Selections. | HARD WORDS AND KIND WORDS. Jacob Bowman was a self-willed, ill- | | . natured man, who endeavored to make his ! way in the world by driving everything | before him. Weak, timid people yielded to his imperative manner, when | in contact, and avoided him as much as possible; but every little while he ran against some one not inclined to be hec- | tored or crowded, and then came trouble. | In his family Jacob endeavored to rule | with a strong hand. Feelingand impulse, not reason and judgment, guided his con- No law of love held his chil- | dren in obedience to his will; he governed by the law lof force. Men like Jacob Bowman, | duct here. | who are al- | ways ready to strike hard, cannot, usually bear the weight of a feather in return. He was particularly sensitive touching the deportment of others toward himself, and quickly resented a dictatorial word. This sensitiveness was inherited by his children, | | who, in consequence, weré hurt from the | beginning, by his harsh way of treating | them, and led, from natural impulse, to and misrule at home-- disregard of author- ity and disrespect on one side, and the ! pstrong arm that sought to enforce submis- | sion on the other. Alas! in such a' con- test there is no hope, for the power of re sistance grows stronger daily, and will is | | strengthened in like ratio with power.-- | | Jacob's children had no love for their fath er, and 'so obedience rested only in fear; and as fear ceased to hold their in sub- | mission, restraint grew weak. As for his | | wife, she, | cold toward her husband. For using a common and very significant form | of expression, she had hardly dared to say | that her soul was her own But at the | | tite of which we write, fifteen | years from her marriage day, she was be- | ginning to react with some firmness upon | her husband's dictatorial ways,and totreat | | him with an indifference particularly an- | poor woman! had grown very | years, nearly noying to one of his temperament. He could not storm her into submission as in earlier times. The sharp word er harsh ¢ommand, fell impotent from his lips, not | moving her from the way in which she in- clined to walk: Mr. Bowman was beginning about this | period, to feel greatly discouraged in re- | gard to his children." They did not grow more obedient as years added strength to | their bodies and minds. His word was not obeyed as law, though spoken in thunder daily. They did not shrink from | his person, nor tremble at his threat.-- | They were immovable, though he stormed. He raged and they heeded him not. He | punished, and they were not Pestrained. One day, on returning home, Mr. Bow- was pale, and in tears. Laying her hand upon his arm, shé drew him into the par: lor. " What ails you?" he asked, in hisusual tough way, yet betraying the anxiety that come over his mind, | "Sit down, and I will tell you." Mr. Bowman sat down. * There was a peculiarity in his wife's voice that, uncon- sciously, subdued him. " Lu's arm is broken." " What!" " Her arm is broken badly; but Dr. Ed- | wards has been here." "Lu's arm broken! How did that hap- | pen?" ¢ Jacob threw her down stairs," Mr. Bowman started to his feet, his face instantly flushed with anger, and ad- vancing one foot said, tone: '" Where is he!"

Now, Lu had taken what didnot belong to her; and if you had adjudged the case rightly, you would have compel- led her to give up the grasges to Jacob." Mr.' Bowman frowned still more heavily.

