A IITIII'K. i Many oilier little instances of home courtesies were observed by Crandall, who left the house, when his work was completed, with a new impression of life stamped upon his consciousness. The image of that pleasant home was fixed on his mind like a thing of beaqty. lie had dreamed, faintly of such homes?or road of tbem in books ; b'nt the reality was now before him. The husband and father, whose presence had brightened that home, be knew, ii^, a general way, to be a thriving man of busihess, who came | frequently to the establishment where he worked. His face wore generally a grave aspect?a little sour he hnd thought. lie had not given him credit for much kindliness ofv feeling; and was, therefore, the more impressed with what ho had seen. The sweet, musical way in which "Thank you, dear!" had been said reciprocally, by mother and children, many times, and on all occasions of service rendered, no matter how stnaUr had found an echo in his mind, where it was continually Tepeated, until "Thank you, deaf:" as he mused at his work, came ulrnost to his lips in vocal utterance. ? Wifaen Crnndall went home at nightfall, he was Btill dreaming over the picture in his uiind, and the words, "Thank you, dear!" were otiil echoing there in a kind of low music. lie was very much subdued in feeling, almost sad, and there was an air of languor about him as he came into the room where his wife was at work getting supper ready, that 6he observed as something unusual. "Jane, take your father's coat and hang it up,1' 6aid Mrs. Orandall to her eldest dAoeJiier. ? r'Slie girl-obeyed t butthere wn? no affection in her manner, nsshe moved, in a list* less sort ofv way, towards her father, and reached out hor hand for his coat.

The .words were spontaneous,' not of despoken dfc.?, - ?eo <J er u Uern nee, lie was bwt'rMKatiOpjw&fone* that wero ?ti|^o4wg m ; i V WbatVywtant life ?eeraed to "quiekentbrough tiie child's fr^roe 1 She gave one crlanco of sflf?Br'rfe into'her Cither's fane, and then stepped ?M?. with the cost like^ono well jfe&ed; ttf ji^tder^ servicer ?r. CrandaM ^R^corpri^d at himself, **? W-M4one, m i ^?... w, i^,t^^iitiiiiia who, as he received it from her hand, said I ',rrhank you." To the child, nil unaccustomed to such, an Acknowledgement for any service, these J two little words were felt to be a sweet re-1 ward. The father's altered manner and way of | speaking was perceived by the children as j well as by their mother nnd, as if by magic, ^ the whole sphere of their lives seemed to be j changed. "Shall I bring down your slippers?" ask- j ed Jane, returning to her father. "Yes, that's n good girl," answered lie ; j "my feet are nohiug in these heavy boots." j As Jane left the room with a springing ! step, Mr. Crandall commenced drawing off his hoots. They were no sooner laid tipon ! the floor than two little fellows caught hold of them, each desirous of an approving word ns a reward for services rendered their tired father. "I'll put one in tho closet, and John the other." "What bravo little men !" exclaimed Mr. Crandall, really pleased at heart, and manifesting his pleasure in the tonesof his voice; "I am a thousand times obliged to you." Jane returned with the slippers in a few moments, and stooping down drew them i r_.i r.-.A \x?t -i - iijjuu uer miner s icui. vv nen sue roje up, with checks plowing and eyes dancing in a new light, Mr. Cramlall thought her face looked really beautiful. ' Thank you, dear." The words came i now really from his heart. Mrs. Crandiill looked and listened wonderingly, while a strange glu\v pervaded her bosom. What could be the meaning of nil this? What new spirit had come over her husband ? In a quiet, pleased way, the children gathered mound their father, one climbing upon his knee. "vviiainavo you oeen uoing an day Jimmy?" asked Mr. Crandall of one of the children. "Playing,"' was the 6imnle reply. "Have you been a good boy V "Not all the time," answered the child. "I'm sorry; Jirniny must try ami be a good boy all the time. What have you, been playing ?" "Oh, everything: horses, and dogs, and turning up Jack, as mother says." Mr. Crandall laughed out at this reply, saying, "You turned up Jack mostly, I guess J" "Well, 1 guess 1 did.1' Mr. Crandall laughed again. The spirit of good nature whs transfused into every heart. Even Mrs. Crandall, usually in a fretted Gtale of mind, felt its genial influence. "Jimmy's been a right good boy to-day," said she, in an approving foice. "Ilis turning up Jack hasn't amounted to much." Mrs. Crandall was moving busily about all this time, preparing supper. Jane, who never willingly gave h^r mother any assistance, and who was rarely called upon, because she grumbled whenever asked to do anything, now said: "Mother, can I help you ?" "Yes, dear." That "dear" which had fallen so unexpectedly from the lips of her husband had been echoing in llio mind of Mr?. Crandall ever since, and now it came into utterance quite as spontaneously as in his case. "Yes, dear, you may finish setting the table while I dish up the supper." Wondering almost as much at her husband, Mrs. CrandaHj.after seeing Jane moving with a pleased alacrity, went into the kitcben, and soon all was ready.?Quite enough to satisfy their appetite had Mrs. Crandall prepared ; but her thoughts turned upon something else?something that would give her the opportunity to ask biru if she shoulfl not get it for his supper.? Yes,dear. How she longed for, the words, uttered in the gentle, loveing way they bad a little while before been spoken?but for her ears alone. At last she turned from the fire, and going to the door of the room, said very kindly: "Shall I boil you a couple of fresh egg* for your supper, Peter 1" "Yes, dear, if you please." .flow the wife's poor heart, which for years had lain Almost dead in ber bosom, leaped with a joyful, impulse 1 What a light flashed overber countenance, making it be^ptiful, as of old, in tbe ey ee^&ji e r husband. "Yes, deir, if |oi ?Not ev?n in the voice of Griij Lind would ber ears have fipund such aweet. raueic. 9 At the supper. table, P^ler Crandall pulsed the coffeo Mid tbo fried {iotaIocs, and satdHbeagg? wero jtisj, w"batbe wanted. 14m. CwmwWI ibe v^msn'ng o* orose ' ed. Even while lie wns wondering at the magical change produced by a few kind words, a full revelation of the truth came in his mind. A new leaf in the book of his life .vas turned. Thought tinned once in tlic right direction, Peter Crandall pondered this new fact in his inner life history?the magic of kind words?and going back to the very beginning, reviewed his own conduct towards his wife and children, almost day by day, up to me evening wnen, uy me power almost of a single word, the wholo scene changed, and quite as suddenly as we see it sometimes in a pantomime, lie saw liis error?saw and felt liow unjust he had been?how cold, and even cruel. Very carefully did he guard himself afterwards, and very prompt was he in observing all the little social courtesies toward his wife and children which are so beautiful to sec and so sweet in all their influences. The green things flourish prl nrrjiin in tlin Iwmri nf !?!? ....J it... ?.. .. .... v vt ino I* nv, nuu IIIV flowers bloomed there as of old. The children learned to emulate the kind words and courteous acknowledgement*, for all little services, that soon became a habit with Ihuir father and mother; and into the kind words spoken kind feelings soon flowed. It was the beginning of si new order of things in the home of Peter Crandall, where, in eood time, the desert blossomed as llie rose. Words appear as little things in themselves, hut they have great power. The magic of kind words is wonderful! Try them, ye silent Peter lirandalls who have fretful wives and contentious children. Try the effect of a little hopeful praise on your tired, unhappy,over-worked companion, and see if it doesn't brighten up her pale face as if a whole flood of sunbeams had been poured upon it.

