"Darned Stocking."
Reply to Mrs. N. J. A. Simons
By JAMES S. WATKINS.
"Darned Stockings" to ins—and the readers, must
seem
To be an old subject—an un-hole-y theme—
Hence, good Mrs. Simons, I now beg of you
Full pardon—l knew not your stockinye were new.
•I imagined that yours, like those of Amiel,
Had rents in the toes, and all darned at the heel;
Sot since you have spoken, and freely disclosed
That you're always new clad, or, as some would say,
hosed,
I am free to admit my dedication . was wrong,
And /am sorry I sang you so silly a song,
I trust this atonement will satisfy you,
And call from your pen, yet, a paragraph new.
As regards the "brief sentence," I once may blare
seen
In the Spy,or some other live paper, I ween,
My mcm'ry don't serve me—your suggestions ;I
keep,
And agree that I read it when quite sound asleep.
The Spy of A. M. Rambo, I weekly do take,
And strive all I can to read while awake,
Rut, if, in this instance, sleep over me came,
Dear Madam, not I,—old Morpheus' to blame.
Then bend quick your bow—and drive an ink quiver,
And shoot him a sentence he'll forget, neVer I never
How wrong, Mrs. Simons, thus to accuse
A poor "bearded friend" with the faults of your muse
For though myself your "friend" may have written!
dut never, I vow, have I taken to "knitting,"
Unless you mAy term it a knitting at ver-'e,
And, in this case my "piece, mam, could be nothing
worse.
Quite true, I hare spoken of "waterfalls," "rats"
Not "diamonds," but "laces," "ribbons," and "hats"—
"Fine clothing" in fashion, a fashion for those
Who often wear diamonds and roughly thrned hose.
But this is no argument—none that I can see,
Why hose trom large rents, mam, should not be
kept free.
The story you tell of your school-going days,
Embracing a scene, once at one of your plays,
May all be quite true—Eve no doubt it is,
aut then you must know you was 'then but a-rides-
Though not now, a-miss, you surely have "teamed"
That the hole at the top. has never been darned,
At least, the ono named—discovered by you,
To be at the top for the foot to go through.
Now pray. Mrs. Simons, don't immagine me rude,
If i do on your innocent patience intrude.
In asking you, candidly, if ever you've seen
A young married gentle so horrzdly green,
As not to know whether, when out with Itheel,
Her siockiogs need darning on Cop or the hod 1
The hoops, you must knew, 'tis quite plain and true
Bring ever the stockings most ready to view.

A Lesson For Fathers.
!Mr. and Mrs. Davis bad been married
twelve, y,ears.., During jb,at t time•-.,-.oe-y
had been very happy. lfr. Davis s,as a
prosperous merchant, and a man whom
every one respected for his sterling worth
and his many good qualities. His wife
was a fitting partnei for him. They had
struggled on together,and, having known
poverty,were now disposed to enjoy their
prosperity with prudence and propriety.
They had four children, the oldest just
entering upon his eleventh year, and the
youngest just out of the arms. They
were good children, all of them and no
parents ever had better cause to be
happy in or proud of their offsprings
than hid those of whom we write. Yet,
strange though it may seem, these chil
dren had caused the only unhappiness
that had ever come into the family.
Mrs. Davis was a warm-hearted,loving
little woman,and petted and indulged her
children in almost everything. Mr. Davis,
on the other hand, was very strict and
positive with them. His wife thought
him too strict, and frequently told him so.
lEle did not agree with her; he was a con
scientious man, he loved his children,and
was sincerely anxious to do his duty by
thew. He had a dread of seeing them,
as he expressed it, "like other children,
bad, reckless and willful." He did not
fully appreciate a child's nature,and what
he called "bad, reckless and willful" in
them, was simply the results of the wild
and thoughtless freedom of that happy
age—qualities which may, by patience
and tender care, be ripened into the
noblest attributes, but which,if repressed
by sternness or severity, will surely mar
the character of the child and adult for
all time.
Mr. Davis' wish was to have his chil
dren little models of propriety, and he
believed it to be for their good. But
Heaven save us from your proper children!
Give us the free, careless, ringing laugh,
and the pure and happy hearts that come
with it, and propriety for the sadder and
wiser age which will close life's spring
time full soon enough. Mr. Davis could
not bear to hear his children romping,
and shouting through the house—it was
so rude; or to see' them with their dresses
soiled or deranged in the least, as if chil
dren and dirt were not allied by nature.
Many innocent things,which were more
the result of carelessness and childishness
than of any objectionable quality, were
sharply and summarily suppressed, and
frequently the little ones were utterly at
a loss to imagine why their father was so
strict with them.
