A comparatively young.lady, dressed in deep mourning?her husband having recently died?was travelling Southward, having in her care an<J keeping ayoung daughter of some six years.? The litue girl was mild eyed as on autumnal eky and as delicate as the hyacinth?her emaciated fingers as delicate and transparent as the pearls of Ceylon. Touchingly beautiful was the affection of her heart for the mother, whose solicitude tor the daughter's comfort was unceasingly manifested.? Looking ever and anon from the car window she turned to her mother say wg: "Mother, I am weary?when shall we get home!" After a*time she fell 1 into a gentle sluinlier, and awaking sudlently?a radiant smile overspread- j ing her featners?she exclaimed, point- , ing upward,?"Mother there is papa ! home at lostl" and expired. It was et many a,weary miles to the mother's home, but the angels pittying the little j sufferer, gathored her to tho Paradise of Innooeuce. j A Capital Rktobt.?A liquor seller 1 in a heated discussion about the Maine ] Law exclaimed: j These temperance men carry mat- | tor* altogether too far.
