Because, mother, you have always
told me that God was good, and that we
should try and be like him; and should
like to know if he ever sc0lds.'
4 mo. my child, of course not"
well, I'm glad he don't, for scOlding
always hurts me, even if feel | have
done wrong; and it don't seem to me
that could love God very much if he
scOlded."
The mother felt rebuked before her
simple child. Never before had she
heard so fOrcible lecture on the evils
of scOlding. The words of the child
sank deep into her heart, and She'turned
away from the innocent face of her lit
tie one to hide the tears that rose to her
ewes. Children are quick observers; and
the child, seeing the effect of her words,
eagerly inquired.
"Why do you cry, mother? Was it
naughty for me to say what l said?" =
mo, my love, it was all right. l was
only thinking that might have spoken
more kindly, and have hurt your feel
ings by speaking so hastily and in an
ger as / did"
20, mother, you are good and kind;
only wish there were not so many bad
things to make you fret and talk as you
did Just now. 1t makes me feel away
from you, so far, as if could not come
near you, as do when you speak kindly.
And oh, some times fear shall be put
off so far can never get back again.
mo, my child, don't say that" said the
mother, unable to keep back her tears,
as she felt how her tones had repealed
her little one from her heart; and. the
child, wondering what so effected her
parent, but intuitively feeling it was a
case requiring sympathy, reached up
and throwing her arms about her
mothers neck, whispered:
Mother, dear mother, do I make you
cry? Do you love me?"
80, yesl love you more than 1 can
TELL" said the parent, clasping the little
one to her bosom; "and l will try never
to scold again, but if / have to reprove
my child, will try to do it not in an
ger but kindly, deeply IS l may be
grieved that she has done wrong"
80, / am so glad. / can get so near to
you if you don't scOld. And do you
know, mother, want to love you so
much and l will try always to be good
The lesson was one that sank deep in that
mothers heart, and has been an aid to
her for many year. 1t impressed the
great principle of reproying in kindness,
not in anger, if we would gain the great
end of reproOf-the great end of winning
the child, at the same time, to what is
right and to the parents heart.

Young Man can do.

Some of the Remarkable Things This
Young Man can do.
From the Albany Argus.
"Sile" Brewster, one of the wOrkmen
engaged this week in repairing the Law
renee street bridge, and in the employ
of Messrs. Sullivan & Rice, is a great
character. He is young fellow about
% years of age, six feet high and weighs
between 160 and 10 pounds. In appear
ance he is tall and thin, and more in
clined to the feminine than masculine,
but nevertheless giant in strength and
an athlete in action. In the work on
which he is engaged there is no child's
play, it being heavy and labOrOus. Still
to isle it appears as naught. Whether
hammering riyets, hosting heavy tim
bers or carrying iron beams, he is ever
happy, and the devil-may-care twinkle
of his eyes, together with his many tricks
of agility, convince the 'obseryer that
hard work affects him but little. The
other afternoon the iron castings for the
bridge arrived, some of the pieces weigh
300 pounds. 1t was thought at first a
derrick would have to be erected to place
them in position. ''Sile", laughed at the
idea, and cOOlly taking the heaviest piece
in his arms walked about 200 feet with
it and placed it in its proper place on
the bridge, paying little heed to the WON
dering eyes that were upon him. A mo-
ment afterward he was called to spike
some plank on the bridge, and being in
hurry to execute the order, he reached
for the railing, which was some two feet
above his head as he stood, and vaulted
clear over it, striking on his feet, and
Immediately executed double somer-
sault, striking on his hands and then on
his knees right on the spot where he was
called to do the spiking. And so he goes
all day long; now carrying as much as
two ordinary men can lift; again per-
forming some feet that would do credit
to an acrobat in the ring, and never for
moment sighting or neglecting his
work or the good and welfare of his en-
plOyers. 1t is said of him, on good au-
thority, that recently he carried parlor
safe, weighing about LOO pounds, up
three flights of stairs with as much ease
as though it were an ordinary box of sc
or 100 pounds. T-e ..a

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the

sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under The shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom-
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sem
sation in the back part. There is gen.
orally considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
Of havingjeft undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of WEAKNESS
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning. and he COM
plains of a priclly sensation Of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him. yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.

The Wrong Window.

