THE LAW OF KINDNESS.
Or, The Old Woman's Railway Sigmal.
The moat effective working force in the
world in which we live, is th e law of kind.
ness—for it is the only moral force that:np.
erates with the same effect upon niaukind,
beastkind and birdkind. From time imme
morial, music has wonderfully affected all
beings, reasoning and uureasonang, they have
ears to hear. The pretiest idea and simile
of an ancient relate to Orphue playieg 1.118
lyre to animals listening in intoxicated si—
lence to its strains. Well, kindness is the
spontaneous music of good will. to men and
beasts: and both listen to it with their hearts
instead of their ears; and the hearts of both
are affected by it in the same way, if not in
the same degree. Volumes might bo written
filled with beautiful illustrations of its effects
upon both. The music of kindness has not
only- the power to charm, but to transform
both the savage heart et man and beast, and
on this harp the smallest fingers in the world
may play heaveu'e sweetest tunes on earth.
Some time 'ago we read of an incident that
will serve as an illustration of this beautiful
law. it was substantially to this effect : A
poor, coarse featured old woman lived on the
line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway, where
it passes through a wild, unpeopled district
of Western Virginia. She was a widow, with
only one daughter, living with her in a log
hut, near a•deep, precipitous gorge, cross ed
by a railroad bridge. Here they contrived
'to support theMselves by raising and selling
poultry und'eggs, adding berries in their
season, and other little articles for the mor•
ket.. She had to make along, weary walk of
many miles to• a town where she could sell
her basket el produce. The railway poised
by the cabin to this town; but the rido . would
cost too much of the profits' of her small
sales, tio she trudged on generally to the mar
ket on foot. The conductor came finally to.
notice her walking by the side of the hoe or
between the rails, and ; being a good natured
benevolent min, he would often give her a
ride to and fro without charge. The engine
- men were also good to the old woman * and
felt that, they' were not wronging the inter.
este et , the railway • tampon, is giving her
these Frei fides. And soon an aecidest no--
carted that lapsed. that they were quite right
in this view of the , matter.
• In the wild month. of March, the reit! de.
Seceded sod the mountains sent down their
rolling, roaring torrents of melted scow and.
ice into this gorge near the ebLwomatee but.

they had fired the well dried combustibles.
The pile blazed up into the night, throwing
its red,swaling, booming light ri — long way up

to ware, and she eould not revive it with

Position in Sleeping.
It is better to sleep on the right side, for
then the stomach is very much in the posi
tion of a bottle turned upside down, and the
coo tents of it are aided in passing out by
gravitation., If one goes to sleep on the left'
side the operation of emptying the stomach
of its contents is more like drawing water
from a well. After going to sleep, let the
body take its owe. position. If you Bleep on
your back, especially soon after a hearty
uteal, the weight of the digestive organs and
that of the food, resting on the great vein of
the body, near the backbone, compresses it,
and arrests the flow of the blood more or less.
It' the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed,
and there are unpleaaan dreams. If the meal
has been recent and hearty,the arrest is more
decided, and the various sensation—such as
falling over a precipice, or the pursuit of a
wild beast,or other pursuit of danger,snd the
desperate effort to gerrid of it—arouse is,
and send on the stagnating blood; and we
wake in a fright, or trembling, or in perspi
ration, or feeling exhaustion according to the
deeree of at .:nation. and the length and
strength of the efforts made to overcome the
danger. But when we aro enable to escape
the danger—when we do fall over the prem.
pica; when the tumbling building crushes
us—what then?—'That is the death of those
whom it is said, when found lifeless in the
morning.:.-That they were as well as ever
the day before;' and often it is added, 'and
were heartier than eonson!' This laet,as a fre
quent cause of death to those who have gone
to bed to wake no more, we give merely as a
private opinion. The possibility of its truth
is enough to deter any rational man aom
late Mid hearty meal.,This we do know with
certainty, that waking up in the night with
painful diarrhoea, or cholera, or bilious colic,
ending iedeath in a vary short time,
is prob
ably traceable 'to a late large meal.. The tru
ly wise will take the safe aide. For persons
to , eat three times a day, it is amply sufficient
to make the last meal of cold broad and but

A well known clergyman was erossing
Lake Erie some years ago upon one of the
lake steamers, and seeing a small lad at the
wheel steering the vessel, accosted him as
follows: •
'My son you seem to be a small boy to steer

'Yes,sir,'' was the reply, 'but you see 1

'do you thin.
'Yee, air, I think I do'
'Can you box the empties?
•Let ase bear you do it?
The boy did as he was requested, when
I , e minister sal..

'Yes,

' The boy did again as requested, when tba
mioister remarked :
'I declare, my eon; you seem to • under:
stand your business.'
. The boy then took his turn at question
asking, beginning :
'Pray, sir, what might be your business?'
ant a minister of the tkoepel.!
'Do you understand your business ?'
think I do, my eon.
'Can you say the Lord's prayer ?'
'Yes.
'say it.'
The clergyman did so, repeating the words
in a very fervent manner, as though trying
to make an impreosioa on the lad.
-- 'Well, really,' said the boy, upon its con•
elusion; 'you do know it, don't you. Now,
say it backward.
'Oh, 1 can't do such a thing as that. Of
course—'
'You can't do it, eb ?' returned the boy.
'Well, ihoo, you see I understand my bust.

OYSTERS IN THE SHELL FOR 110ESEEL-
A Baptist minister of dooidedly original
character, on oue of his, tours in the dead of
winter, drove up to a country tavern, where
refreshicouts for man or beast were kept,
about the middle of the day.
The weather was Wens'' , sold, and a;blas•
Mg fire place, but it was completely sur-
rounded by a company of town loafers, who
showed no disposition to make room for, the
half frozen man who had just entered.
The minister stood a moment and looked
around, se as to:take the situation. then Rim-
Mg to the tavern keeper, says. '
Laniard, I want. you to put my :horse
in the stable , and give him a half a peek of.
oysters in the shell.
'Oysters in the ehellV, asked the astonish..
ad 14nlotd.
'Yes air, oysters in the shell:,
'But he wont eat them said the laaldord still
hesitating.
'Yon give them to him- and see, replied
the minister. . ,
The landlord started to obey the
,straoge
order, and all the loafers in the room follow
ed bite to see the result of the experiment
of feeding a horse on oysters in the qbell.
Meanwhile the minister quietly , seateC him
self by'the fire and began •warming him
self.
After about fire minutes the tevaiii keep=
er returned, 'saying. •
'Your horse won't eat them - I ' kne*.:.be

Readers generally know the hot that Ben
jamin Franklin left by will a few pounds of
money for the benefit of the 'young married
artificers,' or skilled mechanics, of Boston.—
The money has been carefully invested and
reinvested by the authorities, until new it
amounts to more than $150,004. The 'young
married artificers,' however, have neves nal
ized anything from it; but now it is propos
ed, since the fund has become large enough
to be made available in helping the oleos
Franklin wished to benefit, to wry out the
purpose announced in the will as far as
'practicable; and with this end in view, the
intention is to lend. money in small sums to
persons of moderate means, to enable ,them
to scours neat and comfottable homes in the
vicinity of the city of Bostod.
