THE INFlDEL MOTHER.
by FANNY FERN.

Can it be! can you look into the depths Of
those clear blue eyes, that seek yours in such
contiding innocent trust' can you deck those
dimpled limbs, 50 "feartuly and wonderful
" made!" can you watch with him the first
grey streak of light, that ushers in another
happy lay! can you point out to him the gold
and t{ple sunset glory! can you look up
ward with him to the shining host! or place
in his eager hand the field flowers that bend
their dewy eyes with grateful thanks, and
never name "Our Father"
When ut dead of night you watch be side
his sick couch; when you husl, your every
breath to listen to his panied moan: when
every gust of wind makes your check grow
pale; when you turn with trembling hand the
healing drops; when every tick Of the clock
seems beating against your heart; when the
little pallid face looks bcsecchingly into
yours, for the 'help' you cannot give, OH
whcrccan yon turn the suppliant eye, II you
see not the Great Physician!"
When health slowly returns, when the eye
brightcns, and the red colors cheek and lip
when the vacant chair is again filed whcr
\the little feet are again busy; when loving
ms in playful glee Irvine around your neck
pes there from that woman's heart OF thine
nxst Of grateful thanks to Him who notes
a 81 sparrow's fall!

AFrEcrIoys.-The heart has memo
cannot die. The rough rubs of the
cannot obliteratc them. They are
les of home early home. There is
n the very sound. There is the old
Inder which the light-hearted boy swung
many summer day; yondcr the river in
Which he learned to swim; there the house in
which he knew Il parents love, and found a
parents probationary, there is the room in
which he romped with brother or with sister,
long since, alas! laid in the yard in which he
must soon be gathered, ovcrshadowcd by yon
old church, whittier, with a joyous troop like
himself, he has often followed his parents to
worship with, and hear the good old man who
gave him to God in baptism. Why, even the
very school.house, associated in youthful days
with thoughts of feruc and tasks, now comes
back to bring pleasant remcmbrances OF many
nm attachment there formed, many an occa-
sion that called forth some generous cxhibi-
ton of the noblcst traits of human nature.
There he learned to tell some Of his best
emotions. There, pcrchance, he first met the
being, who, by her love and tenderness in
aftcr life, has made a home for himself, hap
pier even than that which his childhood knew.
There are certain feelings Of humanity, and
those too among the best, that can find IN
appropriate place for their exercise only by
ones own Preside. There is sacrcdness in
the privacy of that spot which it were
species of dissertation to violate! He who
seeks wantonly to invade it, is neither more
nor less than n villain; and hence there exists
no ,urer test of the dcbasement Of morals in
a community, than the disposition to tolerate
in any mode, the man who disrcgards the
sanctities of private life. In the turmoil of
the world, let there be at least one spot where
the poor man may find affection that is disin.
terestcd - where he may indulge corfdcnce
that is not likely to be abused.

The rather remarkable but gratifying fact
is announced by the Columbia correspondent

M for six years, was during the late conflict OF
opinion, opposed to the separate secession Of

FlDELITy.-Nevcr forsake u friend when
enemies gather thick around him-when
sickness falls heavy upon-when the world
is dark and cheerless; this is the time to try
thy friendship. They who turn from the
scene of distress or offer reasons why they
should be excused from extending their sym
pathy and aid, betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that selfish motives only prompt anG
move them. If you have friend who loves
you-who has studied your interests nnt
happiness-defcnded you when prosecuted
and troubled, be sure to sustain him in nd
versity. Let him feel that his kindness is ap
preciatcd, and that his friendship was no
bestowed upon you in vain.
