There was.the mother; the -boy stood nigh With a aharneless look, and his head held high, Age had come over her, and sorrow and care; These mattered: but little so he was there, - A. prop to her years, and a Pght to her eyes, And prized rte" only a mother can prize; But wiest for him could a mother say, Waiting his doom on a sente.nee day? fier husband had died in his shame and sin; And she a widow, her living to win, Had toiled and struggledfrom morn till night, Making with want a wearisome fight, Bent over her work with resolute zeal Till she felt her old frame totter and reel, Her weak limbs tremble, her eyes grow dim, But she had her boy„ aud she toiled for him. And he—he stood in the criminal dock, With a hcart as hard as a flinty rock, An impudeat glance and a reckless air, Braving the scorn of the gazers there; Dipped in crime and encompassed round With proof of his guilt by captors found, Ready to stand, as he phrasedsit, "game," Holding not crone, but penitence, shame. Poured in a flood o'er the inother'e cheek The moietening tears when the toague was weak„ And she saw through the mist of these bitter teal*.

There is something good in you yet, I know; PR give you a. chance—make the most of it Go !" The twain went forth, and the old: judge said: " f meant to have given him a year instead, And perhaps, 'tis a difficult thing to tell If clemency her be iU or well, ' -Rut a rock was struck in that callous heart' From which a fountain of good may start; For one ou the ocean of crime long tossed, Who loves his mother, is not quite lost."

Say "No." A man's success in this world, and his salvation in the world to come, de- pend largely on his power to say "No." Man fell because he could not say "No" when temptation assailed him, and then are falling every day for the same reason. The men who have conquered the ad- versary and, triumphed in the midst of temptation are the men who have power to say "No," and stick to it when they have said it.
