HIS MOTHER'S SONGS.
Beneath the hot snidsnmaMr saa
The men hat! starched all day r
And now besides a rippling stream.
Upon the grass they iar.
Tiring of games and tile tests.
As swept the boors along.
They called to one who mused apart,
' Come, friend, give as a aung "
"I fear I cannot please, " be said ;
"The only songs I know
Are those ray mother used te slag
For me long years ago."
one of those, " a rough ratoe cried, -
"There's none hot the tree mea hare ;
To every ssother's son of ua
A mother1! songs are dcai. " -
Then sweetly rose tha singer's voice
Amid unwonted calm. .
"Am I a soldier of the cross
A follower of tha lamb ?
"And shall I fear to own his ecus?
The very stream was stilled.
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were flBed.
Ended this song, the linger said.
As to his feet be rose,
"Thanks to you all, my friends : gaud night,
God grant us sweet repose.
"Sing as one more. " the Captain begged ;
The soldier bent his head,
Then glancing 'round withsoaUlng lips.
Too d j..ln with me, " he said. (
"We'll sing this old familiar air.
Sweet aa the bugle ealL
"AH hail the power of Jesus' nasae,
Let angels prostrate falL " '
Ah ! wondrous wss the old tuae's spell.
As on the 9inger sang,
Alan after man fell into line,
And loud the voices rang 1 .
The songs are done, the camp is still,
Sauxht but the stream is award ;
But ah ! tha depths of every saul
By those old hymn, arc atlrred.
And up from many a bearded lip.
In whispers soft and low.
Rises the prayer the mother taught

