’‘The city of A and the city of B.” Borne*
times when I feel aad and do not with to feel
otherwise, it la * comfort to mingle with the
thoughts of otheHrtrbo have been aad before
me. It ia a good aign for a man or a woman
to appear happy whether they are or not.
8olemn faces are poor company, and. aad ones
are unwelcome, but sometimes when we are
all alone we can indulge ourselves in a kind
of tranquil melancholy that doeaus good,
was In that mood tonight and so I opened my
table drawer and drew from it some of the
treasures that I keep in store for such occas
ions. It waa not the “Tale of Two Cities” by
Dickens, for that would bring no comfort now,
but it waa the two cities that Bleckley wrote
about—the city of A and the city of B, a beau
tiful little poem of thought that no one could
have written to well aa Logan E. Bleckley. It

Mr*. Green (counts on her fingers—I got

they not ? Will the government we live under
stand sure with its liberty and ita blessings,
and protect our children and our children’s
children, or will corruption and the love of
n’atumon undermine and destroy it, and our
offsprings become the prey aud the slaves of
tyrants? God knoweth.
As 1 looked around upon my mother's off
springs aud counted all, both present aud ab
sent, 1 ruminated over the possibilities of pop
ulation. It'ls a curious problem. I have now
in mind an aged couple who still live to over*
look and bleu more than one hundred and
fifty descendants. How it honors and dignl
and now upon the four generations that sur
round them here in their adopted land. I
have heard of a woman in South Carolina
ho was married when sixteen yean of
pe, and had twelve children, when ahe waa
bitty-five, and died when she was one hun
dred and four, and it was said that she had,
when she died, over one thousand descend
ants. This was not only possible, but proba
ble. and If her children and those who came
after, were equally fruitful, the number would
have been three thousand, instead of one.
Almost any school boy can do the sum. But
inch is not life as we find it. If it were so,
the world could not long contain ita people or
givejhem standing room. A thousand to one
in a century is more than mother earth
could long sustain, and would
soon precipitate that new heaven and new
earth which will surely come. The city of A
is lively and that growing fUU. The city of
takea little room for Ita
well, for if the dead requii
the living, the whole earth would be a char
nel house. If ell the millions who hare died
in the ages past were given a separate grave
upon its surface, it would be but a step from
ont to another now. Ten feet square would

philosopher, the poet, thefri* of humanity,
who always meeta you with kindly smile,

poetry of life and of death a . l to teach ua les
sons we should learn Lutfain would not.
Our mother la dead; and I know your readers
will forgive ma for • •
gave me birth, and
me all the days of my life. For many day> we
have lingered and waited aud watched. It
teems now like she has gone on a long jour
ney, and her farewell waa aad and solemn and
m eet. The last head of our house has gone—
the good shepherdess whose (lock have so long
loved to hear her voice and listen to her coun
sels. Three score descendants live to call
her blessed, and most of them were near to
comfort her in the last hours. As they
gathered around her bedside how lovingly she
whispered, "good children, dear children, how
good you have all been to me," and then her
lips moved in silent prayer for the blessing of
God upon her oflkpnng. Flitful]y her mind
wandered from earth to heaven and heaven to
earth. One time we heard her aa inn whis
pered dream repeating the Lord’s prayer.
"Our Father which art in heaven—with
trembling utterance she recited the familiar
words, and her voice weakened and lingered
as she said, "forgive us, forgive us our trea
ties,” and then for a moment paused and
gan again, "forgive—us—our— trespasses."
Too weak, too faint, she seemed to wait for
‘ sip, and the prayer was finished for her.
What a mystery is memory. When on the
very vergo of death how proudly it returns to
the ioys and the loves of youthful days. The
aged one becomes young again. Our good
mother would sometimes forget that we were
tnoar sixty years ago. Gently
talk to her babe
it to her bosom
eep. Her eyes were closed,
hut perhaps she saw her child—who knows?
Again, she saw, or thought she saw, a Utile
grandchild by her bed, another infant from
the spirit land, and called her with loving
nsmea. She communed with the lovod ones
who had gone before, and they comforted her.
And so from day to day, and night to night,
she lingered between the living and the <' *
If mortals are ever ministered unto as „
near the dark river; if angels meet them
at tho shore; If such an escort—such a com
fort—ia vouchsafed to any, it is to tho
loving long faithful mothers, whoso children
have gone before. Fathers mav forget and tho
love of brothers and sisters grow cold to tho
dead, hut a mother’s never. Her oflknrii
part of her life, and by day and by night i
no one knoweth sweet memory steals away to
the child that once nestled in her borom and
looked lovingly in her eyes. Blessings on tho
good mothers of the land, for thero arc thou
sands of them, thousands who live and love
and cherish, who hnve suffered and wept and
still were strong—strong iu faith aud hope
and charity. When a great soldier
