ITERTiitiR A CHILD'S HEART.
B. ARTHUR
" don't expect ariythmg of my ohi
drop 1" -
• The tone.was fretful,
.with a inality of ac
cusation. ' The face of the speaker wore an
injured look.
A boy' between fourteen and -fifteen years
of age, sat reading. He moved uneasily, as
if pain had disturbed hint but he - did not
lift his eyes from the page on which - they
were resting.
" The harder a mother slaves for her chil
dren the less they care for her."
The boy Moved again ; almost with a
start, as though the pain felt an instant be
forelad yuddenly increased.
‘iA-14-4.hildren are thankless 'So the
speaker kept on, talking to a friend; yet
really thrusting at the boy.
"Not all," answered thefriend. "I have
a mother and I know my - heart in regard
to her. It is full of love and gratitude,` and
reannot remember-41!t,ime when it )(vas
not so."
"'There are exceptions to all rules; And:
besides • there are few women like. yok
mother. iThat would be a cold heart, in
deed, into which she did notehtspire love."
" Love begets love. ,'hat, is the old trite
story ; and as true to-day as it was a thou
sand years , ago. If children -grow up
cold:and thankless towards their ,parents—
if they early seperate frour them, going off
into the world, and treating them with neg
lect, the fault, in most cases, rests with the
TwOhts - : They did not ,make. themselves
lovely in their children's eyes."
There followed this .a dead sileiree for
some minutes. The boy-had let his book
fill from before his eyes, and was listening
intently. His moth•er saw this, and - had a
--Tltclt- F s-rcs-prlon or whatwas passing in his
mind:
"Edward" said she, "I don't like boys in
my bedroom. Go down stairs." , This was
not spoken,' harshly. The mother's tone of
voice had changed considerably.
The boy arose without hesitation and left
thel'oona`
"I don't think it's always goOd to talk
before children," remarked the lad's moth'er
as soon as he had retired.
"A proper regard to our language and
conduct. before children," was , answered,
"is a theory of the-gravest consideration.
They have keen instincts—their eyes are
sharp—they read us; and know us sometimes
better than we know ourselves."
"They are sharp -enough, I suppose; but
not quite so sharp_aS all that," was answered.
" I'm not one of those that make Children of
much importance."
"Oar estimation' in the case will not alter
the result, my friend. Of that we may be
certain. As we are to our children so will
they *- -be to us. Love begets love, and kind
ness good will. If we do not hurt' them
wantonly, they will not, in turn, wound us
by neglect."
"'Hurt them wantonly lam sure that I
get .your meaning." .
"Are you much surprised that Tom' Bald
win made his escape from home at the first
good opportunity " •
"Well, I 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
has done for him. But, as I said a little while
ago, all children are thankless. I dOn't cal
culate anything, from mine. They'll grow up,
and scatter theniselves east and west; getting
• off as far from home as possible,,andi'll pro-,
bably be left to an asylum in the poor-house
when I get old and helpless." •
-", - You talk in that-way before your chil
dren-?" said the friend.
'"They know my sentiments."
"So I inferred. In that way you Imrt them.
You put their 'future on trial, and write out a
verdict of condemnation, when it is impoSsi
hie for their/ to vindicate theruselees •against
yon cruel charps,' I saw your 'boy stand
andwrithe a little while ago, under. your.
sharp thrusts at him. He Vas' no party to
Tom naldwin's unfilial act ; and it was a hard
thing in you, my friend, to make Toin's de
linquency the - occasion for smiting your own
son„whOna you may bind to you, if, you will,
&pie cords of love, not to be broken ; or
push away to a distance, where be can feel'
'-no Warmth or no attraction. Take care!
Yolitire on dangerous ground."
"Oh, you make too much of children," was
answered, but with a little obstruction .in
manner.
_ .
"They are simply Inman beings. They
have sensitive souls, quick to receive impres
sions. Tender to love, but hard or resentful
toward all unkindness:..' They are creatures
of feelino• b rather than thought, not generally
~'t
holding malice butrarely losing the memory
of pain from nj infliction. In after years
this memory *, often- revived. It is my
opinion that in a large numbeiof cases; where'
children neglect their parents in old age 6 / 6
cause lies just here.'
"All of 'which is simply yindictive,"•saict
the lad's mother, " and a pocir compliment to,
human nature." - .
"Human nature doesn't often suffer unjtist=
ly flitotth hard judgment,fr 'Was dr/mewed. -
" But I am not offering - err igiology.for
short-domings; only look after the cause. ,To
prevent is better then to cure. Forewarned,
forearmed. Is it net Mu& the.wiser course
for, us to make sure of our children's loVe in
future by offering' them love hi the present !"
" You speak as thouthoughl didn't love my
children." A dark stain marked the woman's
cheeki. There• 'were sudden
,flashes id her
eyes. She was a woman.of quick temper. '
"Every feeling
,has its sign," was calmly
replied. "Love, anger, • dislike—each ex
presses itself in a different way. And these'
signs every one knows. Eventhe babe of one
brief summer mayread them. Why is it that
Edward feels that you do not love him?" '
' "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. Yon, if you, tallz. to
me any longer in this Strain." = -
" No, my dear friend, you must not get
angry with me. Too manysweet memories
of the past are shared betweefius. Bear with
me, now, as ma who ho de you in her heart.
Shall I relate to you an incident that occurred
in my house only yesterday ? It is under the
warrant of this incident, that I have ven
tured on the plainness of speech - which has
disturbed you."
The red spots faded , off from.the mother's
cheeks. The keenlight went out of her 'eyes.
