5 A Kiss for a Blow.

The following IS beautiful incident,
illustrating the happy effects Of "a kiss
for blow How pleasant it would be TO
see children always thus return love for
anger.
One day a minister went into an infant,
scheol in Boston. lie had been there be-
fore, and had told the children they might
ask him any question that they pleased ],
whenever he came to see them.
"Please 10 tell u.s." said little boy
"what is meant by overcoming euil Acith
good?'' The minister began to explain
il, when little incident occurred which
gave him a striking illustration.
| - A boy, about seven. years Of age, was
sitting beside his little sister. who was only
ak years old As the minister was talk
ling, George, for that was the boys name
got angry with his sister about som ething
doubled up his fist, and struck her ON the
head.
The little girl was just going to strike
him back again, when the teacher seeing
ii, said, my dear Mary, you had bette
kiss your brother. See how angry ant
unhappy he looks!"
Mary looked at her brother. He look
ed sullen and wretched. Her resentmen
was soon gone, and love for her broihe
lreiurned to her heart. She threw botl
4 her arms about his neck and kissed him
The poor boy was wholly unpreparet
Tor such kind return for his blow n,
could not stand before the generous affec
iion Of his sister. His feelings were touch
, ed. and he burst out crying.
Il HIS gentle sister took the corner OF he
apron. and wiped away his tears, an,
sought TO comfort him by saying, viii
endearing sweetness aud generous sfieo

ton, Don't cry. George; you did not
hurt me much" But he only wept the
more. No wonder; it was enough to
make any body weep.
But why did George weep? Poor lille
fellow! Would he have weptif his sister
had struck him as he had struck her? Not
he. But by kissing him>as she did, she
made him feel more acutely than if she
had beaten him black and blue. ss

what was meant by "orercoming eril aoith
