I’VE NO MOTHER, NOW, I’M
WEEPING.
rv4> no mother mm', !'m weeping,
She i»HH left me here Hloiie,
She beneath the noil is sleeping,
Now there is no joy at home,
Tears «f sorrow long have started,
Her bright Kiuiles no more I’ll see,
Alt the loved .ones loo liave parted,
Whore ! Oh Where ! w joy for me f
Cho.—Weeping lonely, she has left me here
. Weeping, lonely for my motlier dear.
Ah, how well do I remember,
“Take tills little flower,” said she,
“And when with the dead I’m mimbored,
l*laee it at my grave for me."
Dearest mother I am sigliiiig,
On thy tomb I’ll dro]) a tear,
Others, ton arc round mo dying,
Now, I feel so lonely here.
Cho.—■
IVe no motlier now. I'm weeping,
'I'eara my furrowed elieeks now lave,
While iny lonely watch I'm keejiing,
O’er her sad and silent grave.
Soon, I hope will be our meeting,
Then the gladness none can tell,
Who, for me, will then be weeping,
When I bid thewofbl fare-well?

A WOKD FOR BOYS.
A ^correspondent of “Colmou’s
Hui'al AVorld” advises country
boys to stick to the farm by 'i]l
means, assuring them that tliero
is twice the indejiendence in
farming that there is in any otirer
tiude or pnifession. Don’t be
lieve, lie says, because you go to
town or the city and see boys
dressed finer than you, witli faces
winter and smoother than yours,
that they are better off Farmers’
bo}’s liave more trii-e pleasure, as
a rule, tliat town boys. You may
have to work hard, but so you
would if you Avei’e a city clerk ;
tliei'c is no easy place to a boy or
man who exjiccts, or has the am
bition, to make a mark in the
world.
Again, do not imagine, because
tiovn boys smoke or (diew tobacco,
tliat it is manly, lor it is not; it is
a low filthy habit, and one which
almost every one will condemn—
and even men wlio have folloived
the habit for years, will tell you
they would ((uit it if they could.
Hoys sometimes imagine that if
tliey c-iuld only leai'ii to smoke
or chew, they would be men im-
modiateh'; but how sick they
must first make themselves in or
der to become slaves to a dirty,
filthy habit. It is far more manly
{ind lionorable to lie able to say,
“I never bad a chew of tobac.co
in my mouth nor a pipe or cigar
hetwoon nn- teeth the same in
reference to drinking intoxicating
li([UOrs of all kinds. Farmer.^’
boys, if yon would bo men, let.
stich things alone. Fine clothes
and a cigar, or a glass of liquor,
do not make *flic man, for the
veriesi villain on eartli may have
them ; but lie cannot have integ
rity ami lionesty, wliich in many
cases is found in the meanest rags.
He men, aiid true at that; but to
be such you need iiovcr have to
be seen in a saloon, nor need
you smoke or chew tobixcco.
ITkavkn.—Did wo hear of a
country in this world where we
might live in continual felicity,
without toil or sickness, or grief,
or fear, who would not wish to be
tlierc, tliougli the passage wei'c
troublesome ? Have we not
heard enough of heaven to
allure ns thitlicr ; or is the credit
of et.emHl tmth suspected by us ?
Are God’s own reports of the fu
ture glory unworthy of our belief
or ^regard ? How many, upon
the credit of his word, are gone
already trynmphantly into glory;
who only seeing the promises afar
off, were ])ersuadocl of them, and
embraced them.—lloive.
