THE LOVE OF GOD.
"As one whom his mother comfortethJ
Like a cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro,
Like a mother's sweet looks dropping
On the little face below
Ilasgs the green earth, swinging, turning,
Jarless, noiseless, eafe and slow ;
Falls the light of God's face, bending
Down, and watching us below
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best ;
So, when we are weak and wretched,
By our sin weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that God's great patience
Holds us closest, loves us test.
O reat heart of God ! whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed,
Wilt not weary will not even
In our death irseli be lost
Love divine ! ot such great loving
Only mothers know the cost ;
Cost of love, which all love passing,
Gave a son to save the lost.

CHILDREN'S STORY.
Dildrum, Doldrum's
Dead,
rNE cold day the little ben
jh housekeeper sat in a rocking
chair by her own fireside read-
ingr, when m walked a
great
yellow cat.
"Ob, Mr. Tom, how you frighten.
ed me ; I thought you were a bear.
What brought you here V
'My feet broaght me," he auswen.
ed rudely. "I am cold and want to
rest and get warm.7'
"Very well, then," said the feood
natured little hen, 'klie down on the
rug before the lire and get warm and
take a good nap.1'
So the cat lay dowuaod weut fast
asleep, end the littls ben read on
about a fox catching a goose, which
made her shiver in her feathers.
The cat was still sound asleep, but
began to terk and quiver all over.
The little hen watched him, fearing
he had a tit. Presently a voice
seemed to come down the chimney,
saying :
"Dildrum, Doldrum's dead.7'
Up screamed the cat as it it bad
been shot, and screamed out :
"Is Doldrum dead V7
The voice came again, saying :
"Dildrum, Doldrum's dead."
Then the cat bounded out of the
house, witn tail erect and twice its
natural size. The little hen was so
astonished she went to the door to
see where he went. But he was out
of sight, and the prairie dogs were
barking as if they wanted to tear
np something. Down by the beaver
dam where the beavers were at work
the cat ran.
"Whither away so fast?" called
out the beavers.
"Is Doldrum dead?" screamed
the cat "Say, is Doldrum dead !"
"Who is Doldrum?" they asked.
Without replying the cat shot
away again, and ran against a fox
that was peering at him irom behind
a tree,
"Is Doldrum dead?" asked the cat.
"That depends upon whether he
breathes or not,'' replied the fox.
'But who is Doldrum V
The cat made no answer, but ran
as if a hundred hornets were after
him.
"Ugh ! that fellow is scared,'7 said
the fox, "1 wonder what's up!"
"Why, his tail is up, ' said a coon
loosing down from overhead.
"Hallo, Mr. doo, you op there t"
"I'm always op here when I'm
not down there.7'
"What do you think is the matter
with that yellow cat, Mr. Coon V
"I think he has a bee in his bon
net, Mr. Fox.'7
"Well, come down and let's go and
see what he's after.'7
"All light,77 and down he came,
flattening himself to the tree and
slipping down backward as easy as
anything. ;
But they didn't catch up with the
cat ; he was too far ahead by this
time. He was still running when
tbe rabbit hailed him.
"HI, bi 1 What's your hony !"
"Is Doldrum dead?" asked tbe cat
"Who is Doldrum ?" inquired the
rabbit.
Bat the cat was off again.
"Mercy on 3e I" exclaimed tbe
rabbit; 'there ho goes, tearing
through the woods like a young cy
clone, and he is nearly out of breath
now. t act is that fellow has been
'out with the boys7 all night, and if
he doesn't drop in his tracks before
nifcht 1'il sell myself for a Dutch
man. "
Still ihe cat rat on and on. After
a vhile in bis headloug course he
t-tumbled over a weasel that was ly
ing in the ennshiue.
"Hallo I What do jou mean by
ruuniug over me ?" demanded the
weasel angrily; "Seems as if you
have outrun your manners.'7
"Is is my name Dildram V pant
ed the cat in a weak voice.
"What ?'7
"Is is Doldrum dead ?" and here
hi voice grew ao faint as hardly to
be beard.
"He his iun himself down,'7 said
the weasel. "I'll go for the doctor.7'
A wise old owl dwelt in a hollow
tree near, and to him the weasel
went.
"Doctor, doctor, wake up and
come out. Here's a catastrophe.7'
"A what sort ot a fee? Ym al
ways ready for fee?," and a solemn!
oi l owl stepped out with his medi
cine case j
"A yellow cat has tumbled over!
half dead and is asking strange
questions,'' explained the weasel.
The owl hurried to his patient,
and after putting on his spectacles
proceeded to make an examination.
He felt the cat's pulse, looked at his
tongue, stared at his eyes, and peer
td down into one ear.
"Catalepsy, I'm afraid," said the
owl.