"Go on," she said, her voice dropping
down from its sharp key. ,
."Edward had called to see the children.
We always like,to have him come. He is
never rude; nor' coarse in his manners, but
gentlemanly in bearing beyond what is usu
tiny seen in lads of his• age. I have nibre
than once,. compared him with my eldest
son, and wished that John resembled him in
many things. The two -toys were in
parlor 'alone. John, I am sorry to say, is
not always to be trusted. .He is over curi
ous, and apt to meddle' with -things that
should be sacred from his touch. 7 . Recently
he has become interested in insects, and has
begun to collect and preserve them.
There was as vase of wax flowers on the
parlor mantel-piece, the ingeneous maker of
which had placed several imitations of moths
and beetles among the leaves. The vasOtras
covered, - with glass. John's new fornAtliAn
terest in entomology had given a special) at
-traction to these wax moths and beetles,:-.Rand
on thisloccasion he went so far as to lift 'the
glass covering, that he might obtain-is elbser
view. fln venturing to do this, one of those
accidents that so frequently happerNwith,
childrim and grown -.people when 1,44 y• are
not doing just right, occurred. TO. glass
shield'slipped from John's hand, and- racked
to pieces on the floor. The noise startled
and ekeited me.—l went hastily to the par:
for and saw at a glance the daipaffe which
had been done, and, also comprthended the
cause of the disaster. Edward • looked pale
and .frightened; John flushed and grieved.
Repentance and self condemnation had come
with accident. Even through my indigna
tion'`which could not be stayed, I salt' 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 ofrea
son.
H. W. 1'
I stood, for a few moments, looking at the
shivered glass, and then, without trusting
my lips to say anything, went out. for the
dustpan and brush. I was glad that I had
controlled myself. It is my experience that
scolding always does harm; and even where
it works correction of bad habits, I am cer
tain that a different Fay _would have been
better. I was quite -self-possessed when I
returned. As 1 stooped to gather up the
broken fragments of glass, john came up
close to me. I did not speak to, nor_look at,
him. Edward had drawn back to a distant
part of the room. Silently the work of col
lecting the' pieces of glass went on, John
standing near me all the while. It was thine,
and I was about rising, When I felt his arm
across my shoulder. "I'm so sorry," he
said in a penitent voice, laying his facedown
against mine, which I had turned towards
-him. "It was wrong to touch it I know ;
but I thought 1 would be so careful.. I can't
tall what made it slip out of my hand."
"Accidents are almost sure to happen with
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 ease, mother," he answered,
in a spirit of manly justice that was grateful
to my cars. "If - this little experiegce will
make you more careful about doing right."
I returned, "hone of us will very deeply re
gret the accident." He put his arms around
my neck, and kissed me. I kissed :him in
return, and then went out, thanking God in
my heart, that ho had helped me to self con
trol in a moment of trial, when passion would
have hurt' my - boy. • •
Not long afferwards , I heard the boys
talking tog;thero . Edward said, "if it had
been my mother, she would have, scolded at
me, until I was mad enough to break every
thing in the house. Why did'iat your moth
er scold you ?" "Because she loves me, and
knows that scolding wouldn't make me half
so sorry as I am." " I wish. that my moth
er loved rne,". said Edward,. in a tone of
voice so sad and longing 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 coirseyour mother loves you," an
swered John.. $o the friend continued.
But Edward said,' "No I'm sure she doesn't
love me." "Why do voirsay that ?" ques-)
Moiled 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 anything , for
her."
There was silence for some tithe. 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 I ath; how often I fall short
how often passion gets the better of reason ;
how near ft, was to bearing me down yester
day. It was in His strength that I overcame
and helped my boy instead of hurting him.
In Ris strength you may overcome also, and
win the love of a child whose heart - is athirst
for your love, as is the drooping flower athirst
for the dew and rain."
The mother of Edward bowed her face in
to her hands. For a little while, her body
shook with half choked sobs. Then she
looked up at her friend. Her eyes were wet
her face pale, - her lips curved with pain and
grief.
"You are not hurt with me?"
"N0,. -- no," she answered. "Not with, you,
but with myself. What have, I.been doing?
What madness has possessed niel, I know
that love begets love—that in Mrs. Howitt's
beautifid words, it has readier will than fear.
know, also, that hardness begets hardness;
that driving is more difficult and far less cer
tain than leading. And yet, knowing all
this, I have sought to rule my children by
passion and force; to drive instead , of leading
them into the right ways. No,' no. I am
el ) e franktiu I.l4lpoiton, ,tiatubersburg, a.
not,hurt with you. For all this plain speak
ing, which Lso much needed, I thank you
from the depth- of my heart. If it is not
better with both - me and my children in fu
ture, it will not be your fault. But it shall
be better I"
And .it was better. How quickly all
changed under a new - order of home govern
ment. Love and kisidness found swift obe
dience 'where anger-and. harshness had met
obstruction. Sunshine dropped in through,
ahundred places, - which had been: closely
barred against its sweet influences; and Ed
ward. wondering at the pleasant change,
drew nearer and nearer to his . mother, and
felt that she loved him.
0, - love!sweet 'to all hearts.' Ye who"
should give of its treasures, see to'. it that"