OLD AUNT ZERUIAH.
BT AMY RANDOLPH.
" Have the roses come, Bella 7
" Yes, mamma, and they are al! arrang
ed. See how lovely they look !
Isabella Ives lifted from the centre of
an aesthetically arranged! lunch table,
with covers laid for eight, a silvered bas
ket draped with cream white silk folds,
in which was disposed a fragrant mass of
the most delirious white roses and haif
open buds.
Mrs. Ives smiled approvingly.
" You have exquisite taste, dear, said
she. "The table looks much. Tike a
dream."
Nor was Mrs. Ives's jtsJgtnent to be
controverted. All down the centre ex
tended a mass of feathery maiden-hair
r ferns ; the roval basket of roses kept
guard in the middle, and at each end a
candelabra of porcelain-shaded candles
was wreathed in smilax. Cut glass and
silver, decorated china and glistening
damask were arranged to the- best advan
tage, and Miss Ives herself, fluttering
lightly to and fro, was perhaps the pret
ties object in the room. 'U-
At the extreme end of the table, a lit
tle old woman in a ginger-colored meri
no gown, a brown-ribboned cap, and a
pairof steel-rimmed spectacles, was peer
ing at the curioa little tinted depressions
in the oyster plates. This was Mrs.
Zemiah Paxton, commonly called Aunt
Kuey.
" Well, I ncrcr r said Annt Ruey, with
a long breath. M You city folks don't
manage things a bit as we do down irf
Kephank. bad lunch party, week
afore I come np here. Miss Pewey and
Patience Cook, and the minister's folks,
and the neighbors, said I done things up
brown. We had rig biscuit and apple
sauce, and cold chicken and pickles, and
a loaf o' 'lection cakes, anil a bunch o'
datfydowndillies in a broken-spouted
blue pitcher, fixed so that the flowers hid
the cracks. 4. ml- here you're going to
have six seven different sorts o' vituals,
and two nigger men to wait, and the table
cleared and sot over agin betwixt every
sort o' food, and the gas and candlesticks
lighted, too, as il the Lord's sunshine
warnt good enough for you V
"It's the style, Annt Ruey," said Bella,
Uughing merrily.
" It ain't the way I was brought up,"
said Mrs. Paxton.
Mrs. Ives glanced fretfully at her hus
band's old aunt as she squeaked out of
the room in a pair of substantial leather
boots.
" Bella," said she, "doesf.Yunt Zeruiab
absolutely persist in being present at this
lunch party 7" '
" I'm afraid she does, mamma."
" Bat it's quite impotisible."
" Why is it impoMeible, mamma?"
" She doesn't knew a single one of the
guests."
" Oh, well, she will like the novelty of
the thing :" pleaded Bella.
" Bella," groaned Mrs. Ives. " I shall
die in mortification." .
" Mamma, why 7"
, " That terrible old relic of the past ages
sitting at my table in her hideous brown
gown and cap, offering Mrs. Stitytus Sey
mour s receipt for making applebutter,
telling Mfcs Buckingham of the house
cleaning bee at the minister's- compar
ing our style of living with that of Mrs.
Deacon Duckley !
" Mamma, don't mind it," said Bella,
cheerily. She's darling old lady, and
I like her, and she has read a great
deal, and she is exceedingly intelli
gent." " Intelligent r groaned Mrs. Ives.
There isn't subject but that she will
express her opinion upon. I shall be in
misery the whole time. Dear Bella, do
persuade her that she has got a head
ache, or a sore throat, or something or
give her an anodyne in a cup of tea
that will make her sleep until the whole
thing is over."
Bella laughed lightly and went on ar
ranging her roses. Mrs. Ives spoke to a
waiter from the great Broadway caterer,
wno had just brought in box of hand
painted mentu, and neither of them knew
that Aunt Ruey, stopping in the ball to
tie a recalcitrant shoe-lace had overheard
the brief colloquy between mother and
daughter.
"So they don't want me," said Annt
Ruey to herself. " Well, I suspicioned as
much before. Bella is a dear, sweet lit
tle girl, bat Isaac's wife would be glad if
I was gone home. And, trpon the whole
I guess I'll oblige her. I ain't goin' to
obtrude myself on nobody."
Bella and Mrs. Ives were amazed at
the old lady's sudden resolve.
" Well, if jrou really mtuf go at once "
said Mrs. Ives, smoothly.
" But, Annt Ruey," coaxed Bella, " yoa
wont see Miss Buckingham's Paris gown,
AT
til
nor Miss Scribbleton, who has written a
book T
" I guess I can survive without," said
Annt Ruey. I'd like to have seen your
beau, Ruey, bat p'raps you'll bring him
down to the farm some time.
Bella blushed. Mrs. Ives grew very
paie.
" The sooner she's off the premises the
better," marts a red she. " Bella's bai,
indeed ! llow frightfully vulgar !"
Aunt Zeruiab. was in full preparation
for spring cleaning down at Nephank,
when an unexpected visitor arrived at
Salt Marsh farm Isabella Ives I
" I've come to make yoa a visit, Aunt
Raey," said she, striving to smile, al
though her eyes were brimming over
with tears.
" And you're as welcome as flowers
in May, my dear," said the good old wo
mar. " We have broken np housekeeping,"
hurriedly went on Isabella. " Papa has
failed."
" I thought it would come to that," in
terjected Aunt Ruey.
" He bus accepted a clerkship is a bank
in Denver." said Bella. " He is to send
for us as soon as he can make a borne.
Mamma has gone to ber sister. I didn't
go there because Aunt Dorothy said she
