A Mother’s Love.
Where the autumn sun is shining
Through a leafy maze o’erhead,
There a iassie sits repiulng, '
All the joy within her dead.
It is but the old, old story
Of a lover proved untrue,
Yet life seems to lose its glory-
All its hopeful roseate hue.
Then, with patient, sweet endeavor,
Lovingly her mother tries
To dismiss despair forever—
Chase the sorrow from her eyes. .
And the tender words, revealing
All the unspoken love of years.
Wake a newer, holler feeling,
Bring the priceless gift of tears.
Well may hearts cease all repining,
In a mother's love secure;
Love that needs no Iire’s refilling,
Ever watchful, ever sure i
Love that's like a pure stream walling
From a heaven-fed mountain crest i
Love all earthlylove excelling—~'
Love the truest and the best !
Moo—oo—
An Odd Mistake.
Mr. Gray was a man who had com-
mitted a great blunder. He had re.
tired! And now time hung heavy on
his hands, and he knew not what to do
with himself. So, for lack of better
occupation, he took to calling on a cer-
tain plump widow of his acquaintance,
who had a remarkably pretty daughter.
Bessie Peploe was a younger edition
to her mother. They had the some
black eyes, rosy cheeks, and wavy hair,
and truth compels us to add, the some
quick temper.
“I'll never marry old Gray,” Bessie
told Mrs. Peploe. defiantly, after the
manner of the young lady who refused
aman before he “axed her,” for Mr.
Gray had not yet proposed, although
every evening he presented himself at
the widow's dwelling, and sat by the
fireside, in the most comfortable chair
in the room.
“We shall see,” returned the elder
lady, and her bright eyes flashed, for
she had set her mind upon the marriage
and already regarded Bessie as the
mistress of Mr. Gray's comfortable
house in the high street of the little
town in which they resided.
“Yes, we shall see," muttered Bessie,
and putting on her hat, slipped out to
have a walk with her pdmirer, Jack
Wilkins, to whom she ' confided her
trouble.
Jack was poor, and for that reason
had refrained from offering his hand
to pretty Bessie; but when ‘she told
him that old Gray was after her he
could no longer disguise hisfeelings,
and before they parted the girl he loved
had consented to be his wife.
“What will mother say?” thought
Bessie with a sigh, as they parted at the
gate of Mrs. Peploe’s cottage. “That
horrid man will be there. ’3
That hon-id man was there in an arm-
chair opposite Mrs. Peploe.
He smiled at Beesié as she entered;
but Bessie frowned at him in return,
and his face fell. That evening the
girl was absolutely sullen ; she spoke in
'monosyllables, and ill-temper deprived
her pretty face of half its beauty.
“I am afrrid her mind is set against
it," Mr. Gray told himself, with a sigh,
"and we might all be so happy, if she
could only look "at the matter in a
proper light ; but I siippose its natural."
And he redoubled his efforts to be
agreeable—poor little man ! for he had
an affectionate 11eart,-and his big house
was dull and lonely.
But Bessie’s face never relaxed its set
expression. She hated the man, and
meant to let him see it, in defiance to
her mother’s angry glances. IVhat
business had aman old enough to be
her father to come courting her?
“You have behaved disgracefully,”
her mother said, when Mr. Gray had
taken his departure. “It is so wicked
to trifle with the love of any man."
“ I have never trified with his love,"
retorted her daughter; “he must know
thatIhate him. I have never, never
attempted to disguise it; now have I,
mother f"
“You are a fool,” said her mother,
bluntly. " Mr. Gray is the best chance
you have ever had, or will ever have,
and I insist upon your saying yes when
he asks you to be his wife."
“Mother," oried Bessie, impulsively,
throwing her arms around her mother’s
waist, hiding her face in her bosom.
“Mother, I have already said yes to
somebody else—somebody I love dearly. "
“What l” gasped Mrs. Peploe, freeing
herself of her daughter’s embrace.
