Of this love dream waking in your

Ot the quickened heart*i>eats when

Mother love will tell you what is best.
Voting man. undecided for the fu

Tell your mother all your doubts and
fears;
Tell her of your plnus and your am

Hopes upon whose failure or fruition
Rests t he happiness of future years.
Tell her when your heart is light with
gladness ;
Tell her when it bears a weight cf

When temptations, hard to fight be
set ;
Trusting her may save you vain re

For in you her own youth lives again
When you have a secret thateonftd

Will m ake you happier there is no

Who can so wisely help and guide you
Who’ll stand so faithfully be-ide you
As she whose stei dt'ast love will nev

“No,” said the lawyer, “I shan’t
press your claim agaihst that man;
you can get some one else to take
the case, or you can withdraw it,
just as you please.”
“Think there isn't any money in
it?’
“There won Id probably be some
money in it, but it would, as you
know, come from the sale of the
little house the man occupies and
calls “home” but 1 don’t want
to meddle with the matter any
how.”
“Go t frightened out of it, eh!’
“N \ I waan t frighten out of
it.”
“I suppose likely the old fellow
begged hard to be let off?”
“Well yes, he did.”
“And you caved, likely?”
“No, I didn’t skeak a word to
him,”
“Oh, he did all the talking, did
he*”
“Yes.”
“And you never said a single
word?”
“Not a wont.”
“What in /he creation did you
do?”
“I believe I shed a few tears.”
“And the old fellow begged you
hard, you say?”
“No, I didn’t say so; he didn't
speak c word to me.”
“Well, may I respectfully in
quire whom he did address in your
healing?”
“God Almighty.”
“Ah! Be took to praying, did
he?”
“Not for my benefit, in the least.
You see” —the lawyer crossed
bis right foot over his left knee,
and began stroaking his lower
leg up and down, as if to help
state his case concisely—“yes see,
1 found the little house easily
enough, and kuockeu on (he oute
door which stood ajar, bui Dobody
heard roe, so I stepped into the
I little had, and saw through the
crack of another door just ns oozy
a sitting room as there ever was.
“There on a bea, with her si'.ver
head way up high on the pillows,
was an old lady who looked for
, all the world just as my mother
did the last time I ever saw her
du earth. Well, 1 was light on
the point of kuockiDg, whe she
; said as clearly as could be; “ccmi
lather, uow begin, I’m all read”—-
and down ou his knees by her bed
side went an old white haired man,
still ol ler than his wife, I should
judge; and I couldn’t have knock
ed then for the life of me. Well,
he began; first ne reminded God
they were still His submissive
children, mother and he, and no
matter what He saw fit to bring
upon them they sbonldu t rebel
at Hia will! of course ’twas going
to be terrible hard for them to go
out homeless in their old age,
| specially with poor mother so sick
and helpless, but still tbey'ed seen
sadder thing than ever that would
be- //e reminded God in the
tu-xt place how different all might
have been if only oie of their boys
had been spared them: then his
voice kind of brake, uud a thin,
white hand stole from under the
coverlet and moved softly over
his snowy hair; then he went on
to repeat that nothing could be so
chap again as the parti.ig with
those three sons unless mo/lie r
and he should ba separated. l?ut
at last he fell to comforting him
self with the fact that the dear
Lord knew it was through no fault
of his «wn that mother atm he
were threatened with the loss Of
their dear little home, which
meant beggery aud (he almshouse
a place they prayed to be deliver
ed from entering, if it could b e
corsisteDt with Cod's will; and
then be fell to quoting multitudes
of promises concerning the suf»ty
oi those who put their trusts in
the Lord; yes, I should say he beg
ged hard; in fast, it was the most
thrilling pleu to which I ever list
ened; and at last le prayed for
(lon s blessing on those who were
nbont to demand justice” the
lawyer stroked his 'ower limb in
silence for a moment or two, then
continued, more slowly than ev
er
“And I—-believe—l d rather go
to thf poor house myself, to night
than to stain my heart and bands
with the blood of such a prosecu
tion as that.”
“Little afraid to defeat the old
man s prayer, eld queried the cl
ient.
“Bless your sou’, man you
could n defeat it? ’ roared the law
yer- “It dosen’t admit of defeat,
I tell you he left it all subject to
the will of U od; but he left no
doubt as to his wishes in the mat
ter; claimed that we were told to
make known our desires un'jo God
but of all the pleading I ever
heaid. that beat all. You see I
was taught tha/ kind of thing my
self in my childhood, and why I
was sent to hear that prayer I’m
sure I don’t know, but I hand the
case over ’’
“1 wiidi,’ said /he cilenl, twist
ing uneasi.y, “you hadnt” told me
t.l out the fellow’s prayer.”
“Why so ’’
“A ell I want the money con
founded.y the place would bring
but I was taught the Bible all
I straight when / was a youngster
and /’d hate to run counter to
such a harangue as that you tell
aDotr. I wish you hadn’t heard
a word of it; and another time I
wouldn’/ listen to petitions not in*
tended for your ears.”
Tlie lawyer smiled.
“My dear fellow,” he said, you're
wrong again; it was intended for
my ears, and yours, too, and God
A mighty intended it My olif
mothtr used to sing about Cod’s
moving in a mysterious way, I re
member.”
“Well my mother used to sing
it, too, said the claimant, as he
twisted his claim papers in bis fin
geis. “You can call in the morn
ing, if you like, and teli mother
and him the claim has been met. 1 -’

