MOTHER'S WAY
I
-o—
Oft within our little cottage,
As tre shadows gently fall.
Whiltj the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall,
Do we gather close together.
And in hushed and tender tone,
Ask each other’s full forgi vness
Foijthe wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder why th a custom
At the ending of the day,
Eye and voice would quickly answer,
“ It was our mother’s way !”
If our home be bright and cheery,
If it hold a welcome true,
Opening wide its doors of greeting
To the many—not the few;
If we share our father’s bounty
W ith the needy day by day,
’Tis because our hearts remember
This was ever mother’s way.
Sometimes, when our beauts grow weary,
Or our task seems very long,
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right alt wrong,
Then we gain a new fresh courage,
As we rise to proudly say,
“Let us do our duty bravely—
This was our dear mother’s way.”
#
Thus we keep her memory precious,
While we never cease to pray
* That at last, when lengthening shadows
Mark the evening of life’s decay,
They may find us waiting calmly
To go home our mother’s way.
The Indianapolis N\>ws tells its read
era tbat the Moffett bell spun ch ‘‘taxes no
industry.’ But it does. When a poor
devil has but ten cents with which to
pay for a drink, and the punch compels
him to pay fifteen, the tax on the indus¬
try necessary to raise the extra niekle is
oppressive.
The Republican organs have all agreed

The Bridgeport Farmer thinks the di
vulgernent of the facts ot the Florida
electoral count maybe “the beginning of
the end” of the Fraudulent Administras
tion. Certainly, says the Farmer, the
o nfvssion of McLin and Demis afford
an excellent foundation for Congreesion
al action, and will doubtless lead to a rex
vocation by certain Democratic Con¬
gressmen of their hostility to a reopen¬
ing and investigation of the great fraud
by which Hayes was elected.
An Illinois small-boy disc’oses how
some red hair came to be found on two

tremendous domestic tempest, lie says:

old Brown’s coats ; I kep’ a puttin’ <^f it

they went home Smith, he is solemns
aoowl, and old Brown looks as if he was

GRACEFUL SPEECH.
The value to a young lady, of a copi¬

They were sitting together, and he

Godfrey Prime was a very rich and suc¬
cessful merchant.
He bad do wife, and but one child— a
daughter—whom he adored, and upon
whom it was delighted to lavish every¬
thing she asked for, if money wirald buy
t.
Annis Prime was very beautiful, and
she was beside, a girl of considerable
sense; too mush, indeed, to be easily sat¬
isfied in her choice of a husband.
She had many suitors, but noue of them
suited her.
One day the merchant came home ,to
his splendid mansion, looking like a ghost,
he was so pale. His hair had grown sev¬
eral degrees whiter since he went away
in the morning.
Going to his private room, he locked
the door and loaded his pistol.
‘If I kill myself,’ be said, ‘Annis will
be obliged to marry some one of her rich
admirers, because she wi.l have no home
without. I could never endure to live,
and Ree her suffer the miseries of a pov¬
erty which her rearing has so illy fitted
hei to bea r ,’
Then he took the pistol in his hand,
looked at it calmly,
‘Shall I blow out my brains, or shoot
myself through the heart?’ he said.
‘You will do neither, if you please, p a
pV said Annis herself comraing forward
from behind the curtain of a window io
which she had been sitting ever since he
entered the room. ‘What is the mat¬
ter ? Why do you wish to kill your¬
self ?’
‘Annis,’ said the merchant, sadly, ‘ev
e, ‘ sinte 3 our moth er died I have lived
only for you. Ad I cared to get wealth
for, was for yon. But of late I have been
unfortunate. 1 stand to-day on the verge
G f bankruptcy.’
‘Well, I am sure that is bad enough,
without your killing yourself,’ said Au
n i s< ‘Do you imagine, oh, foolish papa!
that aU the riches of the world could
make up to me the loss ot you ?’
The merchant started, and looked down
as if ash'amed. Then he opened his arms
wide, and his daughter flew iuto them.
‘Promise me this moment, papa,’ she
said ‘ ‘ t,,at ? ou wil1 never ’ never think of
s " oh a kicked thing again V
‘My darling,’answered the merchant,
with emotion,‘I never will 1 ]Sow you
mu8 ^ make me a promise. I can stem
the tide, I think, a month longer—possi*
bly six-weeks. I should not care, for
myself, how soon the crash came, it' 1
could see you provided for. Will you
not, in that time, choose yourself a hus
baud from all those who are so anxious
lo marry you *’
Annis made a face. Then, seeing
how anxious her father looked, she
said :
‘I’ll honestly try, papa. But whoever
I choose must know the truth about your
affaire before 1 will marry him.’
‘Certrinly,’ said her father: ‘but 1 am
sure it wiil make no difference. You
are too sweet and beautiful to be loved
for any thing but yourself.’
Upon the following evening, when An
nis received company, she raide a careful
toilet.
She was a black-eyed blonde, and she
wore a pale green tissue of silk, looped
with water-lilies in her yellow, floating
hair.
She looked a siren; but no siren was

