TO MY MOTHER,
How fair you are, mother!
Ah, though 'tU many a year
Since you were here,
Still do 1 see tour beauteous face,
Ami with the glow
Of your dark eyes coraeth a grace
Of long ago
So gentle, loo, my mother;
Just as of old, upon my brow.
Like benedictions now,
Faileth your dear baud s touch;
And still, as then,
A voice that glad* me overmuch
Cometh again,
lly fair and gentle mother!
How you loved me, mother,
I have not power to tell—
Knowing full well
That even in the rest above
It is your will
To watch aud guard me with your lova,
Loving me still
And, as of old, my mother,
I am content to be a child.
By mother’s love beguiied
Ft om all these other charms;
So, to the last,
W i m thy dear, protecting arms
Hold thou me fast.
My guardian angel, mother 1

THE STORY OF YIN LING,
There once lived in the city of Canton,
China, a poor family named Tszun. The
father had once owned many large and
prosperous rice fields throughout the
province of Quang Tung, but his grief
at the death of his wife had been so great
as to cause him to neglect all his busi
ness lor his opium pipe, and little by lit
tle all Lis possessions had been lost.
Now be was compelled to work almost
as a slave in one of the big fields which
had formerly belonged to him in order
to support his two children, Yin Ling, a
pretty dark eyed girl of 13 years, and hia
son, Ko .Juu, 5 years of age.
But the terrible appetite for the opium
often caused Tszun to neglect his two
little ones, and then gentle Yin Ling
would weave a bamboo mat and sell it
to one of the neighbors that her darling
little brother might not go hungry.
Yin Ling even cut a hole in the wall
between the two little rooms of their
homo so one lamp would give light to
both rooms, that her slender purse need
not be overtaxed.
Finally the little family became ao
poverty stricken that there were many,
many nights when the two children
sought their little bamboo mats and
crieil themselves to sleep for the want of
their supi>er of rice and tea; and, worse
than all, the opium had caused a terrible
change to come over Tszun, for he wae
no longer even kind to his babies. One
day he came to Yin Ling and told her
that he was going to take her away and
sell her. lie said he would have to do
it to save himself and little Ko Jou from
starvation.
Poor Yin Ling cried long and bitterly
all that night, but she knew that her
father's will must be done. The last
evening was a sad one for the little
family. Early in the evening Yin Ling
kissed Ko Jou while he was still asleep
and went away with her father to the
great city.
All day until nightfall they wandered
about tbo streets. Tszun at length
found a Tidoo general who paid 400
taels into bis grasping hand.
The general was the commander of
the troops of all southern China, and,
being a distant relative to the emperor,
Hein Fung, had influence with the im
perial family at Peldn. He was imme
diately fascinated with Yin Ling’s pret
ty face and modest actions, and took
her home to his wife as her special maid.
The general’s wife was greatly pleased
with her gift, and at once ordered a set
of pretty robes and gowns for her new
maid servant. She then put her in
charge of the private boudoir in which
she received all the distinguished ladies
who called upon her.
The sudden change from a life of
pinching poveity to one of luxury and
comfort brought out the gentle nature
and true disposition of Yin Ling as rap
idly ;ts a sun scorched lily renews life
under the cooling drops of a spring
shower.
Her hands became white and soft and
her amiability, as well as her radiant
face, soon became so noticeable that the
ladies of the household became attracted
to her and showered many gifts upon
her. .
The old general was especially delight
ed with her, and when a year had passed
he and his wife decided not to have Yin
Ling as a slave but as a daughter.
Yin Ling was summoned.
“Yin Ling,” said the general, “from
this day you are no longer to be a slave
in my household.”
The bright smile faded from the
maiden’s face and the tears gathered
Auicldy in her eyes. Trussing she
turned to go.
“Stay, Yin Ling,” cried the general.
"You must remain, not as my slave, but
as my daughter.’’
Yin Ling's face brightened, and smil
ing through her tears she ran to the gen
era! and fell sobbing on his breast. He
kissed her tenderly.
“You have made ine so happy,” said
she, “that 1 would gladly die for you.”
The delighted general bought a com
plete new outfit of gorgeous silk robes
for Yin LiBg and a special tutor was
provided to teach her how to read and
write, accomplishments enjoyed only by
daughters of high officials.
Being naturally intelligent Yin Ling
progressed rapidly in her studies and in
the mean time her newly adopted mother
and other ladies of the household had
not neglected her other accomplishments,
such as the embroidery of the fine golden
silk and the playing of the little two
stringed banjo.
At the age of 16 years Yin Ling was
known as one of the most beautiful
women in the nrovince of Quang Tung.
