Barney Simmons one of our car penters have been promoted as our shoe boy while the shoe business is going on, we started on the house boys shoes first but we can not tell whose we will wind up on. THY MOTHER KATE HOGAN. Lead thy mother tenderly Down life’s steep decline; Once her arm was thy support, Now she leans on thine. See upon her loving face Those deep lines of care, Think—it was her toil for thee Left that record there. Ne’er forget her tireless watch Kept by day and night, Taking from her step the grace, From her eyes the light; Cherish well her faithful heart, Which through w^ary years Echoed with its sympathy, All thy smiles and tears. Thank God for thy mother’s love, Guard the priceless boon; For the bitter parting hour Cometh all to soon. When thy graceful tenderness Loses power to save, Earth will hold no dearer spot, Than thy mother’s grave. Sparks from the Anvil. (By Carl Self.) Fig Leaves from the Clothes Room. (By Paul Yarbray.)
