Eat the hopes of yonth fall thick in ihe blast.
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, ad heart, and cease repining ,
Behind theeloadsis the fan stiil shining ;
Thy fate i the common fate of all,
Iota each life some rain matt fall.
Some da must be dark and dreary.
The Younj Witness.
A little girl, nine year of age, wa3 a wit
nosi against a prisoucr, who was on a trial
for a crime coniiuitted in her father's house.
"Now, Emily," said the counsel fir the
prisoner, npon her being put in the witness
box, ''I desire to know if ycu understand
the nature of an oath."
"I Jou't Lnow what you mean," was the
simple answer.
'"There, your Ilonor," said the counsel,
addressing the court, "is there anything
further necessary to f-how the force of my
tieetion ? This witness should he rejected.
You see she does not know the nature of
an oath."
'Let us see," said the Judge. "Come
lerc, my little girL "
Assured Ly the kind tone and manner of
the juJge, the child Mepred toward hiui
and looked up confidingly in his face, with
a calm, clear eye, and in a manner so art
less and irank that it went straight to the
heart.
"Did you ever take an oath ?'" inquired
the Judge. The liulu girl stepped bark
with a louk of horror, and the Llood man
tied in a blush ail over her face and neck as
the answered
' No, sir."
She thought he meant to inquire if she
VJ ever blasphemed.
"I d) not wean that," said he, when he
jaw LLs ii.-ta.ke. "I mean, were you ever
a nitutss before?"
'"No, sir; I was never in a court before,"
sbean.-wurcd.
He handed her the Bible open.
"lo you know that book ?"
t"he looked at it and answered, "ye3i s'r;
it's the Bible."
''Do you ever read the Bible?" asked
the Judge.
"Yes, sir; every evening."
"Can you tell me what the Bible is?"
inquired he.
"It is the word of the great CloJ ?" -lie
an-wered.
'"Well, place your hand upon this Bible,
anj listen to what I say ;" and he repeated
tiowiy and solemnly the oath Usually given
to witnesses.
"Now," said he, "you hard sworn as a
witness. Will you tell me what will befall
yuu if you do not tell the truth?"
'1 shall be shut up in prison," answered
fche.
"Is there anything else," asked the
Judj;e.
"les, sir; I shall never go to heaven,"
she replied.
"How do you know this?" asked the
Judge a.:n.
The child took the Iitle,and turning rap
ili) to the chapter containing the coiuman J
tt.ei.is, pointed to this one ;'Thou shait
noiUrariiiisewitnessaiiainst thy neighbour.'"
'I itrra.l that before I could real."

AN IMPATIENT MOTHEE.
Two children, a boy and girl, were playing
happily together, and had been playing in
the most perfect harmony for over an hour.
The pleasure of one seemed to bo the pleas
ure of the other. If Amy suggested some
new amusement, John asreed io cheerful
good humor; and it was the same with Amy
if her brother proposed any change in their
sports or employments.
"Let us play with paperdolls," said Amy
at last growing weary over the toy houses
which they had been building.
John was ready for paper dolls.or anything
else his little companion might propose. So
Amy brought from the closet her box of
painted dresses, and the two children sat
down upon the floor to arrange and fif them
tothe figures of men anl women that were
also contained in the box.
"Oh, dear!" said Amy, affecting a tone
of annoyance, "all my Flora's dresses are
out of fashion. She must have one of the
new talmas before she can go walking again.
Won't you paint a new dress and cloak for
her, if I cut them out?"
Nothing could have pleised John, at this
time, better than this proposal. He went
singing off up stairs for his paint box, while
Amy tripped away in the happiest mood
possible, to her mother's room, and com
menced turning over the things in her work
basket.
"What do you want there?" the mother
spoke in auick, angry tones.
Amy started and drew back a step or two
from the basket, her face flushing, aud a
cloud darkening the pure brow on which the
sunshine rested onl a moment be'ore.
"I want the scissors," answered the child.
"Well, you can't have them, so go away
with jou."
"1 want to cut some new dresses for my
Flora," urged the child again approaching
the basket and diving her hand in among
the labyrinth of spools, tape, muslin and
cord which it contained. A sudden change
had come over her feelings ; and in her child
ish persistence, she meant to obtain the ar
ticle desired.
"Didn't I tell yon that you couldn't have
them?" still further losing her temper, and
at the Fame time, catching Amy by the arm
and jeiking her with considerable force from
the basket.
The child did not complain. She was not
one of the kind that made loud outcries every
time their wishes are thwarted. Yet; she
did not feel this utikinduess of her mother
aiiy less. It fell like a shadow "upon " tier"
young spirit, and dimmed, for a time, all its
brightness.
When Amy returned to the room in which
only a few moments before, she lad parted
with her brother, her mood of mind was en
tirely changed. He was already theie with
his box of paints, and sheet of white paper,
from which to cut the new dresses for Flora.
