O’er the mantel bangs a picture, And the glowing fire below Throws its light across the framework On a head as white as snow. ’Tis mj mother! and the firelight Plays around her sainted blow, While her ever gentle features Seem to smile upon me now. Often on a peaceful evening When all light from earth had fled, By the fire I sit so lonely Dreaming sweetly of the dead. For I know that when the icebergs On lifo’s ocean I have passed, And am calmly floating onward To that peaceful home at last. • I shall look beyond the waters, Where the landing-place will be, And my mother I’ll see waiting— Wailing thereto welcome me. —Constitution. WON'T NEED THEM ANY MORE. Some days ngo ft dissemiuatai of Chaff, noticed a little boot-black culling Homo bright blossoms Irom a bruised and faded boquet which a chambor maid had thrown irom a wiudow into the alley. “W hot are you doing with that boquet, iny lad?” asked tho dis seminator. “Nawthin’,” was the lad’s reply, as he kept ou at his work. “But do you love flowers so well that you are willing to pick them out of tho mud ?” “I a’nnf m;'*m .lain! o. J it CANTON, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY AN ANGEL'S TOUCH. One ovening, not long ngo, a little gill of nine or tou entered a place in which is a bakery, grocery and a saloon, in ono, and asked tor livo cents worth ol tea. “How is your mother ?” esked tho boy who came forward to wait on her. ‘‘Awful sick, and ain’t had any thing to oat all day 7 .’’ Tho boy was just then called te wait upon some men who entered tho saloon, and the girl sat down. In five minutes she was nodding and in seven she wns sound asleep and leaning her head ngsinst a barrel, whilo sho held her poor nickle in a tight grip between her thumb and fin ger. Ouo of tho mon saw her as ho came from tho bar, and after asking who she was, said: “Say 7 , you drunkards, soo here. Here we’ve been pouring down whisky when this poor child and her mother want bread. Here’s a two dollar bill tlmt says I've got some feeling left.” “And I can add a dollar,” observed ouo. “Aud I’ll give an- 0, * r 1 ,?, 1 ' - evatf'Voda, water fount, and they 1 hoy made up a purse of nil even J wt iafityUNOiu 5^|Tai certainly til five dollars, and ibespokomuu oare* fully put the bill between two of the sleeper’s fingers,drew the nicl* le away, and whispered to his com rades : “Jist look a-tliere—the gal’s dreaming f’ So she was. A big tear had rolled out from her closed eyelid, but the face was covered with a smile. The man walked overaad touched tllbsleep- none o' your'n “O, certainly, but you do not expect to sell those faded flowers?’’ “Soli ’em! who want’s to Bell ’em ? I’m goiti’ to take ’em to Lil.’ “0, 0, Lil is your sweetheart, I tee. 1 “No. Lil is not my sweetheart; she’s my sick si 'ter,’ s lid the hoy, us his eyes flashed aud his lips quivered. “Lil’s boon eick a long timo, an’ lately she talk’s nothin’ hut fl >wers an’birds, but mother tole me tins mornin’ that Lil would die b-b-be- lore the birds an’ flowers would come buck.” And the hoy hurst into tears. “Come with me to the florist’s, and your sister **<iall liuvo a nice boquet.” The little fellow was soon hound ing homo with his treasure. Next day he appeared aud sa'd : “I came to thank you, sir, for Lil. That boquet done her so much good, aud she hugged and hugged it till sho set herself a coughin’ again. She says Bhe’ll come bime by and wotk tor you soon’s she get’s well 7 ” Au order was sent to florist's to give tho boy every other day a bo quet for Lil. It was only tbe day before yes- torday that, the boot-black appear ed again. He stepped inside tbe door and said: “ 1 bank you sir, but Lil—Lil (tears were streaming from his eyes) wont—need—tho flowers any more.” He went quickly away, but briel words had told the story. Lil won’t need the flowers any more, but they will grow above her and the birds will sing around her just the same.

The revolver, according to a London paper, is iu nil probability dectinod to bo shortly discarded from uso in tho army, navy, Irish constabulary, and othor govern ment services iu favor of a new weapon, the mitraillous pistol, in which there are tour barrels, which are loaded at once by a patent quadruple cartridge big enough to afford good hold !o tho fingers. Forty shots per minute cau bo dis charged, and tho empty cartridges ejected automatically. As there is no opening through which uny gas can escape, tho weapon can bo used gun fashion when aiming, and there are no screws, hammers, or projections to catch the cloth ing, reins,or accoutrements.
