WA1TIXG Fuji MOTHER.
The old man f iis in liis easy chair,
Slumbering tlie moments nvray,
Dreaming a dream that is all hii own,
On this gladsome, peaceful day;
His children have gathered from far and near
IIis children’s children beside—
And merry voices are echoing through
The “ Homestead's” hull so wide.
But far away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again ;
And his heart forgets that he ever knew
A shadow of grief and pain ;
he sees his wife as he saw her then—
A matron comely and fair,
With her children gathered ronnd his board,
And never a vacant chair.
Oh ! happy this dream ot the “ Auld Lan*
Sync.”
0! the years long slipped away !
And the old man’r lips have gathered a smile,
And hi* heart grows young and gay.
But a lvi. g fulls gently upon liis brow
From liis daughter’s lips so true ;
• 4 Dinner is ready, and, father dear,
We are only waiting fur you.”
The old man wakes at liis daughter’s call
And ho looks at the table near—
“There's one of us missing, my child,” he says,
“We will wait till mother is here.”
There are tears iu the eyes of his children
then,
As they gaze on an empty chair ;
For many a lonely year Id s passed
Since “ Mother” sat with them there.
But the old man pleads still wistfully :
“We must wait for mother, you know !”
And they lot him rest in his old arm chair
Till the snn at last sinks low;
Then, leaving a smile for the children here,
lie turn s from the earth away,
And lias gono to “ Mother” beyond the skies,
With the close of the quiet day.
His Iiaby W MS Dead,
The jolly conductor had boen laying
off for a few days, on account of sickness
at homo, but one day ho appeared brnlie- on
his train, looking pale, with and him tho for
mau who had run years,
knew the conductor’s mind was away at
ilia bedside of his sick baby. With
j.u no in hand, and liis heart in his
throat the conductor entered the smok¬
ing car, and said, “Tickets,” in a voice
not at all like its usual sound. It wii
more like an appeal the to baby tho Heavenly home.

Four drummers were sitting together in
two seats, all good friends of tho con¬

He was present in body, but his mind
was far away, and when ho put a check

they because thought he he did did it for a joke, but he it
was not know what

baby at home. Ho along, and a
lady with a little three year old girl was
next, n child just the ago of his sick

please the conductor to let the child
hand the ticket to him. and the lit! ■
one had the ticket in its fat hand, and
was shrinking hack behind its mamma,
frying to muster up courage to hand the
ticket to ttic big conductor, who lmd
often held her in his lap when she was
on his train, when ho would laugh so
hearty that tho child would l*c surprised,
and he would tell her of his little baby
at lioms. The child peeked around
mamma's shoulder, he and saw the con¬
ductor before saw her, and he looked
so changed and sad that the little one
opened her ticket eyes in wonder, ami hamhil
up tho carefully as though he
would bite, and when he saw her he
almost fainted, and wbeu she said,

The Lawyer’s Hotel.
Four years ago Mr. Harding, the dis¬
tinguished Philadelphia lawyer, was
stopping at a little hotel up here among
the clouds on the top of the Catskills.
Qne day he wante(1 boiled chicken, and
the proprietor why the chickens
were g0 healthy on top of the Catskills
_why he never saw any dc-ad ones.
<*jf y 0 u want broiled chicken 1 ,” said
mine host, indignantly, “you’d cooked.” 1 , better
build a hotel and have them
“Very well; I’ll do it,” said Mr Hard
ing. “I’ll have spring chickens if J
have to build a hotel and run it myself.’
The next day the rich Philadelphia
lawyer picked out a site on the top oJ
Catsk.ill Mountains, where he could sec
sixty miles of the Hudson River, with
Berkshire Hills beyond. Then he got
hold of some other rich men, formed a
company, and built the great hotel
Kaaterskill, the largest mountain hotel
iu the world. It has a thousand rooms,
and is in (he middle of a four thousand
acre park. The hotel was a success
from the first, and it is safe to say Mr.
Beach’s little healthy chicken now pays
Mr. Harding about $25,000 a year, Union
A. T. Stewart bought the old
Hotel in Saratoga through a freak and
ran it for fun.

After Three Days.
Mr. Charles TV. Mobbis, “Engle” office,
Pittsfield, Mass., writes, May “5,1883: “For
several months my wife’s mother precarious (Mrs. Amy
Boyce) had been in a very condi¬
tion with dropsy or Bright’s disease of the
kidneys, and having used all methods and
measures for her restoration in the line of
treatment by our leading physicians, and
having failed to benefit her, her family de¬
spaired of seeing her relieved, and gave her
up to die. Happening to run across the tes¬
timony of a Mrs. Dawley, who had been cured
of similar sickness by using Hunt’s and Remedy,
we at once procured a bottle of it, com¬ it
menced giving she it as directed. improved After that using she
tiiree days was so far
could get from her bed to her chair without
assistance (a circumstance tiiat had not hap
I ened for months). Previous to taking it
she was troubled more or less with short
breath, requiring a continuous fanning to
keep her alive. This gradually improved as
we continued the use of Hunt’s Remedy, and
on the fourth bottle she was able to set up all
day. She was bloated terribly in both limbs
and body upward to the lungs. The tenth
day the bloating left her bowels, and now she
is not swollen above the knees. Her kidneys
were very bad at the time, discharges sicken¬ being
of a bloody character and emitting the change a in her
ing odor. I can say that
case lias been wonderful, and Hunt’s Remedy
has worked a miraolo in her.”