"Did you get the scissors?" he asked.
"No," answered Amy, pouting her lips,
and looking very unamiablc.
"Why?"
"Mother wouldn't give them to me."
John looked disappointed. lie stood for
a little while looking row at the paint box
and sheet of white paper in Lis hands, and
now at the altered face of his sister with
whom lie had been playing so sweetly for an
hour.
"Never mind," he said at length, in a com
forting voice. Flora will have to wait lor
her new cloak. She must wear ofle of her
old dresses to d.iy. Here is a hansomeone."
And stooping to the box on the floor, lie
lifted therefrom a green plaid walking dress.
"Flora will look handsome en jugh in this,"
said he, in a cheerful voice.
"I don't want to play at paper dolls."
Amy looked stiil more unlovely. The frown
on her brow was heavier.sind her lips point
ed to a degree that sadly marred the childish
features.
John's face now became tronlled. The
current of his f'eeling.wliich had been glid
ing so smoothly, with the sunshine on its
brca-t, commenced rippling over stony ob
structions. He sat dowu upon the floor and
in a listless kind of way commenced turning
over the figures of dresses. Presently he
took up a bonnet, and began' bending the
front ot it backwards, though not iu a man
ner to injure or disfigure it.
"Don't do that," said Amy,curtly, "you'll
ppoil the bonnet." And she came quickly
forward, and reached out her hand to take
the small piece of printed cardboard from
her brother. John, instead of giving it up
in a kind way, was offended at his sister's
manner, and thrust the bonnet behind him
out of her reach.
"tlive it to me, John !" The child's red
dening face marked her quickly rising anger.
But John did not yield. He still kept the
bonnet beyond her grasp.
"I'll tell mother if yon don't give me my
doll's bonnet !" cried Amy with increasing
ill nature.
"Tell her. I don't care !" said the boy.
"Give me the bonnet?"
"I won't until I please."
"Mother !" Amy turned to the door cry
ing out in an imperative voice,"John won't
give me my doll's bonnet."
"John !" the mother called him sharply.
"I'm not hurting the bonnet," answered
John.
"Yes, he is, mother. lie's bending it all
up and spoiling it."
"It's no such thing mother!" responded
John.
"John!" called the mother sternly.
"Ma'am ?"
"Give Amy her doll's bonnet this instant."
"There ! Take the bonnet you mean, self
ish thing," and John threw the bonnet on
the floor.
"Mother ! He won't give it to me." call
ed out the now thoroughly exasperated little
girl, as ihe saw the bonnet tossed upon the
floor.
At this moment the mother threw from
her hands the work upon which she was en
gaged, and starting up in a passion, came
with a quick step and resolute air, into the
room where her children are in dispute.
"Didn't I tell you to give your sister her
doll s bonnet?" she exclaimed, seizing the
now frightened little boy by the arm. and
holding him with a tight grip. "Say.didn't
I teilyou to? what doyou mean bysueh con
duct ?" And without waiting tor an expla
nation she struck him one or two ilows.
"I did give it to her," said John, as soin
as he could find his voice. "There it is, ly
ing at her iect now."
"You didn't give it to rue. You only
threw it at me," was indignantly answered
by Amy.
The mother saw that Amy had partly de
ceived her, and that she had been too quick
to punish.
"You are a naughty story-telling girl!"
she saiu, turning with a new indignation to
wards Amy and raising her hand to punish,
her also. But something in the aspect of
the child stayed the uplifted hand, and the
smarting strokes fell not upon the frighten
ed culprit.
"Naughty children!" she said, as she re
gniued a little self possession. "Naughty
children, to be always quarreling with one
another. I'm surprised and ashamed ot
you ! What will your father think when he
hears of this? How will he fttl when he
learns that his little boy and girl have been
angry with one another? It makes me sick
and sad to think that my children should
act so wickedly J"
Very little of a right impression did the
mother's censure make upon the minds of
her unhappy children, the sunshine of whose
pi a-ant day her own darkening avger had
clouded. They stood with partly averted
faces; silent, moody, and with unkindness
in their hearts. Their apparent want of
penitence fretted their weak mother's mind.
She looked for, or at least required, an obe
dient yielding on their part. She expected
them to "kiss and be friends again," at her
word, as if love and kindness were vassals
that came and went at anothers bidding.
But she ciuld not command the sun of love
to shine, nor scatter with tli3 breath of her
lips, the shadows that were around their
spirits.
"I must separate you !" she said at last,
"wTtTi a sternness-61 voice "an J manner that
showed more of angry indignation than love.
"Amy, do you go over into my room and
stay ther3 alone, until I call you ; and you,
John, go off to the garret, and don't let me
se? your face until your father comes home.
I shall tell him of all this."
