MISCELLANEOUS.
MATERNITY.

Woman's charms are certainly
many and powerful. The expand
ing rose Just bursting into beauty,
has an irresistible bewitchingness !;
the blooming bride led triumphantly
to the hymenial altar, awakens adj
miration and interest, and the blush
of her check fills US with delight;
but the charm of maternity is more
sublime than these. Heaven has
imprinted on the mothers face some.
thing beyond this understanding
which claims kindred with the skies
the angelic smile, and in her look
the waking wa'chful eye which keeps
its fond vigil over the slumbering
babe.
These are objects which neither
the pencil or the chisel can touch,
which poetry fails to exalt. which
the most eloquent tongue in vain
would eulos Sc, and on which all de-
scriplion becomes Ineffective. In the
heart of man lies this lovely picture {;
l. lives in his sympathies /; it reigns
in his affections ; his eyes look a
round in vain for such another Oh
lie un the earth.
Maternity. ecstatic sound, 80 twi-
ned round our heart, that it must
cease TO throb ere We forget Ills
our first loye-'tis part of our reli-
gion. Nature has set the mother on
such pinnacle that our infant eyes
and arms are first uplifted to it.
We cling TO it in manhood we almost
worship it in old age. He who can
enter an apartment, and behold the
tender babe feeding on its mothers
beauty-nourished by the tide of life
which flows through her generous
veins, without painting bosom and
a grateful eye, is no man, but a mon
ster. He who can approach the
cradle of sleeping innocence without
thinking that "of such is the king

parent hang over its beauties. and

should break its slumbers, without a
