THE IDLERI. (Continued from page four.) right. Mr. Editor, I wish you would let' me print in this connection the following beautiful tribute to a spirit of those good old days that is also unfortunately fast passing away-the "Old Black MamlY." -0 The Old Black Mammy. In the first dim day of life's long years 4he cradled the infant frame, And wistfully watched with many fears The fluttering breath as it came. 'Twas mammy who guided the 'tod dling feet And caught with its native sound The name that prattled in accents sweet Is heard the wide world round. To mammy we ran with childish grief, And mammy taught usto sew, As we stitched the hem in her gray 'kerchief With fingers clumsy and slow. To mammy when clothes we rumpled or tore For mother we dared not see And mammy lessened the grievous sore Of pain on her generous knee. We listened when mammy gave coun sel quaint As the pulse of our hearts beat fast, "Honey, dar's many would pass fur a saint Is wo'fs in de sheep skin at last." When we gave to another a closer love And we left the old home roof, Ah, mammy prayed that the angels above, Would tighten the golden woof. No tenderer care could ever be known To nurture fair childhood's hours Than doubled the love around us thrown Like the sun and the rain on flow ers; Nor mattered to us that the spirit's fold Of mammy was satiny jet, .Her love was pure' as alchemic gold -An4 remains ith her "chil'un" yet. O , faithful heart! It is passing away The name of tyse "chil'un" sc dear, tmemory clings to the earlier day, And will cherish your virtues here; d when life's current flows swift -to bear Our barque to death's river, anon Among the .whole hosts of -the ran som'd there Our mammy shall beckon us on. -0 Somebody told me that the pas tors of the city had partly rescinded their former action as to no services on Sunday night and that there would be service in one church each Sunday night. Somebody ought to have the kickers arrested and make them attend these services. The Idler. QUICK AND DEAD .UNDER DEBRIS Workinen Find Living Persons Under * Wreckage in Cartago-Thous - ands Are Homeless. San Jose, C. R., May 8.-Up to noon today 800 bodies had been taken from the ruins of the houses which were overturned in the earthquake last Wednesday evening at Cartago. - The estimate of the dead place the mimber at 1,100, but it is possible thds will be exceeded. -Large forces which have gone to >Cas.tago from San . Jose and other ~points are now engaged in the work o seueand even today several liv ing lersons were taen from under the ales of stones and timbers where dwellings once stood. The' number of sick and injured can not be counted, many of them having been removed to. , dining towns and villages. Dr. Bocanegra, the Guatemalan representative to the Central Ameri can court of justice, was demented when removed from the ruins the day following the earthquake, but he is now recovering from the shock. Physically, he was only slightly in jured. The body of his wife, whoe was killed, has been embalmed, pre paratory to being sent to Guatemala. Slightly Out of Place. Nervous and Inexperienced Host ~.(rising hurriedly at the conclusion of a song) -Ladies, and-er-gentle men, before he started to-er-sing, Mr. Bawnall asked me to apologize for his-er-Voice, but I-er-omit ted to do so-er so- I-er---apolo * iz now I-London Opinion.
