A RICH MAN'S FAILURE.
Some time ago a lady visited an
old school friend who had Married a

ed• together for a quiet :Chat she
said, 4C1era, hew is your husband

that? • Is he :Ixot..ntaking A lets •el

toinly call him poor, When We -

That Way of regarding the incident
:utterly misrepresents it. °Never ;sup-
pose for e moment that Christde-

his reverence for Mei by slighting or
neglecting :or deserting an earthly
parent. Why,. the last !tureen ,being
for Wheal Christ provided when. ,.he•
was dying open thecross was his
• mother, He turned and 'oohed to-
ward tiet gentle John, the beloved
disciple, sobbing at his feet, and said
to him : "John, look after :my •'old
mother, , Now , that she is friendless
and 'alone_ she with need your .love
' and stietenance.i.' ',Then he leaked
at the agonized face‘ of his mother'
as he said, "Mother, let john take

you." These are Christ*exact
words "thomen, laehold thy. 'eon!"
, .
"Sen;., behold thy mother!" Thooit
were net the words of one who 'there-
garded -..filial duty. , His riedy was
reeked at that mement..by. 'exceticiat-

not of himself . but ,of .her who, by
.hi o death, would be left, depeitcleht.
It was she for whom he wee concern-

proves that when he spoke to the
young volunteer the words of my

alone in the cotteige Where they were

grew ashamed of the mother who
had done so much !�r them. ' Her
speeeh was het as classical as theirs.
Her hands were callous witli toil;
and in her leeks she was very com-
monplace. Finally,, worn out with
work, she was dying, and ell her

had the best cote feed that money,
could buy, and every possible care.
• But the result is none the less as-

would produce in the fitty-two .weeks
of the year 1,708 Pounds of butter,
