I hope to- night you will not write, And say it is un- mated, And think it only half a gift, And feel hut half elated ; But if you find one will not de, And you can only rest with two, With fingers -a-hioh are deft ones, FR set to work, .

Here are two wonderful manifesta- tions of the motherly instinct which is strong iii the female nature. The first story ea cerus a little girl of our ac- auainta ce. Her father kept pigs, in which sl e took the greatest interest; and on ne occasion when the. old hog had beer killedilittle Hattie Was heard comforti g in her tenderest tones the or- phaned orkers, and promising that she "would try to be a mother to them." Anothnr less touching example of woman', loving nature is the follow- ing: Mrs. Mulligan—cc And so you have no mother, now ?" Motherless boy—" No, mnm. Mrs. Mulligan—" Well, me boy, whenever you feel the want of a good hcking come to me and I'll be a mother _ to you.' Motherless.

"Badcase, bad case, uurse'; father and mother both died, of same fever, baby fond dead, and this boy will go soon ;' arid the old doctor shook his head gr vely. " Poo- little fellow," murmured the nurse. "To die alone, no mother's hand to wipe away the gathering dews of deal ; no -mother's arms; no mother's kiss !- She rushed back the damp golden curls fr m the white forehead ; the blue eyes opened .wide I land a faint voice whispered, " Mother I" The nutse bent pityingly over him, his eyes searched her face ten closed wearily. 'A -.)h, want my mother, I want my mother !" he moaned. "Poor baby," said the ph4fsiciati, "he will have this mothen soon." The child started -up, "-R ck me, mother," be cried. Very tend rly the doctordoctor lifted the little figura, and placed it in the nurse's arms; the wea y.head dropped upon her shoulder; the hands, still holding the violets, were fol( etkl lov- ingly around her heck. a To and fro she cradled him ; the room was rowing dark, a faint streak 6f -light camin at the eastern window and. slipped aoftly across the ledge.
