TO MY MOTHER.
The following beautiful and
touching poem, was written by
Col, lv s, \ Briant, of Logans
vil e, (Jo, , on the dou hos his moth
or, which occttred July, x 5, ’B6 ;
Sleep on dear one, iby work is
done!
Thy rest and joy is now begun;
Tos, labor's o'er, and trials past,
And victory crowns thy soul at
last.
For four score years, through heat
and could
Thy labor’s groat, ahd yet nniold
Were constant, faithful, good and
true,
Such only as dear tnofner’s do.
And yet no towering marble stand
To tuatk thelfttle spot of land,
Where sleeps the dearest of the
earth,
Mother—who g ive to me my birth.
But in my is raised on high,
A monument that reach tne sky,
And revels iu that happy clime,
Jn li oughts of Mother—name sub
lime !
'Tis built of love—love unalloid,
But not such love as was enjoyed
By me, the son of Mother—no!
But just such love as son can know!
'That love, I know, c«n never wane,
But while time lasts it will remain
To cheer me on my weary road,
And lead at last; I trust to Cod.
Oli! thoughts of past, how fast
they crowd
Upon my mind in sentence loud,
W hy plainly, yes, I nndeistand,
I feel the pressure of her hand.
For often on my n%’ hem/ she laid
That aear, dear hand of her’s and
prayed,
“Father of niercie* meek and mild
Save from siu my lender child.”
Oh! spirit of departed one,
Wilt thou visit still, thy son?
And often whisper in his ear
In time of trouble words of cheer ?
Yes, yes, I heai /hat whisper
now,
I fuel the tear blushed fioni my
brow,
1 feel ami know thy spirits near;
I joy in sorrow—strong in fear.
Great God, wilt, tnough not oonde
send
To lead me to my journeys end ?
And safely take my spirit home,
And safely take my spirit home ;
Aud house it high in Heaven’s
dome ?
Yes, I feel by faith assured,
That God will have my faith ma -
tured *
For that bright world where all is
light.
With Jfother. dear, to know no
night.

A CHOICE OF TITLES.
The next day after a man moved
into a town in Western Dakota the
Mayor calle-i upon him and said ;
“Just arrived from the East, I
hear t”
“Yes.”
“Believe your name is Jones ?”
“That’s it.”
“No title, I suppose?’
“None, 1 ’
“Of course you will want one
now, but I’ll just tell yon how that
is, we Aaven't got much to seiect
from. \Ve limited each title to
live persons, and we already have
rive Colonels, five Senator*, live
Governors, five Judges and so on,
Wo aren’t quite full of Majors and
Coramodoree, h nvevor, aud you
can take your choice.
“Well, if it is customary I be«
lievo I’ll take Major.”
“Alt right, Major. Come on
down to Judge Potts’ poker par- !
lors and 7’ll introduce you to Sen
ator Blow, General McCore and
others of oc r leading citizens.”
THE LAST ENTRY.
In one of the newly settled
counties of I akc(a the few resi
dents were fixing tip a political
slate so that all would have a place
at th- public crib.
“There,” said one, “I guess
about everybody has something
except old Tom Bellows.”
“Might make bun constable.”
“No, be ean’t reai/—couldn’t
serve a warrant.”
“Justice of the PeaceT”
“That won't do, because he
can’t write eit/ter. Guess the old
fellow will have to go hungry.’
“That won’t never work,” said
another: “he wiU throw his influ
ence against us. I shounl think
the scbool board was the place for
Tom ”
“Didn’t think of that. Put him
down for the best place ou the
board.”

BILL AND MUCH TROUBLE.
The foundation of three fourths
of all the cases of consumption is
laid before the age of 25 years; in
wotneu, during their teeLS.
The hereditary element m not of
special account as a cause’ of con
sumption, as less than 25 per cent,
of cases are clearly of consumpt
ive parentage.
One of tbe ruling causes of dis
euseund premature death in large
cities is found in that exhausting
-train of the menial energies in
the struggle for subsistence—a
death race for bread.
Insanity runs in families, but,
as in the case of family likeness, it
sometimes overlaps* a generation
or more
Personal resemblance emails
like characteristics of mind and
disposition.
A current of the purest air from
the poles for half an hour on u pei
son sleeping, sitting still, or over
heated, is u thousandfold more hex
structive of health and fatal to life
than the noisomeuess of a crowd
ed room or vehicle, of the stench
of a pig sty for thrice the time.
To exercise in weariness, in
cieased by every step, is not only
not beneficial, it is useless and
worse than useless; it is positively
destructive.
As no good travelei, after hav
ing fed his house, renews his jour
ney iu a trot, but with a slow
walk, gradually increasin'' his
pace, so in getting up to address
an assembly for a continued effoit
the first should be uttered in a
low, slow tone, gradually lutensi*
tied, otlierwi-e the voice will
bie.tk down iu a veiy few minutes
with coughing or hoarseness.
A growing inability to sleep in
sickness is ominous of a fatal re
sult; in apparent health it indica
tes the failure of the mind and
madness: so, on the otuer hand, iu
disease or dementia, a very slight
improvement in (he sleeping
should be hailed as the hart>inge»-
of restoration.
No one can possibly sink if the
bead is thrust entirely under wa
er, and in this position a novice
can swim, as easily as walk, and
get lo shore readily by lifting (lie
head at intervals for breath.
Intense thirst is satiated by
wading in water, or by keeping
the clothing saturated with water,
even if be taken frem tue sea.
Water cannot satisfy the thirst
whicu aiteLds ciiolera, dysentery,
d’arrhoea ond some ot' er forms of
disease; in fact, drinking colk wa
ter seems to increase the thirst
aud induce other disagreeable sen
sations; but this thirst will be p>ei
/ecily and pleasantly subdued by
eating a comparitevely small
amount of ice, swallowed in as
large pieces as praetible und as
much as is wanted.
Inflauiatious are more safely and
far more agreeably subdued by
the application of warm than cold
water.
Very excessive effort in a short
space of time, as in running or
jumping a rope, etc., has repeated
lv causod iustant death by apo
plexy of the lungs, the exercise
sending the blood there faster
than it can bo purified by the
more frequent brouthiug on su b
occasions.
£ o disease ever comes without
a warmug; hence endeavor to
think back for the cause, with a
j view to avoid it in the future, and
;on tiie instant of any unpleasant

A SHREWD STROKE OF

Ever smco District Attorney
Hillborn met with that accident
when he asked a Chinaman what a
10 cent cigar was, no has telt like
giving up smoking. And another
experience has just happened to
him which makes him afraid to
buy a cigar in case some joke will
aome out of it. He engaged a
new boy for his office—a young,
zealous, economical, bright boy,
whose whole sou! was devoted to
his muster’s seivice. Among the
boy’s duties was to go for oigurs
for the judge The other day the
boy was given half a dollar.
“Go out,’ said the judge, “to
’s and buy me four cigurs.four
for a half Ho knows what 1 get.
Ths boy started off and came
back presently, his face aglow with
pride and triumph. He had six
cigars. He humled them to the
judge.
“What are these T’
“I didn't go to ’s, sir. 1

six for a half.’

story, may perhaps discover why
