Care for Mother.

We have recently seen that which
made our hearts glad. 1t was no less
| than model daughter, who preferred
| her mothers ease and comfort to her
own, and in spite of the mothers anXi-
ETY. to sacrifice every good thing i'll life
for her daughters pleasure, insisted
upon making her life as easy and de-
| lighttul as a dream of girlhOod could
have pictured it.
During the winter she not only COM
! pleted the tasks of her last year in
school, but found time to relieve her
mother of much of the burden OfhOuse-
keeping. Rising early to 20 to market,
she would he home in time for break
fast, and find opportunity after that to
put all the upstairs in perfect order,
and give the little furbish to the parlor
necessary to make it presentable for
! the day so that when the door closed
on Belle i'll the morning her mother
was left with nothing to do but
straighten the sitting room, while
Sarah, the maid, did the breakfast
dishes, and the house was in order for
! the day. and the mother left to follow
lcT Swn inclinations. Naturally enough
with daughter to thus interest her
self in her the mother retained her
taste for the beautiful that she had
cultivated in her youth, and her days
were divided between the useful and
the beautiful, and often her fingers flew
| nimblv for while. as she would imag-
! inc the delight Belle would feel when
| she beheld the results her bush or nee
die had wrought.
1t is useless to say that Belle had
early enjoyed the advantages of all
| her mothers accomplishments, for
mothers always devote themselves to
| thei. daughters, but the daughter who
| feels it incumbent on her to look out
for mother where any personal mcon-
veniencc is required, is indeed such Il
rarity as to he remarkable.
! Well, June came at length, and with
it the anxiety of examination and
commencement. and when all was
happily over she. gave her mdi-
vidcd effort to assisting mother in COM
| plcting her preparation for Il visit to
brother James. whom she had lOnGcd
for years to behold again in the flesh {;
! but the children and their father had
needed her constant care, and she had
denied herself again and again, and
dropped silent tear us she inditcd
