A TH0U0IIT FOE MOTHERS.
Only a tired mother pausing when day was
done
To think of thenianyiliitles which from dawn
to set of sun
Had lilted up the ll.Miig moments, taxing the
baud and heart
Hum! ami heartwliich so simply and bravely
had done Ihelr part.
Above In Hie qalet chambers five Utile sleep
ers lay
Whose needs and Joys and sorrows bad filled
up all her day;
Ltttlo wants bad been tended, little griefs
made light,
Little rights defended, and little wrongs set
nslil.
Crowding one on anothcrdhc constant claims
had pi essed,
Till, musing now tu the twilight, a thought
but half confessed
Arose and stirred In her spirit: "Everything
seems so small I
I bad meant to do much for the Mustcr;stirc-
ly this cannot be all."
When In the deepening twilight, fragrant
with evening Halms,
Over her drooping eyelids sleep laid caress
ing palms.
Intothe lands of shadowslier spirit wandeicd
free
Ijind where sometimes earth's children meet
heavenly ministry.
The sound of low, questioning voices fell first
on her spirit ear;
Then a pause of hushed expectation, and
following. Mill and clear.
The silvery tinkle of water as from a vessel
pou.'cd,
And then, tliroii;;h a breathless rapture,l'.oat
ed the wik-c of tint Lord,
raillngln tender e.idence, "Knowyo what I
have done?
Among jouas lie that seivetli am I, the He
loved Sou,
Not being inlnlstcrcd unto lifts to the highest
estate;
Hut III rendering lowliest sen lee, souls grow
divinely gieal."
Slowly the ejellds lifted; the twilight had
deepened In night;
Rnithe Ihoitu'ht that had dimmed Iter spirit
l.nd lied before the Light.
She arose, and ever unfaltering, uplifted by
His Wold,
She walked In lowly seivlee. strong lu "the
joy of the Iionl."
A True Lover of 1646.
i.
The.y say loving has gone out of fash
Ion, sweetheart; then am I sure that
neither you nor I can be In the fashion.
Fors'.ne'y.if love Is out of faslibn, kissing
must likewise lie; nnd that was a kiss
you gave me when you took leave of mo
(and sad leave it was, sweetheart 1) both
my mouth and thine will testify. Your
lips trembled, sweet, and the tears stood
In your eyes, and yet I loved that gentle
qulvcrlm; better far than oven the
brightest sinlle you over gave me, when
llrst I saw you sweetheart, ah, so long
ago I
Do yon remember the first time? You
have blushed at It many times privately,
I'll warrant, for there was neither shoe
nor stocking on your foot. You were
daintily fording a swollen brook when
my horse neighed, nnd heigh, presto!
yotit gow n was dropped, and at sight of
me the blood came surging up into your
cheek.
Sweetheart, that was long ago!
JIany a blush you have blushed, and
many a tear you have 6hed (for which I
beg your pai don on my bended knee),
foi my sake, since then!
Now you have, become the very soul
of my soul. I tell you this, not because
you do not know It well, but because It
pleases me mightily to write It. Soul of
my soul, I'll write it ten thousand times,
with ten thousand new meanings each
time. Janet, can you Imagine, sweet
heart, what pain 'twas to leave you.
and what greater, sweeter pain to see
yott grieve at leaving me? I would not
lose that greater pain for all the joys of
heaven!
Sweet, I'm not blasphemous. I could
not'thlnk of you and blaspheme; more
over, my dear and honored chief would
not allow a blasphemous man to fight in
his great cause.
Janet, do you know the one riyal yott
have? Now be jealous. I love a jealous
woman.
Though jealousy Is Impossible 'tvvlxt
You ami me. Love such as ours closes
the dooron jealousy. You have divined
your rival, sweet, without one word
from me.
I always loved James Graham, Janet,
and now that he has striven with alibis
might to raise an army to avenge the
death of the most blessed martyr Charles,
I love him so Intensely that my pulses
beat and my breath quickens at mere
sound of his name,
inereiore i nave tinsiicatlied my good
sword, which Is keen even as I am, lo
do battle In tho cause. Therefore have
I bidden you good-by, my Janet, and
am sitting on an old drum In our camp
INDEPENDENT"
LEHIGHTON, CARBON COUNTY,
near Dtimbatli, penning these few U nrs
which mnv be an everlasting faiewcll. j
Janet, It Is not a light thing to be a
soldier's love; hard It Is for you, sweet,
and heavy to bear, that I know full
well, but you arc the bravest woman In
the whole world, and did not flinch
though tho tears stood id your eyes when
you kissed me.
