THERE is no pang that fills the eye with such

Who gave years Of her youth--sacri6ced
ease, comfort and frequently her health, that
he might enjoy those very blessings of which
she was depriying herself!

crossed in other matters, and proved Indifferent
to the well-being of his family; but, amid all
her tolls, privations and difficulties, maternal
love predominates over every other feeling of
the heart.
BY her care and assiduity, her boy, she has
so loved, becomes a man; and now, fondness
for'the child, gives place to a still more deep
and earnest solicitude for his welfare. She
hopes and Prays that he may fulfill the designs
OF his Creator concerning him-that he may
cultivate and mature all those principles which
make man honorable and mob e.
Young man, be kind and speak gently to your

stand or appreciate her feeling know not the
depth of her affection yet she is sensitive, and,
if you are unknd, will feel
How sharper than serpent's tooth,

Bring no accusations against her. Answer not
her love and anxiety with thoughtess rdicuIe
although TO you they may seem unnecessary
or even foolish. Though you may imagine, or
your Mother may be very faulty, lite's troubles
aud vexatlons may make her fretfu, yet her
children are bound to her with her frailties, for
she has borne with them. The wrinkles upon
Der brow and furrow upon her cheek they have
helped to make. 1t is their duty TO comfort
their declining days. Life has few pleasures
for the aged: bring not her gray hairs in sor-
row to the grave.
You may form ties which may be near and dear
to the heart, but rarely will you find senti-
ment so unsclfsh, so pure, as a Mothers love.
