had applied snakes oil (which, n an
old woman had told him, was q sure

A Lock OF HAIR.-Almost every ono

the head of one now dwelling in that
silent land whence come no messages.
no letters, no tokens of any kind to tell
Of love or of remembrance. Every ono
knows what strange emotion. half joy.

to take il from its hiding place, hold it
in the palm, press it to the check, and
use It IS q talisman to recall all that we
must rarforce forget in the wosk-a-day
world for the sake Of strength to DO its
battle.
We DO not know whose hair that
which vcur treasure may be; whether

lock from the brow that once made
your breast its pillow, parents gray
tress, or young lovers sunny curl
Nor does it matter, for all love in its es-
sence, in that part Of it that outlivcs
death, is alike and equally pure, but We
know that there is nothing like it to
you anywhere. There are no words for
the thoughts it brings. As you touch

A WORD, MoTTERs.-Each mother
is historian. She writes not the his
tory Of empires or Of nations on paper,
but she writes her own history on the
imperishable mind of her child. That
tablet and that history will remain in
delihle when time shall come no more.
That history each mother will meet
again, and read with eternal JOY or un-
utterabIe woe in the far ages of eterni-
ty. This thought should weigh upon
tie mind Of every mother, and render
her deep'y circumspect, ard prayerful,
ana faithful. in her solemn work of
training up her children for heaven and
immortality. TIE minds Of children
are very susceptible and easily impress
ed. A word, look, frown may en-
grave an impression on the mind of n
child, which no lapse of time can wash
out or efface. You walk along the sea-
shore when the tide Is out, and you
form characters, or write words or names
in the smooth, white sand, which lies
spread out so clear and beautiful at
your feet, according as your fancy may
dictate; but the running tide shall in a
few hours wash out and cfface forever
all that you have written. Not so the
lines and characters of truth or error,
which your conduct imprints on the
mind Of your child. There you write
impressions for the eternal good or i'll
of your child, which neither the foods
nor storms of earth can wash out, nor
deaths cold fingers can erase, nor the
slow-moving angels Of eternity obliter-
ate. How careful. then, should each
mother be of herself in the treatment
OF her child!
