THE MOTHERS PRAYER.

heard a prayer-amd cen an angels car
Might thrill with rapture such prayr to hear;
heard prayer-the Holy one and HIGH,
Was pleased to listen to his landmarks cry!
saw a Mother lift her eyes to heaven,
And heard her claim the Joy of sins forgiven.
Not for herselE-for she through years had known,
The happiness that Christians feel alone
But for her children that prayer expressed,
That heaven at last, might be their mutual rest.
That let the world, with all its pomp and pride,
Glow as it might on times deceitfui tide,
Let penury with all its frOwns, descend,
And earth be bankruptfo worthy friend
Still might the hand Divine their footsteps lead,
And grant them grace sufficient for their need.
And was she answered?
All that Mother died,
And left her children in the world OF PRIDE
Yet scarcely had she prais'd the Lord above,
Before her children sung redeeming love-
And while rejoicings sounded round the throne,
Their grateful voices mingled with her own!
Yet to whose care Jehovah has consignd,
The dying body and tn immortal mind
All claim not wealth, nor pow'r, nor life, nor fame )!
Earth, misery, halt-existence, and name!
But pray your God to keep watchfu eye,
Support, defend, preserve, and learn to die!
And pray in faith-that ev'ry child shall be
Worth more than worlds through such legacy!
A Mothers prayers-a thousand harps in heaven,
Attest the grace in answer to them gwen!
Ten thousand louder songs the Lord shall hear,
For grace in answer to Mothers prayer
Let grateful feeling in my bosom reign,
And Jesus love inspire my votive strain,
For one-enthron'd in light, while here she dwet,
Preferr'd in prayer the wishes that she felt:
And now my Mothcrs journey aye is done,
That journey l. with trembling, have begun.
Nor l alone-a sisters step attends,
And onward to the throne our pathway bends.
Another sister, yet in tenderyears,
Awaits the answer of her Mothers prayers;
Her Mothers looks, impressive, mark her face,
And hope anticipates her Mothers grace.
One parent, still, before us leads the way,
TO meet the sainted in eternal day.
Yet, which shall first enjoy that glad embrace,
No tongue can tell-the future wells its face
|, weak in frame, detected walk along,
Think over former times and pour paintivc song.
May God attend our journey to the dead
His love our joy, and sin our only dread
And TO His name, eternal praise be given,
By all who serve earth and glority in heaven:
ALONZO.
