With fringe of snow and hoart of gold;
All pure without, and warm within.
And stood to havo hor fortuno tolu.

And plucked the border lonf by leaf;
'A little too iniiou notutnll

tho mliil.it'jr." VIiun informed Unit
ho Wis out of town, ho soemed dlsap-
)oiiitcu and anxious, un iiemjr iuos
tloiied as to his business, ho replied:
"I havo lost my mother, and as this
pluco used to bo ner notne, auti as my
father lies lice, wo havo eoino to lay
hor hc-dtlo him."
Our heart roso In sympathy, and wo
mi. "You havo met with a groat
loss."
11 Well yos," ronllcd the strong man,
with hesitancy, ' a mother is a groat
loss in general, but our mother had out
lived her uscmluoss. Site was in her
second childhood, and her mind had
grown as weak as her body, so that alio
was no comfort to herself and was a
burden to ovotybody. Tlioro was sov
cn of us sons and daughters, and, as wo
could not Unci any ono who who would
board hor, wo agreed to Icoop horamong
ik a year about. JJut I havo had nioro
than my sharo of hor, for sho was too
fecblo to"bo moved when my tlmo was
out, and that was moro than threo
months beforo her death. 13ttt, then,
sho was a good mother in Iter day, and
tolled very nam to onng us up."
Without looking at tho faco of tho
heartless man wo directed him to tho
house of a neighboring pastor and re
turned to our nursery. Wo gazed on
'' . tho merry llttlo faces which smiled or
grow .sad in imitation of ours, tiioso llt
tlo ones to whoso ear no word In our
laaguago is half so sweet as ' mother,'
and wo wondorod If that day could over
como when they would say of us, "Sho
has outlived her usefulness she is no
comfort to herself and a burden to every
body else!" and wo hoped that beforo
such a day would dawn wo might bo
taken to our rest. God forbid that wo
should outllvo tho lovo of our children:
Itathor let us dio while our hearts aro
a part of their own, that our gravo may
bo wittered with their tearsand our lovo
linked with their hopes of heaven.
When tho bell tollod for tho mother's
burial wo went to tho sanctuary to p.iy
our only token of respect to tho aged
stranger; for wo felt that wo could give
hor memory a tear, ovon though hor
own children had nono to shed.
" Sho was a irood mother In her day.
and tolled hard to bring us all up sho
was no comfort to herself and a burden
tooverylKHly else!" Thcso cruel, heart
less words rung In our ears as wo saw
tho collln borne up tho n!le. Tho bell
tolled long and loud, until its iron
tonguo had chronicled tho years of the
toll-worn mother. One two three
four live. How clearly and almost
merrily each stroko told of her onco
peaceful slumber in her mother's bosom
and of her seat at nightfall on hor wea
ry father's knees. Six seven eight
nine ten rang out tho tale of her
sports on tho greensward, in tlte mead
ow and beside tho brook. Klovon
twelve thirteen fourteen siwke
moro gravely of school days and llttlo
household joys and cares. Sixteen
seventeen eighteen sounded out the
enraptured visions of maidenhood and
hn rinvim nf park' love. Nineteen
brought before us the happy bride. I
Twenty spoke of the young mother,
whoso heart was full to burating with
the new, stio'ng love which God had
awakened in her bosom. And then
stroko after stroke told of her early
womanhuoii of tho love, and euro-".
and hopes, a.id fi-nr,.ami to'ls through
which she tus-cd during theo long
jttfarj, till fifty rang out har.-'li and lnud.
l- roin in it to sixty each stroke told ni
tho warm-hearted mother and grand
mother, livltnr iivpi'iil'iiIii hnrmvn lovi
and sorrows in those of her children
and children's children.
Every family of all tho group wanted
grandmother then, and tho only dtrlfe
w.i who -h mid oeuro tho prize; but
hark, the hell tolls on! Seventy seventy-one
two throe four. Sho be
gins to grow feeble, requires some care,
Is not always perfectly patient or itls
lied; who goes from ono child's house to
another, o that no one place seem like
home. She murmurs in plaintive
tones, and after all her toils and weari
ness, it is hard ho cannot be allowed a
place to d!c in; that she must bo sent
rather than invited from houso to
house. Lighty elghty-ono two
three four. Ah, sho is now a oecond
child now " she has outlived hor uso
mines, Mic lias now ceased to ho a com
fortJo herself or anybody;" that is, she
hao.p-od to be profitable to her earth
craving and money-grasping children.
