A MorHERs LoyE.-A mother's love is divinely beautiful when it nnfolds the helpless and dependant infant with a mystic power. like the. silent omnipres ent influence of an ever watchful Provi< dence. Beautiful is that love in after years. so it guides the careless and uncertain steps of joyous childhood. strewing around it's pathway bright flow CTS of hope, that breathe softly their les sons of gratitude and praise, while tie young way farer gathers them in his ems brace. Beautiful in it's exaltation is the higher development of the mental sen> which commands the reverence of impetuous youth, and subdues the mighty power of passion by the holiness of its strong endurance. leading him up- waIds through difficulties and tempta> tions to the summit of that mount of con. temptation whence he may survey. the world with . clear vision, and willingly brave the stern realities of a severe dis. cipline rather than yield himself cap. tive to the attraction of selfishness and ambition. But when. in the full streng.l of mature manhood. the great heart bow, itself before her who nurtured it's bes' affections, and the soul erect in the con- scious dignity of it's wondrous being acknowledges the mothers power. ther only is her unfathomable love understood and the sublime mission of maternity complete in it's ful6lment.