has signs peculiarly its own, which are nev

SPEECH DE . DANIEL S. DICEEIN'SON.
The ladies of Binghampton have been pre- .
paring a flag fOr Mr. Montgomery of Vicks
burg, formerly editor of the Whig - in that
city, in honor of the spirit and .loyalty dis
played by his wife in refusing to permit the
rebel flag to be raised upon her house. For
this refusal she and het family were banished.
Her husband was arrested and sentenced to
be hanged for isici other alleged offence eicept
that of being p, Union man. He however
succeeded in escaping. He is now about to
return home to start an out-and.-out anti
slavery paper—having come-to believe that
slavery must be,extinguished in orderto close
this war.
A public meeting was held last week at
Binghampton for the presentation of, he,flag
—en elegant silk one—and Daniel S. Dick
inson presided. John Clam with an ap
:propriate speech, delivered the flag to Mr.
Montgomery ; who replied, giving his his
tory, his purpose and sentiments, and de
nouncing the infamous conduct of copper
heads. \
Mr. Diehinson was then called for, and de
livered one 'of his chasactezistic addresses
from which we' make`the following extracts
"TEE CONSERVA:TI \ VE MEETING." IN N. Y.
The recent conservative meeting in the

.and Indiana.
There are a thousand evidences =combining
to prove that these several movements had an

rather by those who helped' plan the whOle.
The ominous givingf'od which preceded'
them ; the foreign recognitio - A'thermometer in
England and France,- wherethe mercury rose
so speedily at this juncture and. simultaneous
ly—the confident and insolent tone of the
Confederate press—the mission of the rebel

ated and progressing, and its -malignity on
its failure—th mutterings of Lee in his in