He saw deeper into that boys t: fore, and understood how painful, yet how | ed passions and impulses. | ing he had hindered; wounding instead of prise in Mr. Bowman's voice. Oh, as his arms closed around her, tightly, drawing her to his heart, what joy was hers! It seemed as if there had been a sud- | den birth into a new life. Beyond this she did not speak. Then and there admonition died on her tongue. She had borne her husband upwards, through a sudden strong impulse, to a higher plane of thought and perception and then withdrew her uplifting arms, that he might dwell there in his own conscious- { Ness, "" Will you not speak more kindly and more gently!" Could Mr. Bowman ever forget this appeal' No--no! Whata revel- turned for him, leaf after leaf, in the book | of memory, bringing-shame and self-re- proaches! " More kindly and more gently." Whatstinging accusation was inthe words! Mr. Bowman was humbled and 'subdu- ed; and this state was favorable to right perceptions. He not only saw clearly, but resolved soberly and in earnest. How must the gentle heart of his wife have suffgred through long years, thus to react against him now-- thusito cry out for him to stay the iron heel with which he had well nigh crushed out all love from his home! He was oporessed, humiliated, pain- ed at the revelation of himself that was suddenly presented. When, half an hour afterwards, Mr. Bowman went to Jacob's room, where the boy had retired on hearing him enter the house, and where he had been waiting a summons, and steeling his mind for the endurance of punishment, he found the boy cold, ealm, and hard of aspect. There was some fear in his countenance; but no sign of sorrow for the evil he had done. " Jacob," said Mr. Bowman, speaking in a low, serious voice, but without a sign of anger, as he sat dow n by the boy, ""how.did it happen that you Yaw your 'sister down stairs?" This manner of address was so different from what Jacob had anticipated, that his aspect changed instantly. His pale, cold face flushed; his eyes grew moist; his lips quivered. "1 was angry father." He could say no The flopdgates of feeling were too suddenly opened. He covered his face yith his hands and wept. "1 thought it was so," replied Mr. 'Bowman, without manifesting displeasure. '"1 knew that my son could not, if in his right mind, do any harm to his sister.-- See what a dreadful thing anger is! You could have stepped over her feet!" *" Yes, father, I could have done it." -- Jacob looked up with his eyes still run- | ning over with tears. " But she had put ! herself in my way on purpose, and I felt so angry that I would have done almost anything. I-don't care when I'm mad." '" That's a dreadful thing, Jacob? Don't care when you are angry!" Mr. Bowman spoke very gravely.

Command and obedience involved the whole rule of family govern- ment; and under this rule he had well nigh destroyed the bonds of filial and fra- ternal love. But undef the new rule, in- augerated in pain and self humiliation, there was a joyful promise that did not ie. eu a man of Mr. Bowman's inherited and acquired disposition, the government of kindness was a difficult order of home admiration. Old states were constantly recurring, and hard words instead of gentle remonstrances forever rising| to his tongue. But instructed through that single lesson, so forcible given, he could not forget his duty; and so, through resolute self com- ing instead of cursing the human souls which God had placed in his keeping. rat Ae A Prouric Fiminy.--About a mile from Jamestown, Bussell County, there lives one of the most remarkable families in this commonwealth, and, probably, in the United States. Mr. James Jeffries, who is now in the city serving on the petit jury of the United States Court, tells his own story, and says that he (was married | before he was seventeen years old, his wife | being only. five days younger than himself. They livedtogether seven years without children, when his wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. In the fifteen years which followed, ninetepn children were born to the happy couple, each sub- sequent birth alternating between twins | and single births, until fifteen | [years were lished and ninet children com- posed the family circle, seven pairs of twins being born during the time. Mr. Jeffries is only forty-five years old, and is still youthful in appearance and very stout. . His wife never had' +h health in all her life than at present, | though she will not weigh a hundred pounds. Her greatest weight at any time was oné hun- dred and ten pounds. The boy of the first twins now weighs ore hundred and sixty- fivepounds. All the boys who have grown have made large men; the girls are of good size, and all the children | healthy. But five out of the nineteen have died. Mr. Jeffries has ten brothers, all of whom are large men, and within the [families of Jo eleven brothers, thirty-seven pairs of twins, making seventy-four twin children, 'to say nothing of the hosts of single births. Five of Mr. Jeffries' children are married, and, added to all those singular facts, not- withstanding the absence of silvery locks on his head, he is the grandfather of five children. -- Louisville Courier. ie --_ 4 4 -- |e Mam! said a precious [little boy, who, against his will, was made to rock the cradle of his baby brother, "if the Lord has any more babies to give away, don't you take 'em.' m A ovine wife in Danbury, Conn., on the d of her husband, sent the fol- lowing thrilling telegraph tof a distant friend: " Dear John is dead. overed by insurance.

A CORRESPONDENT tells an anecdote of an old woman who, when her pastor said to her, " Heaven has not deserted you in your old age," she repelied; " No, sir, | have a very good appetite still." A AN who was arrested for cruelty to a miserable looking horse, was asked if he ever fed him, =" Ever fed him? That's a good un," was the reply: "he's got a Bushel and a half of oats at home now; only he ain't got time to eat "em." A BURGLAR was caught in a néighbour- ing town, from the circumstances of meet- ing a young lady in one of the rooms in her night clothes. On seeing him she fainted and fell in his, arms, and when the people of the house came in he was trying to bring her to with a bottle of camphor.
