THE MOTHER OF A SOLDIER.
The mother of a soldier hats off to her,
I say!
Ttw mother of a aotdler who has rone to
face the fray:
Bho save him to her country with a blesa-
tntr on his head
She found hla namo thla morning In the
long Hat of the deed;
"Killed Serjeant Thomaa Watkma. while
Loading on the rest.
A Bible In his pocket and a portrait on hla
brenat!"
The mother of a soldier ahe gnve him to
her land;
, She paw him on the transport as he waved
his sun-browned hand;
She kissed him through the teardrops and
told htm to be brave;
Her prayers went night and morning with
her boy upon the wave.
I The mother of a eoldler her comfort and
her Joy,
Bho gave her dearest treasure when ahe
gave her only boy;
She saw the banners waving, ahe heard the
people cheer;
' Bhe claBped her hands and bravely looked
away to hide a tear.
The mother of a soldier Ah, cheer the hero
died.
And cheer the brave who battle 'neath the
banner of their creed;
! Out don't forget the mothers, through all
the lonely years,
That fight the bravest buttles on the sun-
less Held of tear,
Nay, don't forget the mothera the moth
ers of our men,
J Who sco them go and never know that
they'll come back again,
That give them to their country, to battle
and to die,
Ilecnuso the bugles call them and the starry
banners fly.
The mother of a soldier hate off to ber,
I say!
: Whose head Is bowed In sorrow with Its
tender locks of gray.
She gave without regretting, though her
old heart sorely bled
! When ahe found hla name this morning
In the long list of the dead:
"Klllod Sergeant Thomaa Watkma, while
leading on the rest.
Ills dear old mother's portrait clasped
upon his hero breast!"

