mother's death. As soon as she knew of his coming, she immediately had him called to her room, and left alone with hc-r. Iong and tearful was their conversation.

Sweet and tender was this interview between a mother and son who had never lacked any degree of confidence on either side. ' You know, my son, that it has always been my most earnest wish and prayer that vou should be a preacher of the gos-

nrl. and thus a benefactor to the souls of

r men. In choosing the law. you are aware you have greatly disappointed this nope. I know it, dear mother; and I have done it. not because I like th law so

If I dared do it. for your sake, if lor no other reason, I would do it " In God's time, my dear son, in God's time, I trust you will. 1 neither urge it, nor blame you. But promise me now, that you will never undertake any cause which you think is unjust, and that you will never aid in screening wrong from coming to light and punishment.' The son said something about every man's having the right lo have his case presented in the bct light he could. I know what you mean.' said she; but I know that if man has violated the laws of God and man. he has no moral right to be shielded from punishment. If he has confessions and explanations to offer, it is well. But for you to take his side, and for money, to shield him from the laws, seems to me no better than if, for money, you concealed him from the officers of justice, under the pica that evcrv

man had a right to get clear of the law if he could. But I am weak and cannot talk, my son; and yet if you will give me tha solemn promise, it seems as if I should die easier. But you must do as you think best. The young man bent over his dying mother, and with much emotion, gave her the solemn promise which she desired. Tender was the last kiss she gave him, warm the thanks which she expressed, and sweet the smile which she wore, and wfatch was left on her countenance after Tw spirit had gooewp to meet the smiles f the Redeemer. Some months after the death of bis mother, the young man left the shadows or tha Green Mountains, and toward a
