THE MOTHER.
I know that he 4s man now, great and wise, Wiser than I, his mother, worn and old, Ho sees with wide, clear vision, earth and skiea, And hath for right a knowledge firm and bold. 1^ love to think it is so, and that 1 I'laro given of my best to form him so, That he might have tho strength to pass mo by, Did I obstruct the path his soul must go. Yet, looking at him, oft I sea again The little ohild, with stumbling' footsteps, try To reach mo with his childish joy or pain, Loving me over all things far or nigh: Ho ssoms my baby still, and only mine, Though far beyond mo doth his being snino. \ -Edith M. Walkor. Pall Mall Magazine