Effect of Old Persons Sleeping with the Young. A habit which is considerably prevalent in almost every family, of allowing children to sleep with older persons, has ruined the nervous vivacity and physit-al energy of man\T a promising child.

IIU IV*W lll? child, ami wishes to preserve a sound ivrvous system, wilb which lo buffet successfully the cares, sorrows and labors of life, must see to it, that his nervou9 vitality is not absorbed by some diseased or aged relative. Children compared to adults, are electrically in a positive condition. The rapid changes which are going on in their bodies abundantly generate and as extensively work up vital nervoelectric fluids. Hut when, by contact, for nights, with elder nnd negitive persons, the vitalizing electricity of .1 - I . . - ... wtsir tender organizations is absorbed, they soon pine, grow pale, languid and dull, while their bed companion feels a corre$ponding invigoration. King David, the Psalmist knew the effect of this practice, and when he became old, ggt certain young persons, to sleep with bim,jhat his days might be iengtbened.

"Anollier wet morning!"said Mrs.Brown as slio opened the door of her poor cottage. She sighed as she looked at her broken shoos and thin old cloak, and then at the long dreary common she had to cross. "Tis very wet indeed, mother,' said Willie ; 'I have been listening a long time to the rain as it pattered on the roof, and came ! dropping down through here and there.? IIow that.kful T was that it did not fall on your bed to wake you when you were so I tired.' 'Poor child,' muttered his mother, 'lie is ! always thinking of others; oue would fan- ! cy he had troubles enough to make him \ selfish.' 'And do you not think, mother,' contin- | ueu vviiiic, uimi uoil is very good to send I lis rain instead of snow I it is not near so ! cold.' And ilie poor lame boy almost sliivcred lit llie thought of what lie had suffered. 'They nrc both bad enough, child, for poor people,'was his mother's only reply; for she had not learned to feel that our heavenly Father does all thincs well, though wo may not he r.Me to trace his hand. After giving her daughter some directions, and. bidding Willie good-bye in a softer j tone, Mrs. Brown set out on her way to ; Old Park, or the 'great house' as ?.he called it. She generally spent two days every wecit at me residence ot ftir. and Airs. Montgomery, to help their servants. Those days were looked forward, to with pleasure by the poor children at home; for in addition to her wages, (lie kind mistress of the house often found something in the way of clothes or food, which might he a help to the poor widow. While Mrs. Brown is at work in tlie kitchen, let us introduce our little readers to tlie family at the Old Park. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery had four children. Grace their eldest daughter was so much grown that she was looked upon by the younger children as a sort of a 'little mamma,' and by the servants as a wise and kind young mistress, in the absence of her mother: Herbert, a boy of ten years, Rosa, a little girl ft year younger, and Charlie, a laughing little fellow of seven completed the fumilv tisartf*. A f<>w mnntlio hofrtra ntii-ofn. ,*tl J\ " vv.v.w wm. OIV ry begii.s, I-elia Grant, an orphan cousin, had come to reside at Old Park. Iler father, who was an officer had been killed in the Crimea, nnd her mother had followed him to an early grave. Mrs. Grant felt very thankful when her sister promised to take Lelia and bring her up, for sho knew that her dear child would be taught about the precious Saviour, who?e name was as music to her ear, and whose love, and grace upheld her in a dying hour. Lelia was a thoughtful little girl; nnd though only a few months older than Rosa, her steady ways would have led one to suppose that in age she was much greater, lier pale cheek and deep mourning dress, gave a sad interest to tlie appearance of the young orphan. 4IIow provoking!' said Rosa, drawing asidtjvthe white window curtains of the bedroom where Lelia^nd she slept; 'how very provoking to liave another wet day ! Well, I notice the rain always comes when we don't want it. Indeed, we never want it, 'tis6o miserable to be kept^in doors all day. Here I have been lying awake for the last ha'fhour, thinking how many things I would do to day, but now all my plant are spoiled by thnrprovoking rain.' J 'What did you intenci doing?' asked Lelia, looking up from the book which she nail Ucon reading. 'Oh ! a vast number of things : first T wanted a hunch of sweet voifcts from mtf own garden, to give uncle John when ho comes to dinner, hut I know the rain will spoil them *, then I wished to have a good swing as soon as lessons were over, but the rain willspdil that too; for even if it clears up, mamma will say the grass is too wet.

