MOTHERS WAY.
ItY NANNIE A. IIKl'WOllTII.
On within our little cottage,
\' tiie shadows jTfitl!y fall.
While the Minliglit touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall.
l?o we pat her cb>se together.
And in husked and tender tone.
A^k each other's full forgiveness
I'i r the wrongs that each have <lone.
Should you wonder why this custom
At the ending of the day. ;
Dyes ae.J voice would quickly answer,
It was ouce our mothers way.''*
,(
If our home he bright and cheery,
If i: hold a welcome true,
ojiening wide its door of greeting I
To the many, not tho few; ]
If we share our fathers bounty
W llli the needy, dnv by day. ,

This was ever motIter's way.
Sometimes when otir hamls prow weary.
Or our task seen very lonp : ,
W hen our burdens look too heavy, I
.Ate! we deem the ripht all wrong.
Then we pain a new fresh courage,
As we rise to proudly say .
"Let us do our duly bravely, <
This whs our dear mother's way." j
Tl)ti? we keep her memory precious,
AVhile we never cease to pray
That at last when lenptheninp shadows !
Mark tli<* evening of life's day. '<
They may find us waiting calmly i
To go home our mother's way !

So I concluded to finish up niy task
this evening. I did n t commit myself,

alone on the edge of ro"ks in the mid*

'Lloyd.' she said, 'yon will forgive

t-i find you. And oh. Lloyd,' as she
saw his face softening toward her. 'you
do love me. too; you cauont say no !'
lie laid his hand over the little fingers
quivering so piteously. remembered j
himself, and drew away. Hi* voice
was hard as he said :
*1 might have listened to you, and
believed an explanation possible, if I
had not fimnd you with him to-day.'
'Then why did you not let ino die ?'
she moaned. 'Why did.you save my
life to torture mc ?'
And she commenced sobbing,
'Woman, this is acting. Have done

Her excited sobs came faster. A
gleam of pity came into bis eyes; iie
hurried with her to the bore, wrapped
her in shawls provided 1 y the company,
placed her in a carriage and told the
iriver to hurry with her to the hotel,
six miles distant; he would follow on
horseback. As he put her out of his
irms, her great pleading eyes were
turned toward him, searching for some
or>k of afTectiou. some faint recognition !
>f^11 that she had been to him. I'ut
inding none, the anguish of her disappointment
broke forth in a single word
- Lloyd!'
To his dying day he never forgot
that cry. A slight quiver about the
nouth. a swift quailing of the eye were
til the signs he gave that he heard her. ,
*ho knew that a'! was over between
hern. One thought took possession of
icr; to act so that the company would
uspcet nothing. ?0 she declared herelf
restor-d upon tln-ir arrival at the
lOtel, and insisted upon eoing with the (
arty into the cnvc. i (

tandle went out. He went sauntering ]
dong until lie eatno within hear- |

his wife and West' n. (

Very kind of you. May I ask what
jirouiptid you to select me?'
'I?ec:tu<e you were respectable enough
in the eyes of the world to make it look
right, and you were unprincipled enough
to make it practicable, and heartless
enoutrh to lmvc no feeling in the matter.'
Then yon love your husband."
'Love him.' I idolize hi01! I
would give my life to occupy the place I
did in bis heart a month ago. I love him
-<? well that I cannot imagine how heaven
can bo heaven without him !
'That is enough, Mrs. Whitlow. I
believe that you will enjoy yourself in
hi- company more than in mine: .-o 1 will

Weston went on, when out of tho
darkness a pair of arms encircled her.
Nellie looked up, terjor-stricken. and
saw the face <d'her husband, wearing so |
different a look, that she knew bo bad
heard all
'Nellie, darling, you arc my own pure
wife, after all. but you were very indiscreet,"

Astonishing Feats of Jugglery.
I In Delhi. India. wo saw the celebrated
basket trick. which is .sometimes
1 poorly imitate! by a professional magicians
in this country. A nave pro*
! duced a bask- t and a blanket, and, alter
permitting us to see that contained
; nothing, inverted the basket on the
j ground and covered it with a blanket.
, W'c paid no attention to bis incantations
t but kept our eyes fixed on the basket
and the space around it. resolved that!'
no boy should he smuggled into it or 1
' out of it without seeing him. What j J
made the feat still more wonderful wis '
, the fiet that the performer stood in a 1
clear space, and we could look down on 1
; him as he proceeded. lie then went ,
through the customary act of thrusting '1
I a sword through the interstices of the
j basket, when the cries of a boy were '
i heard as if in mortal pain issuing from '
! the basket. Turning it over, there was s

! storing the basket, with the blanket
i over it, to its former position, with ti e '
boy underneath it. the juggler went I
i through with some incantations, and '
then running his sword under the blan
Icet tossed it away from him. Turning I
j over the basket no boy was to be seen. 1
So far as anything could be observed. '
i there was no possibly place in which
the little fellow could bo concealed. {
Another feat quite as astonishing w ?
i saw performed in the streets of Constantinople..
An itinerant magician
showed us a cane which had the ap-j

it took the form of a live serpent with ; ,

The youth went away, and the party j
he traveled with were assaulted by rob- j
hers. < hie leilow asked the b ?y what j a
he had. and lie answered with a candor j ]
which surprised his questioner : 1
Forty dinars are sewed up in my a

The robber laughed, thinking that j 1
the boy jested. Another asked the same t
question and received the same answer, c
At last tiie chief called hiui, and asked c
; what he had. ! j
The hoy replied : ! r
1 have told two of vour people1.

lie did so, and his follower- were

A curious and puzzling case occurred

Three weeks later he became ill,
and symptom- .if hydrophobia showed
themselves and developed until he died
in ft rrible e'iivnlsions. The physician
proiiotineeil it a genuine case, hut a girl
