OREGON CITY, (TO KG OS, J-. 16,171.
".She Had Outlived Her Usefulness.''
Tot lone? since a man in middle
life came to our door asking for tlie
minister. W ieu told that he was
out of town he soe'iii l disappointed
and anxious. (On liiiir qu istioned
as to his businoss, lie answered:
I have lost mv m jt'uer, aud a
my father lies here, we have come to
lav her beside liim."
My heart rose in sympathy, and I
,said. "You have met with a great
loss."
"Well, yes," he replied, with hes
itancy, "a mother is a greatloss in
general, but our mother ha loutlived
her usefulness." She was in hor
second childhood, and her mind had
' grown as weak as her body, so she
was no comfort to herself, anil was a
burden to everybody. '.There were
seven of us, sons and daughters, and
we'agreed to keep her among us year
G about, liiit I had more than mv
share of her, for she was too feeble
to be moved when my time was out,
and that was three months before she
died. But she was a good mother in
her day, and toiled hard to bring us
up.-;
W ithout looking at the fae of the
heartless man, I direct-id him to the
honie of a neighboring pastor, -and
returned to my nursery. I ga.ed on
the merrv little faees which smiled or
grew sad in imitition of mine those
little ones to whose ear no word in
our language is half as sweet as
"mother," and I

wondered if that

God forbid that I
should outlive the love of mv .
lil-
dren! leather let me die while my
heart is a part of theirs; that my
grave may be watered with their
tears, and my love linked with their
hones of heaven.
When the bell tolled for the moth
er's burial, I wont to the sanctuary to
pay my only token of respect to the
ged stranger, for I felt that I could
give her memory a tear, even though
her children h id none to shed.
"Slio was a good mother in her
day, and toiled hard to bring us all
up; she was no comfort 'to herself
and a burden to everybody else !"
The cruel heartless words rung in
qiov ears as I saw the cofiin borne up
the aisle. The bell tolled long and
loud until its iron tongue hit chron
icled the years of the toil worn moth
er. One, two, tine1, four, five. Ifow
clearly andalmost merilv each stroke
told of her once poavef.il sl im'o u- in
her mother's arms, and of her seat at
nightfall on her father's ku i. Six.
seven, eight, nine, ten, rang out the
CSale of her sports upon the green
sward, in the meadow, an I beside
the brook, rdeven, twelve, Hurt