When the month was uearly up, dux
ring which the merchant, while he
waited anxiously, said nothing, Annis
spoke.
‘Papa,’ she said, ‘you are worth a doz¬
en of them. I had rather live in poverty
with you than in affluence with one ot
them.’
* X ou don’t know what poverty is,’ said
her father, gloomily.
‘But I have a euriosity to know,* said
thedaughter, bravely. ‘Be a good papa
now, and don’t tease me. I am sure you
can save enough out of the wreek to fur-*
niih two rooms, and cook has been giv¬
ing me lessons. Won’t it be fan ?
The rained merchant sighed, bat he
wss not altogether displeased.
tWO DOLLARS Per i&fum
The girl had such a sweet and coaxing
voice—she looked at him so loyiDgly
and he was in the habit of giving her
whatever she wanted. So the end of it
was that he let her do as she liked in
this.
Godfrey Prime saved nothing from
the wreck. He was an honerable man,
and gave up everything to his creditors,
even his daughter's many and costly or
namenls—with her consent, too.
But even then all was not paid, and
humble as Was the home to which the
pair betook themselves, the saddest
thought that entered there was that a
dollar remained unpaid against the name
of Prime.
‘It must be paid somehow,’ said Ari
nis. ‘Oh, if there was only anything
great, anything grand, that I could do !
It is a shame there is not, after all you
have laid out on me. papa. Why, I am
the worst investment you have made, I
do believe. Help me to think if there is
no way in which I can earn to
make you even with the world agaiu, I
could not be an artist, for though you
paid ray drawing-master such fabulous
suras, I am sure if I were to sketch you
something, you would be able to distinx
gulsh that it bad four legs and a head,
and that would be all. I never could
make any difference, on paper, between a
hoise’s head and a dogV. I don’t think
I should ever succeed as an aettess, and
though I have a tolerable voice, I should
be so frightened, if I were to try to sing
in public, that I could not utter a note.’
‘Ah, my child,’ said the father, ‘if you
had only married some one ot those rich
admirers of yours!'
Annis laughed.
‘U hat is the use of saying that, pana?
Not one of them has been near us since
your failure. I always suspected their
devotiou was not to be' trusted. But if
one of them did care enough for me to
come forward now, and offer to pay
ihese dreadful debts, 1 believe I should
fall in love with him out of sheer grati¬
tude. I would marry a clod, to see your
name cl^ar of debt.’
The father and daughter had come out
fer a short walk at evenirg, and neither
of them noticed that, as Annis said these
words, a gentleman, who had been walk
ing behind them, passed them slowly,
with a lingering glance into the girl’s
beautiful face.
Some days passe.d and then a very
queer letter came to Annis Prime. It
read:
‘Deer Miss: i hav wacbt you offeu
when yu didunt no it, i hurd what you
sed too yure fothur abowt marium enny
wun hoo kood pa hiz dets. i kan dooit,
und if yule hav me, i will, ime a clod,
but ive got the munnv. Ware a wred
roze in youre hare, when yn go oat too
wauk the nex tyme. it yon aksep, and the
jent that givs you a bokay will be mee.
Clod.’
Annis spelled out this strange epistle
with some difficulty, lov it was misevably
written, aside from the spelling, Then
she showed it to her father, aud laughed
till she cned.
‘He spells rose with a *z’ and red with
a ‘w, But I think I shall ‘aksep,’ papa,
if yon don’t object just for the sake ot
the ‘bokay.’ You’ll be with me, you
know,’
Accordingly, the merry girl, when she
went to walk that night, wore a red rose
coquettishly below one ear, where its
crirnsom and velvet beauty brought out
the golden tint of her matchless hairrav
ishiugly.
Her father Jwaswith her. They had
not been walking long, before they no¬
ticed approaching them, the strangest
specimen ot humanity either had ever
beheld.
He was tall, and awkward in his move¬
ments ; h : s hair hung long and straight
upon his shoulders. He wore a very
broadxbrimraed slouch hat of,soft felt, a
red neckxtie, a blue vest, a swallow-tail
coat, and plaid unmentionables, with
patent-leather boots, narrow of toes and
high of heels. In one hand he carried