About this*time the venerable old
Tidoo general, on account of his age and
the great service he had been to the em
pire, was recalled to Pekin for promo
tion and honors as one of the heroes of
the great Tai Ping rebellion.
It was always customary for such dis
tinguished officials when they were to
receive new honors jo take to the em
peror some rare gift as a tokaa of their
respect and loyalty.
The general wanted to present to the
emperor something especially fine, but
he could not decide what it would be.
One day a happy thought flashed across
hi3 mind. And hia face, which had been
for some time clouded by deep thinking,
lighted into a bright smile. He called hia
wife and told her he thought he would
present Yin Ling to the emperor as hia
token.
“It i3 well,” said she; “what could be
more honorable for our little daughter
than a home in the imperial palace?”
When Yin Ling was told what was re
quired of her she smiled, but there was
a tinge of sadness in her face.
The thought of becoming a member
of the imperial family was a distinction
of which she had never dared to dream
“If it is your desire, father,” said she,
“I will go. My life and welfare are in
your hands.”
This answer pleased the general great
ly, and ho kissed his daughter affection
ately.
Preparations were immediately made
for the journey to Pekin, and early the
next morning Yin Ling entered her se
dan chair and was carried rapidiy away.
After a journey of nearly three months
ever big mountains and across many riv
ers the Tidoo and his party arrived at
the imperial palace. They were at once
admitted, and after the general had re
ceived his new honors he stepped for
ward and presented the beautiful Yin
Ling to the astonished emperor.
Hein Fnng was almost bewildered by
the wonderful grace and beauty of the
blushing maiden who stood before him.
The emperor was charmed with the
■ew addition to his household, notwith
standing the fact that he already had
seventy-three wives and many, many
children. But, strange to say, among
all the children there was not one boy.
Yin Ling was given an elegantly
decorated suit of apartments and named
by the emperor “Que Fay,” er “Exalted
Auxiliary.”
Two years later a son was born, and
the event was heralded throughout the
empire, as it was the first male child in
the entire household.
Yin Ling was his mother, and she was
immediately raised to the title of “Wong
Tai Ho,” or “August Empress.”
A few years after this she gave birth
to a second prince, and the entire king
dom rejoiced.
In the year 1865 the emperor Hein
Fung died, and his ?on Tung Chee, who
was but 5 years of age, ascended the
throne in the arms of his mother, Yin
Ling, who became at once empress re
gent.
Thus she continued conducting the
affairs of the great empire for twelve
years, when Tung Chee died.
Then her second son mounted the
throne with his mother, who again as
sumed the title of empress regent, as
the king was but 14 years of age.
Yin Ling decided to find some trace
of her family, and sent to the province
of Quang Tung special envoys to look
np her wretched relatives.
Tbe officer in charge of tha envoy
found that the father had died five years
after he had sold his daughter, and the
boy was now grown up and living some
where in the province.
It took the mandarins many weary
months before they conld get any trail
ef Ko Jon. He was at length found
working aa a farm hand in a small vil
lage.
Although a stalwart, flne looking fel
low, he was deplorably ignorant. When
he saw two handsomely dressed men
with long, black satin robes, heavily
jeweled, with strange shaped hats sur
mounted by big red coral buttons, and
great, gorgeous peacock feathers dan
gling at their sides, coming toward him,
he was terribly frightened and turned
and ran at the top of his speed. In a
few minutes a dozen fleet footed soldiers
had surrounded him, and he begged
piteously to be let go.
“What do you arrest me for?* he
asked. “I have done nothing wicked lor
years.”
Then one of the mandarins stepped
forward, knelt low to the ground, and
all the soldiers and guards did the same.
The mandariu finally arose and told Ko
Jou of his good fortune, and at once pre
pared him for a suitable appearance
that would become the uncle of an em
peror.
The meeting between the empress and
her only remaining relative was an af
fecting but a joyful one, and Yin Ling
ordered tbo entire city to celebrate for
two days.
Yin Ling at once ordered an annnal
salary of 500,600 taels ($750,000) to be
paid to Ko Jon, who received the title
of “Imperial Grand Uncle.” Ho was
also placed in the hands of experienced
tutors, and today is one of We leading
men in the empire.
Nor were the good old Tidoo general
and his family forgotten. They were
given apartments in the imperial palace,
where they are living today.
Yin Ling is now 45 years of age and
retains much of her youthful beauty.
And this is the trno story of the little
slave girl who has ruled China for the
past thirty years, aud let us hope will
continue to rule for thirty years to come.

Winter Weather.
When stems of elms may rise in rew.
Dark brown, from hillocks under snow,
And woods may reach as black os night,
By sloping fleldeof cleanest white;
If shooters by tbe snowy rick.
