"The mother in her hand holds the key Of the soul; and she it is who stamps the mould i 01 character, and makes the being, who , would be a savage But for ^ier gentle care, a Christian 1 man. The mother of JohnQuincy Adams said in a letter to him, written when he was Only ten years old: I would rather see you laid in your ffrave than grow a pro­ fane and graceless boy." Not long before the death of Mr.Aclams a gentlemen said to him, "I hare found out who made you." "Whatdo you mean?"saidMr.Adams. The gentleman replied, *'1 have been reading the published letters of your mother." "If," this gentleman remarks, *1 had spoken this name to some little boy who had been for weeks away from his mother his eyes could not have flashed more brightly, nor his face glowed more quick­ ly than did the eyes of that venerable old man when I pronounced the name of his mother. He stood up in his peculiar manner and said,-- *Tee sir; all that is good in toe, I owe to my mother." Nobody knows of the work it takes To keep the home together; Nobody knows of the steps it makes; Nobody knows--but mother. Nobody listens to childish woes Which kisses only smother; Nobody's pained by naughty blows; Nobody--only mother. Nobody knows of the sleepless cftt® Bestowed on baby brother; Nobody knows of the tender prayer, Nobody--only mother. Nobody knows of the anxious fears Lest darling may not weather The storms of life in after years; Nobody knows--but mother. Nobody kneels to the throne above To thank the heavenenly Father For that sweetest gift of mothers love Nobody can--but mother.
