ON MATERNAL AFFECTION.

Who that has mother fondly bending over
her infant babe, ard gazing with the mixed feelings
Of love and tenderness on the image which it pre-
sents to her that will withhold the tribute of re-
spect To see her, in all the enthusiastic feelings
Of the heart, clasp her offspring to her bosom-to
view her lulng, by the soft melody Of her voice,
the helpless innocent into bamy sleep, and to sur
vey her as she watches the sleeping moments of her
darling child, while with anxious socitude she an
tcipaes its every want, is sight, at which heroes
and statesmen, philosophers and sages may stand
for a moment and gaze with delight.
Is there feeling that acuatcs the human heart
SO powerfully that Of maternal affection Who
but woman, lovely woman, can feel that tender SEN
saton SO strong The father, indeed, NAV press
his lovely infant to his manly heart but does it tlrob
with those feelings which rress;ibly overcome the
mother Does his masculine form trcnble with the
anxious solcitulc for the welfare of his child
No, though tics of blood and nature inscparablv
connect them in the bonds of affection and love,
Still his nsatate bosom is incapable Of the tender
feelings Ola mother; While She aliycto all the scn,i-
biltea of the soul in aroI, ,m Of love and delight

What power but the Eternal Can separate tic fond
mother from the being she has given lift to No
pathlcss desert, nor gloomy fore st. nor tr~cklcss
ocean, with all their unnunbercd dangers, can de-
ter her intrepid soul from seeking her otispins in
the hour Of trial
Maternal affection is inherent in the nature Of
woman-it is planted within tien-it is Is lasting
as the existence Of human feeling, and While rca-
son holds her scat, the feeling, Of mother, heart

Wrapt up in these contemplations, stood and
gazed, until the carriers had lifted up the bier, and
removed some distance towards the village church
the gHttcrng spire of which bazed now in
clear sun above the green copse at the foot Of the
hill.
The sable clad mourners slowly descended from
the piazza and moved with taultering step towards
it. The procession formed in the rear, and the
whole began to wind slowly down the village
road.
The tendency of men to lcvity-their pronencss
to forget every warnng-the fathessness Of friend
ship, began already to appear. Tie smile Of mer-
liment returned gradually; the affairs of the dav
were familiarly discussed; and the plans and pros
poets and business of common life occupied every
tongue around me- The mourners alone appeared
to feel the strolc-or to remember with a SINGLE

straw and gravel were thrcwn in upon it, and the
burial, completed in taste, seemed almost to be-
token Impotence to put away from sight all that
remained Of the departed one. The relatives had
taken last look-thc crowd had paused in silence
for a moment; tie last tribute was paid, and the
multitude rolled away more rapidly than they had
collected. few friends only accompanied the
mourning family back to the mansion on the Hill
and, having lotcred few moments bv the grave,
followed them.

Where the landscape Is always feast to the eve,
And the bills of The warblels are ever in song

And carol the winter away in the glow
That rolls DER the evergreen bower of the line
Indeed would gloomily steal DER the deep
Like the stornl-loNing petrol, that Skins there

would take me dear little martin to keep
sociable flight to the tropical zone;
How cheerily, wing by wing, the sea,
We would fly from the dark clouds of winter
away,
And forever song and our twitter should be-
"To the land where the year is eternally gay
We would nestle awhile in the ijessamne bowers,
And take up our lodge in the crown of the palm,
And i've like the bee, its fruits and its flowers,
That always are flowing with honey and balm,
And there We would stay, till the winter is DER,
And April is chequered with sunshine and rain
then we would fit from that far distant shore.
Over island and wave to our country again.
