OUR MOTHER.

Round the idea of ones moth
er, the mind of a man clings with
fond affection. 1t is the first
deep thought stamped upon our
infant hearts when yet soft and
capable OF receiving the most
profound impressions, and the
after feelings of the world are
more or less light in comparison.
Even in our own old age we look
back to that feeling as the sweet
est we have through life. Our
passions and our willfulness may
lead us far from the object of our
filial love; we learn even to pain
her heart, to oppose her wishes,
to violate her commands; we
may become wild, ,headstrong and
angry at her counsels or opposi-
ton; but when death has stilled
her monitory voice, and nothing
but still memory remains to re-
capitulate her virtues and deeds,
affection, like flower beaten to
the ground by a past storm,
raises up her head and smiles
among her tears. Round that
idea, as we have said, the mind
clings with fond affection; and
even when the early period of
our loss forces memory to be 81
lent, fancy takes the place of
remembrance, and twines the i'm
age of our dead parent with a
garland of graces, and beauties,
and virtues, which we doubt not
she possessed.

PUTTING ON CHRIST.

"Wild Nelly" poor ragged
girl in an Irish Sunday-school,
thus illustrated with matchless
beauty and force of the great doc
trine of the new birth. The Su-
perintendent asked her: "Nel-
ly, will you tell US what it is to
be a new creature in Christ Je-
sus2" She rose in her seat, with
a tattered shawl wrapped half
around her, and, facing the ques-
toner, said "Well, sir, l think
it's just as if''-and she began to
unwind her shawl-'sjust as if l
should go to Jesus, and put Him
on like this shawl" and she
folded it around her neck; "and
when I've got it all around me,
am new creature, because Jesus
covers me all over with his own
goodness"

HUMILITY AND cHEERFULNEss.

"Observe the peculiar charac-
teristics of the grass which adapt
it itespecially for the use of man,
are its apparent humility and
cheeyulmess. Its humility, in
that it seems created only for the
lowest service-appointed to be
trodden on, and fed upon. Its
cheerfulness, in that it seems to
exult under all kinds of violence
and suffering. You roll it, and it
is the stronger the next day; you
NOW it, and it multiplies its
shoots, as if it were grateful you
tread upon it, and it only sends
up richer perfume. Spring comes
and rejoices with all the earth,
glowing with variegated flames
of flowers, waving in soft depth
of fruitful strengh. 1t is always
green, and is only the brighter
for hoar frost"

A CURIOUS LEGEND.

When Adam was far advanced
in land at the point of death,
he sent his son to the angel Mich
sci, who kept the gate of Paradise,
to pray for the oil of mercy SO
that he might be healed. The
angel answered that it could not
be until ffty-five hundred years,
but he gave Seth a branch of the
tree of which Adam had eaten,
bidding him to plant it on Mount
Lebanon, and that when it bore
fruit his father should be healed.
Seth planted the branch on his
fathers grave; it took root and
grew, and from it were made
Aaron's rod, and Moses staff,with
which he struck the rock and
sweetened the waters of Marah.
1t also formed the pole on which
the brazen serpent was lifted land
the ark of the testimony.
At last it came into the hands
of Solomon, who used it in build
ing his palace, but it continually
resisted the efforts of the builders
to adjustit Now it was too long,
and then again too short. The
builders being angry, then threw
it into a marsh so that it might
serve as a bridge. The Queen of
Sheba would not walk upon it,
but adored it, and told Solomon
that upon it should be suspended
the man through whose death the
kingdom should be destroyed.
Solomon then had it buried
deep in the ground, where after
ward the pool of Bethesda was
dug, and from the virtues of this
tree healing properties were i'm
parted to the waters. After it
had been buried three hundred
years, it rose to the surface of the
water, and the Jews took it and
made of it the cross of our Saw
iour.-From tile Cross IN Legend
