With all a mothers grace.

But some day III the after years,
Some day he'll understand;
Some day he'll know

"A wild lad plays his thoughtless part
AS fits his childhoods lot,
And tramples on mis- mothers heart
Outlines and knows it not.
He plays among his noisy mates
Nor knows his truest friend;
His mother signs, as still she waits:
Some day he'll comprehend;
The day VIII be
When he will see.
Some day he'll comprehend"
The strong youth plays his strenuous
part;
His mother waits alone,
And soon he finds another heart,
The mate unto his own.
She gives him up in JOY and woe,
He takes his young brides hand,
His mother murmurS: will he know
And ever understand?
When will he know

When will he understand"
The strong man fights his battling days,
The fight is hard and grim,
His mother plain, old-fa shioned ways
Have little charm for him.
The dimnesS falls around her years,
The shadows round her stand,
She mournS in loneliness and tears:
He'll never understand.

A bearded man of serious years
Bends down above the dead,
And rains the tribute of his tears
Over an old, gray head.
He stands the open grave above,
Amid the mourning bands:
And now he knows his mothers love
And now he understands

The Longest Petition.

A reference to the recent controversy in
the House with regard to the number of
names on the petition presented by Mr..
Sulzer of New York on behalf Of Cuba. led
to the statement by a gentleman to a Star
reporter that the memorial presented in
1878, requesting the aid of Congress in Sc
curing the release of Capt. O'Meagher Con-
don from Portland prison was the largest
ever sent to the Capitol, it containing over
3,UnWU names, including those of the gov
ernors, members of state legislatures and
other officials of nearly every state in the
Union. Capt. Condor had been sentenced
to death for the rescue of two American
officers from their British escort in Man
chester. England, during the Fenian ex-
element of 1867, but the United States
government. through Secretary Seward,
having made a determined and thrice re-
peated protest against his execution he
was respited, and his sentence finally COM
muted to Imprisonment for life. The petit
ton produced the desired effect. Congress
passed joint resolution urging President
Hayes to take prompt action in the matter
and he cheerfully complied, with the result
that the prisoner was released, after eleven
years incarceration.
