A TENDER LAY.

Be gentle to the new laid egg,
For eggs are brittle things:
They cannot fly until they're hatcbed.
And have a pair OF wings;
II once you bre * the tender she'll,
The wrong yoa can't redress,
The "yolk and white" they will run out,
And make dreadful mess
'Tis but little while. At best,
That hens have power to lay;
Tomorrow eggs may added be,
That were quite fresh TO day.
Oh! let the touch be very light.
That takes tnem from the keg;
There is no hand whose cunning ssili
Can mend a broken egg.
Ay - touch it with tender touch
For till the egg is boiled,
Who knows but unwittingly,
1t may be smashed and spoiled.
The summer breeze that 'gainst it bloWe,
Ought to be still and hushed;
For eggs, like youthful purity,
Are ''ortul' when they're squashed

4 Mothers Grave.

Earth has some sacred spos where We feel
ike loosening the shoes from our feet, and
treadng with holy reverence; where common
words Of pleasure are uniting places where
irisndships hands have fingered IN each
other, where VOWS have been plighted, prayers
offered, and tears Of parting shed. How the
thoughts hover around such places, aud trav-
el back through immeasurable space to visit
them.
But Of all the spots on the green earth,
none is so sacred as that where rests, waiting
the resurrection, those we once loved and cher
ished. Hence, in all ages, the better portion
Of mankind have chosen the spots where they
have loved TO wander ct eventids and weep
alone
But among eharnel houses Of the dead, II
there is one spot more sacred than the rest, il
is q mothers grave There sleeps the mother
of our niancy--she whose heart was stran'
ger to every other feeling bat love, and who
could always ind excuses for as when we
could find none ourselves, There she sleeps
and we love the very earth for her sake
