Paternal sympathy.

Parents express too little sympathy
for their children-the effect of this
is hmentable.
"How your children love you! /
would give the world to have my
children so devoted TO mel" said a
mother to one who did not regard the
time given to her children as so much
capital wasted. Parents err fatally
when they grudge the time necessary
for their children's amusement and in
struction; for no investment brings so
sure and so rich returns.
The child's love is holy, and il the
parent does not fix that love on him
self, he deserves to- lose it. AMI in af-
ter life to bewail his poverty Of heart.
The child's heart is full of love, and it
must gush out toward somebody or
something. If the parent is worthy
of it, and posscsse. it, he is bIest; and
tho child is safe. When the child
loves worthy persons. and receives
their sympathy. he j. less liable to be
influenced by the undeserVing; ior IN
his soul are models of excellence, with
which he compares Others.
Any parent can descend from his
chilling dignity and freely answer the
child's questions. talking familiarly
and tenderly with him; and when the
little one wishes hell the parent should
come out of his abstraction and cheer
fully help him. Then his mind will
return elastic to his speculations. and
it will act with force. All parents
can find few pinutes occasionally
during the day, to read little stories
to children, and to illustrate the re-
spec.ive tendencies of good and bad
feelings. They can talk to them about
flowers, birds. trees. about angels. aud
about God. They can show interest
in their sport. determining the charac-
ter Of them. What is surcr way
than this of binding the child to the
heart Of the parent? When You have
made friend Of child. you NAV
congratulate yourselfyou have friend
for life.-[ Life Illustrated.

! From III. Martineau's "Western Travel"
The first principle in the manage
ment of the guilty seems to me to be
TO treat them as men and women; which
they were before they were guilty, and
will be when they are no longer so, and
which they will be in the midst of it
all. Their humanity is the principal
thing about them; their guilt is a TEN.
porary state The insane are first men.
and secondarily diseased men; and in
due consideration of this order of
things lies the main secret of the sue
cessiul treatment of such.
The wonderfully successful friend of
criminals, Captain Pillsbury, of the
Weathersield prison. has worked on
this principle, and owes his success to
it. His moral power over the guilty
is so remarkable. that prison-brcakers
who can be confined nowhere else are
sent to him, to be charmed into stay
ing their term out. was told OF his
treatment of two such. One was gi-
gantic parsonage, the terror of the
country, who had plunged deeper and
deeper in crime for seventeen years.
Captain Piilsbury told him when he
came, that he hoped he would not re-
peat the attempts to escape which he
bad made elsewhere. lit will be BEST

confinement; but we never use it: and

turn the key upon any body in it.
You may range the place as freely as
| do, if You will trust me as | shall
trust you The man was sulky, and
for weeks showed only very gradual
symptoms of softcning under the ope
ration of Captain Pillsbury's cheerful
confidence. At length, information
was given to the Captain. of this mans
intention TO break prison. The Cap
tain called him. and taxed him with
it; the man preserved a gloomy silence.
He was told that it was now necessa-
ry for him to be locked up in the soli-
tary cell, and desired to follow the
Captain who went first, carrying
lamp in one hand and the key in the
other. In the narrowest part Of the
passage, the Captain (who is small.
light man, turned round and looked
in the face OF the stout criminal

DIR. Channing.s Preaching

The following description of the late
DIR. Charming, and of his preaching,
we take from the last number of Mr.
G.. w. Curtis's brilliant novel of
'Trumps.' in Harper's Weekly:
when our friends entered the church,
e slow, solemn voluntary was playing
upon the organ. The congregation sat
quietly in the pews. Chairs and bench
cs were brought to accommodate the
increasing throng Presently the
house was full. The hustle and dis
traction were over--therc was nothing
heard but the organ.
I'm few moments slight man,
wrapped in a black gown, slowly as
cended the pulpit stairs, and, before
seating himself, stood for a moment
looking down at the congregation
His face was small and thin, and pale;
but there was pure light, an earnest,
spiritual sweetness in the eyes-thc ir-
radiation of an anxious soul--as they
surveyed the people. After few mo-
ments the music stopped. There was
perfect silence in the crowded church.
Then, moving like a shadow to the
desk, the preacher, in voice that was
in singular harmony with the express
sion of his face, began to read hymn.
His voice had remarkable cadence,
rising and falling with yeaining ten
derness and sober pathoS. 1t seemed
to impart every feeling. every thought,
every aspiration of the hymn. Itwas
full of reverence, gratitude. longing,
and resignation:
"While Thee seek, protecting Power,
BE nv vain wishes stillcd;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be filed
"When he had read it and sat down
again, Hope Wayne felt as if relig-
ious service had already been perform
ed.
The simplicity and fervor and
long drawn with which he had read
the hymn apparently inspired the choir
with sympathy, and after few notes
from the organ they began to sing an
old familiar tune. 1t was taken up by
the congregation until the church
trembled with the sound, and the
saunterers in the streets outside invol-
UNFAIRLY ceased laughing and talking,
and. touched by some indefnable as
sociation, raised their hats and stood
bare headed in the sunlight, while the
solemn music flied the air.
The hymn was sung. the prayer
was offered. the cbapter was read;
then. after little silence. the calm, re-
fined, anxious. pale. yearning face APP
peared again at the desk. The preach
er balanced himself for few moments
alternately npon each foot-moved his
tounge, rs il tasting the words nc was
