IF MOTHER WOULD LISTEN.
If mother would listen to me, dears,
She would freshen the faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hour's rest,
And sometimes a trip to town.
And it shouldn't be all for the children,
The fun and the cheer and the play,
With the patient droop on the tired mouth
And the 'Mother has had her day I"
True, mother has had her day, dears,
When you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and the
house
As busy as ever a bee.
When she rocked you all to sleep, dears,
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out and did without,
And lived by the golden rule.
Aad so your turn has come, dears,
Her hair is turning white,
And her eyes are gaining the far -away
look
That peers beyond the night.
One of these days in the morning
Mother will not be here ;
She will fade away into silence,
The mother so true and dear.
Then what will you do in the daylight,
And what in the gloaming dim ;
And father, tired, lonesome, then,
Pray, what will you do for trim ?
If you want to keep your mother,
You must make her rest to -day ;
Must give her a amara in the frolic,
And draw her into the play.
And, if mother would listen to me, dears,
She'd buy her a gown of silk,
With buttons of royal velvet,
And ruffles as white as milk.
And she'd let you do the trotting,
While she sat still in her chair ;
That mother ehonld have it hard all
through,
It strikes me isn't fair.
ADAM NEVER WAS A 130Y.
Of all the men the world has seen
Since Time his rounds began,
There's one I pity every day—
Earth's first and foremost. Mau,
And then I think what fun be missed
By failing to enjoy
Tine wild delights of yonlhtime, for
He never was a boy.
He never stubbed his naked toe
Against a root or stone ;
He never with a pin hook fished
Along the brook alone ;
He never sought the bumblebee
Among the daisies ooy,
Nor felt its business end, bennee
He never wall a boy.
He never hooky played, nor tied
The ever ready pail
Down in the alley all alone
To trusting Fido's tali,
And when he home from swimming mime
His happiness to ploy
No slipper interefored, because
He never was a boy.
He never out a kite string, no 1
Nor bid an Laster egg ;
He never ruined his pantaloons
Aa playing mumble peg ;
He never from' the attio stoio,
A coon hunt to enjoy,
To find the "old man" watching, for
He never woe a boy.
I pity him. Why ehonld I not ?
I even drop a tear ;
Be did nob know how =oh he missed ;
He never will, I fear.
And when the scenes of "other days"
My growing mind employ
I think of him --earth's only Mao
Who neyer.was a boy;
THE TWO )0LLs,
Two little dolls, so 'I've been told,
Wee lived 00 a shelf together,
Her bead and arms snore all of wax
While his worn of wood and leather.
Her ohoeke wore pink and her ayes ware
blue,
Her hair of a lovely golden hue ;
And therefore you see she could never
deign
To notion a doll who was coarse and
plain.
For so it befell this tiny pair ;
One was for look and one for wear ;
One for 005 and ono for show ;
And goatee the way of the world, yon
know.
When first they met ou the nareery shelf
He greeted bee most urbanely,
She saw that he chits forgot his place
And told him en very planlly.
Your birth is shown in your wooden facie,
Of waxen blood you have nota traoo ;
So, ono0 for all, be it understood.
That wax can never consort with wood.
Then she said with a freezing atare :
"I'm for look and you for wear ;
You're for nae and I'm for shote 1
Anc] that's the way of the world, yon
know,"
All ou a fateful Summer's day
The pair for a walk were taken,
Somebody left them amongst the hay
Aud then they were both forsaken.
Then, while they lay in the noonday sun,
The bloom on her cheeks began to run ;
Her eyes fell ons and hes nose fell in
And she lost forever hen rounded chin ;
Then he, who had never turned a hair,
Baid, "You're for look and I'm for wear,
I'm for use and you for show,
And that's the way of the world, you
know."
'I'IIU'rli IN A NUTSHELL
A soft answer will kill where a club
would not.
Untie the hands of sin and it will out
your throat.
The devil will run from the man who
is not afraid of the truth.
A man ie generally lying when he tells
you that he is too poor to give.
No Christian can think of failing until
he has stopped counting on God to help.
Some men are more apt to be con-
trolled by prejudice that by principle.
Obsourity on earth will not keep you
from owning a mansion near the throne
in heaven.
It is better to have grace enough to
stand the thorn than it is to have the
thorn taken away.
There are people who want religion but
they dont want enough to spoil them for
anything else.
If we peep praise alive there will be no
look of joy in the heart.
A loafer in church is as worthless AS
he is anywhere else.
The sin that will keep you out of the
Bible will keep you out of heaven.
The devil already has a good start in
the family where no religions paper is
taken.
God will not keep away from any place
where two or three hearts are hungering
for his presence.
"Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall."
The man who is a sbranrer to God can
not become well acquainted with him-
self.

A Bovine Fox Chaser.

