."NO MOTHER."

The other day when a stern and dignified judge ordered a prisoner to stand up and offer objections, if he had any, to being sentenced to prison tor a long term of years, the prisoner rose and said

441

never had a mother to shed tears over me!" His words entered erery heart in the great oourt-roora. He was a rough, bad man, in the middle age of life, and he had been convicted of burglary, but erery heart softened towards him as bis lips uttered the words. He felt what he said, and tears rolled down his cheeka as he continued:

If I had had a mother's lore and a mother's tears—some one to piead with me and pray for me—I should not be what I am

Ah! that's it! There is a power in a mother's love, and in her tears, and

Sleadings,to

hardly bo realized. God pity the lad who has no home to go to—no mother to whom he can tell his troubles and axieb—no one to put her arms around nis neck and whisper to Heaven to keep him in right paths! There is no heart like a mother's heart. Her child mav wound it again and again, and pierce it with a sword, and yet ii has only love and affection for him. It is the first to excuse his faults—the last to condemn. There is no love like a mother's lovo— so enduring, so tender, so Ikr-reaching. it is lavished upon the child in the cradle, and it follows the boy over the ooean. It calls up the wanderer the lirst thing in the morning, and it stays with him until sleep closes the eyes. When a mother's love for her offspring dies out he may be called too wicked and too wretched to live among men.

There are no tears like a mother's tears. Nothing can so lighten the sorrow of a child—nothing so restrain a mind wandering into evil paths. The man who looks oack over his childhood and youth regrets nothing so much as hat, ho brought tears of sorrow and sadness to a fond mother's eyes. Every tear a mother sheds over a wayward child is recorded hi tho great book, and he shall answer for it.

There are uo prayers like a mother's prayers—none that reach so far and are so earnest. The wanderer on foreign shores feels this in his heart, and be is thankful to heaven that he can feel it. Kneeling at her bedrid* and asking the angels to guide the feet of her children in right paths, who doubts that a mother's prayers are heard in heaven?

I never had a irtother to shed tears over me I" Tho words of the robber might be the words of many evil doers.. ''No mother" means aching hearts, burdened minds, deadly woes, and paths which lead d»wn to'ruin. Heaven be kind to the lad who must battle the world without a mother's tears, prayers, and boundloss love to give him courage!

THE OB 10IN OF WOMAN. In tho third volume of his great history of the Native Races of the Pacific States, Mr. Hubert II. Bancroft gives the following account of the beginning of tho human race on earth as held by them:

Two great beings mado the world, lllled it with grass and trees, and gave form, life, and motion to the various animals that people land and sea. When this work was done, the eldor creator went up to heaven and left his brother alone on the earth. The solitary god left below made to himself men-chil-ilron, that ho should not bo utterly ••onipanlonlesw. Fortunately also, about this time, the moon came to that neighborhood she was verv fteir in her delicate beauty, very kind hearted, and she tilled tho place of a mother to the monohlldren that tho god had created. She watched over them, and guarded them Irom all evil things of the niaht.atanding ut the door of their lodge. The children grew up very happily.Taylng great store by the love with which their guardians regarded them but there came a da" whei

„jen their hearts saddened, in whic they hegan to notice that neither their god-creator nor their moon fofttor-moth-«»r gave thorn any longer undivided affection and care, but that instead, the two great one* seemed to waste much precious lovo npon each other. The tall gfld began to steal out of their lodge at dusk, and sjend tho night watchesYn the company of the white-haired moon, who, on the other hand, did not seom on thes«» occasions to pay such absorbing attention to her sentinel duty as at other times. The children grew sad at this, auil bitter at the heart with a boyish Jealousy. But worso was yet to come one night they were awakened by a querulous wailing In their lodge, itttd the earliest dawn showed them a Grange thing, which they afterward («me (o know was a new-born infant, Iving in the door-way. The god and the moon hail elopod together their tire at One had reUtrned to his place bevond the rether, and that he might not lie separated from his paramour, no had appointed her at the same time a lodge inXho great drmament whoro she may v*S Ik» seen, with hor gauxy robe and shining silver hair, treading celestial paths. The child left on the earth was a girl. She grow up very sort, very »bright, very beautiful, like her mother, but like her mother also, oh! no fickle and fmil! She was first of womankind, from her ai! other women descended, and froai the moon and as the moon changes, so thev all change, say the philosophers of Lo* Angeles.

vFEUdLS SOCIETY.

