He moved uneasily, as if pain had disturbed him; but he did not lift his eyes from the page on which they were resting. “ The harder a mother slaved for her children the Jess they care for her.” The boy moved again; almost with a start, as though the pain felt an instant before had suddenly increased. “All children are thankless!” So the speaker kept on, talking to a friend, yet really thrusting at the boy. “Not all,” answered the friend. “I have a mother and I know my heart in regard to her. It is full of love and gratitude, and I cannot remember the time it was aot so.” “ There are exceptions to all rules. And besides there are few women like your mother. That would be a cold heart, indeed, into which she did not in \ spire love.” “ Love begets love. That is the old xt ta trite story ; and as true to-day as it was 6W J )mg a thousand years ago.

They have keen instincts— their eyes are sharp—they read ns. and know us sometimes better than we know ourselves.” i “ They are sharp enough, I suppose ; hut not quite so sharp as all that,” was answered. “ I’m not one of those that make children of much importance.” “ Our estimation in the case will not alter the result, my friend. Of that we may be certain. As we are to our chil dren so will they be to. us. Love begets j love, and kindness good will 11 we do j not hurt them wantonly i they will not. in | turn, wound us by neglect.” “ Hurt them wantonly 1 Am 1 sure that I gat your meaning?” “ Are you much surprised that Tom Baldwin made his escape from home at the first good opportunity “ Well, 1 looked for it, I must confess ; but that don’t excuse him. He’s proved himself to be an ungrateful boy, after all his mother hits done for him. But, as I said a little while ago, J all children are thankless. 1 don’t calculate anything from mine. They’ll grow up, and scatter themselves east and west; getting off as far from home as possible, and I’ll probably be left to an asylum in the poor house when 1 get old and helpless.” “ You talk in that way before your children ?” said the friend. “ They know my sentiments.” • “So I inferred. In that way you hurt them. You put their future on trial, and write out a verdict of condemnation, when it is impossible for them to vindi cate themselves against you cruel chages. I saw your boy stand and writhe a little while ago, under your sharp thrusts at him. He was no party to lom Baldwin's unfilial act ; and it was a hard thing in you, my friend, to make Tom S dilin quency the occasion for smiting your own son, whom you may bind to you, if you will, by triple cords of love, not to be broken: or push away to a distance, where he can feel no warmth or no at traction. Take care ! You are on dan gerous ground ” “ Oh, you make too much of children,” was answered, but with a little obstruc tion in manner. “They are simply human beings.— They have sensitive souls, quick to receive impressions. Tender to love, but hard or resentful toward all unkindness. They are creatures of feeling rather than thought, not generally holding malice, but rarely losing the memory of pain from unjust infliction, in after years this memory is often revived. It is my opinion that in a large number of cases, where children ne glect their parents in old age the cause lies just here.” “ All of which is simply vindictive,” said the lad’s mother, “and a poor com pliment to human nature." “ Human nature doesn’t often suffer un justly through hard judgment,’ was ans wered. “ But lam not offering an apol ogy for her short comings, only look alter the cause. To prevent is better than to cure. Forewarned, forearmed. Is it not much the wiser course for us to .make sure of our children’s love in future by offering them love in the present?” »• You speak as though I didn’t love my children.” A dark stain marked the woman’s cheeks. There were sodden flashes in her eyes. She was a woman of quick temper. . “Every feeling has its sign,” was calmly replied. “Love, anger, dislike— each expresses itself in a different way. And these signs every one knows. Even the babe of one brief summer may read them. Why is it that Edward feels that You do not love him I** «Who says that he feels so!” The mother started. There was a mingling of anger with surprise in her face. “ Must it not be that you withhold, too often, the signs of love. ?” “ I shall get angry at you, if you talk to me any longer in this strain.’ “ No, my dear friend, yon must not get angry with me. Too many sweet memories of the past are shared between us. Bare with me now, as one who holds you in her heart. Shall I relate to you an incident that occured in my house only yesterday ? It is under the warrent of this incident, that 1 have ventured on the plainness of speech which has disturbed y °The red spots faded off from the moth er’s cheeks. The keen light went out of I her eyes. . •“ Go on,” she said her voice dropping .down from its sharp key. m Edward had called to see the children. We always like to have him come. He is never rude, nor course in his manners, but gentlemanly in bearing beyond what is unusually seen inf lads of his age. 1 have more than once compared him with my oldes t son, and wished that John re- [independent in everything. J sembled him in many things. The two boys were in the parlor alone. John, I am sorry to say, is not always to be trusted. He is over curious, and apt to meddle with things that should be sacred from his touch. Recently he lias become interested rn insects, and has begun to collect and preserve them. There was a vase of wax flowers on the parlor mantle-piece, the ingeneous maker of which hail placed several imitations of moths and beetles among the leaves.— The vase was covered with glass. John's new formed interest in etymology had given a special attraction to these wax moths and beetles; and on this occasion he went so far as to lift the glass cover ing. that he might obtain a view. In< venturing to do this, one of those acci dents that so frequently happen with chil dren and grown people when they are not doing just right, occured. '1 he glass shield slipped from John’s band, and ciacked to pieces on the floor The noise startled and excited me. I went hastily, to the parlor and saw at a glance the damage which had been dune, and also comprehended the cause of the disater. — Edward looked pale and frightened ; John flushed and grieved. Repentance and self condemnation had come with accident. — Even through my indignation which could not be stayed, 1 saw that. Hard words were struggling to come through my lips but I repressed them. Experience warned me to keep silence until I could speak calmly, and under the influence of reason. i stood, fur a few moments, looking at the shivered glass, and then, without trust ing my lips to say anything, went out