Morris -Field -Rogers-Co LISTOWV'EL. Two Y1omeh- Galdef Days: "Brass, copper, iron, but never gold. Life, like the age, returns not to gold- en innocence. It were better, I think eometimes, that we had not been born," said Mrs Wilton. "I have never thought so.' th n womanho answered who sat bya this wtablas ssew- ing. Forty summers and winters had not passed without leaving the marks of scorching suns and traces of frost. But neither summer heats nor winter's cold—nor any storm that swept down upon her life—had really marred the beauty of her face. You saw signs of their having touched her; but every sign was in the process of obliteration. Like tempest and drought marks upon the earth, the dews of peace, the gent- ly falling rains, the, mild sdnshine, were covering them with verdure. - The dress and air of the visitor who had just spoken showed her to be a woman in easy circumstances. The two had been close friends in early life; but it so happened that their ways in the world had been along diverging paths. Mrs Wilton had married a "rising man" who soon lifted her into a sphere of fashionable elegance, where fora long period she held a kind of queenly sway. Mrs Grover had been less fortunate in the world's eye. Her husband lacked those qualities by which men rise into high places. But apart from this, he was a true man in all the better meanings of the phrase; and,so far as happiness was concer his wife had a larger share than fe the lot of her friend, Mrs Wil . Ease. idleness, luxury, was the lot of one; care, labor and self-denial as to many external things, the lot of the other. After twenty years of diver- gence their ways had touched again. The old regard had been quickened in-, to life. Mrs Wilton found more real satisfaction in an hour's talk with her friend of her youth than in days of intercourse with her fashionable ac- quaintance, and so came often to the _" humble residence of \Its Grover, now bore all Home was my garden,and these children were my flowers. With What"untiring• solicitude did 1 watch over them, Every weed that pushed its leaves above the soil I plucked out by the roots. Every vile worm, or destructive in- sect, that fastened on root or stem, I removed, I kept the ' ground loose, that dew, sunshine and air might -goo down to the roots and give them au ever increasing vitality; and 1 trained the branches into such beauty of form as my skill and their peculiarities would admit. There was little time for ease, for pleasure, for self-indul- gence. I could not eat the bread of idleness. I often got weary over my never ending tasks. But this assur- ance was in my heart: "Train up a child in the- way he should go, and - when he is old he will not depart from it." My faith was unquestioning. I had. peace and hope in my friend." And Mrs Grover laid her hand upon her breast. "And what of your children now?" asked Mrs Wilton. "Two are with their father in heav- en—safe and happy. My youngest, whom you have seen—a dear loving, thoughtful little girl—is at school. And here is a letter from my eldest son, now in a Western city, whither he went two years ago, at the solicita- tion of a merchant who had taken a fancy to him." Mrs Grover took from a drawer in her work -table a letter and read: - "DEAREST MOTHER—Everything going right with me. Mr L --is one of the best of men, and I am doing all in my power to give him satisfaction. I could not deny myself the pleasure of reading to him, a'few sentences from your last letter, where you speak so beautifully on the subject of doing right under any circumstances for the sake of right, and not for the sake of pleasing or getting worldly gain. He did not say anything but I could see at he' was pl ased.bthe On thion oe dayhisface after the said to me: 'Frank, has your mother an in- come?' I could only tell him the truth. He looked serious for a little while. Then he asked how much of my salary I remitted you; and when _answered that I sent all except on undred dol- lars, on which I clothed myself, he took my hand and said: 'Frank. that is the best thing I have beard of you. You are a good boy, and will never be a loser "by anything done for your mother.' I felt very proud mother. Praise is "good sometimes. "Well, on the next day Mr L --- said to me: 'Frank, has your mother any particular reason for remaining at the East?' And when I answered, 'None that I know of,' he said: 'Write ned, to her, and convey my earnestsolicita- ton11 to tion to remove to this place. Tell her On this occasion she had• referred gloomily to the progression of her life, and spoke with bitterness of her disappointment. Her husband was so absorbed in his business, now grown to a magnitude that taxed every power CV his mind, that she said of him: "I have no husband." Children, neglect- ed in earlier years by the pleasure -lov- ing mother and the business -loving father, had grown up without that moral culture so essential in the for- mation o1 character. Nay, worse; had been left to the care of coarse, and often impure -minded servants, for so• large a part of their time that perver- sions and vitiations had occurred of such a nature as visibly affected their whole after lives. Now the disappoint- ed mother had Little pleasure in them; now, when turning athirst from the world to cisterns where love should have gathered its precious waters, she found them broken into fragments. • "Brass, copper, iron; h, never gold. Life, like the age, returliff not to gold- en innocence.'' Thus, in the bitterness of her disap- pointment, had she spoken. "Both the ages and the life may re- turn," answered Mrs Grover, a light breaking through her pale, translucent face. "The age will