My Mother.

The name how dear to me, the recOl-
lectlons how fondly cherished, her image
how often before me! In my imagination
how often do think of that sweet voice,
with eyes i'll whose depths the love light
shown; the dark brown hair threaded
with silver, lying smoothly over that
noble head; those welcome smiles, that
beckOned me on to duty, to love, and to
obey, and that are remembered with
fond emotions even today; those dear
hands which guided my tottering steps
and feeble efforts in childhood, and
smoothed my pillow in sickness. Blessed
be the memory of such a mother 1t
comes to me today refreshing and fra
grant as some woodland perfume
Yes, the music OF other voices NAV be
lost, but the enhancing memory of hers
will echo in my soul forever. Some NAV
fade in memory. but hers will shine on
until the light from Heavens portals
shall glorify my own.
When in the titfu! pauses OF busy life
my mind wanders back to the old home
stead and crossing the wecome threshold
imagine myself once more in the quiet
old room so hallowed by her presence,
how the feelings of childish innocence and
dependence comes over me. And today,
though years have passed, | kneel as if
by her side in chidlike form and prav.
Our Father
Yes, pitiless death has torn from me
her who, alter giving me my being held
1t a sacred duty to watch and guard me
not only with sustenance for the mater
ial body, but also for the imperishable
soul. oh, cruel death, Why did thy cold
scythe touch in fury the heart of nv be-
loved, venerable mother, Could not the
respect and love with which | surround
ed her have been safeguard against
that blow
Tan more be said of mother? Yes. she
lived and died a Christian. with bright
hopes of eternal bliss Oh, prav. her
advice. words and prayers may ever save
me from sin, guide me in duties here on
earth that may be prepared for the end
and meet her in heaven
Though more than twelve months have
passed since was called to say farewell
to her, they have not diminished nor hid
den from my sight the glory of her pure
love for me.
On sad. how sad. no mother now to be seen
Yet never. no never can We be weaned;
But may stronger ties bind US fast
Until We meet in Heaven at last
For she is now walking the golden streets
With loved ones that have gone before;
Yes there awaiting for me to come.
Just beyond the shining shore
Devotedly her daughter.
. MRS. lSHAM c. ROWLAND.

The secession Of Norway from the
united kingdom OF Norway and
Sweden probably markes another
step in the progress Of constitutional
liberty. 1t seems likely that this
Land of the Midnight Sun may
soon take her place in the sisterhood
OF republics. The canny Norwegians
choose a good time for their move,
now that the Russian bear has his
mind on his own troubles at home

considered one to be reckoned with by
the aggregations with pennant aspira

On top in the race and it is felt that
finishing second or even third can
bring no disgrace. The public has
backed the Islanders in a sportsman

winning or losing, realizing fully that
he showing they were making was a
splendid advertisement for the city
and good sport was being furnished.
While, as every other team has done
and always will do, the Islanders have
