MOTHERS GROWING OLD.

rMO II n b . u NJ w In " ObD.
Her steps are slow and weary;
Her hands unsteady now,
And paler still, and deeper
The lines upon her brow;
Her meek blue eyes have faded;
Her hair has lost its gold;
Her once firm voice now falters-
Ny mothers growing old.
Her days of strength are over;
Her earthly joys depart,
But peace and holy beauty
Are shining in her heart;
The links that bind henapirit
Relax their trembling hold;
She soon will be an angel
Sweet mothers growing old.
My thoughts flow back to childhood,
When fondled on her knee,
poured out all my sOrrows,
Or lisped my songs of glee;
But now upon me leaning,
So wearily and cold,
With trembling lips she murmurs,
''Dear child, I'm growing old"
think of all her counsels,
So precious to my youth;
How faithfully she taught me
Gods sacred words of truth;
How tenderly she led me
To Jesus blessed fold,
Where she will soon be welcomed,
No longer bowed and old.
The path of daily duty
Was ever her delight,
She walked by Faith and Patience,
And trusted God for sight.
Her hands with useful labor,
Each day their mission told;
Her deeds, like heavenly roses,
Still bloom, though she is old.
Alasl those hands so skillful,
Which toiled with loving grace
To make me blessed with comforts,
And home happy place;
Those dear hands, pale and wrinkled,
Are now by time controlled,
They rest in prayerful quiet
Dear mothers growing old.
Yet, though her earthly temple
Fast faileth day by day,
Her soul with faith increasing,
Pursues its heavenward way;
And when the mists of Jordan a-
Shall from her sight be rolled,
She'll shine in youth and beauty,
Where spirits ne'er grow old.
Oh. mother, fond and faithful,
Thou truest earthly friend,
May be near to soothe thee
Till all thy struggles end.
And while with sad heart yearning
Thy form my arms enfold,
Ipray in peaceto meet thee
Where saints no more grow old.

Agassiz on DarWinism.

Professor Agassiz, in the last lecture of his re-
cent course at the Museum Of Comparative FOOL
ogy, in Cambridge, gave his views on the Darwin
ian theory with more plainness than ever before.
lie commended that the fact of 4 resemblance, in
certain stages of growth, between different spe-
cies, is no proof that one has been developed out
of another. On this point he speaks as follows -
"We see that fishes are lowest, that reptiles are
higher, that birds have 4 superior organization to
both, and that mammals, with man at their head,
are highest. The phases of development which 4
quadruped undergoes, in his embryonic growth.
recall this graduation. lie has 4 fsh-like, a rep
tile-like stage before he shows unmistabable NAM
mal-like features. We do not on this account
suppose Il quadruped grows out of Il fish IN our
time, for this simple reason, that we live among
quadrupeds aud fishes, and we know that no such
thing takes place. But resemblances of the same
kind, separated by geological ages, allow play for
the imagination, and for inference unchecked by
observation"
Professor Agassiz maintains that there is no
unvarying, inevitable evolution in the geological
succession of organic life. 1T has" he says,
=. Just that freedom of manifestation, that indie
pendence, which chaTacterizes the work of mind
az compared with the work of law" Instead of
everything having gone forward mechanically, as
the evolutionists claim, the animals that should
be ancestors, if simplicity of structure is to char
actelize the tirst-born, are known to be of later
orignl: the more complicated forms have fire.
QuenCIy dppedTeu uTsl. ANU the simpler ones ldIeI,
and this in hundreds OF Instances. But here
again we cannot do better than to allow the Pro
lessor to state his conclusion for himself:
Il believe that all these correspondence be-
tween the different aspects of animal life are the
manifestations of mind acting consciously with
intention toward one object from beginning to
end. This view is in accordance with the work
ing of our minds; it is an instructive recognition
of a mental power with which our own is akin.
manifesting itself in nature. For this reason
more than any other, perhaps, do | hold that this
world of ours is not the result Of the action of
unconscious organic forces. but the work Of an
intelligent. conscious power.
This able and earnest protest against Darwin
ism, like the remarkable article on the subject
that has recently appeared in the Quarterly Re
cielc, will command the attention of the whole
scientific world. 1t is hardly possible that these
vigorous attacks will be endured in silence by
Darwin and his followers. We anticipate some
lively fighting between the opposing parties.
