former OF their minds, at that early age
when every word dis,ils upon the heart,
like The dewdrop upon the tender grass.
There is to that young mind no truth or
falsehopd in the world but that whose
words flow from the mothers lips. There
is no beauty 10 character, nor glory in
action, which has not been consecrated by
her praise. There is TO that climbing child
no path where the Mothers feet have not
trod. Her mind is 10 his The supernatural
pillar of fire which ilumnes his mdnight
ignorance, and The slverv cloud which at
midday precedes him in every highway
10 the world And even when science
has conducted her pupil through the high
es, walks of knowledge, or when art has
polished him into an accomplished citizen.
or when power has digniied him with
The memorials of Office, she still lives in
this soul, which she had imbued from her
hearts