Mrs. Davis would often remonstrate
with her husband. She told him there
was no doubt that he was too strict; and
that he would do his children more harm
than good.
[WHOLE NUMBER 1,921.
. 'Too much severity will warp and
blunt their natures," she said. "You
had better spoil them a little."
"But Susan," her husband exclaimed
earnestly, "it is my duty to try to make
good men and women of them."
"I know it, and I am always ready to
help you to the extent of my ability.—
The best children I ever saw were those
who were spoiled as much as managed.—
Kindness and indulgence -are as valuable
as sternness and control."
My. Davis thought he was kind to his
children. He meant to be so; he loved
them dearly, and would .have made any
persoaal sacrifice to secure their happi
ness. It made him very unhappy to
cause them any pain,but when he thought
it necessary, be did not shrink from it,
for duty was with him a sacred thing.—
His great error lay in requiring a child
to .conform to a man's rule of duty, and
in judging both by the same standard.
One day, while pondering painfully
over this matter, Mr.. Davis turned to
his wife, and said:
"Susan, I am afraid the children are,
not very fond of me."
He spoke in a low pained tone, and it
touched the little woman heart instantly.
"That is one of your fancies, perhaps,"
she said
"No," he replied, "I have watched
them closely. It isn't fancy, it is unhap
pily true. They are afraid of me and
shrink from me. When I come where
they are they stop their play,and become
silent and shy. George avoids me now
constantly, and even little Annie seems
happier when away front me. I dont
know what I have done to deserve this."
"I don't mean to pain you Robert,"
said his wife, gently, "but don't you think
this is the result of too much strictness ?
I have dreaded this. It may be that
they have learned to fear , you, not as a
loving father, but as a stern ,harsh mas
tar. Isn't. it so?"
"I am afraid it is too true," he answer
ed, sadly. "but Heaven knows I have
tried to do-my duty."
When Mr. Davis returned home from
his business the next day, he found little
Annie, his pet of all the children, very
sick. During t:le night she grew worse
and the next morning the physcianzpro-,
non ilacdthe'r4dang,erousitilt*liiiel
fever. She grew still Worse; and the
doctor's face became graver at each visit
At last he told the afflicted parents that
the little one mu.t die.
Mrs. Davis bore up wonderfully under
the tearible announcement, but it seemed
to crush her husband completely. He
loved none of his children as well as this
one, and now that he was about to lode
her, she seemed doubly dear to him. It
was hard to tell which was the more
cinching sight—the mother's patient
torrow or the father's stormy outburst.
s The final moment came at last. Little
Annie lay very white and patientovaidue:
for the voice of the Master to call her up
higher. She had been told she must die,
and she was very willing. Her mother
sat by her holding her hand, and while
she stifled her own grief,told her of God,
of heaven and the holy angels. The
little face lighted up, and the wan lips
murmured:
"I'm so glad I'm going there." But
another thought—that of leaving her
parents—came to her, and she asked,
eagerly, "But you'll come there too,wont
you mamma .?"
"Yes, darling."
"And papa'll come, too ? I love papa
very much, mama, and maybe when he
gets to heaven, he'll not scold us so
much."
A bitter sob interrupted her, and the
grief-stricken father moaned, " 0 God,
forgive me for my
_harshness to them !"
" Dou't cry, papa," said little Annie,
reaching out her baud to him. " We
all love you. Brother George loves you
so much,and it makes him cry when you
scold him. When lam gone you must
not scold the children."
"So help me God,l never will !" burst
from the quivering lips of the father.—
As he bent over her, little Annie put up
arms, and clasped them around his neck.
She kissed him softly and then sank back
upon her pillow.
" Good by, papa," she said faintly—
She turned to her mother with a smile,
and reached out her hand to her; but it
sank powerlees to the bed, and the little
girl lay very still, with the smile still on
her face. The Master bad called her
up higher.
Mr. Daqis was a changed man after
her death. He was as careful as ever
for his [children, but he was stern with
them no longer, and they were all the
happier for it. When he felt templed
to reprove them sharply for anything, he
seemed to see the wan face of little An
nie before him, and to hear her words,
"When I am gone don't scold them."—
And he could only turn away with a bit
ter pang in his hart.
The house rang again with the reck
less, hearty merriment of the children,
but oftentimes the father would turn from
it with pain, for he missed the voice of
his lost darling.
People wondered at the change in him.
No one but his wife understood it, for it
was a subject of which he never spoke.
It almost consoled her for little Annie's
loss; and in the end their bereavement
was their gain, for it brought to them
greater and more perfect happiness than
they had ever known before.
