Robert Burns was once taken
to task by a young Edinburg
blood with whom he was walk
ing, for recognizing an honest
farmer in the open street. "It
was not" said the poet, "the
great coat, the scone bonnet,
and the bonnet-hose that [
spoke to, but the man that was
in them; and the man, sir, for
true worth, would weigh down
you and me, and ten more such,
any day."

IL The 47th anniversary of Cd
Fellowship was recently celebrated il
Mobile, after which was sung the fol
lowing beautiful ode:
Soon we'll part--let kind affection
Be in all our acts displayed;
Show by word, and deed, and action,
Truth and love, and friendly aid.
Soon will our great master call us
From this present bond of love-
And if worthy will install us
In the great Grand Lodge above
Let us, then, in bonds fraternal;
Ever, ever, onward move;
Let our ties be the eternal
Chain of Brotherhood and Love.
Heart and voice with rapture swelling
Still the song Of friendship raise,
On the theme immortal dwelling,
Join the universal praise.

from US every boasted friend,
and consign our names to the
fate of the outcast and forgot
ten. Did say every friend
All! no; there is one who, amid |
our wreck, still clings to our
cause and pleads our innocence.
I care not to what depths OF
infamy we may have sunken.
I care not how thick our crimes
may have grown upon us amid
the squalor and the gloom OF
our degradation, q mother can
discern one spark one ray at
least glimmers through it all.
The world may deride us; those
infinitely more guilty than our
selves, may spurn us from their
presence, but that mother who
Graded our infancy, who sang
to us at nightfall her lullaby
songs, who endured all our
shortcomings and soothed our
sorrows, cannot believe that her
lessons have all been forgotten
that her prayers have all
been in vain. And she is right.
The blessings and prayers of a
pious mother will follow us
through all of life's dark mean
behring's; and often, when
tempted, that still'small voice
is heard whispering in the ear,
and the thought that mother
prays for us will lead us from
errors path to that Fountain
whose water is the healing OF
the nations. Who, with a heart
! can forget the smile, the bene.
, diction of a doating mother
o my dear mother, [ feel that
cover my heart in days that are flown,
No love, like mother love, ever has shonei
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unselfsh, and patient like yours !;
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sorrowing soul and the world
weary brain,

"Nay," said the soul, "but

be neither mine nor thine," said
the Body sorrowfully.
"Our reckoning is not over, ="
said the soul. "How are we to
meet again. for we must meet
again; will it be in sorrow, or
in joy? You have never al

but have robbed me of my free

A Mothers Love.

Life is made up of sunshine
and shadow, of joys and sor-
rows, of smiles and tears. It is
truly a checkered scene, upon
whose face nothing exerts a
more potent influence than a
mothers love. This wins upon
Jus, when in childish innocence,
1--WE look up from her lap and
reflect the smile she so loving
ly bestows. For us she tolls,
for us she struggles. She re-
joices in our health, and cher
ishes the bloom that beauties
our countenance. In sickness
she watches our couch, smooths
our pillow, bathes our fevered
brow, plants affections kiss
upon our check, and bedews it
with her tears. All! who has
not, at nights noon, passed the
humble cabin Or the costly
mansion, and seen through its
windows, a dim, Pickering light,
when all around was death-like
stillness7 Step softly to that
dwelling, and there is seen a
mother devoting her lonely,
weary vigils to the stricken son
of her bosom. She courts not
sleep, she disdains her food,
but ever anon is on her knees,
imploring Heaven to restore to
her bleeding heart that little
bud of affection, whose life
seems fast waning away. Oh!
There is none,
In all this cold and hollow world, no fount
Of deep, strong, deathless love, save that
within
A mothers heart
Friends may smile, but in
terest viii convert their smile
into seorn. Prosperity may
shower upon us its thousand
blessings, and watt our praise
upon every breeze, and yet one