Where trees are high and wood is thick.
Can mark the tracks the game may prick,
They like the winter weather.
Or where may spread the gray blue sheet
Of ice, for skaters’ gliding feet,
That they uplift, from side to side,
Long yards, and sit them down to slide;
Of sliders, one that totters slack
Of limb, and one that’s on his back,
And ene upright that keeps his track.
Hare fun in winter weather.
When we at eight, in snow and gloom.
May seek some neighbor's lighted room.
Though snow may show no path before
The house, we still eon find the door.
And there, as rouod tbe brands may spread
The creeping fire ef cheery red,
Our feet from snow, from wind our bead.
Are worm in winter weather.
Wherever day may give our road.
By hills or hollows oversnowed.
By windy gaps or sheltered nooks.
Or bridged ice of frozen brooks.
Still may we all, as night may come,
Know where to find a peaceful home,
And glowing fire for fingers numb
With cold in winter weather.
—William Borneo.
A Kan of Many Wounds.
Henry Gibbs, who was shot through
the body Sunday night, is again able to
be out This man is a walking bullet
pouch. He is a man 51 years r^d, and
was born in Clay county, Kemucky.
Two years ago he moved to Jellico, and
since his residence there he has become
involved in many difficulties.
The first was with Thomas Cotton, who
shot him in the left ankle, the ball lodg
ing in the joint The second time he
was shot by Nathan Collins, the ball
taking effect in his left knee joint, and
remaining there. The third affray origi
nated at Cumberland Gap, when he was
ambushed by seven men. Colan Turner
shot Gibbs in the right side with two
loads of buckshot and birdshot. Over
200 shot have been picked from his side
and shoulder. At the same time A1
Cole shot him with a 44-calibre in the
right breast, the ball coming out under
the shoulder blade.
Gibbs got three of his wounds in this
battle—the fourth, fifth and sixth times
by Andy Griswold, one ball taking effect
in the right breast, another through the
right shoulder, and the third entering
his left thigh, and, ranging downward,
lodging in the fleshy part of the leg. The
sixth time was Sunday night, in a diffi
culty with Harry Broughton, who shot
him through the body, the ball entering
on the left side, and was cut from under
the skin on the right side. This laid
him up for seven days.
He has been cut fifteen times, and
carries the scars to prove his assertion.
He does not seem any the worse for his
wounds, and talks in a joking manner
about his many shooting and cutting
affrays.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Pre-Raphael! t ism.
Pre-Raphaelilism was a literary rather
than an artistic movement. It was an
echo of the influence of Wordsworth
and Coleridge, of the Tractarian move
ment, and of the Gothic revival. It was
a manifestation of certain moral and
philosophical preoccupations that have
little in common with the permanent
acceptation of art We might even go
further and say that Rossetti and Burne-
Jones are great artists not because they
were pre-Raphaelites, but in spite of
pre-Raphaelitism.—Theodore Child in
Harper's.
It is stated that primary batteries are
no longer used for telegraphic service

Vicissitudes of a Spend thrift.
Twenty years ago William Dodsworth,
a wealthy citizen of Ohio, married a
Hamilton, O., heiress, and arranged to
6pend the honeymoon in the east. In
stead of taking a train the happy groom
arranged for relays of coaches between
Hamilton and the City of Brotherly
Love. The affair was Silked of all over
the country, and reports of the novel
trip published in the newspapers of thi»
country and Europe. The groom cre
ated a furor by spending money lav
ishly, and lighting $1 cigars with $5 and
$10 bills.
The other morning the happy groom
of twenty years ago was a prisoner on
the yellow bench in the police court on
a charge of disorderly conduct. He was
fined $5 and costs, and for want of one
of the bills with which he formerly
lighted his cigars he was sent to the
workhouse. — Cincinnati Cor. Chatta

Twt Lire* Savtd by a Spiles.
Mrs. Fred Robinson, a farmer’s wife,
was coming to town today on the track
of the Lake Erie and Western, wheeling
her baby carriage. She was about half
way across the long and very high trestle
spanning Sugar creek, jnet west of town,
when she saw a train coming around a
curve near the trestle at high speed.
Mrs. Robinson, clasping her baby in her
arms, in her fright leaped from the
trestle and would have been crashed to
death upon the ground below had not
her dress caught upon a spike. She,
with her baby in her arms, hung sus
pended in the air till the train was
stopped and they were removed from
their perilous position.—Bloomington
(Ilia.) Cor. Chicago Herald.
H.w a Kan Panl;md His Ann.
