' At tittles during his absence he was angry at the delay': but the words of remonstrance vrere - in his 'ears, and he resolved: to obey them At last the lad came slowly in, with a cloudy counte nance, and reported the result of his er rand. Having 'tayed far beyond' his time he looked for punishment, and was prepared to receive it with an an gry tictiauce. To his surprise after de livering: the, iner_•sage he . 110 brought, his father, instead or angry reproof and punishment, said kindly : " ery well, my son you can go.put to play again." Theboy went out, but was not happy. He had disobeyed and disobliged his father, and the thought of thi:sSroubled him. Harsh words had not clouded his mind nor aroused a spirit of reck less anger. Instead of joining his coin pan ions, he went and sat down by him self, grieved over his act of disobedience. While he thus sat he heard his Usme called. " Thomas; my son," said his father, kindly. The boy sprang to . his feet, and was soon beside his parent. " Did you call, father?" `' rdid, my son. Will you take this Package to Mr. Long for me ?" There was no hesitation in the . boy's manner; he looked much pleased at the thought of . doing his father a ser vice, and reached out his hand for the package. On receiving it he bonneted away with a light step. " There - is power in kindnesS," said the father, as die sat musing after, the lad's depaitgre.

Pa rents are bound to send 'their children to the sehool-room in such a condition that they will neither kick -nor bite; and if they neglect their duty they ought to forfeit their privileges.' Mr. Skinner went home with new views. But for Tom's sake I did not let the lilat ter rest there.

Ned's sleeping apparatus was so situated that he could get in on either side—that is to say, there were two foresides ; which Ned found very convenient. One night Ned and Charley had been out,'and on returning, which they did near morning, very considerably eleva ted, however, they walked to their room with an air that seemed-to say, "not so drunk after all," and sought long and patiently for matches and lamp. After knocking the pitcher off the wast6tand, and smashing the looking-glass, they finally gave up the search and went to bed. Went to bed—yes, that's the word— but, owinv; to the darkness and the con fusion-of their senses, they made aslight mistake. In short, Ned's bed had the honor of receiving the two friends— Charley getting in on one side, and his. friend rolling in on the other. " I say, Ned,'" Charley, touching somebody's calf, " there's a fellow in my bed." " Wonderful 'concidence,P exclaimed tied, feeling a strnge a elbow in the neighborhood of his ribs ;." there's one in my bed, too," Is there ?" cried Charley; let's kick' em out !" And accordingly the two frieVds be gan to kick. It lasted about a minute and a half, and Ned was sprawling on the floor. Charley was left in possession of the bed. For a moment all was si lent. `• I say, Ned," cried Charley. • • What 2" asked Ned, sulkily I've kicked my fellow out." "You are luckier than I am," said Ned, "fur my tell - ow his kicked me out." One of the editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser, alarmeil at the ihcrease of garroters in. that city, issues a notice to "highwaymen, garroters and other dis reputable persons," that he always car ries at night a ten-barrel revolver in his breast pocket, (warranted to go off, unless the robber does), a Spanish stiletto up his sleeve, and brass knuckles on his 'elf hand ; and that he wears a cast iron hat and has two steel spikes in the back of his coat collar. He is also fol lowed—at a considerable distance—by a large and very savage dog. THE SEPHEED AND HIS agEEP.—A man in India was accused of stealing a sheep. He was brought before the judge. and the supposed owner of the sheep was also present. Both claimed the sueep, and had witnesses to prove their claims; so it was not easy for thf judge to decide to which the sheep be longed. linowing the customs df the sher - herds, and the habits of the. sheep, the judge ordeied the sheep to he brought into court, and sent one of the two nie,, into another. room, while he told the other to call the sheep, and see if would come to him. But the poor-ani mal pot knowing the " voice of astran ger,!, would not go to him. In the mean time, the other man, who was in an adjoining room, growing impatient, and probably suspecting what was goin; on, gave a kind of "chuck," upon which the sheep bounded away towards him at once. This" " chuck' was the . Way in which he had been used to call his - sheep; and it was at once decided that be was the real owner. Thus we have - a beautiful illustration Of John x. 4, ,3-:r" And the sheep follow him : for they know his voice. And a I stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." LIVING Alai DYING.—Two men were once disputing about the color of their hair, in a tavern where Bruten was a guest. The locks of one, were gray and the other jet black although the latter was by much the eldest. Bnrten was appealed to to say which man he tho't would live the i dongest. " What non sense!" ael4Bruten; `'how can I tell? though I should say that the younger person, no doubt, will be 'gray as long as : he lives,' while the eldest man will be `black as long as he dies.' • In a town in Connecticut resides a matt who made- a _fortune in the milk busines4, by not giving the full measure as he grew rich he thought he _would change his occupation to something More re.spEctable, and accordingly bought a gyist mill.
