For Woman’s- Work. I CANNOT. I cannot recall the angry word, That from my lips like an arrow sped, And wounded a heart so full of trust, And left that heart-trust cold, and dead. I cannot unsay the flippant jest, That cruelly pierced a sensitive heart, And left us estranged who had been friends, By a heedless jest driven far apart. I cannot undo the treacherous deed, A deed I had hoped would bring me gain. BuLI view the wreck by my treachery wrought, And I’d fain undo it, but in vain. I cannot remove the blight from the heart That drooped ’neath my passion’s withering scorn, . But I bitterly gaze on its desolate woe, With pangs, that my rashness left one forlorn I cannotgo back by the way I came, To right those I’ve wronged and soothe the pain. But mine are the dregs of each cup I’ve filled, And I needs must quaff them, oft and again. Sylvia Silverthorne. Muscatine, lowa. For Woman’s Work. SENSITIVE CHILDREN. BY MRS. S. C. HAZLETT. “ Open the door for the children, Tenderly gather them in.” There is not a true mother in the world who would willingly wound her little ones, but life is so full of stern realities, and many mothers have so much care upon their weak shoulders—some the entire sup port of the family, that they are apt to overlook things, which, under more pleas ant circumstances, would be very apparent and receive the needful attention, and yet it is not always the poor or overtasked mother, who sometimes neglects the sen sitive child, for the so-called duties of so ciety claim entirely too much time of the wealthy, and ofttimes indolent mothers, to the detriment of her family, especially the little sensitive child. Children have the same feelings as their elders, only they are more tender. Contact with the world but hardens, and in many instances embitters one, but the sensitive, trusting child, who believes everything that is told him, because he himself is true, and takes everything for granted, is one of the keenest sufferers, im aginable, and because of his capability of suffering, he is naturally more apprecia tive, and enjoys likewise. There is a great difference in children, and one is less sensitive than another. A diffident child, one who is apt to shrink from strangers, to be the last to offer or accept a favor, to love solitude, one who is quiet and distant, is generally the most sensitive of children. Such a child should be encouraged, praised, brought out, and not put aside, for one apparently brighter, or more intelligent. If any preference is ever given to a child, it should be to the backward one. A thoughtful child, often appears sulky. A close study of children, will prove the contrary. I made the acquaintance of a little girl once, who was universally termed stupid, and dull, who upon giving her my confi dence, and winning her love, I gradually drew out, until I felt an awe steal over me, at her utterances of thought, and rare ex pression of language, showing that what others deemed dullness, and stupidity, was depth and concentration ; she was awake, and cultivating, while they were sleeping heavily. The indurating process is a terrible one, and pitiful indeed, is the child who has ceased to care whether he is loted or not, and who accepts the husks that are thrown him, with a pathetic indifference, as a matter of course. It will come to this after a time—though there will still be supreme hours with him, when he would gladly remember the touch of a loving hand, that somehow in life s worry had passed him by; and to hear through the chiming of memory’s bells, the echoes of a sweet voice full of a tenderness understood only by him. God pity the lonely child, starving amidst plenty; who is longing and waiting for a loving look, a word of praise or en couragement, and is continually denied it from sheer thoughtlessness. In the hurry and worry of life, parents and children drift so far apart that the chasm yawns unto the bitter end. In many instances there is misunder standing upon both sides; the parent is equally sensitive, and as utter strangers would, one waits for the other. “ You did not kiss liie good-night,” said a little girl with grieved eyes, and a sad droop of the under lip, when her mamma, noticing it, asked her “ What is the matter?” “Why dear, I was waiting for you,” said the loving mother, w'ho was feeling the supposed neglect as well, and quickly clasped her child to her bosom. A little thing, but an illustration of greater things. There should be no waiting. Life is too short. We are all too thoughtless and careless of one another’s feelings. Get acquainted with your children. Draw near to them and they to you. The pattering of tiny feet will not echo long in the halls of the old home, and the thorns are thickly strewn along life's path way for them, as they were for us, who are older-grown, and let the memories of home be those not dimmed with tears. TWO SECRETS OF HAPPINESS. There are people who seem constitution ally happy and whose mere presence dif fuses joy. There are others against whom nothing can be said, except that they ap pear to be destitute of the power either to enjoy or create enjoyment. There are many causes of this diversity, but the most common one, we believe, to be this: The joyous and joy-giving person was happy in his childhood, while the individual whose spirits never rise to overflowing, had a childhood of gloom, constraint and contra diction. The happy man was received into the world with a welcome. His coming was to his parents a delight and pride. The tenderest love hovered round his cradle and nurtured his expanding'heart. He was always loving and always beloved. Not cruelly indulged in every boyish caprice, but gently and wisely trained to _dp his duty, and supplied with rational means of enjoyment. It is hardly possible to overstate the blessings of a happy childhood. It is worth while to make any propel sacrifice in order to store the memory of children with happy days. The merry Christmas, the family picnic, the excursion, the children’s party, the occasional gift, are delights that do not cease when the little tired head sinks on the pillow at night; they live again in the character of the joy-inspiring man; they shine in the pleasant countenance of the merry old grandfather. So much for pa rental duties in regard to this important matter. On the other hand, no young person should consider it an advantage to get rid of parental supervision and care. There is no other institution like the happy family; there is no other friendship like the friend ship of father and of mother. There are no persons who will tell you the truth so faithfully; there are no persons that know your faults so well; there are none so dis interestedly considerate for your well-be ing, as your father and your loving, patient mother. ■ “ The world is all too sad for tears; I would not weep, not I, But smile along my life’s short road, Until I, smiling, die. “ The little flowers breathe sweetness out Through all the dewy night; Shall I more churlish be than they, And plan for constant light? “ Not so, not so ; no load of woe Need bring despairing frown, For while we bear it we can bear, Past that, we lay it down.” A man’s heart gets cold if he does not keep it warm by living in it, and a censo rious man is one who ordinarily lives out of his own heart. Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character. SPECIALLY FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. The AMERICAN ANALYST For the Family and Consumer.
