That is what mothers are doing to-night. Spying out holes in the little warm hose, Lajing by shoes that aro worn through the toes Looking o'er garments so faded and thin? Who but a mother knows whore to begin? Changing a button to nuiko' it look right? That IB what mothers arc doing to-night. Calling the little ones all around, the chair, Hearing them lisping their soft evening prayer, Tolling them stories of Jesus of old, Who loved to gather them into hia fold; Watohlng they listen with dreamy delight?

Creeping so softly to take a last peep, After tho little ones all are asleep, And to know if the children ore warm; Tucking the blankets round each little form, Kissing cnch'littlo fico, rosy and bright? That is what mothers arc doing to-night.
