maternal heart could have accomplished.

There is no emotion 50 completely unset
fish as maternal affection Conjugai love
expects the return Of many kindnesses and
attentions. Filial love expects parental
care or is helped by the memory Of past
watchfulness. But the strength Of q
mothers love is entirely independent OF the
past and the future. and is, OF all emotions,
the purest. The child has done nothing in
the past 70 earn kindness, and in the future
it may grow up to mAltreat ia parent: but
still from the mothers heart there goes
forth inconsumsble affection. Abuse cannot
offend it, neglect cannot chill 10; time can
not edece IL, death cannot destroy il. For
harsh words it has gentle Gliding, for the
blow it has bensfcent ministry, for
neglect IL has increasing watch

pleads for pardon az the governors feet,

friends from witnessing the struggles Of

gloom-sruck night you may see a single
star. one of Gods pickets, with cleaning

just look In for an hours visit TO her you
would rouse up in the aged one g whole
world Of blissful memories. What IL she
does sit wishot talking much; she
watched you for many months when you
knew not how 70 talk at all. What IL she
has many ailments TO tell about During
fifteen years you ran 20 her with every
little scratch and bruise, and she doctored
your little finger as carefully as a surgeon
would bind the worst fracture. You say
she s childish now. l wonder IL she ever

care not how much you did for them, they
have done more for you.
But from this weird text Of the morning
comes rushing in upon my soul thought
that overpowers me. This watching by
Rtzpah was an after death watching. l
wonder II now there is an atter-d cath
[ think there is. There are Riz-
pahs who have passed death, and who are
still watching. They look down from their
and glorifed state upon US, and is
not that an after-death watching1 cannot
believe that those who before their death
we're interested in us have since their death
become Indifferent az 70 what happens 80 US.

which R,zpah watched, seated upon the
rocks, was she more alert, or diligent, or
