THE TASK.
“Do, mamma, let me help.” the little hands That proffer help, are hindrances instead ; The puckering stitches mar the hem and bands, The gathers slip from off the broken thread. But patience, Mother heart the Master One Who sets for you life’s task, perchance mav say, Knowing the will to do, when night comes on “To sleep, my child, you have done well to-day.” —Cora A. Matson Dolson, in ‘‘Mother’s Magazine."