Forgive nic, sweetheart, for referring
to that kiss perchance the last yott
may ever give me. Do you remember
the horoscope cast for me? Sweet, If 1
am to die the bloody death foretold to
me, I pray that It may be on the Held
of battle. I spoko to tho noble marquess
concerning this, but hu has a higher,
purer faith than mine, lie said that
the manner of dying mattered but little,
provided that we fell In a true cause.
It seems that he never doubts. I
have doubted everything save only
Janet.
Montrose Is a true lover. He and 1
spend many a night speaking about the
ladles we love best. Perchance his lady
resembles you, for you have much In
common, Inasmuch as you seem each to
be the loveliest, truest, dearest ot your
sex. I do not tell my chief so, but I
know my mistress Is the more lovable
of tho two. Sweet how many eyes have
you? For, when I lay awake at night
under heaven's canopy, each star looks
at me with your eyes. I lay and talk to
them, and tell them how I love ou,and
that I know you never will be mine.
Sweetheart, the thought kills me. 1 am
only as other men, and I long for you
night and day. I try to pray that In
days to come, when I lie under the sods,
you will love some other man, and the
very thought chokes me. Janet, you
vvlll never love another man! Dear, Ills
widowhood without ever a bridal I am
condemning you to.
Yott will ask why these black thoughts
and terrors. Alas! they are only too
well founded. I am no coward, Janet,
and do not dread to die, sword In hand,
fighting to avenge the blood of my mur
dered king. Hut, Janet, Col. Straugh
an Is upon us with 12,000 men. If I
could but die at the side of Montrose!
will you over forget me, Janet?
Alas! that I ever met yott. lint no,
that Is heresy toward my sweet. I love
you with the whole of my heart, dear,
so farewell. I trust this letter to Dun
can, who knows every pass and will
bring these lines to you though the
enemy guard every stone on the road.
If I were but Dunean, to seeyourface
again 1 Mydc.it est heart, I send yott
something In the corner of this letter.
Il'oitld that yott could but give It back
tonic. Yours until death.
John. SPOTTIS'WOODE,
P. S. It forms I am not; In the
f. s'ttou, sweet, fori lind 1 loveyou more
than ever. A tig for the fashion, say I!
My fashion of loving you Is the best and
truest part of me. Shall I lose that?
Never! Kyen as I wiltel hear the call
to arms. I fear you will learn the Issue
of this fight before you receive this.
The little sprig of rosemary you plucked
for me In happier times lies close to my
heart; it speaks to me of you; but there
was no need of rosemary for remem
brance. If I could but forget you, dear
heart, and you would but forget me, I
should go to battle with a lighter spirit;
but my love weighs me down, the sweet
est burden that a man ever carried.
Again, farewell, sweetheart!
II.
Alas! for myforebodlng spirit, Janet,
have you heard of the disaster that has
befallen us? Sweet, I trust that the
news of our defeat has been broken to
y u gently. I could not rest all night
alter my capture for thinking of you,
and how you would be able to bear the
evils that have come upon us. In fancy
have I seen your cheek pale and Your
lins quiver, have seen the glitler of your
eye and the rush of tears that will have
dimmed its brightness. I am costing
you tears again, Janetl I, whose only
joy 'twas to see you smile. And now,
sweetheart, expect no quarter from our
enemies. They are pitiless, nor do 1
c ire to accept pity from any man. Your
pity, Janet, half-sister to your Ioy, 1
yearn for.
Now that I am no longer frcc,I weary
for a 6lght of the bonny heather, for a
whiff of the fresh sca,for a sight of you,
Janet. I tried not to write this last, be
cause It Is not only wearying, It Is too
hopeless, too deep a yearning. I would
die content could I but See your face
once more, but that will never be,
Dream visions of you will come to visit
me; dreams remove bars and blots;
dreams scoff at prison walls; Janet
glliles In to comfort me, whether my
jailors will or no. My dream, Janet,
pale reflection of a beautiful reality!
Janet, I think I hear your crying
when you read. Do not cry, sweet; for
were yott a thousand miles away your
tears would rend my heart. It Is not so
great a loss to lose life when one has
lost all else. Do not weep, my Janet,
for this poor, desperate loycr of yours,
who is penning this. He cares not
greatly to live. To an exile, hunted
down by pitiless foes, what would be the
worth of life? Not worth a tear of yours,
Janet!
