Une soothing tiiuch of her kindly bands works wonders in the feverish child; a lew" words let fall from her lips in tbe ear of a sorrowing sister do much to raise the .load •of grief tbat is bowing its victim down':to tbV dust of anguish.

The rough schoolboy flies in a rage from the taunts, of his companions to find .^olace in his mother's smile ; the little ono, full o grief with its owi* large trouble, finas a heavrn of rest-writs mother's breast ; aud .so .one might go on with instances oftheinffuence a sweet-mmded woman has iu the social *Hfe with which she is -connected.