“Whatl” _
“It is true enough, ”said Bessie, in a
faltering voice. “Jack has asked me
to marry him, and I have said yes. ”
“ Without consulting me i" exclaimed
her mother, angrily, looking at her
with a stern, reproachful face.
“ I love him," returned Bessie: “ He
is the only man in the worldI could
ever care for. ” .
“Stufi‘ and nonsense !" cried Mrs.
. Peploe. “Even if I liked'the young
man—which I don’t—your marrying
,_ him would be out of the question. He
can’t afford to keep you."
"I am not afraid of poverty," said
Bessie, bravely; “beside, we are not
going to marry in haste. We can wait. "
”Poor fool!" and Mrs. Peploe’s lips
curled. “I know what this waiting
means for the woman. She goes on
trusting and believing in his promises,
and then when her beauty has faded,
he turns round and marries some one
else."
“Even thgn,” said Bessie, “the
woman is better off than if she had tied
herself to somebody she could not
love.”
“ Oh, yes, you are mad—quite mad,"
returned Mrs, Peploe; “but thank
goodness, you have a mother who won't
allow you to make an idiot of yourself.
You will marry Mr. Gray, and forget
all about that ,misguided young man
who ought to be ashamed of himself.
"What for ?” asked Bessie, with re-
sentment. - .
“For proposing to a girl whom he
has no means of keeping in comfort,"
returned» Mrs. Peploe. “You are a
pair of lunatics;but, fortunately, I’ve
some sense left, and I won't stand by
and see‘ my daughter mined for life."
And she fiounced ofi‘ to bed without
giving Bessie the usual good night’s
kiss. Poor girl, she missed it sorely,
and sobbed herself to sleep; but she
meant to be true to Jack all the same.
Not even her mother’s anger could in-
duce her to give him up and consent to
marry old Gray. , ,
She treated the object of her dislike
with the greatest coldness on his next
visit, and succeeded in making him
look thoroughly miserable. But he
brightened considerably when Mrs.
Peploe, to atone for her daughter's
rudeness, sought to engage him in con-
versation. Indeed the grateful little
man ventured to give the elder lady’s
hand a gentle squeeze when he arose to
take his departure, and, to his surprise
and joy it was warmly returned. ‘3
“Now, if Miss Peploe would only get
over her objection, how happy and
comfortable we should all be," he
thought as he trudged home. “Hulloa,”
coming suddenly face to face with a.
handsome young fellow in a shabby
ulster. “How are you, Jack Wilkins ?”
" Oh, I am all right, thank’you,” said
Jack, sulkily, and strode on without
another word, while little Mr. Gray'
stood gazing after him with a look of
cr fnprehension on his face.
“I suppose she has been telling him
all about it," he said to himself witha
sigh. "It’s natural,.1 suppose, but it’s
selfish, too. Yes, it is a little, bit sel-
fiish .of them.” And, shaking his head,
the old gentleman knocked at the door
of his house—that large, gloomy house
'thatl-ml never seemed homelikc since
u...
the death of that sister who had been
his right hand. _
When we think we are going to make
people happy, it is hard to find that ‘we
are regarded as an enemy, and Mrs
Gray retired to rest in rather dismal
spirits. He arose the next morning
with a determination of putting an end
to'his suspense by offering himself and
his home to the object of his attach-
ment; he could bear the suspense no
longer. .
When he arrived at the widow's cot-
’ - tags that evening Bessie was not at
home. She had gone out totea with
some friends, Mrs. Poploe said.
“I’m glad she's not at home, dear
Mrs. Peploe," said Mr. Gray, looking
very red, and nervous. “I am glad
she is not at home because it gives me
an opportunity of saying something
that is near to my heart.” ,
He edged a little nearer to the widow
as he spoke. and she smiled at him in
an encouraging way. She was a hand-'
some woman "aud her smile revealed the
whitest teeth in‘ the world. .
“Pray go on, Mr. Gray," she said.
“lam all attention."