The boys now entered, and last of all, Rosa, with a doleful face. As the hymn had just been commenced l?v Mr. Montgomeey, there was no time for thanking Lelia, even had the been so disposed, and without once lifting her eyes, she took the vacant chair near him. What could have made Mr. Montgomery read such a chapter that morning? It was about the prophet Elijah praying seven times for rain, and now God answered him. And then ho explained what a blessing rain is, and how thankful we should be to ourhenvenlv Father, wlmirivnn us, 'rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.' He reminded the children also, that, although the weather God was pleased to send might interfere with our pel fish pleasures, we should he careful not to murmur at his will, for he is always wise, and just, and good. Then in his prayer he thanked God who had given tliern shelter from the storm, and the com forts of a happy home, and asked that his goodness might lead them to repentance for sin, and gratitude for so many mercies. llad Lclia told her uncle about Rosa's tears? No indeed, she was far too kind for that; but Mr. Montgomery took every ODDOI'tunitV of l?ttdin?r 11 i<a fliililrnn In u;ul/.li and admire the providence of God, and to connect in their minds liis works with his word. A few hours after breakfast, every day were spent by Rosa and Lelia at lessons with Mrs. Montgomery. Grace had little Charlie under her care ; and though he did not now mistake b's for d's, as he used a year ago, still a good deal more attention on his part, and patience on that of his sister would be necessary before ho could be admitted to the school room to take his plac e with the elder children. Herbert had tint, vnf lioon conf fn a r*nl\1w? o/.1w\a! 1%nf J? ....... .. Ki.v..v his education was atlend'-d to by an excellent tutor, whose instructions were so interesting that the girls, and even Charlie, sometimes begged to have a lession with Mr. Lane. Things went on pretty well as long as the morning studies lasted, but when the books werfc clearded awav, and there seemed no hope that the clouds would vanish in like manner. Rosa's grief returned with fresh violence. Lelia had taken her knitting, and under the direction of Grace was just finishing off n long warm slocking, which she had spent many days in making. The 1. l i i i . - mull imu uut'll H iilllU tiresome, UUl HOW I lie last was almost done and tlie pleasure of giving them away was near. And for whom were they intended ? For poor Willie Brown, because Lelia had heard how much worse his leg became from the cold; and she thought a nice pair of lambs-wool stocking would do hiin good. And it is wondeiful how fast time flies when we are usefully employed. Herbert sat at the table copying a drawing, though now and then disturbed by Charlie, who was busily engaged in a new puzzle, and sometimes needed advice from his elder brother on this subject.? Rosa was alone unemployed. She stood leaning her head against a window-pane, and looking at the leafless trees as they bent before the wind. 4I am so miserable,1' cried at lenwh. 'every one is happy but^mei' , v. 'Would you ihjL try to be happy loo ?' asked Grace. 'I carmol Grace; you know I hate rain.' 'I am sorry you hate so good a tiling, dear. Come let us see if we can guess where it comes from, and some of its uses.)'It comes from the sky of course,' said little Charlie. '13ut how did it get up there !' asked his sister. 'Oh, I think I know,' rqjjied Herbert, raining his eves from his drawing. 'Mr. Lane told me to-day tliat4he sun evaporates or driilks up water frtfm the sea, the rivers, the ponds, and even the little streams, and that the water is then in the form of vapor, __iv? i .1- _ _ .1 1 i -1 * wmcii rihca in uie air nuu L'ccomes ciouuh.