It Is better for you to pass an evening once or twice in a lady's drawing-room, oren though the conversation is slow, and vou know the gtrlN song by heart, than In a club, a tavern, or a pit of a theatre. All amusements of youth to which virtuoui women are not admitted, relv on it, are deleterious iu their nature. All men who avoid female society have dull perceptions, and are stupid, or have gross tastea, ana revolt against what is pure. Your club ewMgerens, who are sacking the butts of billiardoues all night, call female society insipid. Poetry i% uninspiring to a Jockey: beau IT HAS no charms FOR a blind man music' does not please a poor beast who doe# not know one tune from another: bat as a pur# epicure Is hardly Urea of water-sauews, and brown bread and butter, 1 |nto*t 1 can ait for a whole night talking with a well regulated kindly woman about lw»r girl Fanny or hor boy Frank, and like the evening entertainment.

HOW A WOMAN BUYS MEAT. When a woman enters a butcher-shop to select a piece of meat for dinner, she h— her mind made up to take mutton roast. Therefore, wnen the butcher rubs his hands ana asks her what she will hare, she promtly replies: take some of that mnt-—"

She stops there. Her eye baa eaught sight of a ham, and she suddenly decides to take bam.

Is that nice ham she inquires.

Best ham I ever saw, Madame. How much?"

Well, you may give me three p— Well, I aon't know either. My busband was sa^Atig he'd like dome sausages. Have you any real nice sausages?"

Plenty, madame. Now, then, how much sausage will you have ,.

It's pork sausage, is it?"

was Just wondering if a veal potpie wouldn't suit him better," she answered. "You have veal, I suppose

and prayers, whose influence

Oh, yes, Madame. Here's a splendid bit of veal—as good apiece as ever I SAW."

Yee, that looks like nice veal," she says, lifting it up. And you will take it?"

Let's see!" she muses. Y—no, I guess not. I guess I'd better take pork chops."

Nice chops—how much ho asks.

One of those slices will weigh a pound, I suppose

About a pound, Madame."

And it was a young hog?"

Quite young, Madame."

And you'll cut the rind off?"

Yes, Madame."

Well," she says, heaving a deep sigh,

HOW TO MAKE MARRIAGE BE A UTIFUL. [John Weiss, in Old and New.]

In the first place, let people defer to laws of health, of sanity, of hereditary soundness let them obey restrictions, consult wholesome reasons, respect the limits which have been set up by the common sense of nature. Mutual ignorance on these points is filling marriage with unnecessary evils they not on spoil the physical well-being of a family, but spoil the disposition. Let the work in every house be reduced, by a reduction of ambitions, till all the parlors, all the tables, all the clothes, exactly represent the current condition ot every family not a bracket nor a ribbon for exaggeration not a single room for parade neither sewing, washing, eating, scouring, company-giving, beyena actual needs, and all done by the least elaborate methods. Then, in the second place, reduce to the lowest possible point the disturbances which arise from ignorance and vanity, from artificial training you simply liberate marriage for the more effective discharge of its spiritual purpose. The men and women might still suspect that the£ were ill-matea, till life itself prppouueed the bans. Teach children that marria&e only prolongs their school hours into the dignity of sterner discipline and less perishable attachments. Warn them against the physical ei rors which so sap the will thai it is humbled and enslaved by annoyances which health and freshness laughs at, and teach them simplicity make vulgar habits and ambitions appear odious to them ply their imaginations with austere and noble forms tempt them to fall in love, first, with spiritual beauty, whoso service makes tnem truly tree then they will be better prepared to discover that marriage with-holds felicity until It has been learned.

A CURB TOR EARACHE.—There is scarcely any ache to which children are subject so bad to bear, and difficult to curb, as tho earache. Bht there is a remedy never known' to fall. Take a bit of cotton-batting, put upon it a pinch of black pepper, gatnor it up and tie it, dip in sweet oil and Insert Into the ear. Put a flannel bandage over the head to keep it warm. It will give immediate relief.

NO EXCUSE FOR BEINO SICK'. No person can use Boschee's German Syrup without getting immediate relief and cure. We nave the first case of toughs, Colds or Consumption, or any .Iscase of the Throat and Lungs, yot to hear from that has not been cured. We havo distributed evorv* ve«tr for three ears ovor 250,000 saiijple bottles by iruggists In all parts of the t'nlted Stales. No other Manufacturer of Medicine ever gave their preparations such a test as this. Go to your Druggist and got a bottle for 75 cents and try it—two doses will relieve you.
