A woman with good impulses, but with
scarcely any control, was Mis Lyon. She
loved her elrldreti, and desired thei'r good.
That they shown so lit'le forbearance, one
with the other manifested -o little fraternal
all', otioii, grieved her deeply.
"My w hole life is nu'de uiihappv by il !" she
would efieti s:,v 'What is to be done ? It is
dreadful to think ofa family growing up in
discord mid disunion. Sister at variance
with sister, ami brother lifting his hand

As was usual after mi ehulition of pasiot.

was perplexed in ,,. ;..,!. ;,s w, !! as giievid at

be done with her children ? Mow were they

feel her own unfitness f,,- the task". Mv this
time baby was asleep, uud the mother fi It
soineihing orthut tranquil pence that i verv
true inoihei- know.; when a young babe is
slumbering on In r bosom. A book lay on a
shelf m-ar where she was silting. .' M ,-s.
Lyon, scarcely conscious of the act, reached
out her hand for the volume. She opened it
without feeling any interest in its contents,
but she had read only a few sentences when
t'ois remark arrested 'her attention ;
"All right government of childien begins
with Sell-govellllllelit."
The words seemed written for her. uml the
truth expressed v. as elevated instantly into
percept io I. She saw it ill the clearest" light
and dosed the book and bowed her head in
sad ackmnvledgeini'nt of her own err us.
Thus I'm- some time she laid been sitting,
when the loiiliuei- of Voices from below grew
more and m. re ili-t lin t, and she was roused
tn Ihe painful fact, liiat, as usual, when left
alone, t'ao children were wrangling among
themselves. Various n,,;.-es, as of pounding
on, and throwing ah. ml chairs mid nl In r pie
ces of furniture v.i re In aid. and at length a
hind Si-ieam, mingled w ith angiy vociferations
smote upon her ears.
Indignation swelled instantly in the heart
of M i s. Lynn, and hurriedly placing the si, op
ing babe in ils crib, she started fnr the seen
nf disnrder. iiiuved by an impulse to punish
severely the vuiing rebels against her autlior

upon the stairs, struggling with hcr.ilf ami

with a touch of sorrow in her voice she could
not subdue, 1 wish you would go up into my

Without a sign of opposition, er even of
reluctance, F.mily went quietly from Ihe nur
sery, in obedience to her mother's desires.
"This room is very much in disorder, Ju
lia.'? Many time, Mt. Lyons raid, under like
circumstances, "why don't Toil put things to

asked the child, cnrioiulv. and with it pitving

'Sometimes it does, mv son," replied Mrs.
Lyon, kindlv, 'and it is uiwavs unpleasant,
W'on't you try to plav without making so

Mow sweet to the mother's ta-le were those
(ir.sl fruits of self tiouttol. In tho effort to
govern herself, what a power she had acquir

she had pour, ,1 the oil of peace over the storm

Only the first fruits were there. In all lu r
