The poetry that head! our column thia weak
WHI touch a tender spot In many a heart The
worda have been act to music, and I had the
yltaanro ol hearing it rang once by that
rweet alngar, Bliaa, whoso voice wai peculiar
ly sympathetic; and with a aplended organ, a
very quiet chun k, aaeh word of the little gong
found ita way to the heart and many wera
the silent teara that fell, as the worda recalled
theacehea of childhood. Tho "trundle bid,”
the mother*! evening long and prayer, the
Heating and parting kiai always imprinted
upon her atorehonae such reminiscences. Any
thing connected with onr mother is dear to
our hearts. Many of tho scenes of childhood
fads away: brothers and sitter* reared under
tho same roof with th* tamo loving parent!
grow np and tope rata, thnir paths diverge in
different direction, and too often after a sopors-
tlon of yean they lose oven natural alfoetion
for each other, bat not to with their reeoUec*
tlon of home and mother. How often they re
call tome article of dree* that mother wore;
anything aitodated with her la treosnrei np.
I heard a gentleman once say one of the do
light* of hie childhood was tho privilege of
going through tho tap d rawer of hit mother’!
bureau, and often in after yean would hla
mind go back to "mother’* dnwor” and tho
treasures therein contained. Another, that
hebadalwaya determined, ahonld ho over
have children, there moat bo a blanket this?
»in tho boose fbr their especial use, fbr ho rw
membored how porfoctly.'easential his mother's
ahawl was to himaelf and brothers and aiaton
in all their piaya. Perfectly wore tho olonof
thia ihawi Used in hia mind, and often would
tho losing mother tako’ It from aronnd her
shoulders that hor children might uaa it in
th«r sports. It served tho glrla at a bed for
their dolls, or often tied np for a doll and
lined with loving care, or it aarved tho baya
to make a clrcna tent, and in many ways took
part in thair daily plays. And to a strain of
r soot, a dress, the. scent of a
ffowtr will recall the doar one who has long
since pasaed away. Let it encourage all who
are to bleated at to ho mothers, to remember
tho’ at times they may not teem to be appre
ciated now, than will come a time, when after
the iced are town and carefully uonriiho-1,
•ven tho’ the lower ha* gone to rest from her
labors, tho harvsat will come and
all that mother over did or said,
averythiog associated with her
will bo to thoso who chcrlshod her
memory as “apples of gold In pictures of
silver.’’ How careful thon ehonld a mother
.tooltherecolloctlona the bequeaths to hor
children. Patient, tolling mothers look op;
take courage and grow not weary, for yonr re
ward will come; for a loving mothar’a labors
an never lost. Her patient, tondor acta sad
loving worda cheer and comfort tba hearts of
htrchlldnn long after aha haa obeyed tho
summons, “come np higher.” Taira may paaa
away, homes may ta broken np, brothers and
slateta may bo almoat strangers to each other,
hat tbs memory of a mother never fades
away; it permeates onr very being and goto

Not long since there was quit# a craze
among onr readers on ths subject of "Boos leaf

I have rcclevcd tonight I am sure they would

Which Act Is It?
From The Christian.
The shrewdness which some people exhibit In
their endeavors to rob God and keep up a reputa
tion for generosity is quite remarkable. The Jour*
aal and Messenger furnishes the following illus
tration of a style of "systematic giving" which li
in spite none too rare;
A colored brother was explaining his system or
giving to the Lord. "Yai, sir," he said to the vis
itor, easing himself back on h!s spade, "I gibs do
truck off o’ one acre ebbery year to tho Lawd."
"Wai, that is a different question. Trails, de
sere changes moat ebbery season.'
“Howl thatr*
'•Why, in wet -—
land, and in de dry season
•f de whole plantation."
"In that case the Lord’s acre is the worst in the
whole farm: for in wet seasons It would be flooded,
and in dry times parched."
'•Jest so," rejoined the systematic giver. "yOu
don’t allow l'ie coin' to rob my family o! de best
acre I to got, did ye?"
And ro the colored brother went on with his
digging, with a self complacent smile which was a
rare indication that in heart and mind be was In
perfect harmony with some persons of higher
color, who csrve themselves first and the Lord af
terward; and who tako good care that whatever
misfortunes they meet with, or disadvantages they
labor under, tbe Lord's canso nrast bear the losi,
while they themselves pocket whatever gains there
