MOTHER.
No more queenly title exists than “mother;” no sweeter sound will ever reach the ears than the lisping utterances of that name by childish voices. The flattery and adulation of the world soon pass away —another favourite treads the boards, a younger and more vigorous hand takes up the pen, and the one-time idol is thought of no more ; but in the home, the passing years, the loss of beauty, the Irek of showy qualities have no power to change the love of those who find in “ wife and mother ” the truest embodiment of all that is best and weteest in womanhood.
