NY MOTHER.


Some one j love comes back to me
With every gentle face / see
Beneath each wave of soft gray hair
/ seem to see my mother there.
With every kindly glance and word
1t seems as II must have heard
Her speak and felt her tender gaze
With all the love of olden days.
And am moved to take her hand
And tell her now understand
How tired she grew beneath the strain
OF feeling every loved ones pain.
No further burdens could she bear,
The promise of that land more fair
Alone could tempt her from her child.
And now if could keep her here
No sacrifice could be too dear,
No tempered wines for her too mild.
Then would smooth and kiss her face
And by her side take my old place
And sob my years and cares away.
/. The tears ! have SO long repressed
Would lose their ache upon her breast.
/ think if could feel her touch
Once more it would not matter much
How sunny or how dark the day.
love each mother that l see
That brings my own so near to ne,
Tor though neyermore may frame,
Upon my lips that hallowod name
To any one who will draw me near
And answer me with warm caress
AS long as there are mothers here
No child can be quite motherless.

THE BICYCLE HUsTLERs.--It is
surely a fact that the bicycle has
come to stay. More have been sold
this year than ever before, and the
season has only begun. Our own
city is certainly keeping pace with
the times and it is really amazing tc
see how many are being used here.
BARR & LANTz can well be called
1.-THE Bicycle Hustlers,n from the
way they have been selling wheels.
A customer simply has to see their
line to know that they can save them
money Ia the purchase of good
wheel. Among the many wheels
that have been sold here. there is
one which certainly deserves special
mention, viz 1.-THE United States.n
While it is not the only good wheel
made, it has certainly reached the
highest pinnacle of bicycle perfec-
ton, up-to-date, and any expert in
metal work, can readily see that it
costs more to manufacture it, than
any other on the market. The biz
cyclists of this place are blessed by
being close to the firm Of BARR &
LANTz.

THE CHINESE WALL.


Over two thousand years ago,
great warrior, named Chi-hoang-ti.
became master of the whole Chinese
Empire. Among the most trouble
some of his neighbors we're the Tar
tars on the North, consisting Of
numeroue tribes wandering over the
barren plains of Central Asia, and
living by hunting or robbery. They
we're much more warlike people
than the Chinese, and their incur
sions we're greatly dreaded. The
only mode of protection seemed to
be to shut them out, and for this
purpose he determined to erect
wall along the whole northern por-
ton Of his empire, of such height
and solidity as to be proof against
any attempt to scale it, or make 8
break in it. In order to obtain the
needful number of laborers for so
prodigious q work, the Emperor
ordered, that Of every three laboring
men in his empire, one should be
forced into this service, and work as
slave, simply receiving his daily
food.
The wall extended fifteen hundred
miles from the sea on the east to the
extreme western province of Sheusee.
1t was carried over the highest
mountains, through the deepest val
leys, and (by means of arches)
across the widest rivers. 1t was so
broad on the top that six horses
could travel abreast upon it, and
was fortified by towers at a distance
Of three hundred feet from each
other, in which guards were station
ed. The surfaces were Of brick and
stone, filed in with earth, and it was
all built in FIVE years.
Except the pyramids of Egypt,
this wall is considered as the most
ancient monument Of human labor
existing.
