Mother love h is never forgotten ; the lullaby songs * sang to the child come back to the tar it a, and though his heart be callouse at by care and even by crime, the songs of his infancy well nyp in his mind tun til he is almost a boy again. What tender thoughts swell the heart at the name of mother. What stronger, more se enduring, more sacrificing love than a of mother's? lHow beautifully the poet e expresses it : "Make me a child again, 1'e just for to-night." "Infinitely holy. i- utterly self-wecriteing, pure, nobie, n- beautiful is the matern:1l instinet." O From this fount of tendernes: men turn to a love more alluring, more en ticing-that of wife. This is hut nat ural; the God of Nature intendel it so. d Man leaves nther, father, sister wal rd brother and cleaves to the wife ; but ul- he should not forget the mother who ,n. hore him, who reared him, who unrsed id him, who listened to hi: troubles and who cared for him all through youtl. Oh no, do not forget the mother, the tender, patient, lovin: mother. A wife tills her own pecnl!ar sphere. bitt she cannot take the place of a mother.
