Motherhood.

This Is one Of the most beautiful
words In our anguage-beautiful, not
as collocation of letter symbols or
sounds, but for its manifold meaning.
When 1t is pronounced in appropriate
connection swarm of gentle and ten
der thoughts spring up and hover
about 1t like honey-laden bees around
their hive; for IL is generally conceded
that the highest type Of human affec-
ton, the pureet, most self-sacriticing,
most enduring, Is that of motherhood.
In law, In custom. in literature, in art,
In religion. the richest tributes Of ad-
miration and respect have been laid at
the feet of the mother.
1t Is not strange that among certain
peoples, notably the Hebrews, mater
nifty was eagerly desired by married
women and the grief OF those who re-
mained unmarried after attaining a
marriageable age was not that they
failed to capture a man, but that they
were denied children. While to be
married woman and be childless was
regarded as reproach. Rachel's APP
peal to her husband, GIVE me chill
dren or l die" is the pathetic outcry
of a heart that was breaking from its
unsatistied longing for motherhood.
One would conclude from certain
positive utterances In the press that
the maternal instinct has quite ex
pired in American wives OF the better
grade; that is. the more intelligent
grade; but it is well ascertained that
1t survives, though not 80 generally
and intensely as is desirable. A little
more simplicity in the mode of life,
little less Of bondage to the despotlc
mandates of society, little more of
domesticity or plain love Of home, and
nature will assert herself, to elevate
the race and to bless the world.-The
Pilgrim.

well, OF course, l don't know any

with him about old Brackenbury. Talk

saying that most old men were more or

Is absolutely necessary to every one.
There must be periods of relaxation
moments when the mind and soul and
body gather force for continued activ-
fy.
The thing one should guard against
Is taking rest at the wrong moment
Herein lies most Of the success of lie
resting at the right time. Too many
make the mistake Of undertaking to
do more than they can shoulder. They
begin task that does not belong to
them. They are over-ambitious, and
by that sin fell the angels" In try
lag to do more than they can do they
fail utterly.
But in doing those tasks that belong
to us there is a danger of growing
weary a little and resting at the
wrong moment Just at that crucial
point one should seize determination
and go on to the end. Great accom-
pllshments have been given up because
one wanted to take rest at the wrong
minute. After a large duty Ia done,
large relaxation should follow.
Power Is judged by the amount OF
work one may do without exhaustion.