couldn't have the whote family on her
hands."
" Well," said A unt Euey, " th ia 'ere is a
big, roomy house, and the whole family
would be kindly welcome here, if they
chose to come."
Bella kissed her aunt
How good you are V said she. " Oh,
I was sure of you. But, Aunt Ruey, I
want you to find me something to do. I
must earn some money for myself. I can't
be a drone in life's hive any longer."
Aunt Ru'y wiinkled her forehead.
" There's the district school," said she ,
"but Miles Parker's niece teaches it.
Lucy Jones goes out tailoring, Mrs. Peet
hasfi loom, and weaves ra;i carpet. The
minister's sister gives lesnons in wax
Mowers, and Bessie Artmtuer is a music
teacher."
Bella's face fell.
"Then there is no vacant nook for
me," sighed she.
" UnUtt," said Aunt Ruey.
Bella looked eagerly up-
I danno how it will work," said she ;
" but I was thinkin some o' gettin' a hir
ed girl-"
" Oh, Aunt Ruey, let w be your hired
girl r burst out Bella.
"And keepin a boarder or two," added
Aunt Ruey. "There's a New York ar
tist has writito the postmaster that he
wants to come in August for the sea
views ; and there's the minister's cousin.
with her three sickly children ; and I
know a Philadelphia school ma'am who
would be glad to. board here."
Bella clapped her hands.
- Spkadid r cried ah. " And I may
be the hired help, Aunt Ruey, mayn't
IT"
" La, child,"aid the old lady, " yoa
couldn't do no heavy work. You're as
slim as a sapling, and them little white
hands of yours ain't fit for scrubbin' and
soft soap makin'."
" But," exclaimed Bella, " I can cook !
I've taken lessons. And I am sure I
could be chambermaid and waitress.
Have in a woman now and then for the
heavy work, and let me be the hired
girl. Please do, Annt Ruey."
" I do b'lieve," said Mrs. Paxton, " that
you'd tease the very specks off my nose
if you was to try. Well, I s'potte you'll
have to have your own way. But look
here, Isabella, I don't wore'n half un
derstand all this. What's become of your
beau 7"
Bella's long Uahes drooped.
" I never had a beau," said she, in a
scarcely audible voice.
"The young man that used to come
and! tire yoa when I was a visitin' you
op in the city," inquisitively demanded
Mrs. Paxton " where's he?"
"Th.it was nothing," said Bella, with
quivering lips. "Oh, Aant Ruey! how
like a dream all those past and gone
things seem. He used to call occasional
ly, but he never proposed to me. I saw
bis name in the parser the other day
married to a Southern lady at Cape
May."
"There, there, dear, dont cry," said
Aunt Zeruiah, patting her niece's satin
brown braids of hair. " Of course you're
sort o' down spirited, lea via all them
fashionable doin's behind yoa 1 But
you'll get over it, never fear!"
Ami the good soul " made believe," as
tlie children say, that slit credited those
one or two light tears of Bella's to regTet
for the handsome house on Lexington
Avenue, the fiveo'clock teas, the orchid
shows, and the rosebud bAlls. Verily,
there were the instincts of true ladyhood
about Mrs. Paxton, in spite of dyed
gowns and bad grammar. Besides, had
she not forgotten and forgiven being call
ed "a terrible relic of the past ages" by
Mrs. Ives herself T Gray-haired old la
dies have feeling as well as young ones
and the words had stung Aunt Zerui
ab at the time.
Bella Ives proved the most efficient of
adjutants to Mrs. Paxton, and richly earn
ed the wages that that lady most scrupu
lously ipaid her. The minister's sister,
with her three sickly children, was de
lighted with her summer home. The
Philadelphia school ma'am wrote home
detailed accounts of the beauties of N'ep
hank point. As for the artist, he arrived
at Kephank Station one night late in tbe
purple gloaming, and walked across tbe
beach, with his vslise in his hand, leav
ing his other luggage to come afterwards
by wagon.
Isabella's evening duties were done.
She bad come out on the beach to watch
the tide come in, Tbe ocean was at once
a rest and a revelation to her. She was
a littls startled when swift figure came
striding around the " Needle Rock," and
paused in front of her.
" I beg your pardon," said: the new
comer, " but can you tell me the way to
MisH Ives! Ia this possible, or am 1
dreaming?"
" Mr. Beverly V Bat with a sudden re
covery of ber wits, she added : " I hope
Mrs. Beverly is well ! Is she at Sephank
with you !"
"There is no Mrs. Beverly that I am
aware of," said the young man, with a
pouted air. He put down his valise, and
stood there, with (bided arms, looking at
her.
" Bella," said he, " why did yoa run I
Me
away from me? Why did yoa leae no
address behind 7"
Why did yoa et married without
giving os any notice?" she retorted, very
thankful for the sunset shadows that con
cealed her crimsoning cheeks.
" I did not art married.'
" I saw it in the paper mygelf ' Ver
non Beverly to Alk-e, widow of General
Castlemaine, of Georgia."
Exactly," said he, with a smile. "That
was my father. I have been obliged to
forward to him innumerable letters of
congratulation that have been addressed
to me. I have won a dear little step
mother, but I have lost the faith of all
. my friends. Xo, I am not married. I
shall never be married unless unless you
will marry me, Bella ; fot yoa are the
