A MOTHER.

There is something in sickness that
breaks down the pride Of manhood ;
that softens the heart and brings it
back to the fe ing of infancy. Who
that has suffered even in advanced
life, in sickness and dependency
who thathas pined on a weary bed, in
the neglect and loneliness Of a foreign
land, but has thought of the mother
'sthat looked on his childhood" that
smoothed down his pillow and adj
m%inistered to his helplessness? Oh,
there is an endearing tenderness in
the love of a mother to her son, that
t~ranscendeth all other affections of the
heart. 1t is neither to be chilled by
selfshness, nor daunted by danger,
nor weakened by worthlessness, nor
stifed by ingratitude, She will sac
rfice every comfort to his conven-
isnce; she will surrender every pleas
He to his enjoyment; she will glory
iA his fame, and exult in his prosperi-
tt /; and, if adversely overtake him,
he will be dear to her by his misfor-
tune and if disgrace settle upon his
name, she will love and cherish him,
ahdif all the world cast him off, she
win be all the world to him.