And yet I love your tears. Some.
times, when I think of the feelings of
man who has no one to weep ovct liitn,
I count those tears of yours, Janet, as
the brightest gems I could possess.
Sweet, this vvlll be a farewell notc.for
my enemies will surely carry me lo Ed
Inburgh, where I shall meet my doom. If
you could tell the dcliglit and the diead
of writing to you. I am yet witltoti
while I write, and the bare thought fills
me with joy; and then a fear follows
that these poor words of mine, may fall
In other hands but yours. I choke thn
outpourings of mv poor heart, lest other
eyes but yours shall read them. "My
sacred love to be profaned by being laid
open to scoffers" Is a thought that fills
me with dread. Tho ribald ran llnd a

Hut, of a surety, I shall llnd some means

haps you may hear concerning me from
my enemies, who make a loud boast
that they have crushed and taken pris
oner Montrose and Ins army. There
fore, sweet, 'tis only farewell for a few
days that I am writing now. Only,
Janet, do not flatter yourself with false
hopes. There will be no pordon for me.
Nor do I desire one. Montrose doomed
to die, I could not wish to live.

P. SI The sun Is shining brightly to
day, Jai e , and I long for you with u
consuming longing. A little, guest of
wind, full of 'he fragrance of the heath
er, has brought back to mo mcmoiles of
you. The glad days we spent together
among the heather, sweet. It maddens
me to think nf them. How careless
and happj wo were, and how bonny you
were. Janet, thoughts of joy, when
the soiil Is overcast by sorrow, are like
the tortures of hell.
I III.
,,Jalct," In reviewing those graces In
rpniBiat I had loved I had often been
n dWubt which manner of yours pleased
me best. 1 doubt no longer, for I know
now that I loved your manner most
when you braved bolts and bars and the
tyranny of my enemies (whom I fully
forgive, even as I pray tho Lord may
forglvo me), and the churlishness of
rude jailers, so, that you could kiss me
good-bye, sweet.
The joy of It! Janet, you cannot
imagine what this glimpse of you has
been to me.
Sure nm I that there never breathed
so proud a condemned felon, nor one
with half so much reason to rejoice.
Since Janet her fears forgotten came
to me In my prison cell, what matter
fetters or aught that my enemies can
urge agtolnst me? If all that whlc;h
there malice can invent be chronicled
against me, no one will believe aught
that Is'bad, since Janet kissed me.
When you entered my cell perchance
you observed that I was tongue-tied,
that no words could force their way to
my lips, that my eyes seemed dazed and
could not realize that It was my dearest
mistress standing before. You were so
pale and wan, love, your pitiful face has
hrtntcd me even since.
Sweet, I am to dte; you know It. I
svvoar to you that death has lost its bit
terness since I have seen you. You
cannot imaglno how the thought tl at I
should never see you more has pursued
me. Night and day, since the disas
trous day when we lost all. I have
yearned for a glimpse of you, and yes
terday you gave It to me.
Sweetheart, who was to have been
my wife, If it were not for you I should
feel right glad that my short span of
life is nearly over. Twenty-six ycais
only have I lived, and have already seen
the death of all I cared for.
I fear no death, not even that of the
scaffold, but I fear to carry about with
me into the next world that great unas
suaged desire the desire for you Janet.
I cannot shake It off; it overpowers me.
Yea, on the very judgment day 'twill
be yott only that will bring peaeo to my
tortured soul! lira ve heart! You have
suffered so much. so much for me that I
scarce like to lay another sufferance on
you no need to urge you by telling you
'tis the last. I know you well, Janet,
and, knowing you, scarce, hesitate to
crave this last favoi, which, If It bo not
too great, I pray you grant.
Janet, will you see. mo die?
Not In the midst of the crowd, sweet,
but In some secluded spot, whence, when
my last moment comes, you would mur
mur through your tears, "Dear soul!
God glyc him rest. He loved me well."
To tell you how 1 love you were Im
possible; to make you understand what
you have been to me In sweetness and
tenderness since the first days my eyes
fell on you, equally impossible, and to
bid good-by most Impossible of the
three. For though my pen ceasu writ
ing, I shall not cease bidding you f.m
well until tho ax severs my head
'from my body (If, li d e ', I
am favored so much as to die by steel
In lieu of rope, though It matters bu
little to me); even then a long good-by
to Janet will be found on my lips by
those who can read such language.