and supported by his northern friends as he.
expected, and a whole cloud of witnessed be
sides, pro - es that the New York movement
Was a part'of,' and intended to be directly in
aid of the cause of rebellion. The draft was
a mere pretence, and had really no more to do
with stimutoting
,of lift s mob than
the - Quaker.meeting held in the nt,y a- few
weeks previous. The whole was originally a
device of some of the most wicked and unscru
pulous -and pestilenf politicians that ever in
fested society. The commencement of the
draft was, by preconcert, made -the occasion
for the outbreak, because it iVas supposed by
the managers 'of the affair that they could at
this time, and upon this occasion, better em
body their motley crew—better influence the
passions of the ignorant and prejudiced, and
better, turn ,to political account, and wield in
aid of the rebellion, a riot commenced in an
Ostensible resistance to the. draft than other
wise."
FT.TRPOSES OF TUE OUTBREAK
"The outbreak in NeW York originated
with politicians. acting upon and inflamin ,,
and encouraging the very worst elements
that ever distigurod society—thieves, ruffians
and cut throats ; ljawds, pimps and burglars;
house-breakers and murderers; assassins and
the settlings and skimmings' of loaferdom,
after the marketable lazzaroni had been sub
tracted. The contrivers 'and leaders. who
opened the box and turned loose these off
scourings, expected them to act politically—
igoretended furtherance of a great conserv
ative movement—to damn Lincoln and his'
administration"; to hurra for their FRIENDS;
to clamor for the constitution and laws—for
free speech and the wrongs of Vallandigham
and their southern brethren, while they, the
managers, - would fan this flame to madness,
and add thc true copperhead virus to the
popular fury by descanting upon the hard
ships and oppresSions of legal restraints,' un
til they might defy the power of the Govern
ment, and openly assist the rebellion."'
THIEVES AND ROBBERS WITH , THEIR.
FRIENDS. '
"The thieVes and robbers were willing to
act politically with the great conservative
party and advance the interests of their lea
ders and vindicate the constitution, after
they °had for a season looked to their own
interests and robbed and sacked stores and
houses, and carried home the spoil, BUT NOT
BEFoat —they had been accustomed, from a
supposed cruel necessity,. to steal and rob in
darkness and sedrecy, and they were not dis
posed to so far neglect their own material
interests as to let an occasion pass which
permitted them ,to steal in open day",, from
the choicest assortments, with Goveroors and
Judges standing by proclaiming theirtfriend
ship, merely to advance the political fortunes
of others or to support the Constitution.
House-breaking and. burning were necessary
to successful theft and robery, and hence
the votaries of burglary arid arson were pri
marily engaged in their respective avoca
tions. Theft first and politics after was their
motto."
CONSERVATIVES MURDERING CITIZENS AND
BUIt.NING AN ORPHAN ASYLUM.
"Those who have been tanght by their eon
servativs leaders that it would disgrace white
men if negroes were accepted as soldiers, and
taught, too, that it would be nniust and ag
gressive for white men to be diafted into the
service, sought to solve the problem by 'mur
dering every negro they = could end, old or
young, male or female; while others, deter
mined to give practical proofs of their 'con
servatism and of their devotion to the consti- -
ation and laws, burned and demolished an
orphan asylum, erected by the influences of
a holy _charity, and destroyql the houses of
homeless children."
THE - CARNIVAL OF THIEVES
"In short;
. this 'movement of the people'
Nies a 'house divided against itself,' and for
That reason it failed to stand. It was set on
foot by political leaders, priniarily to aid
their fortunes. and. to encourage the rebellion:
it was prosecuted by most of their, follbwers
to gather supplies for themselves, and the
material proved paramount over the political
interests; and hence, while it brought rich
rewards to its rank and 'file, it was a barren
victory to, the 'commanders-in-chief.' It
was a great success to all but -those who got
it up by two years' clamor against Govern
ment usurpation and apology for rebellion--
denouncing everything as unconstitutional
except Jeff. Davis' rebellion and copperhead
politics. ' It was the Carnival of thieves.,
GOVERIT.OR SEYMOUR -- SAXI,VG, ;MY TORE.

"Governor Seymour seems to have made

GOVERNOR SEYMOUR CRUCIiTING THE LAWS.
"Governor Seymour has not unfregontly
reminded the public that he had . taken an
oath of rare solemnity to execute the laws.
That oath he has now fulfilled, if, not before.
He has certainly 'executed the' laws= upOn
this occasion, for he has literally crucified
them betweenthietes. Although this mur
derous and thieving outbreak will not prove
available as Copperhead capital, the rebels,
with savage ferocity, already gloat over what
they term the 'blood soaked ashes' .of our
commercial metropolis, and France and Eng
land, anxious to aid the rebellion againstour
Government by all the means in their power
will probably •recogoise' the New-York mob
as a 'belligerent - power.' They can do so
with as much propriety as they recognised
the rebellion as such."