'They are indeed* my dear ; but some arc denser or thjqilccr than others, and the rflys of uinlight "gives the clouds those varied tints.

There ^ 1 are persons. even in Kurone. to whom a mutton chop would poison. The celebra ! ted ease of Abbe de Villodieu is a rare, hut j not unparalled example, ot' animal food be i incr poisonous ; from his earliest years his ' ' repugnance to it was so decided ihal neith- ; : er the entreaties of his parents nor the men- i i anCes of his tutors could induce him to j ! overcome it. After reaching the ago of I i thirty, on a regiment of vegetable food, he I i was over-persuaded, and tried the affect of | meat soups, which led to his eating both j mutton and beef; but the change was fnJ tnl plethora and sleepiness intervened, and 1 lie died of celebrial inflammation. t j In 1843 a French soldier was obliged to quit the service because he could not. over come his violent repugnance and disgust towards animA^ food. Dr. Prout, wliose testimony will be more convincing to English readers, knew a person on whom mutton acted as a poison ; "he could not eat mutton in any form. The peculiarity was supposed to be owing to caprice but the mutton was repeatedly disguised and given liiin unknown ; but uniformly with the same result of producing violent vomiting and diarrhoea. And from the severity of the effects, which were in fact those of a virulent poison, there can be little doubt that if the use of mutton had been persisted in, it would have soon destroyed the life of the individual." Dr. Pereira, who quotes this passage, adds : "I know of a gentleman who lifts repeatedly had an attack of indigestion after the use of roast mutton': Some persons, it is kno'wn cannot take coffee without vomiting; others are thrown into a general inflammation if they eatcherries or gooseberries. Ilah'n relates himself that seven or eight strawberries would ptoluce ronvul-ious in him. Tissotsnyshe could never swallow sugar without vomiting. Many persons are unable to cat eggs ; and cakes or pudding, having eggs in their'composition, produce serious disturbances in such persons ; if they are induced to cat them under false assurances of no eggs having employed, they are soon undeceived by the unmistakable effects. Under lcs9 striking forms, this different human beings, is familiar to us all ; we see ourjriends freely indulging with benefit instead of harm, in all kinds of food which experience too painfully assures us, we can eat with only certain injury. To this fact the attention of nnrents nnVl t guardians should seriously l?e given, that by it lliey may learn to avoid the pettie tyran'nv and folly of insisting on chiloren ea'.ing food for which they have a manifest repugnance. It is too common to treat child's repngnance as mere caprice, to condemn it as "stufV and nonsense j'* when ho refuses to eat fiit or eggs, certain vegetables, and "wholesome pudding.''. Now even caprice in such matters should not bo altogether sligljted especially when it takes the form of a refusal; because this caprice is probably nounng less man me expression 01 a particular and temporary state of liis organism which we should do wrong to disregard. And whenever a refusal is constant, it'indi' cates a positivo unfitness for tfiTef food.
