The classic example of that fact is the declaration attributed to Abraham Lincoln : AH that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." No other subject has a history so wound about .the heartslrlnKS of d mankind and with such a of literature as mother love mid love for mother. They have been the Inspiration of some of our most famous poets and have proand duced some of our back-groun- beet-know- poems. best-love- d In "The rrlncess Tennyson Included this tribute to MOTHER One not turned, save In sraoloua houaehold waya; Not perfect, nay full of tender wants, 'No ansel, but a dearer belns, all dipt la angel Instincts, breathing Paradise, Interpreter between the goda and man, Who looked all natlva to her place, and yet On tiptoe ecemed to touch upon a aphere Too gross to tread, and all male minds perforce Swayed to her from their orbits as they moved.

Many yeara since then have fled; Mother alumbers with the dead; Yat methlnka I sea her now, With lova-l- lt eye and holy brow, As, kneeling by her aide to pray, She gently taught me how to aay, "Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord my soul to keep." Oh! could the faith of childhood days, Oh I could Ita little hymns of praise, Ohl could Ita almpla. Joyous trust Be recreated from the dust That Ilea around a wasted life.
