ENE
THE TWO TOMS
" Torn , here "'I said a father to his
boy, speaking: in tone, of authority.—
The lad was at play. He looked to
ward's his father, but did not lealle his
companions. "
Do you -hear me,• sir?" spoke the
father, more.sternly than atilt*. With
au unhappy face and reluctant step the
boy left his Oily and approached his
Parent. -'
"Why drs you creep along - at a snail's

The boy took the, note.; there .was a
cloud, upon his brow. He moved on
ward,: but at a go* pace.

R olds hadliftl6 effet 4 t. The boy'S feel

the parent ;, -he experienced a sense of
injustice, conciousness that wrong had
been done hiw. By nature he was like
his 'father, 'proud and stubborn ; and
' these qualities of his min clWere aroused,
and he indulged in them, fearless of
consequences.:
n I never saw such a boy," said the
father, speaking to a friend who had
observed - the occurrence. ''' My words
scarcely make an impression on him."
" Kind-words often prove most power-.
ful," said the friend. The father looked
surprised. `• _Kind words," _continued
the frieud, "are like the gentle rain
.and the refreshing dews ; but harsh
words bend and break like the angry
tempest.- They first - develop and
strengthen good, affections, while the

'prove a hundred fold more powerful.".
The parent seemed hurt by the re
proof, but it left him. thoughtful. , Au
hour gassed sway ere his boy returned. '
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. And 4N - ell wile tio sat
musing over the incident, the Loy came
back with a cheerful, happy face, and
said: "Can I do anything else for :you,
father?" -
Yes, there is a power in kindness.—
The, tempest of pas.4ion can only sub
due, constrain and break ; but in love
and gentleness there is the power of the
summer rain, the dew, and - the sun
shine.

him if necessary."
- you seem to think, sir, it is a great
privilege to whip your boy. It strikes
me that that is asking a great deal of a
young lady, and that such little jobs.a.s
as those you ought to do yourself. 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. I gave a pre
scription which I thought suited exact
ly to Toni's case, and which I havenev
er known to fail ; and as it works with
boys of the Tom Skinner stripe as
charmingly-a 4 Rarey's does with wild
horses,
I give it for the benefit of , all
parents and school committees, thus
fake Torn out of school foone week ;
don't leave him any leisure 'Wherein to

him work at your side from morning

may reasonably expect all the bad
spirits have worked out of him at the
rateof one per day.• Then let him go
back to school, and if the evil possession
again, repeat the exorcism till it

Tom-is now under this gegimen. It
works beautifully, and I. am persuaded
'we shall have a new and hetter edition
both of Tom at school and of Tom on a
farm. •
TWO IN BED.—Ned and• Charley are
two room-mates, but they occupy dif
ferent beds. 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

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.'
