W.M. Cahts, Druggist,
Arait not my friend until I'm gone,
To praise and call me dear,
And chant in glowiug terms my worth,
But tell me while I'm here.
Wait not for death, and then my grave
Bestrew with flowers o'er,
And speak sweet words while teardrops fall;
Tis now I need them more!
I would more prize a tear a flower
A handclasp warm and true,
From one I know to be my friend,
(Tho' friends he far and few)
One look in eyes that speak of faith,
One little sweet word said
Than lavish praise and pomp and show
When I am lying dead.
When I shall drop this vesture old,
And from life's cares be free,
The spot of earth where I'm laid
Will nothing be to me.
And tho' you plant there choicest Mowers,
And tend them with wet eyes,
'Twill touch me not I'll not be there,
Or hear your deepest sighs.
Then if you love me tell me now:
One little word will do;
Wait not nnd say it by my tomb,
When I am gone from you.
PRAISES,
I'raiso Him for the days of gladness,
Praise Him for the hours of glee.
When this life seems tilled with sunshine
And your heart is light and free.
Praise Ilim for the springtime zephyrs,
Praise Him for the summer's calm,
For the autumn's chilling breezes,
For tho winter's blighting storm.
Praise Him when the life is saddened
By the loss of loved ones true,
And all joy seems gone forever,
For He'll love and comfort you.
I'raiso Him for His sweet communings,
Praise Him for His promised grace,
And the hope of then to greet them
When we see Him "face to face."
Praise Him for dear ones spared us
Whose love cheers us everywhere;
Praiso Him for the baby lingers
That caress, and smooth our hair.
Praise Him that the hungry sparrows
Find the crumbs on window-ledge
That tho fragrance of the lilies
Breathes to us His faithful pledge !
Praise Him for the midnight wakings,
Know e'en these "appointed"' are
He will send sweet songs of gladness
He will light His guarding star.
Praise Him for the evening fireside,
Praiso Him for the dawning light,
Praise Him for the Love that semis us,
All the good, the best, the right !
HIS CLIENT WON OVER.
Governor S was a splendid lawyer,
being especially noted for bis success in
criminal cases, aluioat always clearing his
client. He was once counsel for t man
aooused of borse-a'ealiog. He Dade a
long, eloquent and touching speech. The
jury retired, hut returned in a few mo
ments, and, with tear- in their eyea pro
claimed the mm ''out guilty." An old
acquaintance steppe I up to the prisoner,
and said : "Jem, the danger is passed;
and now. honor briulit, didn't you steal
lhatborae?" To which Jem replied:
"Well, Tom, I've all along thought I
look thai horse; but since I've beard the
Governor's speech, I don't believe I did."

THE OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER.
Yes, she was an old-fashioned mother,
She was bent and wrinkled ami gray;
She had borno with brave endurance
The burden and heat of the day.
Year ago she was fair and graceful,
Her laugh like music rang,
And in the summer twilight
Sweet lullabies she sting,
As upon her mother-bosom
Lay golden heads so small,
While she dreamed that in the future
Their love would repay her all.
Tall and fair grew the daughters,
With girlhood's winsome grace;
But mother had somehow dropped behind
And fallen out of the race.
So long had she worked in silence
At length they'd forgotten quite
That in their hearts and the household
She had either place or right.
Ah! not till the hands were folded
And the heart had ceased to beat,
And God's dee) rest had been given
To the tired hands and feet,
Did they think of her patient toiling,
Did they speak the word of praise
That might have lightened the labor
If spoken in other days.
Years passed on with their changes,
They found that never another
Could take the place of that lost one,
The dear, old-fashioned mother,
Ah. me! there are many mothers
Who through long weary days
Toil for her own unceasing
With no word of love and praise.
The words that would thrill with gladness
Too often are left unsaid
Till the rest of death has fallen
On heavy heart and head.
And at last they learn the lesson
That on earth there is no other
To fill the place of that truest friend;
Ood gives us but one mother.

ADVICE TO A BRIDE.
IN HIS LINE.
"Ile a pretty gay lor a divinity stu
dent, isn't he ?"
"UI I don't know. He's on his vaca
tion, you aec, and I suppose be tbinka
it'a all right to study the divinities who
congregate on the beach at the bathing
hour"
(iiven by a Tired Passenger on
a Pullman Car a Few Years
Ago.
The folloniog is a most readable arti
cle taken from a circular that was printed
some years ago.
A drummer jeincd the crowd of jokers
in one of the hotel lobbies last night with
a good oatured smile and waited patient
ly until the laugh caused by the lust
story had died uwoy. The juke had beon
somethiog about a bride catching the
measles on her wedding trip and the
drummer ouly caught the last words,
"aud they bad only been married eight
days," but he was prepared to follow up
the subject with one better.
"These newly married people are a
nuisance aoyway, he sum; "one nignt
last week I boarded a sleeper after a hard
day 'a work and was kept awake fur two
or three bouis by a silly couple on their
honeymoon. Would never have gotten
to sleep at all that night, I guess, if it
hadn't been for sn old gentleman who
very unceremoniously broke up the coo-
ing."
Following is the story told :
The couple had for some time been
very audibly calling each other 'loots,'
darline,' Movey-dovev' aod other felici
tous love and everybody in the car ex
cept the bappy pair was bored to death.
The feminino voice at last announced
that she was going to sleep and all heaved
a thankful sigh. But their pleasure waa
short lived, for ber belter, or rather other
half, after a few moments murmured
"Kiss me, Mary; kiss me just once more
before you go to sleep."
Uh, John, 1 am so tired, let me
alone," was the drowsy answer.
"No; kiss me again, Mary," insisted
John. But Mary didn't reply and John
evidently feaiing she would get lo sleep
without any further osculatory demon
stiations of her undying adoration for
her liege lord became impatient and re
peated frantically : "Kiss me, Mary,
kiss me, just ouce, dear Mary; wou't you
ki-ame? P-l-e-easc kiss me, Mary."
At this juncture the old gentleman at
the further end of the car put his head
out of bis berth aod yelled at the top ol
his voice: "Kiss him, Mary, kiss him.
For God's sake kiss him aud let us all
go to sleep."
A maraar of approbation went from
one end of the car to tho other aud nut
another sound was heard from the berth
occupied by the newly married pair.
WORK, WORK.
Nothing Conies By Waiting.
The saying that "everything comes to
him who waits," dues uot mean that the
silting duwn lellow is thu one that gets
all thai he wants.
vv ailing, in ttic atiovc saving, dues
not mean idleness or dreaming, or wish
iog for something tu take place.
Il moans eagerness in goiug alter and
persistence in following up the something
of value to the person seeking it.
The person who waits, Hicawher like,
for the opportunity to come along aod
fall at his or her feet, never sees the re
alization of such hopes.
1 he present oge is peculiarly a striving
odc, in the language of the limes it is a
itrenuous age," and only the persistent
seeker can expect to gain anything, and
then only by siroug effort and work,
It is only necessary to look about to
sec what produces success and what gives
failure.
The person who reaches out after bus
iness, by advertising or persoual effort,
gets the trade and the profits therclrorn.
The town or city which presents its
commercial possibiliiies gets the investor
and his money, aod thereby its own com
mercial advancement and building up.
Note the waiting merchant who does
not advertise aud seek out lor trade
through personal going forth after it I
Note the town or city which makes
no effort to gain the atteotion of the out
side business world and the world of pro
gress I
Distinct failure will be found in both,
and very few notice or care that the first
drops out of commercial circles, and the
second ia unknown in the investment
world.
There is failure in waiting, but in go
ing forth to seito, to obtain the object,
there is every chanoe of success. New
