A HEROIC MOTHER.

in the October No. of that valuable
periodical, the american PhrenOiog.

vellous that we were unwilling tC
give 1t the endorsement of a re pub
licatiOn until we were assured of the
correctness of its features, by young
woman resident in Charleston during
the war, but now a member of our
own congregation. Such an example
of patriotism, based on Christian
principle, ought to be enshrined in
the hearts of all who love their coun'

The heroism, devotion and self
sacrifice of the loyal women Of the
South have never been fully appre'
ciated. Many women, in other Sec
tions of the country, labored patiently
and unremittingly for the soldiers, ol
contributed and forwarded such hos
pital stores as they needed other
women watched faithfully and ten

wounded soldier, enduring for his
sake the hardships and priyations OF
camp or hospital life, though reared
in elegant and luxurious homes bu,
the loyal Southern women did al
this, and in addition encountered
with unfaltering spirit, the contempt
and abuse of nearly all their previous
associates and professed friends, and
oftentimes malignant persecution fol
their unwavering adherence to the
national cause. One of the nobles1
of these heroic spirits is the subject
of the following sketch.
Mrs. Potter was born in the north
of Ireland, of Scottish parents, and
came to this country when about
thirteen years of age. She married
and settled in Charleston before she
was fifteen. The early education she
received from her wealthy and intel.
ligent parents, added to much natur-
al ouickness of intellect and q spark
ling wit, made her one Of the mos
attractive and graceful of the ladies
of the Southern metropolis. She was
early called to sorrow, and in the
very prime of womanhood found
herself q widow with a group oi

On the Death Of joy Emerson. Infant Son of VI
ana Mrs. Eiydh Emerson, Of EdglepiLLe, Ohio.
BY r. j. SIMON
Our son from earth has passed away;
His body now returns to clay.
His welcome voice no more well hear:
Nomore on earth will he us cheer.
His little feet that round us trod.
Are decomposing' meath the sod.
Those beaming eyes impressed with love,
Now gaze upon the things above.
Wemourn for him who's gone to rest;
Who reigns eternal with tho blest.
Wemourn because his presence near,
So soon from us did disappear.
The hand that gave our infant birth,
Did choose to take him from the earth;
And hosts OF angels from above,
Did bear him to that world OF love.
His lovely form in earth lies deep;
He there shall sleep that last, long sleep.
And ages, as they roll along,
Shall swell that pale and mighty throng.
o, lonely is that vacant seat,
Where we our loved one used to meet
o, O,gloomy Is each silent night
That courses onward in its flight.
The angels trump one day shall sound,
And millions from their graves shall bound
Our son from earth shall then arise
To meet his Savior in the skies.
Then let us trust I'm God on high,
And have His presence ever nigh;
That We may ever ready be,
To meet him in eternity.
Nay llth, 1869.