for the dust pan and brush. I was glad that I bad controlled myself. It is my ex perience that scolding always does barm ; and even where it works correction of bad habits, I am certain th*t a different way would have been better. I was quite self possessed when 1 returned. As 1 stooped to gather up the broken fragments ol glass, John came up close to me. I did speak to, nor look at him. Edward had drawn back to a distant part of the room. Silently the work of collecting the pieces of glass went on, John standing near me all the while. It was done, and I was about raising, when I felt his arm across my shoulder. “ I’m so sorry,” he said in a penitent voice, laying his face down against mine, which 1 had turned toward “It was wrong to touch it I know ; but I thought I would be so careful. I can’t t tell what made it slip out of my hand.” “Accidents are almost sure to happen us, my son,” I answered, gently, but seri ously, “ when we are not doing what is just right. Let this disaster stand as a lesson for the future.” “You shall take my money, and buy a new case, mother,” he answered, in a spirit,of manly justice that was greatful to my ears. “If this, little experience will make you more care ful about doing right.” I returned, “ none of us will very deeply regret the accident.” He put his arms around my neck and lri«at»d me. I kissed him in return, and then went out, thanking God in my heart, that he had helped me to self-control in a moment of trial, when passion would have hurt my boy. Not long afterward I heard the boys talking together. Edward said “ifk had been my mother, she would have scolded at me, until I was mad enough to break every thing in the house. Why didn't yimr mother scold you !” “ Because she loves me, and knows that scolding wouldn't make me half so sorry as 1 am.” “ I wish that my mother loved me,” said Ed ward, in a tone of voice so sad and long ing that it brought tears into my eyes.” The "mother of Edward caught her breath at this. Her lips moved as if she were about to speak ; but she repressed what was in her thoughts, and kept silent. “ Of course your mother loves you, ans wered John. So the fnend continued. But Edward said, “No I’m sure she doesn’t love me.” “WhydO you say that V 9 questioned John. “If she loved me, she wouldn’t be always scolding me, and hurting me by hard words, no matter what I do. Oh, John if I had such a mother as you, I’d be the happiest boy alive! I’d do any thing for her. There was silence for some time. It was broken by the friend, who said: “ Forgive me for having told you this. The wounds of a friend are better than the kisses of an enemy. Forgive what may seem an > exaltation of myself above you. He who knows my heart knows that in it there is no pride of superiority. He who knows how weak 1 am, how often I fall short, how often passion gets the better of reason; how near it was to bearing me down yesterday. It was in His strength 'that I overcame aud helped my boy instead of hurting him. In His strength you!may overcome afco, and win the love of ai child whose heart is athirst j for your love, as is the drooping flower j athirst for the' dew and rain. ’ The mother of Edward bowed her face into her hahds. For a little while, her body shook with half choked sobs. Then she looked ub at her friend. Her eyes were wet, her face pale, her lips curved with pam and grief. ’ f ■ ' “ You are not hurt with me t” “ No, no,’’ she answered. “ Not with you, but with myself. What have I been doing'* What madness has possessed me T I know that love begets love —that in Mrs. Ho witt’s beautiful words, it has readier will than fear. 1 know, also, that hardness begets hardness; that driving is more difficult and far less certain than lending. And yet, knowing all this, I have sought to rule my children by pas sion and ibrce ; to drive instead of lead ing them info the right ways. No, no. lam not hurt with you. For all this plain speaking, which I so much needed, 1 thank you tram the depth Of my' heart. If it is not better with both ate and my > children in future, it will not be. your fault. But it shall be better!” , And it was better. How quickly all changed under a new order of home govern ment. Love and kindness found swift abedience where anger and harshness bad met obstruction. Sunshine dropped in through a hundred places, which had been closely barred against its sweet influence ; and Edward wondering at the pleasant change, drew nearer and nearer to his mother, and felt that she loved him. O, love !. sweet to all hearts. Ye who should give of its treasures, see to it that your hand fail not in its dispensation. It has signs peculiarly its own, which are never mistaking. If you would win love hang out the sign. HOW NEAR WE ABE TO DEATH. —A writer in the Independent thus discourses on our nearness to death : “ When we walk near powerful machin ery, we know that one single misstep and those mighty engines would tear us to rib bons with their flying wheels, or grind us to powder with their ponderous jaws. So, when we are thundering across the lane in the rail car, and there is nothing but half an inch of flange-iron to hold us on the track. So, when we are at sea in a ship, and there is but the thickness of a plank between us and eternity. We imagine then we see how close we are to the edge of the precipice. But we do not see it.— Whether on the sea or on the land, the partition which divides us from eternity is something thinner than an oak plank or . half an inch of flange-iron. The machin ery of life and death are within us. The tissues that hold these beating powers in their place are too often not thicker than a sheet of paper, and if that thin partition were pierced or ruptured, it would be just the same with us as if a cannon ball had struck us. Death is inseparably bound up with life in the very structure of our bodies. Struggle a? he will to widen the splice, no man can at any time go futher from death than the thickness of a sheet of paper.” * Queeb Place fob Revolvers. —While the search was being made of the passen gers on the Central train, at Indianapolis, Indiana, containing delegates from the Democratic Convention, one evening re cently, a soldier noticed that a lady’s dress appeared more full breasted than it ought to have been, and his quick bye also detect ed the fact that the artificial contents in the lady’s bosom were so pressed out against the dress as to make it almost certain that pistols were there. He was a very polite soldier, and in the most gentlemanly man ner approached the lady and said; “ Madam, I want those revolvers.” “Sir,” said she very indignantly,“l am a very respectable woman, and have no revolvers." “Madam,” said the soldier, pointing to her bosom,l want those revolvers.” She again denied she had any.
