AIASISTA.

The opinion of the juvenile world, and in
deed of the world generally, with regard to
stcp-mothers, is not flattering to that class Of
lnatrons. There is, however, strong infrl-
sion of prejudice and injustice in many opu-
lar opinions, and tlis is one Of them. The
prevailing impression in relation TO old
maids is another. Second wives and spin
stcrs who have reached their autumnal equi-
nox, are not necessarily, or indeed common
", the unamiablc creatures they arc repre-
scnted to be by vulgar proycrbialists. Who
is there among MS that has not found among
the single sisterhood Of "a certain age" models
Of womanly gcntlencss and worth, and known
second wives whose tenderness to their step
children could not have been surpassed by
the mother that bore them. The offspring
of first marriage are almost invariably dis
posed, either from selfish motives Of pecu-
mary nature, or the prejudiccs of education,
CT both, ,tolook upon astcr-notheras their foe.
They regard her as an interlopcr, a tasl5-mis-
tTcss, an ogress, whose great end and aim in
life IS to monopolize their fathers affection
ana lis worldly goods, and between whom
and themselves no feelings can exist save
distrust and hatred. This predisposition, or
rather predetermination, on the part Of the
children to consider their stcp-dame their
Zoe, is likely enough to make heI so. The
temper and disposition must be of exceeding
sweetness that can stand such an ordeal with
out sourinr; and there can be but little
doubt that the origin of many family feuds
growing egt Of second marriages might be
traced to The aggressive acts Of step-children.
But the law Of kindness is a love-compelling
ordinance, and its persevering observance
viii overcome the strongest antipathies. Let
the second wife who desires to secure the
affection Of her husbands motherless chill
dren, meet their hostility with the soft an
svefs that turn away wrath and the disinier-
esiednoss that disarrns prejudice, and she is
sure in tie end TO make a conquest Of their
hearts.

The Future.

God, the ever wise and glorious,
Hides the Future from our sight,
filings the veil of destiny o'er US,
Sombre as the shades Of night;
Bids us be content with knowing
But the Present and the Past,
And with one decisive mandate,
lIushes al that we would ask.
The mysterious far-off Future
Like the God that gave us birth
Dare we ask TO raise the curtain
Us poor mortals of the earthS
Question the all-seeing wisdom
OF the glorious One above,
When the every breath we're breathing
Is testimonial of his love.
'Tis pleasing yet most dreadful,
Subject for a mortal mind,
And we're cropping in the darkness,
To its mysteries ever blind.
Yet It's kind in the Creator
Thus TO shroud our coming years,
That We dread not future sorrows,
And expect not future tears.
Did we know the threatning sorrows,
Could we see the shadows nigh,
Every heart would beat with sadness,
Every smile change to sigh.
Did we know that friends we cherish
Would betray the trust rcposcd
And the faults of erring mortals-
Were they all at once disclosed.
Then indeed dreary prison
Would this beGuteous world appear,
Every sweet be turped TO bitter,
Every bright hope to fear.
And though fritndship may be necting,
Though it be mocking name,
Still while fancy makes it blisshl,
Makes it seeming, It's the same.
oh! 'tis good and kind the Wise One
Hid the Future from our sight
Yelled in darkness coming pleasures,
Hid lifc's ever whitening blight
Childhood lisps the word Tomorrow"
And the Future is the theme
Which from infancy to manhood
Cheers ms as a witching dream.
