J, 7•/ COOT{. .Iibave no mother, air, the night is cold, And I'm without a home; tease, sir, she died when T was but a child, Aud'I,was left to roam. 'Twos but three years ago on Christmas dray Tbey.took her to the tomb, 'The townsfolk all were very bright and gay, JBut.we•were full of gloom. i My father was a drinking man, and he rLeft.Nell and me alone, While.be•.went off upon a drunken spree, And food and fuel we had none; The:landlord came and turned us out of .doors Into the••ioy street, 'The next,day after, though we cried full sore, .And nothing had to eat. Poor .Nell and .I just wandered up and down,— What else, sir, meld we do? W,ethad•no aunts nor uncles in the town, Tor friends to whom to go. The day 'seemed very long, and we were cold And ,awful'hungry ; so We asked for,llelp, but folks said we were bold, .A.nd,one•swore at us, too, That night, sir, we both tried our best to' And go where mother went ; 1Ve:atayed in an old shed, --flow Nell did ,ery,t And thus 'the night we spent. The ,doge banked,all around, and something growled So loud ,and -angrily l Then -a big blank man came and on us soowleai,— Neli showed him tilt to me. We shivered so our teeth wouldnot keep still, They chattered with affright, Our clothes were fall of holes. Poor Nell said, "Will, Where's Jesus gone to -night ?" She talked so queer., it made me cry much more Than I, sir, would have done, Though I was cold and tired and footsore, And wished the night was gone. When morning came Noll turned so pale 1 and white, And went so fast asleep With both her eyes wide open, and so bright, That I could only weep ; flet her sleep a long time, O, so long, That I became afraid That something must with her be -very wrong ; So, then I knelt and prayed. ' And then i tried to waken her, but she Was cold and couldn't hear ; I asked her once, just once, to speak to me, .And whispered in her ear, I tried to lift her up, but she fell down, And wouldn't try to rise ; She looked like mother, when her soul had ' flown, They said, to Paradise.. Then something seemed to talk inside my breast, And tell me all was well; For Nell had gone to mamma, with the blest Forevermore to dwell. It was not longtill two men came along,— I told them Nell was dead; `They looked at her, and, though they both were strong, They left her—but one Said: "I'll get the coroner to send a roan, ti And take the corpse away;" The other took any ;and and said, "Come on , - • To my but o'er the way." 'Ana that's the last I saw of Sister Nell ; They buried her that day, But, sir, I found out where it was—'tis well, And: there I often stray. There's nothing much to mark the plat of ground, Only a little tree, ' There's room between it and another mound, - Solnetime, you,lcnow, forme T think the other gra't'e ig mother's bed,. Because they're side by side';. `' ll like it better so, for when Pin dead, We won't again divide. I had to run away the other day From him who bosses me— The man, who took me. as he likes to say, Through whiskey charity, — For ever since he's made me beg and steal, And Cruelly beaten me ; Vd rather die than get another meal Prom such a wretch as he. What makes you tremble so, and'look at ma What makes you,' air, stied tears? 1 think I know you now; just let me see,— It seems to me—it 'pears, pears, As you were in our home long, long ago, When I was very young— The father, with A. face brimful of woe,, And nervous force unstrung, tliftea the half -dosed lad of only ten, And press'd him to his breast ; t"l was your drunken father, lost io sin• -- A father 1 l+io, a beast 13ut, Willie, I've come back a Whetter Iran, Reclaimed; by God forgiven- 1!'or %ou and'Nall—forglt'eme, if you tan— 4 Nell wilt, sometime, in heaven."

Do not give up, .striving toward that which 3s good because you do not see great results. Don't make enemies, You Can al- ways get them of you, want them. ; but friends you •eannot. Whoever does his duty honestly and ,eonsis'tently brings happiness not only to himself but to others. Put off thy cares with thy clothes; so shall thy rest strengthen thy labor, and so thy labor sweeten thy rest. The person who is not in the habit of telling the truth will find it diffi- cult to do so when he most wishes to. The golden age may be in the past, but the golden opportunity in whieli we are immediately interested is in the present. Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass. through a thousand bosoms with out losing a particle of its original ray. We aro all sowers. Every action, every word, has a germ of life in it. It grows up, it meets us in the years to come. Thoughts lead on to purposes ; purposes go forth in action ; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny. The world deals 'good-naturedly with good-natured people, and we never knew a sulky misanthropist who quarrelled with it, but it was he and not it, that was in the wrong. One cannot too soon forget 'his errors and misdemeanors. To dwell long upon them is to add to the offence, Not to grieve long for any action, but to go immediately and do freshly and otherwise, subtracts so much from the wrong. Nothing is more silly than the pleasure some people take in 'speak- ing their minds.' A man of that make will say a rude thing for the mere pleasure of saying it, when an opposite behaviour, fully as innocent, might have preserved his friend or made his fortune. Hope is the last thing that dies in men ; and, though it be often ex- ceedingly deceitful, yet it is of this good use to us, that, while we are travelling through life, it conducts us in an easier and more pleasant way to our journey's end. A Remarkable Cure.—J. W. Jennison, Gilford—Spout between $200 and. $300 in consulting Doctors ; tried Dixon's and all other treatments but got no benefit. One box of Chase's Catarrh Cure did me more good than all other remedies, in fact I consider myself cured, and with a25 cent box at that. Troubles spring from idleness, and grievous toils from needless ease.- Franklin. Nearlyeveryone need a good tonic at, this eeasoii. flood's Sarsaparilla is the one true tonic and blood purifier. Refreshing Sleep. Sunlight is good for everything but feathers.' • Away with heavy, hangings, either, above or below the -bed. Beware of a dusty, musty carpet, says Good l olisekeepin '; better sweetness and a bare floor. Do not fail to provide some means for ventilation during the night. keep the head cool while sleeping, but not by a draught of cold air failing upon it. If a folding bed must be used, contrive some way to' keep it aired and wholesome. Let the pillow :be high enough to bring the head in a natural position ; no more or less. .. Thoroughly air the sleeping room every day ; air the bed and bedd- ing as often as possible. A dark, out-ofthe.way, unwhole- some corner is no more fitted for it sleeping room than for a parlor. A feather bed wbieh has done ser- vice for a generation or two is hardly a desirable thing upon which to sleep.

THE BRUTAL BURGLARS MAKE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE. Parkhill, Ont., Sept. 9 .—Friday night about 12, three men—two of whom were small and all of them young,—went to the house of John Bullock, about four miles from Park- hill, on the town line, where Mr. Bullock and, his aged nlotherlive. They tied Mrs. Bullock, who was sleeping downstairs, but she 'scream- ed to her son ' who was upstairs. Then two of the burglars went up- stairs and bound Mr. Bullock also, before he was able to defend himself. They then demanded money, and took matches and burned the soles of his feet until he told them where what money they had was. • The robbers secured about $85 and his watch ;. then they left for the stable, and took • a horse and buggy and departed. ' Mrs. Bullock, after a great deal of difficulty, loosened the rope which bound her, and went to the house of Mr. Ellis, a near neigh. bor, and informed him of what had happened. Mr. Ellis went over and loosened ,the rope which bound Mr. Bullock, and found that the burglars had completely ransacked the house. They were traced for about tour miles east, where they were lost track of. Educational, Regulations.
