The story OF what YOU hA" done, or
what you have written, or tnc influence
you have exerted, has gone back 20 the old
homestead-for there is some cue always
ready to carry good tidings, and that story
makes the needle in the ole mothers
tremulOus hand fly quicker, and the fail
in the fathers hand comes down upon tho
barn floor with more vigor Jus thump.
Parents love to hear good news from their
children. Do you send them good news
always?
Look out for the young man who speaks
of his father as "the Governor" "tbe
Squire" or the cold chap" Look out for
the young woman who calls her maternal
ancestor the cold woman" "The eve
that mocketh at his father, and reFuseth to
obey his mother, the ravens of the valley
shall pick it out, aud the young eagles
shall eat it,"
God grant that all these parents may
have the great satisfaction Of seeing their
children grow up Christians. But oh the
pang of that mother who, after a life OF
street gadding and gossip retailing, hang
ing on~the children the frippsrieS and fol-
lies of this world, sees those children
tossed out on the sea of life like foam on
the wave, OF noncutities iva II world whore
only bravery aud stalwart character can
stand the shock! But blessed be the
mother who looks upon her children as
sons and daughters OF the Lord Almighty.
Oh! the satisfaction Of Hannah in seeing
Samuel serving at the altar: Of Mother
Eunre i'm seeing her Timothy learned in

pense, to see children coming up useful in
the world, retaining the lost, healing the
sick, pitying the ignorant, earnest and
useful in every sphere. That throws a new
light back on the old family Bible when-
ever she reads it, and that will he oiut-
ment to the the aching limbs Of decrep-
itude, and light up the closing hours Of
lfe's day with the glorie1 OF an autumnJ

There she sits, tho old Christian mother,
ripe for heaven. Her eyesight is almost
gone, but the splanlors Of the Celestial
City kindes up her vision. The gray

around her arm chair with their griefs,
and joys and soiTows-tuose children nre
gone now. Some caught up iuto a better
