The villagers, when they heard that George Somers had returned, crowded to see him, offering every comfort and assistance that their humble means afforded. He was too weak, however, to talk — he could only look his thanks. His mother was his constant attendant ; and he seemed unwill- ing to be helped by any other hand. There is something in sickness that breaks down the pride of manhood ; that softens the heart, and brings it back to the feelings of infancy. Who that has languished, even in adv...anced life, in sickness and despondency ; who that has pined on a weary bed in the neglect and loneliness of a foreign land ; THE WIDOW AND HER SON. \^\ but has thought on the mother " that looked on his childhood," that smoothed his pillow, and adminis- tered to his helplessness ? Oh ! there is an endur- ing tenderness in the love of a mother to her son that transcends all other affections of the heart. It is neither to be chilled by selfishness, nor daunt- ed by danger, nor weakened by worthlessness, nor stifled by ingratitude.