Nuw hounds out, reverberating
through our lonely forest, and echoing
back from our "hill of tho dead," eighty-nine!
There sin lies now in tho enfr
in, cold and still she makes no trouble
now, demands no love, no soft words,
no tender little olllces. A look of pa
tient endurance, we fancied also an ex
pression of grief for unrequited love,
sat on hor marblo features. Her chil
dren wero there clad in weeds of woe,
and In irony we remembered tho strong
man's words, "sho was a good mother
in her day."
When tho bell ceased tolling tho
strango minister roso in tho pulnit.
Ills form was vev erect, and his voice
strong, but Ids hair silvery white. Ho
read several passages of scrlpturo ox
presslve of God's compassion to feeblo
man, and especially of his tenderness
when gray hairs aro on him, and his
(strength fnlloth hint. He then made
some touching remarks on human frail
ty, and dependence on God, urging all
prcM'tit to make their pcaco with their
Master while m health that thoy might
cliiim lit- promNe when hoart nndilc3h
failed them. "Then," ho Haiti, "the
eternal God hall be thy refuge, and
beneath thee shall be tho everlasting
arms." Leaning over tho desk, and
gazing intently on the coffined form lie
lore him, ho said reverently, "i'Voni a
child T have honored the agetl; but
never till gray hairs covered my own
head, did I truly know mtwli lovo and
sympatny this clasj havo a right to de
mand of their follow creatures. Now I
feel It, Our mother," ho added most
tenderly, -'who now lies In death beforo
us. was a stranger to me, as aro all
thc?o her do.-cendants. Ail I know of
her is what her sou has told mo to-day
that hho was brought to this town
from afar, sixty-nine years ago, a hap
py bride that, hero sho had passed
most of her life, toiling, as only moth
ers over havo strength to toil, until sho
nad reared a largo family of nous and
daughters that sho loft hor homo
hero, clad in tho weeds of widowhood,
to dwell among her children; and
thnt till health and strength left hor.
God forbid that conscience .should ac
cuse any of you of Ingratitude or mur
muring on account of the caro sho has
been to you of late. When you go back
to your home.'', bo careful of your ex
ample beforo your own children; for the
fruit of your own doing you will surely
reap from them when yourselves totter
on tho brink of tho grave. I entreat
you as n friend, a ono who has himself
entered tno evening oi lire, tiiat you
may nover say in tho prosonco of your
families nor of heavon: 'Our motlior
hud outlived hor usefulness .she was a
burden to us.' Nover, nover; a mother
cannot llvo ho long as that. No; when
sho'can no longer labor for hor children,
nor yot caro for herself, she can fall like
a precious weight on their bosoms, and
call forth by hor helplessness all tho no
ble, generous feelings of tholr natures."
Adieu, then, poor, toll-worn mother;
thoro nro no moro days nf pain for thee.
Undying vigor and ovorlastlng useful
ness aro part of tho inheritance of tho
redeemed.
Our Pet Crow.
Vow die lieudiny (Pa.) Times.
A lady in this city was tho owner of
a not crow, whoso oddltios anil lovo of
miscnjoi mauo mm it nousououi pot.
IIo was tho "social lion" of Ins day,
and company wro always entortalned
by an interview with "Jim Crow," as
ho waseallcd. Tho history of this bird
was thus related by tho lady herself:
Sitting in tho trunk of a tree bcsldn
the cabin of u woodchopper, 1 first saw
"Jim Crow." IIu was too young to
fly, only partially .overcd with feath
ers, looked so quoer, helpless and mis-
clioviott"', tliat l iwMJgtit lilni, ueu mm
in my naiuiKcrcnioi, and roo twenty
miles to my home. Tho rldo did not
disagree with him, but seemed to have
increased his appetite, for from his
perch his continuous "caw-caw " could
bo heard from morn till ove. It was
the amusement of all tho family to fill
un "Jim Crow," which meant to tako
pieces of bread and clover heads, and
indeed anything, almost, and drop it
in ids wide-open mouth till his craw,
his thro.it, and his mouth wore filled.
