MotherlY Love.

Last among the characteristics
of women, is that Of the sweet,
motherly love with which nature
has gifted them it is almost indie
pendent OF cold reason, and wholly
removed from all selfish hope OF
reward. Not because it is lovely,
does this mother love her child, but
because it is n living part Of her
.self-the child of her heart, a frac
ton of her own nature. There.
fore does her bosom yearn oyer
his wailings, her heart beats quick.
at his Joy, her blood flows more
softly through her veins when the
breast at which he drinks knits
him to her. In every uncorrupted
nation of the earth this feeling is
the same. Climate, which changes
everything else, changes not that.
Ii is only the most corrupting forms
of society which have power grad
ually to make luxurious vice sweet-
OF bHdu buS lSHuSi CdIco~ dud tpHo
OF maternal love. In Greenland, ,
where the climate affords no nour-
ishment for infants, the mother
nourishes the child up to the third
and fourth years of its lie. She
endnres from him all the nascent
indications of the rude and domin-
eering spirit Of manhood with in
dulgont, all,forgiving patience -
Tho neSress is armed with more
than manly strength when her
child is attacked by the savage
beasts. We read with admiration
tho examples Of her matchless
courage and contempt Of danger.
But II death robs that tender moth
or, whom we are pleased to call .
savage, Of her best comfort-the
charm aud care Of her existanee---
where is the heart that can con
ceive her sorrow !
The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1866-10-18
The North Polo.


Two french gentlemen recently OK
plorcd the island Of Spitxbergon in a
manner never before done. They
have measured the mountains, mapped
the whole coast, examined the veg
etable products, the geological com
position, &C., of the island. They
found that the long day, extended
over several months, during which tho
sun never sets, became intensely hot
after a month or two by the unceasing
heat from the sun. In this period
vegetation springs up in great luxu-
rance aud abundance. The North
Pole is only n matter Of six hundred
miles from the island, and it is thought
by the two explorers, as by others,
that tho Polo itself, and the sea which
is supposed to surround II, could bo
reached from Spitzbergen without
any great difficulties being encoun-
tered. A singular fact noticed by the
explorers in connection with this Is
leud, is the enormous quantity Of
floating timber which literally covers
the waters Of the bays and creeks. A
careful examination Of the character,
condition aud hind Of the floating loga,
would no doubt lead to conclusion a
as to whence aud how they came, and
lprobably suggest new theories for the
solution Typographical problems con-
lnected with the Arctic Sea.

Conundrums.

What is that no ono wishes to havo,
aud yet no ono wishes to lose ? A
bald head.
Why is a cows tail like a swans
bosom2 Because it grows down.
Why are black smiths like con-
hrmed sinuers2 Because they have
hardened vlces,
AT what time OF life maya man be
said to belong to tho vegetable King.
dom2 Whom long experience has
made him sage.
What is the difference between
stabbing a man and Killing hog ?
One is assaulting with intent to kill,
and the other is killing with the
intent TO salt.
Why is the early grass like pen
knife2 Because the spring brings out
the blades.
If a man falls out Of the window,
what does he fall against2 Against
his will.

The Great Change.

When a man who has spent half
n lifetime in the dcns Of vice comes
forth to sit as meek disciple at the
Lords table when it ia said of a
Iscoffer, Behold, he prayeth (; 7"
when We hear a thief crying, sLord
remember me-" when a man whose
name has been the synonym OF
vileress, and whose brutality, cities
have horne as curse upon their
youth, becomes a preacher oi
Christ; when one whom the moral
sense Of the world has doomed as
an outcast--lost as no other on
earth can be-from whom the vir-
tuous have turned aside in the
street lest they should but touch
the hem OF her garments--when
snch a one is seen coming to Jesus
and standing at His feet, weeping
and bathing them with her tearS
and wiping them with the hair o
her head, till He who knew no sin
turns and says, I" Her sins, whIoI
ARE many, are forgiven, for shs
Iloved muchp,--how is it possible