An Experiment in Friendship
By Murray Seasongood.
"QOLKEB, utirinir his four yearn at
Tj college, never made a friend. To
hilu neighbor In a lecture meant either
nuisance, if fidgety and inclined to talk,
or object of indifference. If quiet and
taciturn; snob, If well dressed; nonent
ity if, like himself, shabby. In those
four yeara of toil Itolker never commits
ted the conventional eollege aina of
drinking, amoklng or loafing. Inatend,
he spent his time on mathematics, now
computing, with infinite psUlence, how
long it takes (dlaaJlowlng friction) for
a drop of water to flow from the north
pole to the equator, and now mastering
the eccentricities of parabolaa and
other devilish curve. Hla mathematics
stamped themselves on his appearance,
his habita and hla character. The part
In hia black hair was the perfection of
strnlghtnesa; just as regular aa TtSO,
13:00and6:00came each day, so regular
ly he regaled himself at Foxcroft. As
for work, hia waa invariably ready three
dnya before the required time. Bolkei
graduated finally with a suinma cum
(highest honors in mathematics)), an
abnormally developed character and n
vague longing. This last he proved con
clusively to himself waa for a continu
ance of his student life, and In hopes of
mitisfylng It he pleaded successfully
to (he, regent for a proctoinhlp.
The next fall found him ensconced In
office heartily trusting he should never
have to aasert himself. While beautify
ing his new qunrters, on tho day before
college opened, with a much connoting
heepskin, he waa Htnrlled by a loud:
"Oh, excuse me but will you lend me a
match?" from a well-dressed lad, stand
ing at the door.
"Certainly, yea; come in," stammered
the proctor, bluahlng.
"Thnnka, awfully," wild the visitor.
"I didn't really wnirt a match, you
know. I'm your neighbor, and I thought
we might its well meet. I'm a fresh
man; my name's Wiitson.
Strangely, the proctor was not bored;
indeed, he was glnd. "Mine," be aald,
holding out his hand timidly, "is
Holker." The Ingenuous Intruder
grasped it heartily.
"What a jolly room you have!" It
was in reality almost bare "I suppose
you're a senior."
"Xo; I'm n graduate this year."
"That Is dignified! What an age it
mtiKt seem since you came. Hut I nee
you're busy fixing up. I ought to be,
too, I'm such a lazy dog, though, I'd
sit around nnd talk all day, If you'd let
me. Well, so long. Come and see me.
Fifteen, right next door," nnd out he
strode, whistling.
Ilolker's heart seemed pushing up to
ward his collurbone. Tie had not men
tioned that he waa proctor, because he
feared the boy, once knowing It, would
not come buck, and he wanted him
buck; wanted him to come often.
His wish was gratified. That very
night Watson dropped in, now without
excune. He spoke of the strangeness of
tho place, of how thoroughly insignifl
ennt one felt In it, as though no one
would care If you lived or died; where
in It was all quite different from home
(home being in Dayton, O., and very
far away). Then Holker surprised him
self by playing the comforter.
"Must you be off?" he said, sincerely
sorry, when the Ind finally rose to go.
"Yea, I want to start In well and get
up early. I'm tremendously obliged to
whew, it s late,"
"By Jove, I had no idea it was so late.
Half past ten! ni have to stop that
fellow playing hia piano up there."
"Why, you don't mind It, do jrou?"
"No but you see I'm proctor In the
building."
"You?" the lad laughed. "Why,
you've Just graduated. You're joking,
aren t your
"No, I really am the proctor."
"Oh, what a dnch Tte got," chuckled
the boy, Impudently. "Good night, old
man that 1. I rneasudr,"
The exclamation annoyed Bolker
vaguely. What if ever as proctor he
should have to nonsense! His fears
were groundless. The fact that he waa
proctor did uot in the least hamper
the acquaintance from ripening, as
time went on. into friendship. The
freshman Wll young nnd liked the
proctor's quiet reserve, his sophisti
cated advice, and Bolker became equal
ly fond of the wild lad toward whom
his solitary heart turned with a tender
ness almost fatherly.
One night there enme from Watson's
room more noise than was usual. It
began early, and prolonged Itself In
definitely. The proctor went to bed
doubting. The noise continued; it be
came Intolerable. Jumping into his
slipper (which were nlways. toes out,
precisely at right angles to the bed)
Bolker rapped at the floor. For nn In
stant the noise ceased; then the proc
tor beard from within: "Let me go.
I'm all right, I tell you," nnd an angry
"Shut up; get in there quick; I'll go,"
in the voice of Watson, who thereupon,
looking extremely silly, nppeured at the
door.
"Won't you please stop the noise?"
faltered Holker. "I can't sleep if you
don't."
"Were we making a noise? Really
I"
"It doesn't mutter at all if you'll only
Btop. (rood night,"
"Good night, sir." The door slammed
with a sctifile and a blended chorus of
"You old liar eh, eh give me thot
whoop!"
Holker slipped Into bed, very miser
able. He hated to do it. Out in the
hall he heard another scuffle, mournful
reproaches, blasphemous diatribes
against all proctors and reluctant good
nights. But it was long, despite the
succeeding quiet, before he slept.
Next morning Wntson appeared for
an Instant to iternte ids regrets. "Just
it beer ulghf , you know my eighteenth
birthday. It won't happen again, 1 as
sure you. Ta-ta!"
During the. next week Holker was
wretched because his neighbor did not
appear. Uoulitless lie wets angry. lo
have Stopped his birthday party was
but one's dutv! ltot! One's duty was
to have waited at least awhile longer.
As a matter of fact Watson, aa Holker
should have known, was too busy for
visiting, In that year before the mid
year. To keep off probation would be
a hard struggle. He had determined ac
cordingly to work hard, and did, so that
he scraped through inglorioualy.
One day after the troublous times
were over the proctor waa disturbed
in his work by a well-known bang at
the door, and in answer to hla "Come
In," Watson appeared nil breathless.
"I say, my folks are In the next room.
They surprised me, and I want you to
meet them now, please.
I'd like to," replied Holker, nervous
ly, "but but I'm busy, that in "
Bosh, my dear fellow; there's no
one but mother and sister. I've told
'em so much about you they Insist on
seeing you, and when they insist you
might aa well give In right off; it saves
time. They'll be insulted if you don't.
Com on, there's a good fellow."
Bolker had never before met any
one's people, and didn't know quite
how to do It. So it wns only after many
misgivings that he at length consented.
But he found Mrs. Watson much like
her son, nnd a brief talk with her made
him forget his hands and feet. Later,
to Miss Watson'B sincere thanks for hia
looking after her brother, and to her
Interested queries that disclosed abso