There ho would sit with his bill wide
open, unable to shut it till tho food
slowly digested, then recommenco his
caw-caw-caw." Willi his wings
came what tho twinklo in those black
eyes foretold mischief, sly and deep.
Mischief premeditated and unpremed
itated, and mischief purely because he
couldn't help it, and this propensity
wa exerci-.ed against tha cook, be
cause sho most felt his presence and re
lented It.
I In delighted In going into the cook's
room, whose careless habits made that
place a paradtso to him. IIo Would put
his bill under her sawing box and turn
oil the cover on tho floor and then the
fun began. Tho needles wero carefully
stuck over tho bed one by one. The
cotton was hid in tho wood-house ami
tho scissors nicely tucked under the
pillows in the room nultu removed
from the sceno of his labors. The wax
and thimblo wero dropped into tho
aquarium. And after all thN delicious
fun, ho ino day took n llttlo pot of
hard pomade In his bill, and, hopping
to tho veranda roof, ato the nomado
with evident relish, and then dropped
tho glas pot on tho ntove-plpe below
with n satLsfiod air at its destruction.
IIo then flew down and carefully pick
ed up o.ich pteco and put It in the
gras
This nnin was his favorite report.
To it we always went to find a missing
comb, a tooth or u hair brush, and wero
sure to find it behind the glass or un
der tho carpet or bod. Darin? tho
short Illness of ono of tho family, reg
ularly at nine a.m. "Jim" hopped
along tho veranda roof, g.ivo a quiet
tap on tho closed window, and, on be
ing admitted, brought with him to tho
bedsldo a chicken bono or log, or some
thing equally tempting, Seeing that
ho was duly observed, ite would rufilo
up his feathers, and then open wide
Ills mouth for a part of tho invalid's
breakfast. After stirring up tilings for
half an hour, or moro, opening the
clock, picking at tho hands, stopping
tho pendulum, dropping the soap In
tho water pitcher, and taking all tho
pins out'of tho pincushion, ho would
take his leave.
To carry away small chickens and
drop them Into holes and cover them
with dirt was his Intense delight, and
jvhen wo saw a distracted hen rushing
madly about tho barnyard, somo ono
looked up "Jim Crow" and went to
tho rescue. Once, after a day's fishing,
wo wore cleaning tho 11 3h on tho raco
bank, and busy watching tho operation
was tho crow and somo ducks. Ono
fish was considered toD .small and
thrown into tho water. A duck quick
ly siozod It by tho head and "Jim"
took the tall, and they nulled and pull
ed for a few seconds. Tho scone was
very amusing, for " Jim " planted his
llttlo black feet firmly on tho bank and
was slowly drawn into the water, hold
ing on to the fish. As soon as he found
that ho was getting in loo tleop, ho let
go his hold ami fiow to a tree to tiko
his usual ruvongo In scolding, and with
his head on ouo side, ho scolded till all
the fish were cleaned. IIo loved to
teaso tho pcaco;k who came every day
after dinner to ho fed with pieces of
bread. He would eat all he could to
take It from tho peacock, lie would
eat till his craw, throat mil bill wero
full, and then hop about, unable to shut
his mouth and still trying to oat. Dut
as tho pieces wero ta$ snull and his
bill too wide apart ho could not rob
tho ponr peacock nny more, nnd ho
would fly away, dlsposo of It, aid soon
return to repeat tho operation, nnd,
strange to say, ho was tho terror of tho
barn-yard, while ho was quito young
ho was tyrannized over, nnd all of tho
fowls, lirgo and small, had a nick at
Jim. Hut ono day a happy thought
slezod him. He took a long straw In
Ids hill and chased tho geese, who fled
before him, nnd Jim reigned supremo
from that day, and ho often repeated
the scare, wo thought, for his own
amusement. Carefully arranged in
the loops and bows of our best bonnet
wo found uoplc cores, according to Jim
a great improvement. In tho pockets
of our coats thoro wero stones and
sticky and never a nen or pencil could
llo looso on tho table. Jim's strong
point was butter, nnd on churning dny)
Jim staid at homo and behaved him
self. Ho could eat a half pound, hut
ono day he ran his bill through a pound
and tried to fly away with it. IIo was
caught rolling over nnd ovor on tho
floor with it, nnd from that tlmo lie
was banished."
