THE MOTHERS LAST LESSON.

"Will YOU please teach me my verse,
good night?" said little Roger l., as
he opened the door aud peeped cautious
ly into the chamber of his sick mother;
IL am very sleepy but no one has heard
me say my prayers
Mrs. l. was very ill-indeed her
attendants believed her to be dying. She
sat propped up with her pillows, and
struggling for breath: her pillows were
white; her eyes were growing dull and
glazed She was widow, and little
Roger was her only-dar.ing child. Ev-
cry night he had been in the habit of
coming into her room and sitting on her
lap, or kneeling by her side, whilst she
repeated passages from Gods holy word
or related to him stories of the wise and
good men spoken of in its pages.
Hush" said lady who was watch
ing her couch. Your dear mother is
said this she came forward, and laid her
hand gently upon his arm, as if she wo'd
lead him from the ROOM Roger began
to sob as if his heart would actually
break.
IL cannot 90 20 bed without saying my
prayers--indeed j cannot"
The ear Of the dying mother caught
the sound. Although she had been
nearly insensible to everything transpi-
ring around her, the sob of her darling
rOusad her stupor. and turning 10 friend
she desired her to bring her little son and
lay him on her bosom. Her request was
granted. and the child's rosy cheek and
golden head nestled beside the pale, cold
face of his dying mother.
Roger, my boy, my darling child"
said the dying woman. "repeat this verse
after me, and never, never forget it,
when my father and mother forsake me
the Lord will take ne up" The child

Mr.. EDIToR:-As fruit is scarce this

you the following directions for making

TO try it.
Take four good sized pumpkins, peal
and cut them up. and boil till tolerably
dry. Then strain through a coarse seive.
as for pies. Put quart of molasses into
your kettle or boiler, let it boil ten or
fifteen minutes then stir in the strained
pumpkin, and let it cook slowly. five or
SIX hours, stirring frequently. Just be-
fore taking it up, stir in table spoonful
Of ginger, cloves, cinnamon or aIlspice

twelve drops of lemon oil will improve
it for some, others may not like it. Tie

DIRr.-IThere is 10 harm in having
ones prejudices corrected now and them:
Old DR.. Cooper, of South Carolina, used
to say to his students; Don't be afraid
of little dirt, young gentleman. What
is dirt? Why nothing at all offensive.
when chemically viewed. Rub little
alkali upon that dirty grease spot on
your coat, and it undergoes a chemical
change. and becomes soap. Now rub il,
with little water and il disa ppears, it
is neither greace. soap, water nor dirt.
That is not very odorous pile of dirt
you observe there. Well, scatter little
gypsum over it; and it is no longer dirt.
Every thing you call dirt is worthy Of
your notice as students of chemistry.
Analyze it, 1t will all separate into
very clean elements. Dirt maks corn,
corn makes bread and meat, and that
makes very sweet young lady that | saw
one of you kissing last night. So, after
all, you were kissing particularly
if she whitens her skin with chalk or
fullers earth. There is no telling. young
