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.

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 •over each one of tb«m.

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.

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.
