WEATHERINGToNs TRIBUTE TO
MOTHER

He never knew her. His coming
into the world was the signal for her
going forth. A few brief days she
clasped him to her heart-the heart
whose last beats were mostly for him
then ere the baby eyes had learned
TO look with recognition upoR her,
she kissed them closed-and closed
her own forever
Vaguely through life he missed her.
Times, as a boy, when the night wind
moaned outside, and within -antastic
figures and shapes of fear foI med in
the darkness, he covered beneath the
covers of his cot and wept passion
ately for something that he wanted
but could not name, though afterward
he knew that the thing he craved was
sheltering mother love. His play
mates had ever a source of unfailing
love and sympathy, from which he
saw them copiously and continuously
draw: and he felt that the Fates had
left something out of the scheme of
his life, and in the midst of the buoy
ancy of youth his eyes would grow
wistful and his heart be sad.
Then a man-and sometimes, after
the struggle of the day, when came
the quiet hOur-musing over the flood
and fell, or gazing far out into the sad
and solemn sea-he would dream of
the land beyond the setting sun-ot
the mystic glories which eye hath not
seen-and of her who loved him first!
Aye, others came and crept into his
heart, and filled il with a love that
was almost pain; but in it's innermost
holy of holes he kept ever a chamber
inviolate for the mother he never
knew.
And it pleased HIm. to believe that
though he saw her not, she walked
through life beside him, and many
times made her presence felt in sweet
suggestion of kindly deed, in silent
STRINGS of the heart that turned him
from temptations way. And whatever.
of good or gentleness or generous i'm
pulse ever blossomed in his life, to
her he gave the credit.
Therefore, on Mothers Day, when
thousands have the blessed privilege
of laying the votive offering of their
love at living mothers feet, and other
thousands live over tender memories
of days when mothers walked by their
side-he wears the white flower for
her-for her to whom he believes his
nature owes its best.
So, in the dusk of this dear day,
while the flower is fading, though it's
fragrance fingers still, he writes these
lines for the sake of those who, like
him, knew mother only in the land of
reams.-Lakeland News.
