Someone has said “There in an en-
during tenderness in the love of a
mother t<> a son that transcends all
other affections of the heart. It is
neither to he chilled by selfishness, nor
daunted by danger, nor weakened by
Morthlessness, nor stifled by ingrati-
tude. She will sacrifice every comfort
to his convenience; she will surrender
every pleasure to his enjoyment : she
will glory in his fame, and exult in
his. prosperity — and if misfortune
overtake him he will tie ’he dearer to
her for the misfortune; and if dis-
grace settle upon his name she will
love and cherish him in spite of his
disgrace; and if all- the world beside
cast him off she will be all the world
to him." ladn’t that just like a mother?
