MOTHERHOOD. “A mother has perhaps the hardest earthly lot; and yet no mother worthy of the name ever gave herself thoroughly for her child who did not feel that, after all, she reaped what she had sown.” —Henry Ward Beecher. Mighty is the force of motherhood! It transforms all things by its vital heat; it turns timidity into fierce courage and dreadless defiance into tremulous submission ; it turns thoughtlessness into foresight and yet stills all anxiety into calm content; it makes selfishness become self-denial, and gives even to hard vanity the glance of admiring. —George Eliot. f‘A mother's love is indeed the golden link that hinds youth to age; and he is still but a. child, however time may have furrowed his cheek or silvered his brow, who can yet' recall, with a softened heart, the fond devotion or the gentle chidings of the best friend that God ever gives us.” —Bovee.
