The lips which have kissed mauy hot tears from the childish cheek are the sweetest lips in the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with the .apt radiance of a holy love which can never fade. Oh, yes, she is dear old mother. Her sands of time are nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go further and reach lower for you than will any other on earth.

In evidence of her deathless love, when the world may despise and forsake you—when it leaves you by the wayside to die untouched —the dear old mother will gather you up in feeble arms, carry you home and tell you of all your virtues until you almost forget that your soul is disfigured by vices. vs«, a fM O ft 'N \9 v k x A/S M A .T U t T\M S \ I S U M TUROVJtM' TU' M M K O N M4TD ) 49 EDDYYIOLETTE NUPTIALS Marriage ot Two Prominent Business People.
