Remember Mother, Boys.

How the chirp of that lonely crick :
ct brings to mind that dear old home, =
yes, years and years ago, we are afraid
to say how many-when the breezes
crept in under the low hanging branch
es and the graceful elm swept the
roof Of the old home loving embrace,
when the odor of phlox and tuberoses
was waited in from the garden. We
remember the deep dark shadow under
the rough old oak, and the ruddy
lights the red ourtained windows; the
pleasant rooms, the books, the music,
and--mother. Do you remember
mother? It is your mother we mean.
The mother who laughed over our
baby antics, grew proud Of our boyish
triumphs, hid her sad heart beats
when We left the home fold to win our
way in the world, the mother whose
hair grew gray in her care for US,
whose heart grew humble by the null
titude Of her prayers IN our behslf; /;
whose face grew more tender as the
years marked their progress upon her
cheeks, whose steps faltered and whose
hands trembled because her bouyanoy
had been given freely in our behalf,
The mother who staid in the old home
while we were far away. The mother
bird in the nest after the Aedgling
had flown. There came at last let.
ter 20 us in another hand, and dear
old mother was at rest. Then we
went home, but the old time home
Was gone forever. All, we know, how
trivial everything then seemed beside
mothers love. We know how kind
word Of old would have cheered her
heart. We know how the business
cares crowded out the home letters;
aud how mother watched and waited
for the .ardy missive. We knew how
her heart bled for On old time oaress,
and how che went to rest with G pray
er on her lips for you. And now it is
too late, and the oriokets play their
lonesome melody, while white stone
in Goods Acre" marks where mother
rests after her work is done. Remem-
Der mother, boys, before it is too late
we have yet time to show our ap-
probation Of her love. See her hair,
it is as white as snow, and it has been
bleached by care Of US. Watch her
steps how they falter. Cherish her.
Show her your love. Court her as you
would sweetheart, if you would
make her happy. All too soon this
mother will be gone, and then God
grant the cricket song will bring
US naught but kind memories.

were engaged in carving portions Of
tusks with classical and other sub

ed in silver and silver gilt by some of
the finest Augsberg and Nuremberg
workers and formed vases and tank

various carvings in ivory were made,