But in the feeblest whisper the cat
asked :
"Isis my name Dildrum ? Is is
Tinllriim
"Ab, a clear case of jimjaaa!?. ie,
and brain fever. I'll just bleed bim
and put a cataplasm on the top of
his bead, and to- morrow he'll be all
right again." said the doctor.
"Is my name Dildrum !"
"No," answered tne doctor, "your
name's Tom; and you are nothing
but a yellow cat that is dead beat
from too much carousing and caters
wauling."
"But, doctor,' said the weasel,
what does he mean by Dildrum and
Doldrum ! '
"It means that he has got the jim
jams, aud got 'em badly. There
isn't auy Dildrum and Doldrum. He
dreamed it and thought it true, aud
so made a fool of himself, and like
to run himself to death besides."
And thus the wise old owl doctor
solved the mystery of Dildrum and
Doldrum,
Just as the owl said he would be,
the cat was all right next day. As
soon as he took tbe mustard plaster
off bis head he washed his face and
went home.
That night the owl lit in a tree
near tbe cat's house to see how he
was getting along. Then he boot
ed to let Tom know be was there.
"To-whoo, toswhoo, towboo-ar I7'
"Hallo, doctor, is that you V1
"Yes, Tom- How are you ?"
"Firstrate. But my wife is mad
and I am trying to pacify her. Mas
ri-ah V
"Call her again, Tom."
"Mari-ah, come here. I'm the
bully boy with the glass eye."
"Bully for you, Tom," laughed the
owl.
"Ob, I'm a pretty yellow cat,
WJth a silk cravat,
And a stove-pipe bat,
And I'm off to see Miss Dinah,"
sang Tom, winking at the owl.
"Ob, you are, are you V equalled
Maria, putting her head out at the
window.
"I thought that would fetch her,"
saidTom.
"You better go off bunting for
something to eat, you lazy, goods
for-nothing catamoont of a cat. Not
a blessed thing in tbe honse to eat,
and you fooling your time away 1"
screamed Maria.
Then the owl hooted :
"To-whoo, to w boo,
I cook tor myself,
Who cooks for you ! '
"I'm goioe now, Maria," said Tom;
"and see if I don't come back with
a ''dish and a spoon and a fat rac
coon.7 "
"And don't get on another spree
Tom, and have another doator's bill
to pay.''
"That I won't Maria,' said Tom.
And he never did. again, but be

A. OliHMtly Joke.
The Morganton Herald of this
wt-ek says : W. S. Roper, an inoffen
sive, respectable ciiizeu lives with
his family near old Shiloh church a
mile from Linville river in this
couuty. With his grief stricken
wife he is watchirlg now by the
bedside of his little daughter, Lau
ra, who lies unconscious iu one of
tbe rooms of his modett faun house
with a deep, ugly gash in her kn!l
through which can be seen tbe pul
sations of the brain.
A few eveuiogs since there was a
wedding at Roper's, his daughter
M 83 A. L. Roper and Mr. W. A.
Lefevers being married by Justice
W. T. Harbeson, in the presence of
a small party of friends. That
night some of the neighbor men
and boys got together aud decided
to give the newly wedded pair a
"Serenade," as they called it. Tin
pans, and horns and gongs and any
thing that would make a noise were
selected, aud some of the party
supplied themselves with guns and
pistols to add to the racket a din.
Some time after dark they sur
rounded the Roper dwelling and
commenced the fun. The family
was at first startled by the unex
pected noise, but soon becoming
convinced that it was only a friend
ly surprise party they began to
open tbe doors and windows and
invite the merry makers to come
into the bouse.
At nnn nf riMnrliiWid tho Iirw1
groom's sister, Miss Lefevers, and
the sixteen year old sister of the
bride were standing looking out at
the "serenaders" and laughing at
the frightful racket they were rais
ing outside. Some of the boys in
the crowd had provided themselves
with guns which they bad loaded
with large charges ot powder and
paper wads. One of the party, see.
ing tbe two at tbe window, and
thinking perhaps to frighten them
by discharging a guu near their
faces, stepped uuder the high win
dow and elevating his gun, pulled
the trigger. At the report, Miss
Lefevers fell to the floor shocked by
the explosion, and Miss Laura Ro
per, uttering a cry of pin, sank
down upon the floor with the blood
gushing from her head, and her
face burned by the power. The pa-
per wad, discharged at close range,
had ploughed a long furrow through
her skull, exposing the brain, and
inflicting a wound from which the
doctory aay it will be almost a mir
acle if she recovers.

A Short Letter to Girls.
Girls, don'c marry before you
have acquired a thorough koowb
edge of housekeeping. It may be
a well-to-do father or over indul
gent mother has fehielded you irom
tbese homely dutits, but some
time in life you may face tbem and
it will come tbe harder. I have
often heard my mother tell her ex
perience of the firt years of her
uianied life. Grandfather was a
slaveholder, and of course the cares
ot tbe household devolved upon
them, but when ehe left her home
to become the wife of a poor man
her inexperience caused her mauy a
regret aud much labor. It is true
j oil may marry a man wbo6 iat
come will enable him to plac? a Di
nah in the kitchen and a Chloe in
the chamber, but after a few weeks
association with these worthies you
discover that the latter has a thiev
ing propensity aud Dinah is feeding
an innumerable company of aunts
and cousins fiom your larder con
veyed through the back door.
