KINDNESS.
Hints About It's Value in Dealing with
Hen and Animals,

kindness in regard 10 OCr dealings
with men and animals. Let the keen
observing eye watch FOR c time two
mothers trying to train their children
20 obedience The first commands it
BY o foUris b Of the rod and loud
sounding words. The other vaaves
around them The soft slIken thread OF
kind words and eudeariug attentions

than chains could CO II. They cannot
disobey her, for the good reason they
have not got It II their hearts 70 do
so. They viii jump and bound to her
every call and wish. Then observe
the onward course through life Of the
two families. The first, as . general
thing, i training her children to be-
come the inmates Of prisons and
houses OF iIl-fame. They become
rough. unfeelirg men and women (;
they acknoY ledge 10 government but
that OF force. The second you viii
find in al the honorable walks % life,
from the lowest to the highest. Ithas
been said that the grea: secret Of sue
cess By the noted Generals Of history,
such as BonapaTts, Washington and
Wellington, that they commanded
vast armies of men, not By cOmpul-
sion, but by kind words and atten-
tions. They made their soldiers so
attached TO them by kindness that
they would readily rush to the can
nous mouth or upon the point Of the
osyonet. at their command. They
believed in the principle that If you
would have men serve you, first teach
them TO love yUu.
And how does kindness pay in Te-
gard 70 our dealings with animals .
We have 2 few men among Us that
are raising and tending large numbers
Of animals. .-sad they appear u ,0v9
them next to their God and neigh
Dor. Every attention is paid TO them.
They are fed, watered and housed
with almost as much care as many
meu give 10 their families and y
their kindness and good attention &
their animals they create sueE pow
erfUI center Of attraction that ii draws
ever the dollars and ceuts. They
fairly leap and jump 20 meet them.
And while they, by their kindness,
ara calling around themselves the
rood things Of this life, they are also
laying up treasures, where moth and
rust will not corrupt, and where
thieves will not steal. But what shall
we say Of the man that whips,
staTves, and abuses his animals? We
would say, that however loud his pro-
fessions, christianity hangs to him by
q very slender thread. We would say
to him, apply the christian rule 10
vour animals: bless them that would
curse you bless and pat kindly the
cow or horse that would kick YOU. tt