Mr. Gray coughed, and looked ex-
cessively uncomfortable. He wished
that the widow would avert her bright
eyes from his face; her, steady gaze
confused him, and he scarcely knew
what he was going tosay. Ho hardly
liked to risk popping the question, for
a refusal would mean banishment from
the cheerful. fireside where he had spent
so many pleasant hours. But the
widow was waiting for him to speak,
and he could not back out now; he had
gone to far. ~Poor little man! His
‘ heart was beating like a sledge-hammer.
How still the room was. He started
as the ashes fell upon the hearth This
awful silence must be broken, 'or what
would the widowthink of him? He
must say something.
“You must have known my object in
coming here so often," he blurted out
at last. ’
“Well, I think I have guessed it,"
returned Mrs. Peploe. continuing the
stitchesin the stocking she was knit-
ting.
" I thought you would," observed Mr.
Gray, considerably embarrassed by he!
reply, but relieved‘at the some time.
for it saved him the ordeal of a long ox-
planation. “Well, since you have
guessed my secret, can you give me
hope i’"
The widow was silent for a few mo-
ments, and Mr. Gray gazed at herin
the deepest anxiety, his heart throb-
bing with joy and fear. His home
would seem more lonely. than over if he
returned to it a disappointed man.
“I will .be frank with you," she said
presently. “As far as I unconcerned
there is no possible objection to the
marriage; but Bessie is so young and
foolish that-—”
“Ah yes! I thought she would ob-
ject,” said Mr. Gray, rubbing his face
with a. red silk pocket-handkerchief.
“But don't you think you could bring
her round ? I'd be so kind to her that
I'm sure she’d get over her dislike of the
idea. Now couldn’t you induce her to
be more reasonable ?"
“I have ' tried my best," said the
widow, with a deep sigh. But the girl
is wild and headstrong. I seem to have
lost all influence over her. "
“Then, after .111, there is no hope for
me," said Mr. Gray, looking terribly
crestfalleu. “I thought we should be
such a happy family—we four."
“We four !" repeated Mrs. Peploe.
staring at him as if she thought Ehe had
completely taken leave of his senses.
“Yes, we four! why not ?” asked Mr.
Gray. “ I know Jack Wilkins is very
fond of Bessie, and I fancied we should
all be happy together, if I could only
induce you to say yes 1' ” "
" Then it is not Bessie you want,”
said the widow, dropping stitches in her
stocking, and blushing like a girl, as the
truth flashed through her mind.
“Bessie!" exclaimed Mr. Gray, laugh-
ing heartily. “What should I want with
a child like that? Didn't you know,"
here he grew suddenly grave, " that it
was you I wanted, Janet.” ,
“We all thought it was Bessie,"'stam-
mered Mrs. Peploe. ' “Oh what a fool
I have been. " '
“Don't say that.” returned Mr. Gray
in a sad tone of voice. “It is I who
have been a fool to think you could, ever
care for me. "
The widow made no reply to this, but
gave him a glance that spoke volumes.
In another moment his arm was around
her waist, and he had stolen a kiss.
“And you think that Bessie won’t
object ?" he said anxiously.
“I am sure she won’t," returned Mrs.
Peploe, with a twinge of conscience, as
she thought of the way in which she
had received Bessie's confession of love
for Jack Wilkins.
“I don’t 'know so much about that,"
said a merry voice from the doorway,
and Mr. Gray hastily drew his arm from
the widow’s waist as Bessie entered the
room.
That kiss had opened the young lady's
eyes as to the real state of aflairs,
and she knew in a moment that her
mother had been the real object of Mr.
Gray‘s affections. But why had she not
seen it before? She was angry with
herself for being such an idiot. What
in the world would Jack say? Would
he be pleased to find that Mr. Gray
was an imaginary rival?
essic pulled aside the blind and
looked out to see Jack, who had escorted
.her home, standing on the opposite
pavement with his eyes fixed on the
cottage. Mr. Gray fOIIOWed her, and,
after peering over her shoulder, vanished
from the room, while at the same mo-
ment her mother called her away from
the window.
. “Bessie,” said Mrs. Peploe, between
laughing and crying, “forgive me for all
the hard things I said to you."
