CARS FOR MOTHER.
Boys and Girle, In Her Old Age.
Don't Neglect Her.

What can possibly be sadder than
a mother neglected In her old age d?
To think of all the pain, sorrow,
trouble and anxiety she endured for
nS. her many sleepless nights and
ourdened days when she held in her
arms the little feverish, fretful body
who would allow no one else to hold
1t to relieve her own WEAKNESS
Then when health again returned it
was still continual cry for mama 4!
mama |" the livelopg dayl And then
10 think that as the years pass the
growing children will depend less and
less on mother" till finally they
cease a together to go to her for her
counsel and care, aud think because
she is growing old, faded and wrinkled
that sire does not care for love and
tenderness as all other human beings
do. They neglect to show her the
small courtesies we feel due our
younger friends, because she will
not notice them" or she Is "too old
fashioned to understand" the up to-
date poiteness. To us at least 1t Is
heart breaking spectacle to behold,
for as mother" grows older we
should give her more instead OF less
of our love and tender care, and
should honor her years and expe
riance by asking her advice even on
trivial subj cts, for she will then feel
that she is still necessary to us and
can have share in cur daily trials
and joys as OF yofe, when she was all
in all to us.
Take my withered hands in yours,
Children of my soul.
Mothers heart is craving love,
Mothers growing old.
See the SHOWS Of many years
Grown my furrowed brow.
AS I've loved and pet ed you,
Love and pet me now.
Lay your hands upon my head,
Smooth my whitened hair,
I've been growing old the while
You've been growing fair.
l have toiled and prayed for YOU
Ask not why or how
AS I've loved ana petted you,
Love and pet me now
Take my withered hands in yours,
Children of my heart,
Mothers growing old, your love
Makes of life sweet part.
Touch with loye my faded cheek,
Kiss my anxious brow.
AS I've loved and petted you,
Love and pet me now.
Take my withered hands in yours,
Hold them close and strong.
Cheer ne with fond caress,
Twill not be for long.
Youth immortal soon will crown
With its wreath my brow.
AS loved and petted you,
Love and pet me now.
Take my withered hands in yours,
This your heart will prove;
If you owe me anything,
Pay the debt in love.
Pres me in your strong young arms,
Breathe loving vow
That as l loved and petted you
You'll love and pet me now.

PRESIDENTS IN REr1REmnHT,
Only Ten Lived Longer Than MT.
cleveland After Leaving once.

Only ten men who have held the
Office of president reached or sur
passed Mr.. Cleveland's present age of
So; only six exceeded 1t by so much as
ten years, and none exceeded 1T by
quite 20 years. Only ten presidents
have survived their retirement from
office longer than Mr.. Cleveland, and
four OF these lived to great age.
Washington, who survived his re-
tirement less than three years,
thought himself an old man when he
was first made president at The age of
81. John Adams survived his retire
ment quarter Of century, and his
son, John Quincy, who outlived his
retirement nearly 20 years, was the
only president who had nearly as con-
spicuous public career after occupy
ing the presidency as before.
MonrOe's six years after bis retire
ment from Office were passed In COM
parative obscurity as resident OF
this city, and his dying hours were
embittered by scandalous accusations
IN connection with Jiokson's seizure
OF Spanish forts in Florida during the
first Seminole war.
Polk outlived his retirement less
than year, and there is every reason
to suppose that had Arthur compassed
| bis ambition of an election to the
presidency in 1884 he would have died
early in his term, for he outllved bis
retirement less than two years.
Tyler, who outlived his retirement
20 years, emerged from obscurlty neal
the end of his life to preside over the
vain peace convention on the eve OF
the Civil war. He afterward served
in the congress Of the Confederate
States.
Buchanan lived more than seven
years after his retirement aud took
the opportunity to write what was ir
effect defense Of his administration
Jefferson aad Jackson were the only
presidents who exercised a really pow
erful influence over party councils az
ter their permanent retirement from
public Office, though Van Buren, was
an active politician as lorg as he hat
hope OF denomination at the hands o.
any party.
Johnson was the only retired presi
dent to enter the United States sen.
ate, and the younger Adams was the
only one to serve In the house OF rep.
resentatives.
Cleveland and Harrison have beer
the only retired presidents to be con
spicuously successful in private bust
ness. 1t is not generally known thai
Mr.. Cleveland still serves as consult
Ing counsel in law cases, in which hi,
experience in the Office Of presiden
may be supposed to have given him
special qualifications as an ad wiser
His fees in such cases are large, q,
were those OF Mr.. Harrison as a lega
adviser and lecturer on oonstitu
tional law.-New York Sun.

THE SADDEsT WORDS.
Rev. DR.. Hills Opinion of Remarks

in the course or his sermon in Ply.
mouth church, Brooklyn, recently,
the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
referred to the gift OF s10O. 900 made
oy John D. Rockefeller to the Ameri
can Board OF Foreign Missions, and to
Mr. RJokefeller's son. He said in
part:
The saddest words that have been
written In this generation were spoken
before Brown university by q young
man who Is to inherit one of the
greatest fortunes In this country.
They were spoken in defense OF the
trusts. Listen to the M: The Ameri-
can Beauty rose can be produced In all
its splendor only by sacrificing the
early buds that grow up around It,
The rose has 1000 buds and in order
to produce the American Beauty the
gardener goes around it with knife
and ships 800 in order that all the
strength OF the beauty may be forced
into ohe bloom. In his &c nomic
argument this young man tells the
working classts brutally that 900
small business men must BE- stuffed
out Of existence in order that his
American beauty, the trust, may be
produced. Listen to Christ: Let the
strong bear the burdens Of the weak;
and again: Give and it shall be
given unto you.'
These words in defense of the
trusts are the most heartbreaking
thingsin the literature to those who
know what Is ping to come in the
fnture. Can you wonder that after
that, when man gives gifts, we have
no gratitude to return?"