I'rtilkcr found himself answering with
more freedom than he had ever dreamed
of. Tho girl had nil the unaffected
frunkneas of her brother, augmented
by a thousand little womanly graces.
that quite captivated him.
At the end of a blissful hour came
the climax; they asked him to dine.
And when he perforce declined, they
sweepingly rebutted his arguments; he
waa not a stranger; they had seemed
to know him for ages; he had been so
good to Fred. In short, he accepted.
At the end of n week atson a peo
ple took rooms in Cambridge. "Mother
likes the place better than Boston," ex
plained the boy. "I'm the chief at
traction, and they want to be near me.
Oh ami they want you to call, often.
Sia thinks you're just ubout the right
sort." Holker flushed. "That's very
nice, I'm sure."
And he did call often; the girl waa
wonderfully attractive. When, after
two months' stay, she and her mother
left, Holker, for the first time la hia
college career, felt lonesome.
Worst of nil, the April examinations
put poor Watson on probation. "My dad
writes he won't have me come back
if I don't make my class. But, hang it
all, I couldn't help it! It takes me such
a time to get started, the hour's always
up by the time I begin. Looks pretty
cerious, eh? But I'll manage somehow,
1 guess."
He did manage, In his first four finals,
despite the innumerable seminars and
incessant grinding that preceded them,
to do very badly. That was sure.
It so happened that In the fateful
room, where he was to take hla last,
an examination in English, Bolker was
proctor. "Good luck to you!" he smiled
to Watson, giving him a blue book.
Then he settled into the dreamy, trance
like state wherein he was wont to pass
the three-hour ordeaL
After awhile he glanced toward Wat
eon. Good heavens! the boy waa not
writing; he was looking squarely on the
book of the man in front of him. Holker
turned away hastily, then, with a fear
ful doubt, looked again. Could It be
that he her brother could it be? It
was; the wretched boy, afraid of fail
ure, was taking this cowardly means.

it isn't, what then? I wont look

swung around. Horrible, it waa true!
A flush came to Bolker'a cheeks here
waa no time for leniency. He would
report, he must rejiort. the infamous
cheat. Report? No, thank heaven, that
was not necessary!
Over on the other side of the room
dozed a fellow proctor; to him tiptoed

Aa October drew near, he became
more and more despondent, fenring he
should never again see his by now
canonized friend. He even thought of
resigning, for the renson thnt In allow

But one morning he waa startled and
shocked by hearing the voice he bo well

with the Olympiads, B. C. T7C. Rome was
founded B. C. 732. Assyria waa the doml

Ufa, and was the Instrument of the execu
tion of the Divtno warnings.
EXPLANATORY.
The Mission of the Prophet Ilosea.
Hosea had fallen upon evil times, and
his mission was to make them better.
Like Elisbu at the bitter fountain of
a new motive, me migntiesi mat can
lie brought to bear upon the heart of
man the love of God, tho deepest, ten
derest, strongest love possible. "To
Amos' proposition 'God is Justice,' no

I. Hosea's Personal Experience Makes

Power of Lovo to Conquer Sin. Chaps.

