue the Telephone.

There Was Change in His Demeanor.

Two or three gentlemen, including
among them director, were travelling
together on the London and North
western line, when the train drew up
at Wigan station.
One of the passengers, ignorant OF
the particular locality, put his head out
of the window and, seeing a porter
passing; politely said:
what station is this, my good
MANI"
"Wigan. to be sure" replied the
porter in very surly tone
The director, hearing what passed,
was much annoyed, and turning to his
companions, remarked:
"This sort of thing will never dove
must have more civility on this line.
Will you," addressing a gentleman
who had not yet spoken, kindly put
the same question to the porter when
he comes this way?"
Soon the man appeared, and tho
gentleman said, "Porter, will you be
good enough to tell me the name of
this station?"
"Wigan, to be sure" came the
answer, with frown, and in a surlier
tone than before.
"Now," said the director, 81 will
speak to him and you will see the
change in his demeanor."
Conscious of his Importance, and Of
the paralyzing effect his presence
would have on the railway official, he
looked out of the carriage window and
pompously asked, Porter, what place
may this be-"
@Find out, you old IDIOT" came the
answer that almost took his breath

ANDREW MARVEL AND THE BRIBR.

Andrew Marvel, a poet of some little
fame, was chosen as a member of Paria-
ment for the borough of Hull, in the
reign of Charles ii. He was a man of
integrity and spirit, and such persons
seem to have been rare in that reign.
The Government, wishing to bring over
to their side so important q person, and
believing that a man of no fortune could
readily be bought, sent the lord treasurer.
who had been his school fellow, to see
Marvel Dandy, at parting, slipped into
his hand an order for 3 600, and then
went to his carriage. Marvel called the
treasurer back to the garnet, and then
summoned Jack, his servant-boy.
'Jack, what had for dinner yester-
day9"
Don't you know, sir9 The little
shoulder OF mutton you ordered me to
bring you from the market"
"Quitc right, child; and what have I
for today"
Don't you know, sir, that you bid me
lay by the blade bone to boila"
"'Iis so; very right, child; go away"
Then, turning to the astonished treas
urer, he said: my lord, do you hear
that! Andrew Marvel's dinner is pro-
vided. There is your piece o. paper;
l want it not. The ministry must seek
other men for their purpose; I am not
one."

COAL.MINERS OUT.

The coal-miners at Pittsburg and
towns in southeastern Kansas have
struck. The cause of the strike is
the "screen" law which was enact
ed by the Legislature last winter.
The mining companies claim that it
is impossible for them to abide by
the law and live; and yet, the
state of Missouri has a similar law,
and the mining companies seem to
be doing very we'll.
There is prospect, at this writ
ing, that the strike will be long
drawn out, but the strikers claim to
be able to stand it, as they have
been offered abundant assistance.
Gov. Lewelling says that the state
administration will stand by the
strikers as long as they act like men
and keep within bounds. Of course,
il they should destroy property or
do other unlawful acts, they cannot
expect protection or sympathy from
the state, nor from law-abiding citi-
gems. We do not advocate strikes
as a means of settling labor difficult
ties, but we sincerely hope that the
strikers in this case will win.

Col. GREENE, of the Lawrence
Record Independent Republican },
writes up the Republican League
meeting at Louisville in great shape.
We give an item or two:
Still less were the dele
gates ready to bemoan the want of
any ordinary inspiration, as each
"was again reminded of Kentucky
hospitality by the receipt of bot
tie of whisky labeled The whisky
that made. Kentucky famous Com
pliments of Albert Scott, collector
of internal revenue, Fifth district,
Kentucky" The delicacy of an
offering which thus suggested the
partnership between the United
States government and Kentucky
whisky was only a fitting return for
the consideration which induced an
utter silence in the resolutions upon
the liquor question. Per-
haps it was too much to expect that
the delegates, each with the sonor.
Gus gurgIe of "the whisky which
made Kentucky famous" from his
own individual bottle, presented by
a government official, should resolve
in favor of temperance legislation.
Of course, in a general way, they
endorsed the last platform upon this
subject, which declared that the
party "sympathizes with all wise
and legitimate efforts to lessen and
prevent the evils of intemperance." "
The specific endorsement of this
plank was furnished, of course, in
the good old manner of Republican
ratification of temperance resolu-
tions-by the uplifted bottle.
By the way, Fred Trigg was del
egate to that Republican League
meeting. We rise to inquire what
Fred did with his bottle of red-eye.

THE whisky power knows no law,
but is a violator of laws and the
rights of all who differ from them.
However, they are bringing about
their own destruction. For instance,
the blowing up of three houses by
the rummies Of Muscatine, Iowa,
has only created sympathy against
them. Each similar act will have
like effect. The rum fiend is digging
his own grave, and will fall therein.