This will never do j you immedi
ately discharge them, but where to
get others ? The day is excessively
warm, the intelligence office five
blocks away, but thither vou bend
yc ur steps and arrive only iu time
to iearn that the experienced girls
have been employed and the few
regaining ones are almost as ignor
ant as yourself. You return home
di-couraged and naturally out of
humor. What shall you do! There
if a next-door neighbor who wonld
willingly teach youbut you baveu7t
tii:.e to learn now ; you will just
take a cook book and "go by" the
receipts. How obstinate the fire is,
how tenaciously tbe dough cleaves
to your hands. What do they put
'n it to make it come off? And ob,
u'.ai, iucio IU llic uuui" a j etauua
Charlie, who has had nothing but a
cold lunch to eat since morning.
Of course you burst into tears,
and if he has any heart he says
"never mind," bat he is disappoint
ed never the less when the forloneu
looking bread finally appeals on
the table, aud the heavy cake in
which you forgot to stir tbe bakiug
powder is served for desert. "Ob,
well," you thiuk, "I always coold
cheer bim with one of Mendelss
sohn's productions," so you open
tbe piano and begin to warble, but
tbe spell is broken. You forget that
when you played that in your fath
er's house Charlie had just dined at
a five-dollar-a-day hotel on fried
oysters, chicken salad, aud hot rolls,
and was in a proper mood to appre
ciate the popular melody. But wbat
are the moxt exquisite strains from
Mendelssohn, Strausf, or Mozart to
a hungry, disappointed man?
Dear, girls, this is a scene from
which you instinctively shrink, but
it is one, or one similar, in which
many like you have been actors. I
often think it would be well if our
states would adopt tbe German
method of teaching housekeeping
schools, and no matter what posix
tion we as women intend to fill let
us learn this as an educational re
quirement, and if destiny leads u
into a sphere which will not neces
sitate their performance we cau re
linguish tbem with more grace than
we cau learn tbem. Prudence, in

Your Boy.
You do not know what is in bim.
Bear with him ; be patient; wait.
He is a boy, and most boys are bad.
Xou think him so light-hearted, aud
fear he is lightheaded as well. Re
member he calls you father. When
be played in your lap you foodly
hoped he would some day be a great
aud useful man. Now that he has
grown larger, and his youug blood
diives huu iuto gleelul sport, and
makes him impatient of serious
things, rattliug, playful, thoughtless,
you almost despair. But don't be
snappish and suarlisb, aud make
him feel you aie disappointed in
him. lie is your boy and you have
to live with bim. lie beats your
name and Is to send it on down tbe
stream of time. lie inherits your
fortune and fame, and is to transmit
fbem to generations to come.
It may be difficult to govern bim,
but be patient. He may seem ad
verse to every-tbing useful and
good, but wait. No one cau tell
what is in a boy. tie may surprise
you some day. Hope. Let him
gro. While bis body grows larger
aud stronger, his meutal and moral
nature may expaud and improve.
Educate your boy. You may think
money spent m that way is money
spent in vain. There is nothing in
him ; he has no pride, no ambition.
You don't know. No one can tell
what there is in a boy. besides,
there may be au unkiudly spark, an
onfanned flame, a smouldering fire,
a latent energy, which the teacher's
aid may stir, the associatiou with
books may arouse, develop, and di
rect, and thus statt your boy agoiug
with such energy that no power on
earth could stop bim short of tbe
topmost round in the ladder of time,
If you cannot educate him, let
make him a giant with whom none
dare interfere. Such are tbe best
men iu the world. The greatest
benefactors of the race hares tcoped
their shoulders to bear burdtn?,
have carried hands haidened with
rough labor, have endured the fa
tigue of toil. Many such are iu our
minds now. Labor conquora all
thiugs. Tbe old Roman was right.
We see it in a thousand instances.
Labor makes the man. No boy ever
came to be a man, the noblest work
of God, without labor. This is
God's great law j there is a divine
philosophy in it. Let your boy
work ; if he will not work, make him
work. There is no progress, no de
velopment, no outcome, no true
manhood, without it. We mast
work.
Father, be kind to your boy. We
know wbat a mother will do. Thank
God, a mother's love, a mother's
prayers follow us still, aud the mem.
ory of her anxious tears shall never
fade out during the succession of
years. Finally, but not least, pray
for our boy. God hears prayer.
Do the best you can, commit all yoa
cannot do to God, and hope. Nev.
er despair, for no one knows what
is iu a boy. Old Homestead.