“I will, indeei ,” returned Bessie,
heartily, as she kissed her mother ; “but
what fools we have been! We must
have been as blind as bats not to see it
was yomhe wanted all the time."
Just then the- door opened, and Mr.
Gray entered, accompanied by Jack
Wilkins. The four looked at each other
in silence for a few minutes, and then,
tzckled by the absurdity of the situation,
{lack went into convulsions of laughter.
His mirth was contagious, and all laugh-
ed merrily, although Bessie tried to look
indignant. _
" Ali's well that ends well,” observed
Mr. Gray, rubbing his hands, and then
be bent forward and audaciously kissed
Mrs. Peploe right before the eyes of the
young people.
It wxfs not long before a double wed-
ding was celebrated, Mr. Gray having
lent Jack the money to start in business
for himself, and from that day to this
neither of the two couples have regretted
lheir choice.

COOKS.
Cooks are always conceited. Perhaps
their occupation makes them so. The
most precious sauce, for a young cook,
is impudence. Boast away and never
be tired of it. A modest cook must be
looked on as a contradiction in nature. If
he be quiet and modest, he will be held
as a pitiful cook. It is related of a
famous cook that he prepared-fish so
exquisitely that they returned him
admiring and grateful looks from the
frying-pan. It was doubtless the same.
cook who declared that he had dis-
covered the principle of immortality.
and that the odor of his dishes would
recall life into the nostrils of the very
dead. ‘ It was Bechamel who said that,
withthe sauce he had invented, a man
would experience nothing but delight
in eating his own grandfather.

PURGED 0F .CONTEMPT.
Henri Litz, a German butcher in Con-
trol Mississippi, was recently ,indicted
by the grand jury of his county for
“profane swdring upon the public
highway in the presence of two or more
witnesses." ‘
It seems that he was driving a lot of
cattle and they became unruly and took
to the woods, and it was while he was
trying to get them back into the road
that he lost his temper and gave utter-
ance to a lot of f‘ cuss words."
When the case came on for trial he _
appeared as his own counsel and
admitted that he had used the oaths as
charged. but justified himself onl‘thc
score that the cattle were hisowu prop-
erty, and argued that "if he had the
right to kill them he certainly had the
right to curse them. "
‘ But his Honor didn’t look at it in that
light; and, after rcprimauding him
severely, fined him 81 and costs—in all
about $5. '
“ I von't bay it, " said Henri.
“Mr. Clerk, " said his Honor, “ enter
up a fine of $5 against the accused for

By that time the Sherifi had got Henri ‘
out of the court-room and a deputy was
taking him'to jail.
The Judge sent word to him next
morning that ”ifho would purge him-
self of contempt he would remit all the
fines except the original one."
Henri agreed to the proposition, and
after some instructions from the Sherifi',
who told him' he had made a mistake in
not employing'a lawyer, presented him-
self at the. bar of the court.

TH E BEDOUIN DUEL.
The Bedonius have astrong feeling
of personal dignity, and are quick to
resent insults. Duels of a peculiar kind
are not uncommon, always supervised
by the elders of the tribe. who never
permit them to come to a fatal termina-
tion. Sometimes the- two adversaries,
separated by two parallel ropes about a
yard apart, are armed with courbashes
(a fearful whip, made of hippopotamus
hide, which brings the blood with every
cut) and they are encouraged to lash
each other until their wrath is cooled.
In more serious cases the combatants
are seated flat on the ground, face to
face, as close as they can get. Ono
single knife is given to the one who
wins the first out, after which he passes
it to his adversary, who strikes the
second blow, and so on alternately.
They are forbidden to strike at a vital
parkland while they are slashing each
other‘s arms, legs, thighs and shoulders
—not without a sort of chivalrous cour-
- tesya—the judges of ’ the combat watch
each stroke that is, given, and when in
their opinion enough blood has been
shed, they rise and separate the adver-'
saries, who proclaim themselves satis-
fied, and return quietly to their tents to
have their wounds dressed. '