return. Iron, cop- per, brass, silver, gold. The reverse action long ago commenced. History has marked its pr•ugress for eighteen hundred years. If our lives return not, the fault is our own. As for me, • I aro looking forward to golden days. Already the sky is lifting in the east, incl I see faint gleams along the dim horizon." How strongly were these two womet contrasted! The one in plain, poo garments, with the wasting marks o along over -tasked physical life every that I have two or three pleasant lit- tle houses, of which she can make her choice; and that on the day that she arrives I will double yo+'r salary, so that there can remain no question as to the ways and means of living in comfort.Wasn't that good? Wasn't that noble? Don't you wonder how I could keep this good news back from the first sentence of my letter? It was hard wor k. But I wanted to lead you on, dear mother, and not make the surprise, too -sudden. "Of course you will come! Tiere Th nothing to keep you in P—. When shall I expect you anis dear Fanny? I shall hardly know her—you say she has grown so much. Oh, won't we all be so happy together? You shall live an easier life here than you have ever lived. With my salary doubled, there will he no more hard work for you. The golden days are corning, mother! Write immediately. I shall he all im- patience until I get your letter. Your loving son, FRANK." Mrs Grover's voice had faltered sev- eral times as she read this letter, and as she lifted her eyes, on closing it, to her friend, they were full of tears-- glad tears, in which love's sunshine made rain -bows. "So you see that my golden days are coming," she said. Mrs Wilton dropped her gaze to the floor and sighed heavily. For her no golden days like these were coming. While idle, neglectful. and asleep, an enemy had sowed tares in her field, and now she was in the harvest time of bitter regrets and disappointments. In the pure mirror of her friend's life she saw reflected the errors; the criminal neglect, the poor .self-seeking and vanity of her own; and she went. away in sadness' and self -condemna- tion. But the truth which had come to her came too late. The evil had been done. For her, as she had well said, there were no golden days in store, to make beautiful the last period of her life on earth. As she had sown, so must she reap. To each comes his own harvest. r Valuable vegetable remedies are used in f l the preparation of Hood's Sarsaparilla in Where to be seen a out her person; ECONOMY AND STRENGTH. such a peculiar manner as to retain the full medicinal valve of every ingredient.

Still stronger was the mental contrast as it stood written in their faces. Years of disappointment had with one been making their silent, al- most imperceptible record, while years of patient. love and duty of Christian faith and hope, had left their signs upon the other. For a little while Mrs Wilton looked at her old friend with a suprise she did not attempt to conceal. That she was in earnest the tender thrill in her low vcice, and the sweet peace that. per,.., vaded her countenance were testi- monials. "Golden days in your future! For- give me, Helen, that I expressed sur- prise," said Mrs Wilton; "But what can one in your situation look forward to in the time to come?" "As to worldly good?" "Yes." "I have children." A cloud fell over Mrs Wilton's face. "Children! She leans on a broken reed who leans on them. I have never had pleasure in children. It has been disappointment from the beginning." "It has been different with me," re- plied Mrs Grover. "I have always had pleasure in my children. The sweet- est days of my life were these spent with my babies in my arms. They were very close to heaven. In the golden days•'of their infantile inno- cence, angels were near them, and my soul heal a blessed perception of the presence. had care, and work, and self-denial; but the compensation was Chlidren Cry for Pitcher's eostoria.

Rathgerber's mother lived on Groveland avenue. She is a well preserved }roman of 91 years, and is known as one of the wealthiest women on the South Side, having property said tip be valued at nearly $1,006,000. A brother-in-law, who lives on Cottage Grove avenue, is rated at nearly the same sum. The father of the dead man, who died only three years ago, was reputed one of the richest men in the city, having made n fortune in the real estate business. Robert Rathgerber himself was once a millionaire, with large business in- terests in New York. He had a handsome wife and a bright son. An uncontrollable thirst for liquor, it is said, led him to nog lent his wife and business, until the former secured a divorce. A flood Showing. The following in reference to the Do- minion Life Assurance Company is olipped from The Bulletin, one of the leading Insurance and financial journals in Canada, and`one which can be relied upon as good authority:— "The year 1893 was another twelve months of good. •things for the Dominion Life Insurance Company. The oard in this issue straws that not only has steady progress been made in the amount of busi- ness in force, the number of policies issued, amount of premiums, interest and gross assets, from year to year from the com- pany's birthi n j,1888, to present date, but that the death claims have been few and small iu a remarsable degree, showing possible "good luck" but positive careful selection of risks. The total cash income of the year 1893 amounted to $43,830.07; the death claims only $2,000; gross assets $139,005.75, and what is remarkable in so o young 64,300.001i over is that it as a surlus t rall liabilities, capital stock paid up included. ];t is a very hand- some showing and one that does great credit to the management."
