Shakespeare's Mother.

As little Willie trotted at his
mothers side through the sweet air
of spripg>time, or beneath the leafy
shade of summer trees of Warwick
shire, the foundations of his great
historical plays may have been laid
by her repeating TO him those old
ballad rhymes which told the story
of highlands kings. Or she may have
changed the theme, and led his boy
ish fancy into wonderland, among
scenes, the remembrance of which
may, in after years, have had some
thing to do with "The Tempest" or
a holier strain may have been on the
mothers lips, and in softened tones
she may have told him of little Sam
uel sleeping in the dim Temple
courts, or of the home at Nazareth !;
for no careful reader of Shakespeare
can doubt that he must early have
known and loved his Bible. AS he
watched her in her daily life, he may
unconsciously have read his first
pages in female character, that book
which is in general so hard to study
for man, but which William Shakes
peare had st his fingers end down to
its last lines. She was certainly not
one of those women who keep their
boys dawdiing about in the shadow
of their petticoats. Everything that
we know of Shakespeare combines to
make us think he was lucky enough
to be sent out early into the world
TO mix with his fellows and not to be
spoiled at home. The very difficulty
which we have OF finding any trace
of himself in his works prove him to
have been the most unconceited OF
men. There is always in his genius
something which seems to remind US
of the nightingale, who pours forth
her music because it delights her to
sing and not because she is being
listened to. Thus Nary Shakespeare
even if she had not much book learn
ing, as perhaps after all she had not
may, very probably with her shrewd
sense and lively fancy, have helped
to unfold the mind of her mighty
son. So the boy grew up, gathering
o good deal of knowledge at school,
reaping a yet richer store from the
sights and sounds daily around him.