As if any place would be more agreeable
than that in which their mother's presence
smote them, the two children at this com
mand went quickly away; Amy into her
mother's room, and John into the lonely
garret. Both, the instant they were entire
ly alone, abandoned themselves to tears
Amy sobbing to herself as if her little heart
would break, and John standing still in the
centre of the garret floor,with scalding drops
upon his burning cheeks. To the boy there
was a cruel mystery in the sudden change
towards him which Lis sister Lad manifest
ed, lie understood that her mother had re
fused to lot her have a pair of scissors to cut
out dresses for her paper uoi's, and he could
understand how this would fret her mind ;
but lie was too young and unskilled in the
phiiosopl y of mental transitions to compre
hend how the disappointment should have
wrought in her so great a change of fee'iris
towards himself, and caused her to act with
selfish unkindness.
If John's mother had not punished him,
he could have forgiven Amy. But the blows,
though felt only for a moment by his shrink
ing body, still smarted on his spirit as pain
fully as when they were given iu sudden an
ger. In a little while the boy's tears ceased
to flow. Sitting down on an old chest, and
in the shadow of an unhappy mood, he
brooded in loneliness and sorrow over the
early mystery of iife, and learned one of his
first lessons of hate towards those by whom
he felt that he had been wronged. An evil
s-.H'd had been sown in the earth of his
young heart, and, already, its latent princi
ple of life was moving with vital force.
"I'll look up all my picture books," he
said to himself spitefully. "Amy shan't
look into one of them again as long as she
lives. I won't play with her any more, nor
paint ano-hcr doll's dress for her. I'll throw
her kitten from the window, and let the ca
nary out of the cage and I'll burn every
one of her playthings that I can put my
hands vn.'1
Now, though John never executed any of
these dread Iu! threats against his little sister,
he was really in earnest when he made them,
so full of bad feeling was Lis heart. And
though on that very' day Le passed hours
with her in sport, he did not feel right to
wards her, and was not so willing to yield
his wishes for her pleasure as he had been
in times past.
As for Amy. poor child ! She was wretch
ed enough, alone in her mother's room, when
but for her mother's angry refusal to let her
have a pair of scissors, she might still have
been playing happily with her brother, who
had been separated from her.and sent away
up into the garret, where she was afraid to
stay all by herself even for a single moment
An hour after the mother had punished her
children, she laid a-ide her work, and went
over into her chamber to see what Amy was
doing.
"Into some mischief, I'll wairant!" she
said to hecself.as she thought how very qui
et the child had been. But she found her
asleep on the floor, wi'Ti the tearsyet undried
on her cheeks. " A sudden tenderness came
over her feelings, and' lifting the beautiful
sleeper in her arms, she laid her upon the
bed, and smoothing b&k the raoist hair on
her forehead, stood and looked forsome mo
ments into her still sad face.' She "sighed
heavily as the mother's love came gushing
back into her heart, and bending' down to
the little one kissed her tenderly. ' '
Then a thought of JoLrr caused her to
turn from the bedside and go outin the pas
sage, and up to the third story of thehone.
Standing at ihi Gt of the garret sfairs.she
called him in a suppressed voice. No an
swer came. She waited for a few moments,
and then called once more. But only the
echo of lier voica car.ie down to her listen
ing ears. A few Lurried stps brought her
into the room, up to which she had banished !
her offending son. He, too, was a-leep, ly- i
ing on the old chest where he. had a: first i
seated himself. His head was resting upon
the Lard wood, and the position ol his body j
was,in all respects a most uncomfortable one.
"John !" she laid her hand upon him.
The boy started up with a terrified air.
He had been dreaming of his sister they
had quarreled in the dream, and he had struck
her a heavy blow on the head with a pieci
of iron, and seen her fall bleeding r?pn the
floor. At this moment the voice of Li
mother had awakened him.
"Oh, mo'her. I didn't mean to do it!"
hi cried out, looking feaifully around him.
"Do what, my child ?" was asked in a
soothing voice. ; . .
Vor a moment or two John continued to
glance around him in a bewildered manner,
and then said as he leaned his head upon bis
mother an 1 Ltiril iuto teat's, "It was only a
dream." -
Tenderly his mother drew her arm around
him. as she said in a toneof gentle admonition,
"Naughty feelings Iring naughty dreams."
Ah, if she could Lave known that for this
"naughty dream" ihe was responsible, and
not the child, it might have been better for
that child, and for all her childrca in the
great fuluro of tLeir lives.
Mothers, be patient with your children.
Wrong them not by sudden anger. If they
are went to be nngry with one another, to
qnarrel in their plays, to have the sunshine
of good humor suddenly fade, look close to
yourselves, ai d see if the cause thereof does
not lie mainly at your own doors. Of one
thing you may be very sure; impatient
mothers will have" impatient, wrangling, un-
The law of cause and effect is as immuta
ble in this, as in all other cases. So we beg
of you for the sake of your precious child
red, to receive this lesson into your hearts.
