IN AnecdOte of Mr.. Wilson.

The New York TjiLu5lc of Il recent date
publishes the following pleasant sketch:
Hon. Henry Wilson Is :, man who never
forgcts promise or a friend. No better
illustration OF his character can he given
than by the narration Of an incident. we'll
known in the little town of N:ttick. where
ne so long resided. and where he is so
deeply beloved. Some time in the year
lS,is. when Mr.. Wilson was engaged in
business, he was one day acco>ted by 4
bright little fellow Of perhaps a dozen
years of ayc, who earnestly desired en-
ployment. The boy WAS poorly dressed.
and his whole appearance denoted extreme
poverty. Mr.. Wilson made some inquiries
Of HIM. and learned that his father WAS Il
man Of intemper;ttc habits. who neglected
to provide for and cruelty lll-trcated his
family, and the boy, whom we call Rogers,
desired to do what he could to aid in their
support. He was instantly engaged, ant!
worked faithfully and chcerfully for sev-
cral weeks. until he had earned what, in
those days, WAS considered :. neat little
sum Of money, which % his poor mother
wou!d be of grcttet assistance.
When. however, the fondlv anticipated
:" pay day" came. Rogers was cruelty dis
appointed by his father entering the facto-
" and demanding his sons wages of Mr.
Wilson. to which of course he was Obliged
TO ;tccedc. The father then commanded
his son to return home that night and leave
the factory.
Completely crushed 10y This blow the
boy wept bitterly. an'. began his prcpar;.-
tions for departing While thus engaged
Mr.. wilson approached him and said,
" Rogers. You haze been Il gooi. faithful

y Word TO MOrIlERs.-- Mothers are the
real teachers. after all. They have in their
hands the moral guidance of their BOYS
till the latter are ut least twelve. and their
daughters Till they marry. If mothers do
their duty. their sons in all but exceptional
cases. will grow up good and honorable
men. 1t is because lads are not taught at
home, and taught by example as well a.
precept. what is noble AMI right. that they
50 often 20 astray. Bat even if there is
some excuse for son not turning out
well, there Is h,;rIly any in the case of
daughter. Bring 4 girl up tn be a good
wife and mother; give her the solid &C
4uirements that will enahle her to Ill th. ss
positions properly, AMI she will make hel-
self and others hapry. But devote too
much time /" mere conpli>hments, and
you render her vain and frivolous. OF