Ah summer faded into autumn Jim
staid moro and moro nway from home,
and would return occasionally with
friends, ovidently showing them tho
place. Onco our attention wascallod
to a vigorous cawing on tho roof. Thoro
waj Jim with throe frlonds. Thoy sol
emnly walked in at tho cook'a wind )W
nnd remained .some time. When thoy
left, nil moveable things wero found
over-turned, and tho room in tho state
Jim always left It. The pleasures of
that place hud no doubt been described
by Jim to his friends, and ho had now
brought them along lorn frolic.
One rainy day ho sat for hours on tho
applo treo delivering a farowell address
for he never came again.
Jim was n nuisance on wash days;
between dropping trash In tho tubs. fly.
Ing away with tho Mip, and pulling
out tho clothespins from the clothes on
tho Hue, ho was kept very bti'.y. IIo
dropped small htonos overj- evening on
a pet toad, who lived under tho kitch
en, and who camo out to ho fed by tho
cook and tormented by Jim. He'd
enmo quietly, meekly hopping Into the
kitchen, looking so innocent and hun
gry, give tho bleeping cat a fearfully
hard po.k, and fly out tho window.
Ho stole a quantity of butter ono Uiy
and hid it near tho chimney of an oit
kitchen. Wo wero as much htirprlico'l
to fee grease trickling down tho wall
as was Jim when ho went for his treas
ure nnd found it gone. Tho caws that
followed revealed tho culprit.
POISONINO ISV TUB AlLANTIIUa.
Fair Haven, Conn., hnsncascofpols) i
ing by an nilnuthus tree. A woman
twenty years old has been attacked with
an eruption on her head and faio, which
Is attributed to brattling thoo-lorof
tho blossoms, and tho doctor is satisfied
as to the cause. Asnu oxpeilmiut, a
small shoot .springing from tho r ot of
tho treo had been Lro :j:i off, nn I the J
end rubbed on the wrist of a person, tho
spot touched not being larger than a ton
cent piece. Tho effect was to canso tho
hand and wrist to become badly swoll
en and very much Inflamed, with it
burning sensation, tho skin being eov
ored with vesicles in patches. The
woman nffected by tho poison luid boon
bom on tho premises, nnd had the
same trnublo every year when tho treo
was in flower. Sho took tho disorder
by lying on tho soul near a window not
far from the treo. Tho eruption was
not accompanied by any feverish symp
toms, such as loss of appetite or quick
ened pulsation. No cllect appeared to
be produced on tho brain. Ajlanthus
trees havo been planted In England for
1.1') years and in Franco for IL'0 years.
Thoy wero started in this country by it
speculator .'50 or 40 years ago, who sent
packages of tho seeds to overy post
master, giving mm a proportion ot tno
packages for celling tho rest, and ho
realized about $r,OUO by the operation.
Thus tho trees wero planted in ovory
town In tho United States, undor the
attractive name of tho Pride of Heavon.
Pi: FttAXic Never deceivo for tho
sake of a foolish jest, or to exclt' tho
laughter of a few companions at tho ex
pense of a friend. Bo anxious when
you relate anything to tell It just as it
occurred. Never vary in tho least de
gree Tho reason why our oars aro so
often saluted by false reports is because
people in telling real things add a little
to them, nnd as they tuss through a
dur.eii mouths tho original stories are
turned into something entirely dlfi'er
ont. So when yon attempt to tell any
thing that you Imvo seen with your
own eyes reiitto u correctly in ovory
particular, and as vou irrow older vou
will reap tho advantages of this course.
Companionship and IIkaitii. To
Ik perfectly healthy and happy, ono
must have friends. They need not be
In large numbors,but ono, two or thruo
kindred spirits with whom ono can
commune, sharo Joys and sorrows,
thoughts nnd feelings. In choosing
frlonds great caro is necessary. There
must be somo bond of sympathy. It
may bo moral, intellectual or social; but
oven these bondsaro not sufllclcnt. An
invalid or a weakly person, needs
healthy friends; it timid one, bravo
frlonds. Those (Who aro blessed with
good friends aro healthier and happier
than those who havo none.
BREVITIES.
Charity Is frequently best displayed
in helping others to help themselves.
It Is reported that when the doctors
