THE

MOTHER'S ASSISTANT

AND

YOUNG LADY'S FRIEND.

WILLIAM C. BROWN, EDITOR.

Our babes shall richest comforts bring
If tutored right they 'll prove a spring
Whence pleasures ever rise;

We'll form their minds with studious care,
To all that's manly, good and fair,

And train them for the skies.'

Dr. Nathaniel Cotton.

When her little party of friends were somewhat fatigued, and my sister was at a loss to preBent them with fresh amusement, she sat down in the midst of them, and spontaneously began talking about the goodness of Jesus Christ. She touched on the most prominent events in his life with such simplicity and animation of countenance, as interested all her visiters and me likewise."-Martha, by Řev. Andrew Reed.