C. Hagermann, a resident of Morris-
ville, has lost the use of his right hand
in a singular manner. He went to bed
as usual one night a week ago, and fell
asleep with his right hand under his
head. On awakening in the morning he
could not raise his arm. It was par
alyzed, and all efforts thus far to put the
blood in circulation have failed. It is
thought it will be months before he will
be able to use his hand again.—Philadel
phia Record.
An increase of 296 national banks in

I The French Navy.
France is the slowest shipbuilder
among the naval powers. The frequent
changes in the head of the French naval
j department have brought in officers (the
j French minister of marine is always a
| naval officer) of widely different views.
I Work on vessels not embodying the
ideas of a new chief was stopped npon
his assuming control of affairs and await
ed the coming of another man. A fair
j sample of this is the Courbet, formerly
; called the Fondroyant. This vessel,
I laid down in 1876, was completed in
1886. The Magenta, the Charles Mar
tel and the Brennus were laid down
Beven or eight years ago- The Magenta
is the only one of the three that has even
yet been launched.
The present French building pro
gramme calls for ten first class battle
ships. If they are completed by 1900
France will have broken all her previous
records. Three were to be laid down
during 1890. A sudden change in the
naval administration may postpone their
completion indefinitely.
The latest additions to the French
navy are the Marceau and the Neptune,
the Magenta, just launched, and the
Hoche, which has been completed abont
a year. The latter vessel differs from
the other three in several essential
points, bnt the changes were introduced
in building. They were laid down from
the same designs. A good idea of the
Magenta, Marceau, Neptune class may
be obtained from the following list of
their features;
Their length is 330 feet, beam 65},
feet draught 28 feet, displacement 10,580
tons. The armor consists of a complete
water line bolt of 17} inches maximmn
thickness, and four barbette gun towers
of 15} inches. The battery is 4 13.4 inch
breech loading rifled guns and 17 5.5
inch rapid fire gnus. Their estimated
speed is 174 knots and coal capacity 600
tons. These three ships were all laid
down in 1880, and as none is yet actually
complete, they are additional examples
of the slow ship construction in th®
French navy.—New York Herald.
Petty Shoplifters.
Shopping seems to be as brisk this
year as it was last. The large shops tip
town have been crowded almost every
day in tbe past week, and the extent of
the buying does not suggest any unusual
scarcity of money. Most of the great
emporiums find Jt necessary in the holi
day season *to double and sometimes
treble their detective forces. “It is am
ateur shoplifting that causes us the most
trouble,” explained the chief detective
in an extensive establishment in Twenty-
third street. “We know nearly all of
the professionals and can spot them at
the door, but there are a large number
of women who come in here without the
slightest intention of stealing, but who
yield to the temptation to pick up little
things that happen to please their fancy.
“They see lots of pretty articles scat
tered about loosely and apparently un
watched, aud almost unconsciously they
commit petty thefts. Such women, 1
presume, do not realize that they are
stealing, and there are instances con
stantly occurring where their consciences
compel them to return the pilfered arti
cles anonymously. Arrests, did you
say? No; we seldom cause an arrest to
be made. It is the policy of our firm to
avoid scenes and scandals. When we
detect any person in the act of stealing,
a quiet word is generally all that is
necessary to secure the returii of the
stolen article, and an ‘amateur shop
lifter’ is not likely to repeat the offense
after having once been found out.”—
New York Times.
Th* Ailments of Royalty.
Of late there have been some sinister
rumors concerning the health of the
Prince of Wales’ eldest son, and every
one knows how strongly insanity pre
vails in the house of Brunswick. The
other day the czar’s uncle went raving
mad at the autumn maneuvers, and the
czar himself is suffering from some mys
terious nervous complaint. From Ger
many again we hear of a return of the
chronic illness which afflicts the young
emperor and threatens to bring him early
to the grave. The practical separation
of the emperor and empress of Austria
is a proof of the unhealthiness of the
Hapsburgs.
We know at what an early age King
Alfonso of Spain died, and that his little
son is very delicate, and was a short
time ago 60 desperately ill that every
one despaired of saving his life. The
present sultan reigns only because the
rightful heir to the Turkish throne is in
a madhouse. Alone among the import
ant European monarchs King Humbert
of Italy can boast of sound health. On
the other hand, his position on the throne
is anything but secure.—London Cor.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
Died of a Blue Gummed Negro's Bite.
Henry Farguson, of La Grange. Ga.,
colored, died the other day from the
effects of a bite on the hand three
months ago by Joe Strozier. Blood
poisoning ensued and he could get no
relief. The negroes claim that Strozier
is a blue gummed negro, and they regard
a bite from one of that kind as poison
ous as that of a rattlesnake. Very few
negroes would have anything to do with
his burial on account of their supersti
tious fears in regard to a death of this
character.—Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
