How blessed and bow beautiful a mother’s love! 
How sweet the interchange of affection between 
mother and daughter! There is nothing this side 
of Heaven, more beautiful than the sweet dew of 
love, shed from a mother’s soul, upon th6 budding 
flower, — the fresh young heart of a daughter. It 
is like the sparkling drops which silently descend 
to refresh and invigorate the rose, remain a mo¬ 
ment there, — then exhale to heaven. Thus within 
the recesses of a heart, which receives gratefully 
the gentle, holy instructions of a revered parent, 
sweetest drops of filial love are gathered, which 
purify the soul ; then they are borne by angels to 
the high court of Heaven, as an offering meet, ac¬ 
ceptable to Him, who, when on earth a wanderer, 
honored his mother through life’s varied scenes, and 
spake to her sweet words of consolation,! even in 
death’s dark hour.