It may be doubted whether
Dr. Franklin’s services in the fields
of flcieuce and politics were of so
mneh importance to mankind ns
his precepts and practice of thrift
and economy. His life is most a
most impressive lllus 1 ration of
what may be accomplished by sys
teraic industry, self denial and
proper care for earnings.
Franklin was never mean, stingy
nor miserly. On the contrary lie
was philanvropist. who spent time
and money freely for advantage
of his fellow men, and whose be
nevolence was attested by many
gifts. What he did and what he
taught others to do, was to live
fiugally and temporally, work dili
gently and waste no money iu un
necessary purchases. His home
ly proverbs have passed into com
mon speech of the people. How
many hundreds of thousands of
do'lara ate saved from foolish ex
penditure in this country every
year by the rememberance of
Franklin’s advice to “never buy a
thing you don’t need becaus e
it is cheap ?”
A good many young meu —and
some old ones—are chiefly ambi
tions to be called “good fellows,”
They like the repnta ion of being
“open handed.” They are willing
to sacrifice a tithe or it may be a
quarter of their income every
week for what they call a good
time and the dubious approval of
a parcel of other mtn as foolish as
themselves.
Thrift should be a sort of every
day religion with a person of
small means or small income, and
this class includes ninety nine hu«
dredths of the men in Detroit. It
includes nearly every man who
works with bauds : nearly person
engaged in teaching of any kind
nii^teen-twentieths of those em
ployed in stores and other mer

quaters of those who are in
the professions called “learned

almost without exception, and, in

ought to drop a tear upon the

most of those who scatter as they

if he is worth having, will aim to
make constant additions to a per

A thriftless habit ought ought

among sensible people it is. It is
a manifest of selfishness —self in

to be condeinmed. In the lone

A politician and a quiet looking
person sat at a table in the Gris

night. The politician turned to
the una3siiming strnngei and ask
ed
“What do you think of the polit

“I have retired from politics. I
never discuss it any more.”
“Retired ? May I ask when ?”
“You man. I was out in Wy
oming a month ago. and a dozen
cowooys and myself were attempt
ing to discuss the merits of the
National candidates. I touched
upon the brilliant war record of
Logan, when a cow puncher six
feet five interrupted me by say
ing that it was a lie ; Logan rever
saw a battle but was horse thief
up in the Laramie country.”
“You denied it, of course.”
The modest gentleman laid
down his knife and fork, look a
long draught of coffee, wiped his
mouth, and then gazing loog and
earnestly at the politician, repli
ed :
“Stranger, if you should ever