only girl I ever cared for."
Aunt Raey received Mr. Beverly with
smiling hoppitalitj.
" I knew Bella had a beau, she said to
herself, " only she wouldn't own it."
" We must pat Mr. Beer!y in the New
York artist's room," said the good old
woman, " until he comes for "
" Bat, Aant Ruey, 'At is the Xew York
artist."
" The letter was signed ' P. Patterson, "
said Mrs. Paxton, dubiously.
"Mr. Patterson is my friend," said
Beverly. He wrote to engage the room
at my request I had sprained my right
wrist. Did he not mention my name ?"
""o," said Aunt Ruey. "Goodness
me! what a tangled np business all this
is!"
" Bat it's straightened out at last," said
Beverly, laughing. " Isn't it, Bella V
" Yes," said Bella ; " it's straightened
out at last"
Little Ones in Spectacles.
The number of children who wear
spectacles has become a serious olject of
remark, says the Boston IhrnLL That a
radical wrong exists somewhere when
children only four years of ag are thus
hampered for lif, is only too palpable,
but who is to blame, and what is tbe
remedy for this evidently increasing af
fliction? Are future generations to be
sans eyes as well as sans teeth ? The de
fects in vision necessitating spectacles
are inherited, or infants scarcely able to
read would not be hurried to opticians
and fitted to glasses that must bother
them while they live. Occuliste give
many sensible reasons for this weakness
of the optic nerves. Bat no one impress
es the necessity of care in the manage
ment of eyes until the damage is done,
and then it is too late. Young mothers
who cover the baby's face with a veil, or
who wear spotted lace against their own
eyes, and who allow their children to
read by insufficient light, are laying up
trouble for themselves, though occulist
and optician will be better off by their
criminal ignorance. As to the school
rooms, where ch'ldren fpend so many
hours of the day, do parents ever ask or
know how they are lighted, and whether
the scholars face the windows, and
whether they are obliged to strain their
eyes by blackboard exercises in half
lights. A little precaution in the me of
the eyes, and some knowledge on the
subject of improper lighting, would be a
pound of cure in this matter of specta
cles. The Land of Wonderful Stories.
Tlie accompanying story needs no in
troduction, other than to say, as might
be expected, that il comes from Georgia :
There is an old gentieiuan ia Forsyth
county who is very fond of hunting, and
whenever he walks abroad his wife al
ways accompanies hiin. Recently he
went out to drive the cows. During his
walk he discovered five squirrels upon
one tree, and alo discovered that he had
lost al! of his bullets but one. He sat
down, drew out his pencil antl day book,
and, carefully surveying the distance up
to the first, began : If six grains ot pow
der will move a bullet three inches, how
many era ins will it take to carry it up to ;
the squirrel, a distance of ab'put thirty
feet? He made the calculation, put ia the
required amount of powder, just enough
to kill the squirrel, and for the bullet to
pasB through. He : banged away, and
down came bushy tail. He took his
knife, cut out the ball, loaded up and
fired again and again until he had killed
the five squirrels with the one buliet.
The Best Advertising.
The most efficient advertising in be
half of Hood's Sarsaparilla is that which
comes from the medicine itself. That is,
those who are cured by it, speak to
friends suffering similarly, who in turn
derive benefitand urge others to try this
successful medicine. Thu3 the circle of
its popularity is rapidly widening from
this cause alone, and more and more are
becoming enthusiastic in behalf of Hood's
Sarsaparilla, as it actually demonstrates
its absolute merit AU that is asked for
Hood's Sarsaparilla is that it be given a
fair trial. If you need a good blood pu
rifier, or building up medicine, try Hood's
Sarsaparilla.
The Centre of Population.
The centre of population has traveled
west almost on a straight line from the
vicinity of Annapolis to a point seven
miles southwest of Cincinnati. The last
census took it across the Ohio river, a
short way below Riverside. The pre
sumption is that the next census will
take it across the river again, locating it
in the State of Indiana, not far from Ris
ing Sun. Cinviimar, CitminerruU-Gazflf.
Corn in the glaxing stage niakes the
best fodder. If cut when the ear is bard
the stalk is then (to a certain exteut)
woody, and if cut very young, before the
ears are formed, the stalk abounds in
water and is lacking in nutrition. When
the ear is about filled and beginn:ng to
glaze, the cutting of the corn at that
stage arrests the nutritive elements in
the stalk, and the fodder is then equal to
bay, being fed to stock with the ears on
the stalk cr cut up in a cutter.
When the branches of The tomato vine
look as if the leaves? had been stripped
off, make a close search for the green
worm, which is about two inches long
and half an inch in diameter. Cnless
the worm ia caught it will eat up alt the
foliage, and as it is nearly of the color of
the vines it is not easilv detected.
Moral'courage will rank higher than
physical. The one is a daily necessity,
while U.e other may be required only in
emergencies.

