The Remembrance of a Mother.

There are many connecting links in all our lives that are woven out of the remembrance of song, or flower, or a loving word. Among the "reminiscences of great statesman, Daniel Webster, it is related that on one occasion public reception was given him in Boston. Thousands of his country's citizens crowded together and paid him homage. Bursts of applause had been sounding all day in his ears. Elegantly dressed ladies had thrown bouquets of the rarest flowers at his feet. But as he as- oended the steps leading to his man. sion, crowned with the honors of the gala day. little timid girl stepped up and placed a bunch of old-fashioned garden pinks ia his hand. At sight of these old familiar flowers, and as their we'll remembered fragrance filled the air, the old memories were stirred. Just such piuks used to grow in his mothers garden when he was child Instantly that sweet face of the loved mother came to his vision; her tender gentle voice sounded once more in his ears. So overcome was he with the tide of old memories that crowded into his heart that he excused himself and went to his apartments alone.
 Nothing" said he, "in all my life affected me like that little incident"
 A worker in Young Mems Christian Association says: "There is nothing that will touch the heart of young man who has wandered from the ways of right doing so deeply as to speak about his mother. When all else fails to bring him to see the evil of his ways, the allusion to his mothers love and care for him will bring the tears of re- pentance."
 John Weston in his worst days could never forget his mother, at whose knees he had learned to pray, but who was taken from earth when he was but eight years old. My mothers God, the God of mercy, have mercy upon mel" was often his agonizing prayer in danger. and we all know how it was answert d. Evangelical Mess.
