if *ere it one human feellog free from the la.,
of earthly frailty, that tells us in the slightest breath.
of its celestial origin, it is that of a mother's love—
' mother's chute, overwhelming. and everlasting love
far her children.
The name of a mother is our childhood's talisman—
ear refuge and oar safeguard in all our misery edit the
grit halt-formed word that falls from the babbling
gigue, the first idea that dawns on the opening mind;
• first, the fondest, and the most lasting tie in which
election can bind the heart of man ! It is born the
beginning the same and unchangeable. It owes not its
Wog to this world, or the things in ibis world. but is,,
ladependent and self-existent; enduring whilst the
Pulse of life animates the breast that fosters is ; and if
there be anything of mortality that survives the grave,
am* its best and noblest passion wilt never perish.,
Oh ! it is a pure and holy emulation of Heaven's mercy,
implanted in the heart of woman for the dearest and
nicest purpose, tote at once her truest and most sacred
pleasure, and the safety and the blessing of her oti•
spring 1--'Tis not a selfish passion, depending for its
immanency on the reciprocation of advantages ; but
to its sincerity. It easteth not itself, and centres but in
the happiness of its object; and when the welfare of
that object is at stake, it putteth away fear, and knoweth
ant weariness. It is not excited by formica featute,hut
rather by a happy perversion of perception, embnes all
things with an imagtoary beauty.
It watches beer our helpless infancy with the cea
less benignity of a guardian angel ; anticipates every
childish wish, honours every wayward fancy, south*
every transient sorrow, sings oar sweet lalleby to
nod cradles us oo its warm and throbbing breast; and,
when pain and sickness prey upon the fragile form;
what medicine is there like a mother's kisses ? wh

Meagerness of maternal fondness amid the sad yet
not unpleasing contest of hopes and fears, aria deep
Opaieties. When the rugged path of e has been
bravely, patiently, and nobly trodden ; when prospe-
rity has smiled upon us; when virtue has upheld us
pond the world's temptations; virtue which she herself
