FOR WHAT Is A MOTHER RES
PONSIBLE?

A mother is usually also a wife, and
has the management of 4 family and a
direct influence over those subordinate
to her; she has the seat of authority
and wields the sceptre ofgovernment.
From position of entire independence
she has risen to power and rank, and
though her throne may be in cattage,
and her dominion the little world Of
household affairs, yet is she not the
less really responsible than is hatyouth-
full queen who now sways sceptre
over the four quarters Of the earth
But for what is she responsible? She
is responsible for the nursing and rear
ing Of her progeny; for their physical
constitution and growth; their exercise
and proper sustenance in early lie. A
child left to grow up deformed. bloat-
ed, or meagre, is an object of maternal
negligence. She is responsible for a

A TALE.-BY l.. RuEGG.

SNOW mind, shall expect a slice o.
cake and pair Of kid gloves from you
when you are married, Mr.. Denison, that
fcertainly shall; and should think you
would not forget me-"
These words were addressed by q
good looking maiden, (perhaps she
might have been rather on the shady
side of maIdenism) to fine looking
young fellow IN the well known library
ats. The female, Miss Norris,
was the respected proprietor thereof,
and the gentleman addressed was one
of her frequent visitants. A greater
intimacy might have existed between
the pair than between Miss Norris and
the generality of her customers; but the
lady was on such good terms with all
who knew her, that joking and being
joked with on the delicate subject Of
lmatrimony was no very unusual thing
with her. The reader, then. may Won
der why we introduce our little tale
with so commonplace an observation.
Let him wait awhile and we vii! show
him.
Miss Norris, as we have said, was
fast approaching the confines of that
period which is usually allotted to
young ladies' to geta husband in ;though
what the limit Of that period really and
tangibly is, we do not pretend to say.
We never yet knew Of the precise pc
riod being fixed at which juveniity en-
ded and old maidenism began. The
line of demarcation between these two
states was never yet definitely settled,
and we fear it never will be generally
agreed on; and yet all the world admit
that there is such line, and further,
that it is so exceedingly perspicuous
that it is Immediately discerned even if
alady has one leg acrossit. However,
It matters little TO US; we may refer the
reader 10 the ideal line, without seeking
TO trace its visionary continuation or fix
IFS existence.
We declare, we have got TO the end
Df one paragraph and the commence
ment Of another without utprogressng an
inch in our simple story. We have
diverged from the narrative itself to-
wards certain very indistnct vision.
AIRY something, and are obliged to re-
turn to the very tangent from whence
we started without accomplishing any
thing except diverting the readers at
tention, and almost losing the thread of
the story. Miss Norris, then s.
"Yes, yes, ! understand" says some
kind reader. Thank you, sir, you have
saved us deal of trouble and yourself
the perusal of q few lines of tautology.
We'll, having settled what Miss Nor
riss age was, permit us to tell you what
were her circumstances.

chid's habits; including eanIness, or
der, conversation, eating, sleeping man,
ners, and general propriety of beha-
vior. A child deficient or untaught in
these particulars, will prove a living
monument Of parental disregard; be-
cause, generally speaking, a mother
can, if she will, greatly control chill
dren in these matters. She is respon-
siblc for their department. She can
make them fearful and cringing; she
can make them modest or mperlinent,
ingenious or deceitful, mean or manly.
cIownish or polite. The germ of all
these things is in childhood, and mo-
Their can repress or bring them forth.
She is responsible for the principles
which her children entertain in early
life. For her 1t is to say whether those
who 60 forth, from her freside, shall
be lmbued with sentiments Of virtue,
truth, honesty, temperance. industry,
benevoIence, and morality, or those of
contrary character, vice, fraud, drunk
cness, dIeness, covctousness. These
last vii. be found to be Of the most na-
tural growth; but on her is developed
the daily, hourly task OF wedding her
little garden-of eradicating the odious
productions, and planting the human
with the lilly, the rose and the anna
ranth, that fadeless flower, emblem Of
truth. She is to very considerable
extent responsible for the temper and
disposition OF her children. ConStitu-
tionally they may be violent, irritable
or revengeIul; but for the regulation or
correction Of these passions,a mother
is responsible. She is responsible for
the intellectual requirements other chill
dren, that is, she is bound to DO wha.
she can for this object. Schools, acad-
emles and colleges open their portals
throughout our land; and every moth
er is under heavy responsibilities to see
that her sons and daug ghtcrs have all the
benefits which these a4orl and which |
circumstances will permit them 10 en-
joy. She is responsible for their rel-
gious education. The beginning of all
wisdom is the fear of God ;and this ev-
cry mother must teach, Reverence
for God, acquaintance with His word
respect for the duties and ordinances
Of religion are within the ability Of ev-
cry paIent to implant, and if children
grow up ignorant or regardless Of the
bible and the saviour tmother, when
she considers the wickedness Of the
human heart can expect them to
Use up and call her blessed?

