Each mother is a historian. She
writes not the history of Empire* or of
Nations, npon paper, bqt writes her own
bislory on the imperishable mind of her
child. . Tbo tableland that history will
remain indelible when Time shall bo
bo more. That, history each mother
shall meet, again, and read again,zgitfai
eternal joy, or unutterable grief, in tho
coming ages of Eicraity. This thought
should weigh upon the mind of every
mother, and rcudejr her deeply circum
spect, and prnytyfuj, and faithful, in
her sMcmn work of training up her chil
dren for Heaven and Immortality. The
minds of children are very susooptiblo
and easily impressed. A word, a link,
a frown, may engrave an impression on
the miod of a child, which no lapse if
