In a notice of prminent individuals in Wash ington, in the Capital we find the following reference to our old friend SHAW : " 'Age always proceeds beauty,' and Nestor Shaw takes the lead. His excellence consists in attending to his own affairs without inter fering with those of other-people, and lie has made money by it. Although the nesfor of the Row. he is a young man and vigorous. He goes armed and is dangerous—to get ahead of.'' The picture is well drawn, and will be readily rocognized as truthful and correct by the gentleman's many friends here. The Name of Mother. There arc words that speak of quenchless love, Which burns in hearts we cherish, And accents that tell of friendship proved, That will never blight or perish, There are soft words murmured by dear, dear lips Far richer than any other. But the sweetest word that the ear hath heard Is the blessed name of mother. Oh, magic word! may it never die From the lips that love to speak it; Nor melt away from the trusting hearts That ever would break to keep it. Was there ever a name that lived like this? Will there ever be such another? The angels have reared in heaven a shrine For the holy name of Mother. ST.
