MY MOTHER.

Our darling mother, she is gone,
And we are left to weep and mourn,
Our hearts are crushed with untold
pain
We here before have never known.
She now is hidden from our sight;
Her tolls and cores on earth are DER,
Her watch that made our home so
bright,
BY death, is ceased for ever now.
The loving hands that led us best,
In paths of duty, truth and right,
Are folded now across her breast,
So still and silent, cold and white.
Oh, loving Savior, give us grace,
That we may say: 'Thy will not mine, I"
Will Thou, to US, the comfort place,
That Thou can'st give thro' love divine.
Well lean toward Thy loving breast,
Until life's trials are all DER.
Oh, lead us safely home to rest,
Where we shall meet to part no more.
Our darling mother; thou art gone;
Our hearts are crushed with grief and
pain,
But. loving mother, could we now,
We would not call thee back again.
Sleep on, our precious mother,
From all earthly pain, you're free,
In Jesus arms, we know you're rest
ing,
Where no troubles come to thee.
Sleep on, our precious mother,
Where angels sweetly sing
In realms Of peace, thou art resting,
Ever saved thro' Christ, our King.

fBOM Los ANGELES.
EDITOR:

EDITOR:
AS the idea seems to prevail in
the East that Los Angeles, as
well as San Francisco, is in ruins
will you please publish this letter
as it will then reach a great num-
Der of people, who otherwise
would never know that our beau
tiful city is unframed.
Let it be emphatically under
stood that Los Angeles is all right
and unframed. It is true that
on the day following the earth
quake at San Francisco there was
a slight tremcr felt here, but it
was very slight; I suppose the
fact is there was some disturb
ance over the greater part of
the United States for it is stated
that the shock was felt in Wash
ington, D. c., and travelled from
East to West. Many people who
have not been in California have
the impression that the whole
State is in a ten acre lot with San
Francisco in the center, but it is
a vast territory, and Los Angeles
is 400 miles from San Francisco
When we stop to think of it,
Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Calves
ton and Baltimore have all expe-
rienced great catastrophes, and
they are now apparently the bet
ter off on account of being con-
structed anew. So it will be with
San Francisco. Thirty days from
now there will be from 10000 to
$4,000 men at work on the burn
ed district, and courage and in
dustry will cause her to rise from
the ashes to a greater height
of splendor and beauty than she
has ever known before. Imme-
diately after the disaster, every
one was so stunned to hear of the
appalling news that business was
neglected for a few days, but now
Los Angeles has done her part
for the comfort of the suffers and
is actually housing a great num-
Der of them, and since conditions
at San Francisco have taken
shape, all have turned again to
their business.
And now that the excitement
has passed away, the real tradge-
dies of the disaster will come to
light, and they will consist of
broken hearts, broken minds and
broken homes.
So hoping my letter is not too
long, l will close.

Romantic Air of Frisco.

San Francisco is permeated with an
air OF romance and adventure. NO
where may one turn without being
reminded of the legends that have been
woven around the forty-niners and
their immediate followers. The names
of the streets and of the business
blocks, such as Kearney, Sutter, Mont
gomery, Dupont, Flood, CTocker and
Sharon, bring to the mind of the VS.
itor long forgotten stories OF riot or
adventure and of fortunes whose vast
ness once excited his wonder or made
him incredulous. To read the words
that are painted upon the street cars
Of San Francisco is to be carried back
in fancy to the time when the city
was peopled only by those who, hav-
ing turned from all else thatmen hold
dear, had gone in search of fortune
and found it, always just as they were
about to give up in despair and die
of starvation or succumb TO the hard
ships with which human endurance
could no longer cope.

GAY FASHIONS OF THE PAST.
Gorgeous Raiment Worn by Men a
sg Few Centuries Ago.


Compared with the gay apparel worn
by the dandies of the past ages the
youths of our time in the gayest OF
gay raiment make but a poor show.
The Bishop of Ely in the fourteenth
century had a change Of raiment for
every day in the year. The Earl or
Northumberland boasted no less than
sixty cloth-of-gold suits at this time.
Much later, in Queen Mary's time,
the wardrobe of Bishop must have
been the envy of Solomon for the va
riety and costliness of it's contents,
and even a simple village priest wore
"a Vestment of crimson satin, vest
ment of crimson velvet, stole and
fanon set with pearls, gown spaced
with taffetas," etc.
In the time of Chaucer the men
wore clothes as many colored as Jo-
seph's coat, SO that, says the Ameri-
can Tailor and Cutter, while one leg
would be blaze of crimson the other
would be tricked out in green, blue
or yellow, without any regard for har-
mOny or contrast. Even as late as
the middle of the eighteenth century
dandy would dress himself in vivid
gren coat, waistcoat of scarlet, yel-
low breeches and blue stockings.
And the gentleman of few years
later wore, among other Vagaries, a
coat of light green, with sleeves too
small for the arms and buttons too
h 10 for he pln n in Of 1nn
chester breeches without money in
their pockets, clocked silk stockings,
a club OF hair behind larger than the
bead which carried it, hat not Iarg-
er than a sixpence on a block not
worth farthing.
Another quaint chronicler at one
fashionable epoch of our ancestors tells
us they would wear clothes SO tight
to ye skin that it might be well con-
ceiyed they wore no clothes at all"
and at another time they would wear
them 80 voluminous that a single
suit might well have afforded raiment
for whole familie, and 80 stuffed opt
wearers resembled nothing SO much
as walking sacks"
A fad which had great vogue was
to combine on one person the dress
of all the countries of Europe. At
another time shoes with square toes
were the rage, and royal proclama-
tion was issued limiting the width to
six inches. These were succeeded by
shoes with the finest points. In the
time of Henry ii shoes with points
two feet long were worn by the fash
ionables, and in the reign of Henry
Nv these points had grown to such
length that in order to be able to
walk at all it was necessary to attach
the tips to the knees by chains, which
were of gold or silver. The tops of the
shoes were carved with all kinds OF
curious designs and patterns
1t was common thing in the early
| part Of the eighteenth century for a
nan of fashion to spend several hours
daily in the hands of his valet. Among