A SECRET WORTH KNOWING.

Under this head the l.. Island Star
publishes IN interesting tale, the ex-
tended details for which we cannot find
room, but must content ourselves with
giving the leading facts in Il condensed
form, for the benefit Of our readers.
A young grocer Of good character
and correct habits, commenced business
in u good and improved ReighborhooA.
His stock was small as were hismeans.
and his stock of customers were still
smaller. His sales hardly met his ex~
'penses, and he was evidently going
''down hiI|," and an ol grocer on the
opposite cornerpredictcd that be would
soon be at the bottom. That the vollng
grocer had reason to regret this opinion
Of the old grocer will appear: The lat
ter had daughter who had won the
heart Of the former. He had offered
himself to her but was elected. 1t was
done, however, with the assurance that
he was the man Of her choice, but that
she acted in obedience to her fathers
commands.
Assured of the affections of the wo-
man of bis choice, he set himself about
removing the only obstacle in the way
of their unlon--the fathers objection to
his pecuniary prospects.
A year had elapsed and 10, what a
change! The young grocer was now
goinguP hill with the power of a steam
locomotive; customers hocked to his
store from all quarters, and even many
had left the old established stand on the
corner,for the younger favor
ite. There was mystery about it
which puzzled the old grocer, sorely.
which he could not unravel. He at
length became nearly sick with losses
and aggravations, and attempts 10 dis
cover the secret Of his neighbor's sue
cess.
At this juncture, Angelica--fot that
was the daughters name--contrived
to bring about an apparently accident
Al interview between the parties. Af-
Ter the old man had become, through
The intervention of the daughter, toler-
lbly good humored, and he inquired |
with great earnestness of the young
nan, how he had contrived to effect SO |
much in one year, to thus extend his
business and draw off the customers
rom the older stands.
The young man evaded IN answer

THEY were written on viewing the "Vision o
Heayen," painting by R. Street
THE VISION OF HEAVEN.
PAINTING BY STREET
Beautiful vision There she kneels-
The scene the hour to worship given
While sweety o'er her spirit steals
The light. the song the bliss of Heaven.
No cloud of earth is on her brow,
No earthly hopes are fitting by
The dream that wraps her spirit now
Is borrowed from yon radiant sky.
IT'S not that her young heart is free
AS mountain air or music wild,
IT'S not the glow of ecstacy
Joy filings DER fortunes favored child
'Tis not that nature there breathes out,
Her worship is the waterfall
And all is beautiful about
And she, most beautiful of all.
Oh no there's something In the thrill
Ofthis worlds spirit stirring mirth--
That, tho all sweet and joyous--stil
Is mingled with the shades of earth
AS in the ranbow's radiant form
That spans the sky's cerculean sheet,
Abides the memory of the storm
That broke and vanished at its feet.
Oh, no the leaping spirit there
Forgo. its prison-house ofclay--
Far, far beyond this world ofcare
Wings now, its blissful flight away
That sunny smile serenely bright
Is but the mantle that it filings
Back from its heavenward path of light,
Whittier each hope exulting springs
Sweet vision of embodied thought,
To earth's low scenes in beauty given;
How is thine angel image fraught
With all we know or dream of Heaven!
Still to our sphere the lustre give
OF that sweet smile and heaven lit eye,
And thou shalt teach us how 10 live,
And learn US how to die.
