And saves the traveller all faint, and weary
Who just had sunk upon the ground to die,
| But drinks, and lives again.
| So, from mothers eyes,
| Descended the teardrops down her wasted cheek.
| o, prodigal! thank heaven thou hast mother,
To win thee back as ueer do another,
With tears, language man can never speak,
| And love that never dies.
| o, holy are her tears,
| Yea, and life's desert shall be glad for them;
Those drops that fall from eyes, serene and tender,
| Win yet surpass the diamonds utmost splender,
| And shine untarnished in her diadem,
| Throughout eternal years.
| Mrs. E c. Brame Mt Nebo, Miss: derive so
much pleasure from reading the good letters of the
| sisters, would like to add my might. I'm the
| morning let us sow our seed and in the evening
| withhold not our hand" Let always try to sow
| gooi seed. Though we may not see the budding
| now, and sometimes may feel discouraged; yet if
| we sow in fifth and patiently wait we will yet see
| the budding, the flower and fruit. The influence
we are now welding will not be transitory. IL the
| beautiful language of Young:
| Nor are our powers to perish immature,
| But after feeble effort here,
| Transplanted from this sublunary sphere,
| Beneath O brighter and in nober soil
Shall flourish fair, and put forth all their bloom.
Let us try to so live that the sweet consolation of
| the Psalmist may ever be ours God is our refuge
| and strength-"a very present help in trouble
therefore will not fear though the earth be re-
| moved and tho the mountains be carried into the
midst of the sea. We should seek that wisdom that
| contest from above at all times. How we train
our little ones aright-without heavenly wisdom to
| guide u? We are empty vessels, and often need
| filling from the fountain head.
