NO. ONE LIKE A MOTHER.

"HERE II no one like q mother
In this world Of pain and woe.
There II no one like your
mother. '
It's no matter where you 90.
Il you're tired and discouraged
And you've drunk the bitter cup.
Just 60 back again to mother.
She will kiss and cheer you up.
There was no one like our mother
In our young and tender years.
None could help US in our troubles:
None could kiss away our tears.
There was no one like our mother
When our evening prayers were said
That could tuck the covers round "
When she put US on to bed.
II amidst the northern ice fields
Or on Africa's burning sands.
Far away from home. q stranger
In some distant. faroff lands:
All alone and near forsaken.
You have lost your nerve and will,
Then go back to home and mother.
She will help and love you still.
All, there's no one like a mother
Here on earth or any land!
None can give q cup Of water
Like a mothers loving hand.
And when life II almost over.
All around II death and gloom,
None can say "Goodby: like mother
Az you journey to the tomb.

Some women attain o graceful old
age by adopting the following rules:
Forget disagreeable things, keep
your nerves well in hand and inflict
them on no one; master the art of
saying pleasant things; do not expect
too much from your friends; make
whatever work comes to you con-
genial; retain your illusions and don't
believe all the world wicked and un-
kind; relieve the miserable and SYM
pathize with the sorrowful. These
few rules will at least, make the world
brighter to yourself and others.

E. w. BALFE.
l dreamt that dwealt in marble halls,
With vassals and seris by my side;
And of all who assembled within those
walls,
That was the hope and the pride.
l had riches too great to count,
Could boast Of high ancestral name,
But l also dreamt, which pleased me
most,
That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me. you loved me, still
the same.
l dreamt that suitors sought my hand,
That knights upon bended knee,
And with vows no maiden heart could
Withstand
They pledged their faith to me.
And ] dreamt that one Of that noble
band
Came forth my hand to claim,
But also dreamt, which charmed me
most,
That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me, you loved me, still
the same.

Leading souls to pray;
Chanting heavens melody,
On white winged angels sent.
