The Mother

Despise not thy mother when she is
old. Age may waste and wear a mothers
beauty, strength, limbs, senses and estate;
but her relation as mother is as the sun
when he goes forth in his might, for it is
always in the meridian, and knoweth no
evening. The person may be grey-head.
ed, but her motherly relation is ever in
its flourish. 1t may be autumn, yea win
ter, with woman, but with the mother,
it is always spring.
Alas, how little do we appreciate moth
er's tenderness while living! How heed
less are we in youth Of all her anxieties
and kindness +! But when she is dead
and gone--when the cares and coldness
Of the world come withering to our
hearts-when we experience how hard ii
is to fnd true sympathy--how few love
us for ourselves--how few will befriend
us in misfortune (! then is it that we
think Of the mother that we have lost.

9n Glegant Storg,
The Young Methodist Preacher.
by REV. A. NJ. SCOTT.

TWAS in the month of February, 1882,
and the weather was extremely cold. Snow
had fallen all the night previous, and, oc-
casionally during the day, it came down
aHresh, while the winds blew from the an
CRY north, bearing fleecy flights upon their
viewless cars. The cold was bitter and
piercing.
Alfred Walton was q mere youth, having
not reached his nineteenth natal day, by
several months. During the preceding au-
tumn he had been licensed to preach, and
had been recommended to the Annual Con-
ference. as suitable person to travel and
preach the Gospel. At that conference,
there was call for several ministers to 60
West, and bear the glad tidings of peace
to those bold adventurers who had left the
old states, and emigrated west of the great
Father of Waters. Alfred and seven 9TH
ers volunteered, and were by the Bishop
transferred. He received his appointment
to a circuit five hundred miles west of the
Mississippi, and hastened at once to his
field oflabor.
The eight young men oil set out togeth-
er from their native State, and travelled
in company, till they reached the 7 errito-
ry, now State of --. They then sep
aratcd, and each sought his own circuit
Alfred's was further west than any of the
rest, and it required the travel of many
weary mile, to enable him to find his desti-
nation. Late in January he reached his
circuit, and managed to send his appoint
ments around a few days in advance; and
then he commenced the great work Of
preaching to the emigrants, in their new
and rustic homes.
Houses were like angels visits, " few
and far between )" for the population was
only in settlements, and very sparse at that.
1t required four weeks to 60 round his field
oflabOr, and this involved many long rides.
There were creeks 10 swim, mountains to
cross, and dim traces to follow. He expe-
rienced no little difficulty, when passing
round the first time, in finding the way.
The day referred to at the beginning of
this article was one occupied in that first
"round." At twelve o'clock he preached
ITO about dozen attentive hearers, who had
gathered for that purpose, at the house Of
one ofthe neighbors. Here he learned that
his appointment for the next day was more
than thirty miles distant, and that the road
would lead him over a mountain. That
he might be able to reach it in due time,
ut was necessary that he should travel some
part Of the way the same evening. There
was house on his route, seventeen miles
distant at which he could be entertained,
and from it be could on the following NOR
ming, travel the remaining portion of the
way. Ht,
About two o'clock that cold afternoon,
our hero wrapped up as best he could be-,
,was on the road, pressing on through the
fallen aud falling snow. His road was dim
atbest, and the snow that had fallen, had
well nigh obliterated all traces Of 1t what

them. This deprived her Of Jenny's
assistance; and to entertain her own COM
pany in the parlor and keep all the cook
ing utensils in full blast in the kitchen,
required no ordinary effort. Mr.. It'd
marsh found that in the saving of rent he
was gamer, while the extra company
consumed as much as did the domestics
formerly.
Finally, to remedy matters, it was re.
solved 10 give up the vain struggle TO
maintain appearances, and be content to
settle down in quiet way and forego all
show. II was great surrender in Mrs.
Tidmarsh to do this. She wept over The
necessity; but after she had made it, she
found she retained all those whose friend
ship was worth cultivating, and with the
aid ofa small chore girl, her house, though
small, exhibited such an air of comfort
that really many Of her friends came
nigh envying one who had relinqnished
so many disquieting annoyances to which
they were subjected.
