Mothers.

If anything in life deserves to be
considered as at once the exquisit bliss
and pre-eminent duty of a mother,
it is this-to watch the dawning dispo-
sition and capacity of favorite child !;
to discover the earliest buds of thought;
to feed with useful truths the inquisi-
tiveness Of a young and curious mind !;
to direct the eyes, unsullied with the
waters of contrition, to a bounteous
Benefactor; to lift the little hands, yet
unstained with vice. in prayer to their
Father which art in Heaven. But so
it is the child, as soon as it is released
from the bondage of the nurse, and
needs no longer careful eye to look
after its steps, and guard it from exter-
nal injury, is too often surrendered to
instructors, some of whom are employed
20 polish the surface of the character,
and regulate the motions of the
limbs; others to furnish the memory,
and accomplish the imagination; while
religion gets admission as she can
sometimes by aid of authority, and
sometimes in a Saturdays task, or a
Sundays popularity, but how rarely as
a sentiment Their little hearts are
made to futter with vanity, encouraged
to pant with emulation, persuaded
to contract parsimony allowed to glow
with revenge, or reduced to absolute
numbness, by worldliness and cares, be
fore they have ever felt sentiment o
devotion, or beat with pulsation of sor
row for an offence, or gratitude for {
benefit in the presence of God. Be
lieve me, mothers, you have no righ
to expect that the sense of religion vii
be infused by the labors of others
When parentsh have ceased to be teach
ers, religion has ceased to be taught

The road over Mont Gents is maead-g
amized throughout its whole extent.
and is wide and in perfect order, con-
sisting of easy grades. On the top of
the mountain there was much snow,
but most of it was removed from the
road-a work of great labor, as the
cuts in some places were ten feet deep,
and the snow so compact that its sides
were perpendicular. The diligence
was several hours in passing through
this region of snow, and it was showing
at the time, and extremely cold. On
Monday and Tuesday of this week it
rained hard on the west side of the
mountain, and it was feared that the
passage of troops was impeded by fresh
SHOWS. The journey over the pass was
no pleasant affair, even to one who
occupied the protected seats of COM
Portable diligence-such was my fortii-
nate position-what must it be to
soldiers on foot, wet with severe rains,
and encumbered with knapsack and
arms. -
The pass is 6,s25 feet high-nearly
800 feet higher than the famous SimpleI1
pass. That of the great st. Bernard,
over which Napolen conducted his army
before any road had been formed is
5000 feet. The easy grades of the
Mont Gents road, and the protection
furnished by granite posts onits exterior,
within seven or eight feet of each
other-firmly planted in the earth, and
about four feet high-indicate that
principle object in thus forming it was
the easy and safe hauling of cannon
and baggage over the line.
/ walked for miles over the road, in
the ascent from the Sandman side, and
carefully observed its construction. The
engineering difficulties were immense,
but they have been overcome with such
skill that the ascent is uniform and
easy in every part. Occasionally a
level place is left to afford relief to
horses from the wearisomeness Of d
steady pull. 1 noticed that the marks
of the drill used in blasting were nearly
obliterated, the effect of long continued
exposure to severe storms, and the
character of the rocks, which is a soft
limestone. 1t may be, if the history of
the road shall ever be lost. that future
; antiquarians may contend from the
obliteration of all signs of blasting;
J that at least no great difficulties were
encountered in its construction, even if
J they do not insist that it was formed on
natural bed. One is struck Wit.
wonder that such great work over
high mountains, should have been
r formed and finished on line exceeding
fifty miles, so completely that it exceeds
in excellence any road l know of in
f the United States, whether public or
; private, and long or short. 1t is kept
: in high order, and is descended on a
S brisk trot, with entire safety.
e 1t seemed most appropriate, as this
great road was the work of the elder

The Years-they do not go
from us, but we from them, stepping
from the old into the new, and always
leaving us some baggage, no longer
serviceable on the march.
Look back along the way we have
trodden, there they stand, every one in
his place, holding fast all that was left
in trust with them. Some keep our
childhood, some our youth, and all have
something of ours which they will give
up for neither bribe nor prayer; the
opinions cast away, the hopes that
went with us no farther, the cares thai
have had successors, and the follies out
grown to be reviewed by memory and
called up for evidence some day.

YEA witness. a io,Iy. plur


WA witness, jolly, plump old
lady, in the Supreme Court at Wor-
cester on Thursday, was asked what
time a certain train Of cars passed her
house. She replied that she commen-
ced knitting at 8 o'clock and had knit
twice around the leg of stocking,
before they came along. The next
question, of course, was how long it
would take to knit twice around. The
Judge here, in his usual quiet humor,
suggested that that would depend upon
the size of the stocking. To this the
witnesses remarked that the stocking
was for herself, and that they could ex-
ercise their own judgment as to the
size, and guess how long it would take.

6. Blue Sky Somewhere

Children are eloquent teachers.
Many lesson which has done our
hearts good, we have learned from their
lisping lips. 1t was but the other day
another took root in memory. We were
going to picnic, and, of course, the
little ones had been in ecstacies tor sev~
eral days. But the appointed morning
broke with no glad sunshine, no song
of birds, no peals of mirth. There was
every prospect of rain-eyen hope hid
her face and wept.
"Shan't we go mother?" exlaimed
a child of five, with passionate empha-
sis.
=" If it clears off,
"But when will it clear off,
"Oh, look out for blue sky"
And so he did, poor little fellow, but
never bit of blue sky gladdened his
eyes.
"Well, don't care, MOTHER" said
he, when the tedious day had at length
numbered all its hours, " if / haven
seen it, know there is blue sky some
where"
i The next morning there was blu'
sky, whole heaven full of it, clear
glorious, blue sky, such as only greet
us after weary storm.
: ."There, mother, didn't tell youso ?
cried a joyous voice, there is blu
sky w Then the little head dropped
for moment in silent thought.
Mother" exclaimed the child, whe1
he again looked up, there must hav
. been blue sky all day yesterday, thoug
:. | never saw bit of it, cos you see
there amt no place where it could hav
gone to-God only covered it up wit
