A Good Seed. BY MRS. M. O. JOHNSON. “A sower fwent foitli to ’sow,” is ve : prating it sol 1 in Iho hourly life it every litiman soul. Good seed, or bad, we are , iili sowintr; seed whoso harvest is sure, after t is kind : and most emphatically is ; this true of paielits. Not so much tin* j deliberate, intended instruction—though ! words in season are precious—ns the constant influence of daily life moulds ;lit chi and for good or evil, j An idle, frivolous, selfish woman cannot j teach hor children to redeem their tune, to live witii an earnest purpose and self j | forgetful spirit A worldly, sordid, grasping man will never bring up a ■ manly, generous son. uni- ss 1 tic boy in- | limits irom his mother a different nature, : : and becomes so in spile of—not by—his j i father's influence. What weight lots flic precept to do justly, to speak truly, beside the acted lie, the petty evasion, tiie broken prom ise? Their parent’s daily life is the t o k that children read—ay, remember and appreciate, of whatever sort it lie. A little boy; hearing his father talk of a stone wail which he wanted removed, aid -ay he intended to blast it, was ea ger to see it done. Ilia father promised that he should; so the child fell perfectly sure, in going to school, or an errand, or to visit a playmate, that the wall would not, be removed while he was ab sent. P..r vaiiotts leas-u-S, however, the blasting was d.-layed; so long, that | the pr raise slipped the father’s mind, j The boy went to his grandfather's for a j visit ol some weeks, and while there lire j wall was blasted. When he came homo, I lie was Kin-prised and disappointed. His lather ut once, when thus reminded of his promise, said, “My boy, 1 did say you should see the wall blasted, and you shall ’ At a good deal of expense and trouble, the wall was rebni t, and blasted over again, Thu t father valued 11is word a» and I 11is parental influence, above his neney and conveuienct. Who will doubt he had his reward, in his boy’s honor and love, and the integrity of Unit scu’o manhood. Not, of course that one in stance and example of justice r.nd tide i ty would attain this; but th*- father who would be jnst in what almost every one would call bi» Bin ill a tiling, would not f.ii at any time to govern nia conduct t»y th<‘<e piinok)les; and every instance") is a good seed nlanted in tender and re- | ccptive soil. The child will never for- j get it, but its influence will go with him through life. Mrs, Sherwood, long after she became j a wife and mother, recorded of her father ; a similar act, not involving great ex- I P' Dhc, but from the same principle. It j occurred while she was a little child, but j was never forgotten. Her brother, Mar- j tin, io itying to climb ovei a high irate, j fell and hurt his head severely. When the doctor dressed it, he was ij'iiet and patient, and his father promised him a reward. He wanted 8 one berries, such a» he had seen on a moil main- ash, a little time b-d O'o his fall. His father, went for them as soon as ho could, but the birds had forestalled him, and strip ped the tree. Many and many a mile that father rode, examining all the rroiintain-asb j trees, till he found toe beautiful, scarlet ; berries, to carry home to his little boy. • “Marlin,' '* Said the mother, ‘you seel that when your father makes a promise, j he tries very hard to keep it. Ami ttiis j is ti e reason, be i-t following our Savior, wan tp-vor lb-parts (ruin His word, but keeps every promise lie lias made to ns.” The words would not fall idly, because - they were sustainrd by example. And not only in those children's lives would the seed bear fiuit, but tbe sweet teacn- 1 ir.g comes down through the generations, j Tiie Secret . —“I noticed,” said Frank-; lin, “a mechanic among a number oft others at work on a lions- j being erected but a little way from rny office, who always appeared tn| |,e in a meriy humor, who had a kind j word and a cheerful smile to every one he tn-t. Let the day he ever so o'd. gloomy or sunless, a happy smile danced like a sunbeam on his chceiful counte nance. Meeting him one morning, ) asked him to tefl me this secret ol hi* constant flow of -pints.” ‘ No secret, doctor,” he replied, “i have got one "f tI.C beat wives, and when 1 goto woik she has always a kind word : oi encouiagemeut lor me; and when I g >, home she meets me with a r.miie and a kiss, and then tea ia ssie to bo ready; • and she lias done so many little thing through the day to please- in -, ttiat 1 can not find it in my heart to speak an mi- . kind word to anybody.” What ii flue-nee, then, has woman over the heat tof man. to soften it and make , it the foundation ot chc-rful and pure j emotions.