off the trawls and drove it to the fence,
whore he caught it on his horns juat AS it
was trying to eeoape between the rails.
' The steer gored the dog to death in a
hurry, when ha flung the carcass from
his horns and ran 1i11e wildfire toward
the hounds in the next field.
By that time the fox watt jaded and al-
most as soon as the steer had caught up
to the bounds the latter overhauled tired
1Zeynard and shoots him to death, Then
the etoer began to bellow and when 111Ir,
White reached the spot the hounds had
born the fox's hide into sbripa while the
steer chewed its cud and looked on con.
tenbealy.
P. 0. White, who lives on the high-
lands of Elkland township, osvnea four
foxhounds and a two•year•old Devon-
shire steer named Pete. The steer be-
came attached .to the hounds when he
was a calf and in the following Fall he
got in the notion of running and bellow-
ing after them whenever Mr. White start-
ed the pack on a fox chase. Pete would
race behind the hounds till a fence stop-
ped him and there he would stand and
low till the pack went out of sight over
the hills, when he trotted bask to the
barnyard and aoted as if he was lone-
some till the hounds returned.
When the fax hunting season opened a
year ago this Fall the steer was as eager
to follow the hounds as he was when a
calf. He was grazing in a pasture with
the other cattle when Mr. White took the
hounds afield, and the moment the pack
began to bay the steer threw up his head
and tail and started across the lot on a
wild canter, bellowing as he made fur the
noisy doge. Pete had grown tall and
long -bodied and he bounded over the
highest fences like a deer and soon naught
up with the hounds. He entered into
the spirit of the sport as though he knew
what the hounds were abasing, and he
kept close to their heels for two hours
aid a half, when Mr. White put an end
to the sport by shooting the fox. After
sniffing at the dead animal the steer
kicked up his heels and tagged Mr. White
and the hounds back to the house. Dur-
ing the rest of the season the steer went
wild with delight whenever he saw Mr.
White start out with the dogs and the
picturesque eight at the dark -red animal
racing and bellowing after the hounds at-
tracted so much attention that Mr.
White let Pete take part in every chase
in the Winter and Spring.
Last Wednesday Mr. White pub three
bounds on a fox's track in a ewale on his
place. 13e stole out of the back way with
Elie hounds, and Pete, who was in the
barnyard when the dogs gave tongue,
leaped over the fence in ajiffy, flew down
the road, sprang over a stone wall and
dashed after the baying brutes before
they had run bhe fox five minutes. The
dogs drove the fox into a swamp where
the steer could not go and Pete galloped
around the edge till Reynard led the
bounds to the uplands, when he made
the snow fly with his hoofs and quickly
joined the dogs.
Within an hour the hounds made the
pose so hot for the fox that he began to
play tricks on them to throw them off
the scent. He ran on to a bridge and
then leaped off the end, but he did not
fool the clogs there and they continued to
gain on him. Then lie took a spurt 0n
a wall and down at Charles Oram's farm
he emoted through the (rout yard, ran
over a pile of cordwood and started

The hounds and steer were nob far be.
Bind when the fox and dog bad got to the
meadow fence, and in the adjoining field
the former gained on them fast, Oram'a

at the top of bis speed when the steer

The Plight of William.
Ib was a farmer's wagon, and in it was
the farmer, wife and daughter and a
young man of about 22. He had long
hair and a dreadful homesick expression
of countenance. As he sat beside the
girl on the seat his back humped up, and
his eyes seemed to stare into vacancy.
The girl had red hair and a oomplaosnt
look. The outfit drove tip to the Michi-
gan avenue entranoe to the city hall, and
the farmer turned to the young roan and
said :
"Come, William—you get a license
right in hero."
"I don't wanter 1" repliedl the young
roan as the bump in his book gob up and
bumped itself a little more.
"Bub you've got to. Yes asked Bary
to have you over a year ago, and I don't
purpose to have any more foolin
around."
It hain'b right by Sary," added the
mot ber.
"He's backed out three times," pub in
Sarah as she looked carelessly around
and obewed vigorously on a quid of gum.
"Paver off till Obristmas," pleaded
William, with one foot over the side of
the wagon.
Not a darned putt" stoutly replied the
father. "You go in and get that license 1
If they want any of as, you come to the
door and holler."
"If you don't want Sary, what did you
ask her fur ?" demanded the mother.
"Hain't she good'nuff fur yon? Hain't
we as good as Beebes ? I'd like to know
if we hain't."
"I could hes married somebody else,"
said Sarah, with a toss of her head. "If
anybody don't want to mazy me, I don't
want to marry them. If he wants to
flunk, let him do it 1"
"Sary, you shut up 1" exclaimed the
father. "I'm runnin this 'ere marriage
bizneas myself, as is my duty to. When
a feller has sparked my gal for three
years—when he's sot in my parlor every
blamed night fur 12 months—when he's
sot the weddin day three or four times
hisself and backed water every time,
then I take a hand and ask him what be
means."
"Can't I wait a month ?" asked Wil.
liam as he stood on the hub of the wheel.
"Not a blamed minis 1 Yon get that
license ! That's what you agreed to do
last night, and that's what you corns to
town fur to day."
William dropped to the curbstone,
shook some of the hump out of hie back
and toiled up the stops and disappeared
within the building. Sarah chewed gum
and looked at the street oars, while the
old folks watched for William and talked
about the wedding. Half an hour passed;
and the man became nervous. At the
end of another 15 minutes he jumped
down and entered the building. To a
policeman in the corridor he said :
"I'm a•lookinz fur a lob shouldered,
humpbacked feller about 22 years old,
who bad on a gray suit. He come in
here fur a marriage license."
"How long ago ?"
"Party nigh an hour."
"I met him on the Fort street side.
Yes, I remember him. Ele simply pass.
ed down the corridor and out of that
door."
"How was he lookin ?"
"Rather pale and wild."
"And breathin hard ?"
"Yes."
"And glanoin behind him ?
"Yes—looking over his shoulder."
"And what sort of a gait did he have?"
"Almost a run."
"Flunked agin, by thunder 1" exclaim-
ed the father as he struck the wall a
hard blow.
How flunked ?" queried the officer.
"Why, he's shook my gal, beat the ole
woman and biked me, and was probably
safe in Canada half an hour ago i I
think I'll go down to the river and look
aoroee. Mabbe I'll see William on the
furreign shore, and if I do I want to
make a few mosbuns at him. I want to
make a moshun of piokin him up mud

ground, and then breakin him in two