and fourtteu.
her
S'.VIOOI
davs, and little household jovs and
cares. Sixteen, sevt-nt-'eii and d'.jht
e ui, sounded out the enraptured vis
ions of maidenhood and dreams of
early love. Nineteen, brought us be
fore the happy bride. Twenty, spoke
ot the young mother, whose heart
was full to bursting with the new
strong love which God had awakened
in her bosom. And then stroke after
stroke told of her early womanhood,
of the loves and cares, and hopes an I
fears, and toils through which she
passed during thos( long years till
-if t v rang out har.-.h ail loud. From
"that to sixty each stroke told of the
warm-hearted m ther and grand
mother, living over her own joys an 1
sorrows in those of le-r children and
children's children. Kvery family of
all the group wanted t lie grandmoth
er then, and the only strife was who
should seen re the prize?. But hark !
The bell tolls on, seventy, seventy
one, two. three, four. She begins to
?fow feeble; requires sm.v care; is
not always patient or sati-t'ed. She
goes from one child':; house to anoth
er, so that no placa. seems like home.
She murmurs in plainiive tones, that
after all her toil and weariness it is
?a.rd she cannot beallowed a home to
die in; that she must be sent, rather
than invited, from house to house.
Ih'ghtv, -ighty-one, two, three, four.
Ah ! She is a second ch il l, now. 'She
has outlived her usefulness; she has
now ceased to be a comfort to her
self or anybody." That is, she lias
ceased to be profitable to her earth
craving and money-grasping chil
dren. Now sounds out. reverbrating
through our lovely forest, and echo
ing back from our 'hill of the dead,'
eighty-nine. There she lies now. in
her cofiin, cold an 1 still. She makes
ho trouble now; demands no love, no
soft words, no tender little oiU.-es. A
look of patn-nt endurance we fan
cied also an expression of grief for
unrequited love sat on her nvirble
features. Her children were there,
clad in the wee Is of woe. and in iro
ny we remembered the strong man's
words. "Sire was a good mother in
her day."
When the bell ceased tolling the
strang? minister arose in the pulpit.
His form was very erect, and his
voice strong, but his hair was silvery
white. He read several passages of
O Scripture expressive of 1 l's com
passion to fetflde man. and especially
i . t - i i
ins tenaerness wuen r-iv n airs are
on him and his strength faileth. He
then mile vnc tou--hing rem irkson
hum x.i. frailty, and of dependence mi
God, urging all present to make
their peace with their m iker. while
in health, that they might claim his
promise when heart and tl sh failed
them. "Then the eternal God shall
f.e'thv refuge; beneath thee shall be
the everlasting arms." Trailing ov r
the "desk and .gazing intently at the
sotfaivd form before him, he then
n said, reverently :
" From a little child I have hon-
ored the nged:bnt never till grav
hairs covered mv own head did I
know truly how much love and sym
pathy this class have a right to de
mand of their fellow creatures. Now
T feel it. Our mother (he added
most tenderly ), who now lies iu death
before us. was a stranger to me. as
are all these, her defendants. All I
know of her is what her sons have
told me here to-day that she was
brought to this town from afar sixty
nine years ago, a happy bride; that
here she has passed mMt of her life,
toiling as only mothers ever have
strength to toil, until she has reared
a large family of sons and daught
ers; that she has left this home here,
clad in the weeds of widowhood, to
live among her children, until health
and strength left her. God forbid
that couoieuce should accuse any of
you of ingratitude or murmuring on
account of the care she has been to
you of late. When you go -back to
your homes be careful of your ex
ample before your children; for the
fruit of your own doing you will cer
tainly reap from them when you tot
ter on the brink of the grave. I en
treat you as a friend, as one who has
himself entered the evening of life,
that you may never say in the pres
ence of your families, nor of Heav
en: "Uitr mother had outlived her
usefulness; she was a burden to us.'
Never, never '. A mother can never
live so long as that. No; when she
can no longer labor for her children,
not yvt care for herself, she can fall
like a precious weight upon their bo
soms, and call forth, by her helpless
ness, all the noble and generous feel
ings of the human heart."
! "Uncle Bob," remarked a citizen
I of Dallas to an old negro who sells
milk, and who was complaining how
much his customers were indebted to
him, "you must adopt the cash sys
tem." Uncle Bob looked up over
his glasses, and with a quiet smile
and a dubious shake of the head, said:
"Now master, go 'way, go 'way.
Can't 'dopt cash system tchar da aiit

WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY.
THE WEEKLY SUN is too wid.-ly known
to require a ny extended recom mend.it ion :
but the reasons whi.'h have already jriven
it. liity thousand subscribers, and which
will, we hope.trive it many thous- ml more,
nr.' briefly as follows :
It is a first -rate lu-wspaper. All the news
of the day v ill lie lound in it, condensed
when unimportant, at lull h-njzth when of
moment, and always presented in a clear,
intelligible and interesting manner.
it is a first-rate tamily i iiix-r, lull of Inter
taining and instructive reading of every
kinl, but containing nothing that can of
fend the most delicate and scrupulous
taste.
It is a first-rate story paper. The' best
tales and romances ot" current literature
are carefully selected and legibly printed
in its ages.
It is a first-rate ngricn If ural l anrr. The
most fresh and instruct ive urtieh-s on agri
cultural topics regularly appear in thfs
department.
It is an iiulecndent political paper, be
longing to no party and wearing no collar
It tights for princi( le, and for the election
of the best men to ofliee. it especially de
votes its energies to the exposure of the
great corruptions that now weaken and
disgrace our country, and threaten to un
dermine republican institutions altogether
It has no fear of knaves, and asks nofavors
from their sup orters.
It rej orts the fashions for the ladies md
the markets for the men, especially the
aUVm7on.rk ,S, IO Which U paj 8 1 "rticular
Finally it is the cheapest paper publish
