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.
