sleep till the staggering steps of her

sleep till the staggering steps ,f her
wayward boy shall bring him home
again.
In all my travels throughout this
broad land, no saddcr picture has ever
met my gaze than that Of the mother
as she looks and sighs and longs for tho
homecoming of her wayward boy. IL
that boy could suffer one day what
mother suffers every day. he would re-
form his life and be a JOY instead OF
such a source of pang and pain to
mothers heart. Father may chide,
father may scoid and rebuke, but
mother, whose every word comes from
a bleeding, loving heart, baptized In
tears that would not stain an angels
cheek, and which fall upon the guilty
softly as the darkness of the night
steals away before the rising sun OF
morning. The father may drive his
drunken boy from his home, but he
can never tear him away from mothers
heart.
But for mothers, boys might, per-
chance, find some excuse for their de-
bauched lives, but with q suffering
mother looking on, the boy who drinks
is as cruel es a snake and as heartless as
a hyena. As loathsome a thing as q
debauched young man may be, yet the
facilities for making drunlsards of our
boys were never greater or moro
active. The wine supper, the cham
parna 1inncrs of our fashionable homes;
the .lub life with it's hilarities and
high wines; with liquors and lecher.
business, with it's follies and its fools.
These are but the anti-chambers OF
the gilded saloons, and through the
gilded saloon he staggers his way into
the bum hole of the low-down saloon
along the back alleys of the city.
Society teaches the initiatory step, the
club life is the freshman class room,
the gilded saloon the sophomore; any
saloon the junior, and the lowest down
| dive in the city the room for the sem
iors where they get their diplomas,
that they may enter the potter's grave
yard and be qualified for the doom Of
| the damned. OF all creatures living Ol
| dead, women everywhere ought to shun
and spurn everything that broke q
mothers heart or doomed an immortal
soul.
A woman with all the conventional
tiles of society to back up the deed may
extend the wine glass to the young
man, and wheL he takes it from he's
hand then she becomes not only the
| force that starts lin. but she will eveI
be .'partlceps crlmi,lis" tn every down
ward step and deed of crime which
touches his life. 1t is true that "hs
who converteth sinner from the erros
of his ways shall save soul from death
and hide a multitude Of SINS" then 1t
also true that she who turns man to-
wards sin shall propagate multitude
of evils and bring soal to death.

Charles Emory Smith, of Philadel-

point committees to secure from the
legislatures Of the various states in

the adoption of laws to protect news

The committee on location of the

Weather and Crops

Vicksburg, June 15.-Weatber condi-
tions during the past seven days have,
upon the whole, been favorable. Tho
showers at the first of the week were un-
evenly distributed and crops in most
localities were suffering for the want of
moisture until the occurrence OF the
rains which have marked the close of
the week. Fields are clean and crops
are generally up to date.
Cool nights have, to some extent, re-
tarded the growth of cotton and pro-
noted the growth of lice aud other
pests. Squares have begun to form on
the plant in the central and southern
district
Old corn has been about all laid by"
and young corn is receiving It's last cul-
tlvation. Corn in silk and tassel where
well advanced.
Some localities report an increased
acreage in field peas. The oat crop,
which is now ready to be harvested, ap-

it is said TO be complete failure, and
farmers will not go to the trouble to
harvest it, but will leave it in the field
for live stock to Craze on.
Peaches, plums and cherries are ripen-

shipped in large quantities by vegetable
growers in the southern counties. The
tomato crop is reported to be unusually
fine in Kinds county. Meadows and
pastures are fairly good.
