Some Evening RsvsrIss.

dude masher, remarking of an old
schoolmate of hers, that he is a
good boy, but tied to his old
mothers apron strings, and is of
no good ON earth Will not the
boy come out ahead if he supports
and cares for the mother?" Come
out ahead? Well, of course he
will. A girl who would make such
a remark is not worthy to blacken
the shoes of a boy who is kind to
his old mother. Such. girl has
no more heart in her than a turnip,
and is only fit-oh, she isn't fit
for anything. She ought to be
taken across the knee of her own
mother until she thinks it is about
the middle of August. The meanest
men in the world are those who
have allowed themselves to drift
away from their mothers and for
get all about them. The best and
bravest men in the world are those
who have never been so proud as
when doing something pleasant for
the kind old mother. The most
heartless thing in the world is for
a person to make such a remark
as that quoted above about a
young man who is proud of his
mother, and loves her so that a.
tear in her eye is like a drop of
melted lead ON his heart. The
young man who heard of such a re-
mark being made about his rela-
tions with his mother no doubt felt
that he had rather not have heard
of the remark, but it is lucky that
he did, if he thought he had any
affection for that girl. She would
not have said it in his hearing.
W I,ifol,- -r,l-vvvp -UnaC sne rs a nypOcrlte
and two-sided person. If he
married that girl he would have a
little hell of his own. Such girl
would make him wish he had never
seen any woman except his own
mother. No matter how close the
relation between a mother and son,
day is liable to come when the
son will find girl that he will
marry, and though he may not
think less of his mother, he will
not have quite so much time to
devote to her, but if he is such a
son as the one above mentioned,
there will never. be a day but he
will think of something that can be
done for his mother. His good
wife, if she is good, will join him
in anything that can make the
mother who bore him happy. And
a day will come when the mother
will lay down her knitting, and
take off her spectacles, and her
burden of life will be laid down,
and her last prayer will be for the
son who has been joked by a fool
girl for being tied to her apron
strings, and she will close her
eyes in death with the feeling that
of all Gods best gifts to mother,
dutiful, loving son is the greatest.
Those sons who have followed the
counsels of a loving mother, and
who have, perchance, followed the
remains of that mother to the
grave and heard the cold clay rattle
on her last resting place, and who
have gone away from the scene
with hearts bowed and broken, will
never, in their choice OF partner
for life, take one who has ever
spoken unkindIy of a son who is
kind to his mother. No boy need
ever be ashamed to be called his
mothers boy, and no person with
a soul to save will ever make
trihing remarks on so sacred a
matter as the love of a son for a
good mother.