II. Hosea's Appeals and Warnings.
Chops. 3-14. He shows how the pcoplo
are decaying morally, and as n natural
result politically.
HI. A Vision of thePust.-Chap.il.
The warnings and woes against sin nre
interrupted by two visions; one of the
past, chap. 11, und one of future possi
bilities, chap. 14.
IV. The Vision of Hope. 14: 1-0.
First. The Prophet's Appeal (vs. 1,3).
V. L "Keturn:" like the prodigal son.
nfter his bitter experiences, "unto the
Ixird thy God:" whose child you are.
to whom you owe allegiance, gratitude,
love, obedience. "-For thou bust fallen
by thine iniquity:" Again like the
prodigal son. They had found "what
an evil and bitter thing" It is to forsake
Jehovah t'uir God (Jer. 2:19). V. 2.
"Take With you words:" Express your
feelings of repentance; make public
confession of Rin, so that your penitence
may be known ns widely ns the sin;
put your vows and promises on record;
aa it were, sign a pledge. 8uch things
are the natural accompaniments of true
repentance. "And turn:" R. V., re
turn, to the lord. This is the new birth
of John 3:3, 6. It is, and always has
been, the essential condition of solva
tion. Second. The Penitent's Prayer and
Confession (vs. f, S). "Take away all
iniquity." By free forgiven eaa, and by
taking away the sinful nature. "St)
will we render the calves of our lips:"
The calves, or bullocks, were the larger
sacrifices of their ritual. Their vows,
their praises, their expressions of love,
their confessions and promises were
their true offerings to God. Compare
Isa. 58:5-14. V.3. "Assur, Assyria, shall
not save us: " They will no longer turn
to Assyria for help, as they had done
before (5:13; 7:11; 8:0). "Forinthee
the fatherless:" "Lo-Kuhamah" of
chaps. 1 and 2, "flndeth mercy: " (Com
pare John 14:18). I will not leave you
"comfortless," Greek, "orphans."
Third. 'Jhe Lord Speaks in Reply (vs.
4-6). V. ft. "I will be as the dew:"
Rather, aa the night mist, L e., the
masses of vapor brought by the damp
westerly winds of summer. The baleful
effects qf the sirocco are often felt in
Palestine during the rainless heat of
summer, but by the beautiful provi
sion of night-mist atl hardy forms of
vegetable life are preserved. Cam
bridge Bible. "Oow:" blossom, "as
the lily:" In glorious beauty and pro
fusion. V. o. What a beautiful picture
this Is of the kingdom of God on earth ;
the ideal which every Christian church
should seek to realize more fully.
Fourth. The Prophet Pictures Israel
Under the Fulfilment of this Promise.
V. 7. "They that dwell under his,
Isreal'a, shadow:" The people of Is
reel. "Shall return:" Revive as the
bare branches revive in the springtime.
Shall grow, blossom, "aa the vine:"
dutiful and fruitful.
Fifth. Repentant Israel Speaks. V.
& "What have I to do any more with
jBata?" Israel renounces Idols forever.
The Lord Responds. "I have
(aaurwered) him, and observed
sal will regard him. The Lord
aUrael'B repentance, and will
under Ills care.
h. Repentant Israel rejoices In
stflt.. "I am like a green fir tree:"
evidently thinking of the splendid for
ests of Lebanon." Cheyne.
Eighth. The Lord replies in words of
both hope and warning. "From Me Is
thy fruit found:" All these blessings
come from the Lord, as tbe life and
fruit of a tree comes from the earth
and air. So In John 15, the fruit on the
branch comes from the vine.
Hone Perfect Bat Chrlet.
He who boasts of being perfect is
perfect In folly. I never saw a perfect
man. Every rose has Its thorns and
every day its night. Even the sun
shows spots, and the skies are darkened
with clouds. And faults of some kind
nestle in every bosom. Spurgeon.
Beaton Coagrratmlatea Herself.
Boston congratulates Itself on a
marked decrease in drunkenness dur
ing the last three years. In 1898 there
were (0,480 arrests for this offense. In
1897 the number declined to 19.1S2, and
In 1898 to 18,628. The probation system
Is working well.
Hot a deed Rale.
Christian people should be slow
about adding to their list of Beatitudes
the modern one which reads: "Blessed
are those who row with the stream,
(or they shall get what they want"
Dos ton Watchman.
