A MOTHERS LOVE.
By MISS II. J. PEARCE.

A mothers love stands pre-eminent
among all the races of mankind. and has
been proverbial in all ages of the world
1t is seen in the splendid mansion, and in
the cottage; in the hut. and in the wigwam
of the Indian. 1t has survived the dark
tide of sin and iniquity that has Overspread
our world. The winds of adversely fan it
and cause it to burn brighter and brighter
in the mothers bosom. 1t was implanted
for wise and holy purposes. Without it.
our world would be as a savage wilderness;
sin and iniquity would stalk through our
homes if homes we had; the mother would,
like the ostrich. leave her own child to per-
ish. But more especially in lands where
science aud religion exert their influence.
it is seen and felt.
The object of her affections often proves
ungrateful, after she has spent years of
anxiety and maternal solicitude in watch
ing and doing all that is in her power to
guide his footsteps Alright Though he may
cross the trackless deep. and visit distant
lands-frequent those haunts of vice which
she has taught him to shun-and though
that mother suffer for the necessities of life
which the strong arm of her son should
have provided for her-yet she will receive
him to her arms, win him back to the ways
Of righteousness, love him with that love
which she alone has for him. Who shall
say that the kind counsels of a mother do
not restrain the wayward son from becom-
ing more wicked. and plunging deeper into
wickednesS and crime? We can hardly
conceive of a heart so darkly stained as to
disregard fathers kind and encouraging
words; but the one that would disregard a
mothers earnest appeal, should be Stunned
as we would poisonous reptile.
What is frmer than a mothers love-
Time and misfortune, penury and perseeu-
ton, hatred and infamy, may roll their
dark waves suocessively over it, and still
it smiles unchanged. A mother loves, and
loves forever. From infancy to age, the
dews of maternal affection are shed upon
the soul, and through every trial, that love
will follow, cheer US in misfortune, and
support us in disease; smooth the pillow of
pain, and mOisten the Led of death. Hap
py is he who knows a mothers love- 1t
is the mother that approves of her ehild's
conduct whenever she can.
Ny mother! should she pass the shores
Of time before me. she will welcome me to
that beautiful eternity where we shall part
no more.
'Be kind to thy mother, for lOi on her brow
May traces of sOrTUw be seem
o. well may st thou cherish and comfort her now
For loving aud kind she hath been.
Remember thy mother. fer thee will she pray,
As long as God giveth her breath!
With accents Of kindness then cheer her lone
way,
Fen to the dark valley of DEATH

WELL PAID PoETs. The English papers
report that Alfred Tennyson has been paid
ten pounds a line for poem, which is an
nOunced for the January number of Mac
nilian's Magazine. 1t is entitled Sea
Dreams: an Idyll."
The largest sum received fer poem by
an American writer, of which We have any
record, was paid to Robert Treat Paine, for
his famous song Adams and Liberty
That spirited composition brought its au-
thor eleven dollars line, which was about
a dollar and halfa word.-Bos.og Tran

A SONG OF DOUBT.

The day is quenched. and the sun is fed
God has forgotten the world
The moon is gone. and the stars are dead!
God has forgotten the world
Evil has won in the horrid feud
C:ages with The Throne;
Evil stands on the neck of Good,
And rules the world alone
There is no good; there is no God;
And Faith is heartless cheat
Who bears the back for the DEVILS rod,
And scatters thorns for the feet
What are prayers in the lips of death,
Filling and chilling with hail!
What are prayers but wasted breath
Beaten back iy the gale?
The day is quenched, aud the sun is fed;
Cod has forgotten the worldl
The moon is gone and the stars are dead;
God has forgotten the world!

A SONG OF FAITH.

Day will return with a fresher boon;
God will remember the world
Night will come with newer moon;
God will remember the worli!
Evil is only the slave of Good;
Sorrow the servant of JOY;
And the soul is mad that refuseth food
OF the meanest in Gods employ.
The fountain of joy is fed by tears,
And love is lit 10y the breath of sighs;
The deepest griefs and the widest fears
Have holiest ministries.
Strong grows the oak in the sweeping stern
Safely the flower SLEEPS under the snow
And the farmers Leerth is never warm
Till the cold wind starts to blow.
Day will return with fresher boon;
Col will remember the worlGi
Night will CONS with a newer moon;
God will remember the world

SPRISc-TIME.
BY MIRcIA BoYNToS LANE.

l long for the loving sPring-time
Wi h its gentle oalmy breath,
For the hopes it will fan to brightness
And its victory over death.
O! ne, not death, but seeming,
For the branches bare AMI light,
All withered now, and leahess,
Still have the germs of life.
I'm tired of life, and weary,
And my heart is aching sore,
For the ILLS that flesh is heir to-
And the joys that come no more.
Yet / know there is another,
A purer life than this,
Spring will succeed the winter,
And brings but loveliness.
And oft my fancy wanders
To that other, better life,
Where the loved and loving mingle
With happy moments rife.
Then hasten blessed spring-time.
While the song of love I'll sing,
I'll ! aticnt wait thy coming,
For gems thou'lt surely Lring.

THE FAR INTERIOR OF SOUTH

HIGHLY INTERESTING LETTER FROM DR..
LIVINGSTONE.

At recent meeting of the American Geo.
graphical and Statistical Society in New
York the very interesting letter from Rev.
DR.. Livingstone the African explorer,
which We give below, was read The
Zambasi, or Zambeze as it is usually SPELL
ed, it is a large river that empties into the
Mozambique channel, between the seven
teenth and twentieth degrees of South lati-
tude. The Protuguese have held posses
sion of the regions about its mouth fer
more than three centuries, but of late years
have hardly been able to protect their few
garrisons against the attacks of the natives
much less to make explorations. Mo
zambique, Quilimane, and Inhambane are
their principal seaboard settlements, but
the European inhabitants are either con-
victs, or soldiers, whose energies shattered
by fever. are scarcely equal to the task of
guarding the mouldering old forts that
did such good service in the wars of the
colOny's fiOurishing days. Quilimane. which
IS built on marsh at the principal mouth
of the Zambasi, is miserable place, the
Sena and Tete, the interior garrisons ON
the same river, are little better than trading
posts. They are, however, more healthy
than the towns on the coast. 1t is from
the last Of these that Dr. Livingstone
writes

the power demanded TO work it, so slight,
that a boy of sixteen, with one hand, may

this subject hereafter, when the inventors
