AND TBEN.-A story is told of very
good and nious man whom the Church OF
Rome had enroll d among her saints on
account of his great holiness
lie was living at one of the Italian Uni
versities. when a young man whom he had
known as boy, ran up with face full OF
delight. and told him what he had long been
wishing above all things in the world was at
length fulfilled, his parents having just given
him leave to study the Law, thereupon he had
come to the law school at his University on
account of its great fame, and meant TO spare
70 pains or labor In getting through his studies
as quickly as possible.
In this way be ran on a long time and
when at last he came to a stop. the holy man,
who had been listening to him with great pa
tience and kindness. said
well and when you have got through
your course of studies. what do you mean to
do then? Z"
..Then shall take my Doctors degree, ="
answered the young man.
"And then " inquired Philippe Nerl-
And theu,'' coDtinued the youth, Il shall
have number of difficult and knotty cases TO
manage, shall catch peoples applause by my
my eloquence, my zeal, my acuteness' and
gain reputation .
''And then z again askep the holY man
And then-why then there cannot te a
question but what shall be promoted to some
high office or other; besides, [ shall make
money and grow rich. :"
And then p repeated Philippe
"And then" said the student, 81 and then
l shall die"
'AND THIN ?" asked Philippe.
Whereupon the young man made no answer,
but cast down his head and went away. This
last 'And Then p had pierced ike a flash
of lightning into his soul, and he could not
get rid of it.
Soon after he forsook the study of the Law,
gave himself up to the ministry of Christ, and
spent the remainder of his days in gooily
words and works.
The question which Philippe Neri put to
the young lawyer is one which we should put
frequently to ourselves. When we have done
all that we are doing, all that We dream OF
doing, even supposing that all our dreams
were accomplished, that every wish Of our
heart is fulfilled, still may We ask q" What will
we do ?-What will we be thenT' Whenever
we cast our thoughts forward. never let them
stop on this side of the grave-let them be
carried to the grave itself; but when we have
followed ourselves thither, and have seen our.
selves laid therein, still ask ourselves the
searching qucstion-AND THEN?

A Christian Mother.

The Rev. DR. Hawks, recently delivered
lecture before Historical Society, when he
related the following story, illustrative OF fe-
male heroism-
Among those, be observed, who formed
part OF the settlement during the revolution
ary struggle, was poor widow, Who' having
buried her husband, was LETT In poverty Win
the task upon her hands OF raising three sons.
OF these, the two eldest, ere long, Tell III the
cause of their country, and she struggled on
with the youngest as best she could:
After the fall of Charleston, and the Gisas-
irons defeat of Col Buford, of Virginia, by
Tarlton, permission was given to some four
or FIVE American females to carry necessaries
and provisions, and administer some relief to
the prisoners oil board the prison ship and in
the iails at Charleston This widow was
one of the volunteers upon this erraud Of
mercy.
She was admitted within the city, and.
Drawing the horrors of pestilence, employed
herself to the extent of her humble means lu
aleviating the sufferings of her countrymen.
She knew what she had to encounter; but,
notwithstanding, went bravely on.
Her mission of humanity having been full
filed, she left Charleston on her return-but
alas her exposure TO the pestileutial atmOs-
phere she had been obliged to breathe, had
planted in her system the seeds of fatal dis
ease and ere she reached her home, she
sank under an attack of prison fever, a
brave martyr to the cause of humanity and
patriotism.
The dying mother, who now rests in an
unknown grave, thus left her only son the
sole survivor of his family, to the worlds
charity but little did she dream, as death
closed her eyes, the future of that orphan
boy The son became President of this free
Republic-for that widow was the mother Of
Andrew jackson.
