or Love of Mother.
he Wonderful is the power of a mother,
Z. and man is dependent upon her from
he the cradle to the grave. 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.