We once lived a neighbor to a man

duty to build and keepin repair half of
the fence. But th is man was a person of
habitual slackness in all his ways, conse
quently his share of the fence was
always in a ric'iety condition. The hitrm
became doubly great since his land was
a pasture and ours a field. The annoy

breaking through and destroying ctops
was incalculable.

trampled all through the growing crops
until they found those cabbages. The
condition of them the next morning was
enough to arouse all the ire in any man's
nature.

breakfast The farmhouses were near
together at that point, and this borse
would rind its way into ft-uceless door-
yards, trample over nower-Dexis and DreaK
down shrubbery. Ire would jump over
low fences and stone walla in order to
reach good feed. Tha entire neighbor
hood had to guard against the depreda
tions of this old beast, and when one
day it happened to get on the railroad
and its meddlesome career was ended
no one grieved except its owner. The
owner of the horse well knew what a
mischievous animal he was ; yet, in order
to save a littie feed, he wouid turn it out
to become a nuisance to h'n neinh'wrs.
The man became an object of universal
dislike just on accoudt of such inconsid
erate action toward his neighbors.
Perhaps r.o other oue cau-ie has pro
duced more hostility among neijjt-bor?
than that of farmers having sheep k.ltexl
by their neighbors' dogs. This is really so
universal auo serious a calamity tuat, lor
cne, the writer would lie glad to see the
law step in and place so heavy a tat on
dogs as would do swav wsth the entire
dog creation except the needed valuable
ones. There are thousands upon thou
sands of the most worthless curs through
out our agricultural district that very
year causes a great loss to the fanners.
They are kept by men not interested in
sheep, and in their inditference to tlieir
neighbors' welfare they persist in keep
ing these w orth less animals.
Occasionally the loss from this source
is so great as to quite balance the profit
on a small farm. A neighboring fanner
and sheep raiser keeps no dogs himself,
j hut has several neighbors who own logs.
j In one season he had nearly a hundred
dollars' worth of sheep and lamhs killed
by dogs. He was unable to designat-i the
guilty animals, and as usual each dog
owner defended his dog against the
charge. In such cases it is iiupoesiblu to
get redress in any measure, and ih sheep
raiser is compelled to endure the wrong
and suffer the kw.
In one instance a farmer found hia
neighbor's dtxr chasing his s!eep in the
daytime. Hastily procuring his rifie he
! killed the d.vj. Even nndersnch circum
stances the shooting of it caused b.ajtile
feelings between the two families, who
had hitherto been on the m.t amiable
terms. The owner iof the dog claimed
that it was simply in play that it was af
ter the sheep.
Occasionally a man is found with suf
ficient justice to enable him to see both
sides of the case, even though he is a
concerned party. An acquaintance once
purchased a valuable Newfoundland dog
and paid express ou it for a longdistance.

guilt became nnmistak.ble. and the own-
er
took its life. Tha irood will , t his
neighbors and their interest were of
more value to him than the keeping of a
dog merely as a matter of pleasure.
In this great human family it is impos
sible for people to live wholly to theni
selve". There are times when individual
feelings and fancies should fx? sacrificed
when they conflict seriousiy with the
justice dae to a fellow man. The person

baby p.-operly he would not have even a
nine minutes' colic. It is related of a
celebrated physician that a pafient once
said to him, "uoctur, somethimr is wrong

Especially ln hot weather babv is eften
restless for the want of a drink. Try him
with a teaspoonfu! of cold water several
times a day. Sometimes bathing the hot
little fare and hamla with a cloth
will act as a nervine, and quiet him. Do
not give baby more than one entire bath
in a day, as too much bathing is weak
ening. Even in the hottest weather let
him wear flannel next to his skin, but
burden him with as few other clothes as
possible. CouiUry CuUm-in.

Mr. Ponltney Bigelow, who was hi.s
schoolfellow in Germany, and whoe
j opinion is summed np terseiy in the fl
i lowing statements : "We can say that no
j ruler of his years has ever pat upon the
throne with his mind more richly stored
with practical knowtertgw ; with a spirt
more devoted to what he recognirs as
duty; with a body better trained by vir
tuous living t endure every fo'mi of
work." On the other hand, an anony
mous writer, who speaks evidently from
inside knowledge, conveys an entirely
different impression. He thinks the Ger
man Emperor is a man limited in intel
lect, but of considerable capacity within
the comparatively narrow range of his
thoughts. When he applies himself to
the mastering of a dirfiVnlt problem, ha
semis his mind through it like a saw.
Mr. Eigelow thinks that he holds th fnf