bouquet, which he held at arm’s length,
as if it were something explosive.
‘Here he really is, papa,’ said Aanis,
with a smothered laugh. Now be sure
you are civil to him.’
She accepted the bouquet which the
stranger proffered her smilingly, and her
father politely invited him to go home
with them, which he did.
Annis noticed, with some surprise, that
her bouquet was made up in exquisite
taste. But that she attributed to the
florist of whom the ‘clod’ had probably
purchased it.
But what surprised her most was to
find, when the evening was over, and the
strange guest had departed, how mu h
she had really enjoyed it. In spite of
bis oddities and awkwardness, the ‘clod’
had contrived to be interesting.
NO. 2 d
‘lie has fine eyes and good featuies,
papa,’ she said; ‘and if he would cut bis
hair, and dress with some regard to taste,
he would please me better than any of
those others whom you would have liked
me to marry, arid who I am sure would
every one have instantly withdrawn their
suits had they known the condition of
your affairs. I wouder if he is really so
rich as he says V
‘Have no anxiety aborit tb’e money,
said God Fey Prime, to his danghter, afx
ter a few days. ‘The fellow has come most
unexpectedly into an immense fortune.
He could pay my debts and set me tip in
business again, it he chose, without miss¬
ing the money. And he stands ready to
do it, if you sin marry him.'
‘I am ready,’ said Annis. gaily. ‘My
heart warms to him already,’
The marriage took place soon.
The merchant #as reinstated
business, and in a grander and more ,
flourishing mannet than before,
The splendid residence which he and
his daughter had inhabited before his
bankruptcy was repurchased, and refur¬
nished in tne most riiagftifirOerit ra'ariner.
Only otfe thing troubled Annis. Her
‘clod’ remained a ‘clod,’ do what she
would. All her efforts—'hough she had
made him cut his hair and banishhis rain*
bow suit—could not make him any diff«
erect from what he was at first.
But he was devoted to her; and be*
cause of his riches, everybody courtrid
him. His fery a (vk wardness became the f
fashion, and his most ungrammatical
speeches were passed from tongue to
tongue, as profoundest wit.
Besides all this, he had a good heart,
so much genuine kiudness of disposition*
being always friady to succor the unfor¬
tunate, and he loved her so well that An¬
nis could not help loving him in re
turn.
‘Dear Clod,’ she said to him, one day*
despairingly, when, in spite ot all her in¬
structions, he would flame out in a fancy
neextie, aud persisted in saying *hainV 3
for ‘have not’—‘dear Clod, you are too
stupid for belief; but somehow, I can’t
help loving you, in spite cf that.’
The ‘clod’ smiled and kissed her.
‘I have been stupid,’ be said, ‘and you
have been more patient than I deserved.
But from this hour you shall see a change
in me.’
Annis laughed indulgently. She had
resigned herself to see him always a
‘clod.’
But, to her amazement, that evening,
when her parlors were filled with the
elite and fashionable of the city, her bus*
band presented himself attired in exquis¬
ite taste, and so altered in every other
respect that only the eyes of love could
have traced in this elegant gentleman
any of the characteristics of the ‘clod.’
Everybody started, and Annis, under,
standing at last that he had been playing
a pas t, was grieved and offended.
‘How could you, sir?’ she asked hint
reproachfully, ‘I don’t know how I carl
ever forgive you !’
Her husband laughed in her face fa-
guishly.
‘I’d do it again lor the same reward;
and if you don’t forgive me I’ll go back
and be a clod the rest of my days.’
The threat was sufficient.
The Mystery of the Seven Skele¬
tons. —A cave has been discovered on
the farm of Mr. Henry O’Brien, of Ly¬
on couuty, Kentucky. The cave is in
ihe high bluffs that overlook the Tenon
essee river. Mr. O’Brien and his neigh¬
bors explored in the other day, and they
were horrified to find seven skeletons
tenanting the darkness. Judging from
their surroundings, and the fact that the
mouth of the room in which they were
found had been almost entirely obstruc¬
ted by debris, which must have been
many years in accumulating, it is proba ¬
