A MOTHER'S CARE? ???ut?thSnfcTny heart could bear Jlyitfailj weight of woman's care, If it were not for this.* That Jes os seemeth always near, Unseen bat whispering ia ?ny ear Some tender words of lore or cheer, To fill my heart with bliss! There are so many trivial cares That no one knows and no one- shares, Too small for me to tell. ^Things e'en my husband cannot see, -Nor-his dear lore uplift from me Each hoar's unnamed perplexity That mothers know so well. ' .The failure of some household scheme, The ending of some pleasant dream, Deep hidden ia my breast. % weariness of childhood's noise, The yearning for that subtle poise, That turnet h duties into joys, - And giveth i oner rest. The secret things, however small, . Are known to Jesus, each and all, y j* And this thought brings me peace. ^^T?? need to say one word, ^B?knows'"' what thought my* heart hath stirredi* , Andi hy dirioe caress, mj Lord td .Makesall its throbbiogs cease.. 1 And then, upon his loving breast, Mr weary head is laid at rest, Y ?? In speechless ecstacy I Until it seemeth all in raia That care,.fatigue, or mortal pain, Should hope to drive me forth again - - - From such, felicity. ^ Injurious Speaking. ? '-.rrr.-? * R^^Fre?chman, speaking of a person known to bis comrades, said: "His mouU^eosts him nothing, for he always opens it at the expense of others." There are multitudes of persons to whoa'that remark will apply. Exag? gerations and defamation are two fertile sources of social mischief. We meet with persons who sensitively shrink ?from the deliberate violation of truth who will habitually over-color their ?tatements. to such an extent that a false impression ts conveyed to the mind of t&e listener. They thus lower the torie of their own mind, destroy the .pew^r. of accurate perception, diminish >f^oon&dence of their friends, and sow -th?, seeds, pf mach error in the world. They soon discover that they are not -credited even when they speak soberly. Their morai drafts upon social confi ; dence are dishonored. But perhaps ?he most injurious talk is .that wi?efe detracts from the charac- 1 -ter of another-that which openly or in disguise strikes tt the reputation of a brtfer^ p?gThn-th?t which "cut's men throats with whisperings"-that . lOuchTisadopted' by the envions rivai , ":wi?b~seek"s "ftfl?eild "h& home on the ruins of another's ferne. ?

Two little girls were playiug \ quietly in the room. It was a charm- j t ing picture of love and devotico. j a * 'My wife fell down-stairs,' said her j ^ husband, 'and I fear has hurt herself j e seriously.' j t *I examined her shoulder.

I re-exam- j ined her side. - 'When did she fall V I asked. /Last night,' he said, after a second's pause aod glance at her. ? . 431y resolve was taken. 'Please sbow me the place on the stairs where she struck?' I said to thc j husband, rising and going out. He j followed me. 'I was not' with her when she fell/ he said. 'The injury was not from a fall, and j it was not dooe last night. Never try ? to deeeive a doctor.' 'She begged me not to tell you the troth.' 'Then get another physician,' I said, i 'I will tell you the whole truth. ! Night before last I bad been out to ! dinner/ 'I saw your brilliant speech- io the paper. Was it wine inspired. 'Partly Most after-diuae* speeches- j are to a degree.

After a time she crawled, she says, up-stairs, and went into the nur? sery and slept with the little girls. I slept late, and woke with a fierce head-: j ache, and went out at once, thinking no breakfast and the out-door air would clear my brain for my morning engage? ments. I pledge you my honor I bad forgotten* I struck my wife; When I came baek last night I found ber suffer? ing; but she would not permit a physi? cian should be sent for lest it should disgrace me. I think she really tries to believe that she hurt herself more or less, when she fell.'

The following true incident was publmhed by the local papers years ago, but being trne, and having been erased to earth, rises again: Ia Van Buren there once lived an old gentleman of the name of John Bostick. He kept a hotel and was also the proprietor of a blacksmith 6hop. A well-known minister, Rev. Mr. Buchanan, who always put ap with Bostick, met the hotel man on the street one day, after having staid all night with him, and said: "Well, Uncle John, how mueh do I owe you?" "Owe me for what, Brother Buck?" "Why, you know I have stayed all night with you." "Yes, Brother Buck, but you know that I never charge preachers." "I-ktiow that, Uncle John, but I had my horse sbod." "Brother Buck, I never charge a preacher for shoeing his hose." "I don't want work done for noth? ing," said the preacher. "Well, Brother Buck, just remem? ber me in your prayers." "All right, Uncle John, but as I iiave always adhered- to the rule of never leaving a place in debt, get iown on your knees and we'll have prayers right now." The two got down on- the sidewalk ind the debt was paid.-Arkansas Tiktceller. -_ -^M^- - - - How to Make Candy. I send the girls some recipes for caa ?y-?Kik?ng, says a lady in our Country Uom?i.

Yet, I am told as . feci, that io one of the cities of this >?ate a most excellent company of kristian ministers met for the purpose if seeing what could be done for the aase of temperance, and sagely '*rc olved" that it was best for them to ;eep outside of all temperance organiza iot?5.
