MOTHERS PLACE.
A MOTHER SONG.

Soft sleeps the earth in moonlight
blest;
Soft sleeps the bough above the nest;
Ger lonely depths the whippoorwill
Breathes one faint note and all is still.
Sleep, little darling; night is long
Sleep while sing thy cradle song.
About thy dream the dropping flower
Blows her sweet breath from hour to
hour,
And while the great moon spreads her
wings,
While low, while far, the dear earth
swings,
Sleep, little darling all night long
The winds shall sing thy slumber song.
Powers of the earth and of the air
Shall have thee in their mother-care,
And hosts of heaven, together rest.
Bent over thee, their last their best.
Hush, little darling from the deep
Some mighty wing shall fan thy sleep.

"Findin's keepin'," said Ralph, who
had heard the big boys say something
like that. Besides, nobody would
come back to look for a penny. If
mamma was at home we'd show her,

You may be sure Ralph was very
glad he waited, and SO was his mamma.

In one of the model schools in our
town a first-grade teacher was trying to
impress on the young minds the vari-
Gus uses of milk. She wanted some
bright genius to tell how the farmer
fed the surplus milk to the pigs. Lead
ing up to this, she asked this question:
"Now, children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he needs,
and uses what milk he wants for his
family, what does he do with the milk
that still remains?" Dead silence fol-
lowed for a moment, and then one lit
tie hand waved frantically. The teach
err smiled and said, "Well, James," "He
pours it back into the cow" piped jam

INVITATIONS.
BY Sallie Campbell.

By Sallie Campbell.
Trudie Brooke was going home from
Sabbath-school. She was not pleased.
Nobody told me that I was welcome
They ought to tell that to strangers
I don't feel like ever going there
again"
She thought of the girls who had
been in the class with her.
'"They looked as if they were very
nice indeed" said Trudie regretfully;
but not one of them said she hoped
I'd come next time. 1 think they might
have. And the teacher didn't say it.
Well, If they don't want me, 1 suppose
1 could just stay away"
AS Trudie walked along she sighed
deeply and felt homesick to be back in
the dear class where she had belong
ed" for so many happy Sabbaths.
Il was in my own right place then,"
she told herself, "but now I haven't any
place; nobody cares about me in this
school,"
A big lump was coming in Trudie's
throat. She was afraid that she might
cry "in the middle of the street." She
looked hastily around to see who would
see her if she did.
Not far before her was a girl of
about her own size. Trudie remember
ed that they had sat beside each other
on the back seat in the Sabbath-sch DOL
room at first, and that the superinten-
dent had come to speak to them both.
She was a stranger, too" thought
Trudie. 81 just wonder if anybody in
Vted her to join regularly! It's a
Shame If they didn't; because she looks
poor"
The girls dress was faded and old
fashioned: her coat was too small, and
her hat
well, it's hat, and that's ALL" said
IrHdie. "There isn't one bit of orna-
ment on it. She is the very kind that
ought to be asked to come again, and
don't believe she was. Oh, dear, 1
WISH L were a real member; 1 would

The girl ahead had reached the cor
ner and was turning down. Trudie
could stand it no longer. She waved
ner hand to her as she looked back for
minute, and the girl stopped.

you?" said Trudie.

A CHILD'S FAITH.

The tiny clouds that hurry past
Shall never worry me;
I know the stars are sure and fast,
Whatever clouds there be.
The shadows ever come and go,
But sun and stars are true, 1 know.
The tiny troubles in my sky
Shall scatter in a day.
/ shall not stop to question why
The stars have hidden away;
For very soon the summer blue
Shall shine the clouds and darknes

THE ANCESTRY OF THE AMERICAN
EAGLE.
EAGLE.

The characteristic head and beak, the
cleaning eyes and fierce talons of the
eagle, make it favorite secular en-
blem, and in its passage from land to
land parallel to the migration of sym
bols is forcibly suggested. With offer
ings of Peace and War, it dominates
the arms of the United States of Ameri-
ca, and is a forceful adjunct to the es-
cutcheons of several Englishmen. 1t
first appeared in the dual-headed form
on the Phrygian coins and later in Asia
Minor. From thence it travelled 60
Flanders, and also replaced the single
headed emblem of the Holy Roman En-
pire. The Austrians borrowed it, and
since the time of Ivan III, it has been
