Northainptun county) OE 3E 13E SEABOARD GOODBYE MOTHER. Was liver Other Love Like This? It is recorded that when the ; plague broke out in a little village of Italy, the children of one house were taken first. The parents watched them but only caught the disease they could not cure. The whole family died. Then across the street, in the home of a poor laborer, who was absent all the week, returning only on Saturday ; to bring his scanty earnings, the ; disease next began. The wife ' felt herself attacked in the night by the fever. When morning ; dawned she was worse, and be-1 fore night the plagued spot showed itself. She remembered the terri-; ble fate of her neighbors. She ' i knew she must die, but, as she J . looked at her dear boys, she re-1 solved not to communicate death to them. She therefore locked j : the children in the room, and ; snatched the bedclothes, fearing i they were already impregnated : with the dreadful germs, and with them left the house. She even ; denied herselt the pleasure ol a , last embrace. Oh! think of the heroism which enabled her to con ! quer feelings and leave home with all she loved to die ! Her oldest ' child saw her from ' the window. "Goodbye, mother," said he, with a tender voice, wondering why ' she left so strangely. "Goodbye, mother," repeated the youngest child, stretching his little hands out of the window. The mother paused. Her heart was drawn to wards those little ones, and she was on the point of rushing back, j She struggled hard, while the tears ; rolled down her cheeks, at the sight of her helpless babes. At length she turned from them. The children continued to cry. "Good bye, mother," until their voices died away, and the mother with an anguished heart, entered the house of those who were to bury her. In a short time she died, and with her dying breath commended herhus- ! band and children to the care of i heaven. Was ever other love like , thai ? Only once, when for the ; plague smitten race it hung in bleeding mercy on the cross. Ex hibitions of a mother's love, though not so striking as this, are by no means rare. Live where she may, ; and how she will, "a mother is a i mother still, the holiest thing alive." NO TEARS NOR HILLS. In the days when Rowley Hill was bishop of the Isle of Man one of his clergymen bear ing the nnnte of Tears cimio to say adieu to bishop on getting preferment. The parson said: ! "(iood-by, my lord. I hope we ' may meet again, but if not here in some better place." The bishop replied, "I fear the latter is unlikely, as there are no Tears in heaven." : "No doubt," wittily answer ed the parson, "you are right 1 that our ehance of meeting is small, as one reads of the plains of paradise, but never of any Hills there."

Two little feet, so small that both may nestle In one caressing hand Two tender feet upon the untried border Of life's mysterious land; Dimpled, and soft, and pink as peach-tree blossoms In April's fragrant days How can they walk among the briary tangles ? Edging the world's rough ways? These rose-white feet, along the doubtful future, Must bear a mother's load; Alas! since woman has the heavier burden And walks the hardest road. Love for a while will make the path before them All dainty, smooth and fair; We cull away the branches, letting only The roses blossom there. But when mother's watchful eyes are shrouded Away from sight of men, And these dear feet are left without her guiding, Who shall direct them then ? How will they be allured, betrayed, deluded Poor litile, untaught feet ! Into what dreary mazes will they wander? What dangers will they meet? Will they go stumbling blindly in the darkness Of sorrow's tearful shades ? Or find the upland slopes of peace and beauty, Whose sunlight never fades? Will they go toiling up ambition's summit, The common world above ? Or, in some nameless vale, securely sheltered, Walk side by side with Love ? Some feet there be which walk life's track unwounded, Which find but pleasant ways; Some hearts there be to which this life is only A round of happy days. But these are few. Far more they be who wander Without a hope or friend; Who find their journey full of pains and losses, And long to reach the end. How shall it be with her the tender stranger, Fair-faced and gentle-eyed, Before whose unstained feet the world's rude highway Stretches so far and wide? Ah, who may read the future? For our darling We crave all blessings sweet And pray that He who feeds the crying ravens Will guide the baby's feet. ONCE IN A WHILE. BY tXLA WHEELER TILCOX. It is easy enough to be pleasant When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is the one who will smile When everything goes dead wrong, For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years; And the smile that is worth the praises of earth Is the smile that shines through tears. It is easy enough to be prudent When nothing tempts you to stray, When without or within no voice of sin Is luring your soul away. But it's only a negative virtue Until it is tried by tire, And the life that is worth the honor of earth Is the one that resists desire. By the cynic, the sad, the fallen, Who had no strength for the sirife, The world's highway is cumbered to-day They make up the sum of life. But the virtue that contucis passion, And (he sorrow that hides in a smile, It is these that are worth the homage of earth, For we find them but once in a while. TWO VARIETIES ON THE SAME TREE. Jacob Lewis, of Cove Creek, has a freak in the form of a cherry tree. The tree in question is of the red heart variety and is some 30 years old. Each year one of the limbs, four inches in diameter, is loaded with black hearts while the rest of the tree sticks to the red variety. One would naturally suppose that the tree was grafted, but Mr. Lewis has known the tree since it was set out and says no such thing has been done. Will some scientist please explain?
