I think the birthday gift of that

fully stiKiiestive acis 1 ever heard
of. All of us receive presents or
"reelings of some sort on our
birthdays. How seldom do we
remember the mother on these
birthdays. And oh, how much
that birthday meant to her. Think
of the long inonihs of wailing and
watching and suffering; think of
the crucial pain ami agony, down
there in the valley of the shadow,
heroically grappling with deaih it
self that the end of Life might be
fulfilled !
Wouldn't it be a beautiful idea
for all the world 10 lake hold of
that idea of giving mother a pres
ent on her birthday! VC'liat a tine
tiling ii would be for every man
to make his birthday the occasion
of a tender letter of love and de
votion to his mother! And for
every woman ! There would be
millions of happier mothers in this
world, and anything thai will bring
happiness to any one in this world
is well worth trying. Let's make
every birthday a Mother's Day.

SWEETEST OF MEMORY'S BELLS.!
FRANK L. STANTON.
Wild is the way ihrotigh the woodland; but there are the sweet fields of j
clover, j
The sighing sad pines, and the jessamine vines, and the rill thai leaps j
laughingly over; ;
The lilies that rim it (he cities that dim it and there winding win
somely sweet,
If the path that still leads to the old home through rivery ripples of
wheat.
And hark! 'lis the song of the reapers, and I know by the jubilant
ringing
There is gold in the gleam of the harvest and love in the hearts that
are singing !
And still as of old to the ether its music mellifluous swells,
And the wind that sighs westward is swaying the sweetest of Memory's
bells.
Let me pass through ihe wheal and the clover, 0 men and rose-maidens,
who reap !
I, who come from the sound of the cities, like a child to its mother
would creep;
For through long years of tears and of toiling, like the harbnr-bells
over the foam
Your voices far winging and ringing were singing me singing me
home!
And here, from ihe pain and the pleasure front the sorrow and sigh
ing, 1 flee
As the birds when the storm winds are blowing, as the ships seek the
haven from sea;
And 1 fancy the violets know me in gardens of beauty and bliss;
And do noi the red roses owe me the peace of the prodigal's kiss?
The sun is still bright at the portal; there ihe love-light all radiant
shines;
Heart ! Heart ! there's a face we remember in the tangle and bloom
of the vines!
Far off the glad reapers are singing far off in the rivery wheat,
And ihe arms of a mother are clinoino, and the kis ; of a mother is
sweet !