Even now I have omitted to give you
thanks for your sweet pleadings in my
behalf. Twas great grief to think that
you Should thus humble yourself for
my worthless life's sake; yet was it
grief mingled with sweetness, for had
you not braved al! for me? And noth
ing can humiliate you, sweetheart; not
even the churlish dental which the boon
you craved met with fiom my enemy;
but I thank you again for your courage.
I love you for It; 'twas like you.
The little sprig of rosemary, Janet,
still lies close to my heart. There will
it lie until my heart beat no more;
and then, when I am dead, tuetlilnks It
must blossom out afresh from my graye.
Has It not a lovo token from you? Can
such love as ours, or Its emblems ever
die? It must be everlasting. A little
stir in my cell tells me they are coming
to announce that I must soon make
ready to die that death will claim me
from Janet.
If I but die as nobly asMontrosedied,
so that my dearest heart, In days to
come (when she can bear to talk of It),
will narrate.her voice thrilled with pain,
and I hope a little pride, how her true
lover met his death! You will be quite
old then, Janet, your soft brown lulrsll;
vered, your eyes dimmed, your voice
qiuvering, and I shall be everlasting
SI. 00 a
If
young, Janet, goSie to my death In the
fullness of my years. I wonder shall I
have long to wait for you, Janet?
Oh! Janet, I must now write my last,
last words to you. I feel that I havo
not lived my life quite In vain, since It
has been given to me to gain your love.
My whole being gives vou tinuttcrable
thanks for the Inestimable boon of your,
affection. You have sweetened my life
Janet, have even robbed death of lis
bitterness. And I love you with my
whole heart, nor havo I ever loved an
other maid hut you.
I can scarce write the word 'farewell.'
Methlnks It should scorch the paper.
See, sweetheart, I have kissed this just
here. Lay yotir warm Hps on the spot
when mine are cold. Alas! that they
should bo Irresponsive to yours.
Janet, there Is scarce a moment now.
I must e'en hasten to finish, so that this
may reach vou In time. I pray that
you may get it.
Thero Is no sadder thing than a fare
well lu all this sad world of ours. All
earthly regrets are gone, save only my
regret for Janet, and Good-by,
sweetheart. Fare thee well. j. b.
The Lady Jane being troth plighted
to tho young and gallant J. Spottls
woode, who was one of the noblo
Marques of Montrose's most devoted fol
lowers, being In sore distress at news of
her lover's Imprisonment and sentence
to death, herself craved Ihe boon of his
life from his enemies, which was, how
ever, denied her.
lly dint of courage and resolution she
penetrated the walls of his prison and
came alone, the night before his execu

WEISSPORTER'S SUNDAY RIDE.
To say it .vas a success would be put
ting it rather mild, for It was grand.
Roll on, our wheels so soft and still.
Our petted steeds, more prized than gold,
FI through valley, skim o'er tho hill,
Our run complete, ere day grows old.
Thousands now aro wrapped In slumber
Went late to rest, will lato tir'sej
How few arc they among the number
Who know the vvorlli of exercise.
If they would master thee, my wheel.
And lide a mount good, strong mid light,
What heaulles would this laud reveal,
What charming scenes, what pure delight.
Rolling here 'neath nature's bovvers,
They'd hear Hie hlrds so sweetly sing;
Hi cathe air perfumed vvi:h vv lid spring Howe's
llirtake of Jo) a a w heel can bring,
Would mount tho hills wllh ease anil grace,
On summit high the landscape view;
Coast down the slope with rapid puce
Oalu health ami strength and life renew.
Feast ejes on farms where plenty dwells,
Flue blooded slock, horse, kino and sheep,
iSrning In valleys and shady dells,
With grand background of mountain steep.
Sec beauties In each changing scene,
If fertile Held or patch of brier;
A noisy mill turned by a slieaiu
Somo village church, hcav c ii-polntlng spire.
Then back for home with appetite,
A morning plunge, a wholesome meal,
To work wllh mind so clear and bright,
They'd join w lib ine to pral.se the vv heel.
Yes, ere the sun had dispelled the
sparkling dew at crimson dawn, that
perfect, lovely day, twelve cyclists met
