The Influence OF Mothers.

Gen. Washington never attempted to con-
ceal that he owed his principles of virtue and
honor to the couDsels of his mother In his
manhood he treated her with as much respect
and affection as he did in his youth. When
she was informed that he was elected Presi.
dent of the United States, she said, in sub
stance, that she was not surprised, for
+" George was always good boy She be-
lieved that good boys make good men,.
When Joseph Ritner was Governor of
Pennsylvania, he was present at a Fourth of
July celebration in company with Jacob
Myers, to whom he was once bound boy
The latter gentlemen gave the following sem
timent: Joseph Ritner--he was always
good boy, he has still grown better; every
thing he did, he always did nell he made a
good farmer, and good legislator, and makes
a oery good Governor"
John Quincy Adams once said, at is due
to gratitude and nature that | should ac-
knowledge and own that, such as have been,
whatever it was such as am whatever it is,
and such as l hope to be in all futurity, must
be ascribed, under Providence, to the pre-
cepts and example of my mother"
Lord Bacon, Jonathan Edwards, Richard
Cecil, John Wesley, Sir Isaac Newton, Au-
gustine, Timothy Dwight and many other
distinguished men, who have lived, speak in
similar terms of the influence of their early
homes.
Even when sons have spent the years of
early manhood in prodigality, they have felt
constrained to ascribe their reformation, in
numerous instances, to parental fidelity
Thus, Augustine was the son of a devoted,
cody mother, who instructed him in those
truths and principles essential to purity
and success and yet he became vicious
wanderer. For years he plunged into sin,
without any regard to the wishes of a kind
parent or the commandments of God. But
finally he reformed and became good man,
as he confessed, through the remembered les
sons of the frcside. So it was with John
Newton. He was blessed with an excellent
mother She early instiled the most useful
and important truths into his mind; and still,
at fifteen years of age, Ike exceled allvicious
youths around him in wckedness He was
sailor, and no sailor was more abandoned
than he. AT length, however, he was con-
verted to God, as he said, through the lessons
of his childhood.

ETERNrry.-" Eternity has no grey hairs p
1.-The flowers fade, the heart withers, man dies :;
but time writes no wrinkles on the brow of
eternity.
Eternity! Stupendous thought! The ev.
'er-present, undecaying, and undying-the
endless chain, composing the life of God
the golden thread, entwining the destinies of
the universe.
Earth has its Beauties but time shrouds
them tor the grave; its honors, they are but
the sunshine of an hour; its palaces, thew are
but as the gilded sepulchres its possessions,
they are toys of changing fortune; its pleas
ures, they are but bursting bubbles Not so
in the untried bourne.
In the dwelling of the Almighty can come
no footsteps of decay. Its day will know no
darkenlng, eternal splendors forbid the ap-
proach of night. Its fountains will never
fall; they are fresh from the eternal throne
Its glory will never wane; for there is the
ever-present God. Its harmonies will never
cease; exhaustless love supplies the song.

We Live in Hope.

We live in hope that better times
Are quickly drawing near,
And think the next glad Christmas chimes
VIII bring happier year;
And though that one be fraught with care,
We build our trust upon;
Yet with the next smile we'li wear,
And still keep hoping on.
I've live in hope though clouds appear,
They linger but day;
The sun, to us a gift so dear,
viii scatter them away;
Thus life is but an April shower,
And troubles are but rain;
And hope, the sun, that in an hour
viii bring US joy again.

" Goodness, or benifcence, is love in ac-
ton, love with its hand to the pillow, love with
the burden on its back. 1t is love carrying
medicine to the sick, and food to the lamish.
ed. 1t is love reading the Bible to the blind,
and explaining the gospel to the felon in his
cell. 1t is love at the Sunday class, or in the
Ragged school. 1t is love at the hovel-door,
or sailing far away in missionary ship.

Lake Side.
BY WALTER WILDWOOD.

How sweet beside some cleaning Lake,
To sit reclining on the shore,
And watch the sounding ripples break,
And hear their lull tpeated DER.
Soft and gentle lull-
Sweet as Bulbul,
Who sings the hour
Within her pensive bower,
And echoes o'er and o'er,
Repeat along the shore,
Like some sweet strain we love to hear,
That swells and falls upon the ear.
IT'S like some sketch by fancy made
Within the blue enchanting sky,
Where cooling zephyrs through the shade
Are breathing their sweet lullaby.
Where gentle lull,
The sea-birds null
Comes oe'r the rocking wave
That balmy island lave:
And echoes evermore,
Awake the dreary shore:
Like some sweet strain we love to hear,
That holds enrapt the lisining ear.
How sweet beside the placid Lake,
Within some hill embosomed place,
To hear the mellow echoes wake,
As huntsmen wind the closing chase.
When the Pibrochs call,
At the night fall,
Resounds within the glen,
Goes and returns again.
Repea ting DER and o'er
The measure long the shore.
strain so shrill so soft and clear,
We can but linger if we hear.
Some nook where sleeps an Autumn scene,
Encrimsoned on the glowing shore,
Hath beauties like pictur'd dream,
That brightens as we gaze the more,
Where gentle lull,
The waves low null,
Comes DER the pensive mood
By lake and sober wood,
With murmurs stealing DER
The dreamy ocho shore;
Like some sweet strain we love to hear,
That dies upon the lst'ning ear.
We stand beside an island shore,
As blows the gently ruffling breeze
And list the ceaseess, voiceless roar,
The music of the sleepless seas:
Like some sounding she'll,
Or syren spell,
That sings its magic lore,
And lulls the dreamy shore;
Now clear, then low, and low,
With softer sweeter flow,
Till less and less distinct and clear,
Then breaks anew upon the ear.