Some years ago old Judge Dash,
OF Maine, accompanied by his wife,
visited New York. The Judge
put up at the tavern down by the
Battery. Before retiring for the
night, and after Mrs. Dash had re-
tired, the Judge would have bath.
Having performed his additions,
the Judge looked around for some
receptacle into which he might
turn the contents of his wash
bowl.
There was nothing at hand, and
rather than summon servant, the
old gentleman conceived the idea
OF throwing the water out Of the
window.
So, mounting q chair, he opened
y little square window, which he
thought opened into the back yard,
and putting the bowl through it,
deliberately emptied its contents.
A howl of rage greeted the ears
Of the good old Judge, accompan.
led by female cries, and loud OBJ
jurations In masculine voice.
"What in creation are you NJ
tot" shouted somebody.
''Wbat in creation are you prowl
ing around at this time o'nigh
ferr replied the Judge. "Yor
ought to be at home with y'r wifi
and children"
But the poor fellow outside ha(
been quietly sleeping in bed will

bors that they we're obliged to seel

When an old man was watkins
past Madison square day or tive
ago, fellow rushed up to him anC
shouted:
"Cab, mister, cabi"
ayes, / see it's a cab" responded
the old man, to satisfy the frantic
individual who was pointing at the
vehicle, that he believed him.
"Would you like a cab, sir Z"
"Indeed l should. If | could
afford it, I'd always keep a cab. |
believe the cab to be one of the
most eminent civilizers of the nine
teenth century"

gage me to drive you anywhere T.

face and hung down on the should

"Then jump right in, and I'll
whirl you through the Switzerland
of America so fast that you'll
think that you are skimming
the diaphonous bosom of Lake
Como"
"Then your horse is fast I"
ayes, sir, he is; when he gets
under way once it's pretty hard to
stop him. He moves as gracefully
as a swan, and as swift as a
Mexican tornado. / have had
brakes adjusted on my cab, and
with them / manage to stop Boil

al don't think l will," replied the
old man; "you are altogether to
novel for me. Your horse is too
fast for a nervous old man with
rheumatism and govt. Now, if
your horse could go mile in eight
minutes I'd engage you. I'm not
going to Pelham and back in ten
minutes. / want more time when
l go to the country. Have you
COW you can hitch up instead of

"No, sir"
~Then l shall pass humbly on"

way, and the cabman looked after
him in blank astonishment.-New

return. Mr.. Harte was out of
sorts the whole way, and | nursed
my disappointment at his first
venture. However, he said he had
other matter that might please the
fastidious c., and there need be
no delay in the months issue. He
did not try TO explain away C-'s
objections, but said that the argu-
ment was taken from real life, too
real, perhaps, and that his philoso-
phic treatment was at fault. On
reaching my Office, | met several
of the establishment ready with
condemnations, even to uplifted
hands, and all prophesying that
such an article would be a death
blow to my magazine. Mr.. Harte,
in the meantime, had hurried to
his home for other MSS. l took
the proof home when l went to
lunch, and thought that perhaps
after reading it in that sancity |
might get better idea how to
caution and direct Mr.. Harte as to
magazine morals. Pursuing my
habit of resting for an hour on the
lounge, gave the proof TO my wife
to read aloud, as was q common
practice; and lay with closed eyes
expecting fearful encounter with
her, yet hoping for some favor
from her critical Judgment. l was
struck particularly with its de-
scriptive force and conciseness in
narrative, aud thinking what a
waste Of imagination over so trivi-
vial an incident, when l heard a
sob, and looking up my wife was
in tears. That was enough. l
rushed to my Office, and without
explanation, ordered the article |.
inserted at once, and so The
Luck of the Roaring Camp APP
Deared. Our San Francisco pa
pers were somewhat careful in
heir notices, and | waited most
eagerly for the eastern papers,
They came, and were universal in
heir praises and then l told my
wife that she was truly the spon-
sor of Bret Harte."

And by and by your dear loved face,

No more inspire my song.

Which you 20 me have given,
VIII lead me in Gods holy paths,
Win guide me home TO Heaven.

How tender and how true;
Like softly falling summer showers,
Like early morning dew.
In childhood's hours, in girlhood's morn,
In sickness, and in tears,
To sympathize and comfort me,
In all my gloomy fears.
Thou, mother, hast true friend been,
And many burden borne;
And many cloud OF grief for me,
Thy gentle face hath worn.
What tribute can 1 bring to thee;
What words 50 fond and truei
All love, affection, tenderness,
Most surely art thy due.
And may the loving Father give
Thee many a blessing rare;
Aud may thy life on earth be bright
Thy path TO Heaven most fair.
