stitch is always dropping in the everlasting knit
ting,
And the needles that threaded. no, you couldn't
count today;
And I've hunted for the glasses till l thought my
head was splitting,
When there upon her forehead as calm as clocks
they lay.
I've read to her till 1 was hoarse. the Psalms and
the Epistles
When the other boys were burning tar barrels
down the street;
And I've stayed and learned my verses when
heard their willow whistles.
And I've stayed and said my chapter with fire in
both my feet.
And I've had to walk beside her-when she went to
evening meeting.
When wanted to be racing, to be kicking, To be
off;
And I've waited while she gave the folks word or
two of greeting.
First on one foot and the other, and most stran-
gled with cough.
"Yon can talk of Young America" say. TIN you
are scarlet,
HSold America that has the inside of the track !"
Then she raps me with her thimble and calls me
young varlet,
And then she looks so woe.begone have TO take
II back.
But there always isa peppermint or penny in her
pocket
There never was pocket that was half so-big and
deep
And she lets the candle in my room burn way down
to the socket,
While she stews and pntters round about till am
sound asleep.
There's always somebody at home when every one
is scattering;
She spreads the jam upon yonr bread in a way TO
make you grow
She always takes fellows side when every one is
battering
And when tear my jacket know just where To
go!
And when I've been In swimming after father said I
shouldn't
And mother had her slipper off according TO the
rule,
II sounds as sweet as silver the voice that says II
wouldn't,
The boy that wont go swimming such a day
would be fool!"
Sometimes there's something in her voice as if she
gave blessing.
And look at her a moment and keep still as a
mouse
And who she is by this time there is no need of
guessing;
For there's nothing like grandmother to have
about the house

Recipes For Shoe Dressing.


Here are two recipes for making dress
ing for shoes Take drains of spermaceti
oil, ounces of good molasses and ounces
of finely powdered ivory black and stir
them together thoroughly. Then stir in
half pint of good vinegar, and the dress
ing is ready for use. It gives bright,
clean surface and makes the shoes look
almost like new. The second dressing is
for rainy weather and is said to make the
shoes waterproof. Take an ounce Of bees
wax, an ounce of turpentine and quar-
ter of an ounce of burgundy pitch. Put
them into half pint Of cottonseed oil and
melt together over slow FIRE, being care
full that the mixture does not take fire.
