Thera It a proverb—“A word latte longer
than a marble ilab,” the truth of which onco
comprehended would certainly causa ne to com
rider well, and bo carefn), that our words
should bo kind. A word thoughtleaaly spoken
in ridicule baa wounded many a heart already
overburdened with sorrow, words spoken In
haughty overbearing spirit to those In our aer-
vice, often rankle in their heart! and humiliate
them more than we an aware, and may even
change the whole tenor of their lives, for kind
words are to the heart what dew la to the flow<
er, and Bichter says. "Hearts are flowers, they
remain open to the light felling dew but shut
up in the violent down-pour of rain." The
influence wo may wield for the good of others
is greatly capacitated by the use of kind words.
No whero do they become so precious aa in tho
homo circle. No matter what may bo tho decor
ations of the homo j if tho wife moots her has'
hand with petulant words because she thinks ha
has stayed out longer than is proper; or if the
children an allowed to uae cram and overbear
ing words to one another, and the servants
then is no amount of adorning that can make
that home beautiful, for ithaa been truthfully
laid; "decorating a home that It never irradia
ted with heartyjgood nature, la like frescoing a
caller wall.” I have a dear friend who la a
young woman, hut an excellent manager of
children, (the best I ever taw, and they an so
few those dtyt). I was with her one day and
her two little one*, flve and three years old,
were playing in the next room, when thera
came a ill-tempered scream from tho youngest.
She quietly arose and went to them, and I
knew she punished the child, but when she
came hack, the said that ahe had onco before
reproved the little one for ecreamlng at her
brother and bad told her if the did it again ahe
most punish her. She then said: "I teach my
children aa toon as they an able to understand,
that they must not be cross to each other, and
I always found If allowed when smell,to eeraam
at each other, tho next thing will be orose
words, and it is just as easy to train them to
say pleasant words as any others. 1 ’ Tonng
mothers make a noto of this, (I did), and aet
on it, It rests with yourselves whether yonr
children will uae kind words. There are so
regrets attached to the use of kind word*, but
what sorrow, so keen as the memory or unkind
words used to thoee who have gone forever
feom our home*, where we can never ahow
them love or tenderness any more. Tho sweet
est memory of my life, and the one. that has
been the greatest consolation in the troubles of
later years, is, tho recollection that I never
spoke an. unkind word to my mother and that
1 had her assurance of it in her last moments
This train of thought! was no doubt suggested
by the many kind worda that have come to us
during the past week through our correspond
enta. Thay are too numerous to mention, but
we thank them, one and all,, bat especially
those who ask for us blessings beside giving us
kind words. There wore two letters that
brought a very auspicious moisture to our eyes:
"Hay God bless and keep you,” and “May the
Lord bless Tan Constitution and all con
cerned,” are words that came from the alncere
hearts of good woman, and have a wealth of
meaning in them. Well way Tax Constitu
tion be proud to have such blessings called
down upon it, and may it continue to deserve
them. In behalf of Tux Constitution and
“all concerned In It," I thank the correepond-
ente of Woman’s Kingdom for their many kind
words. _____
Correspondence.
Annie and Duaca Alnsiey, Turin, Ga.: For
nearly two years we bars been readers of TnaCos-

Kingdom is open loall whowUlwrito on matten and
things that concern women. We can ell do or MU
something that, perhaps, will help another, and If
we cannot ha tall oaks, w» may be the little fern at
Its feet, each teaching a lesson in its way. We
think the Kingdom is a vast help. Now, wa wish

Are tonight, I cm thinking of my
niect* and nephews, and the beat way to pats
the time It to toll you some of my thoughts,
You don’t know how I am always thinking of
yon, and wishing I could do something or say
something to make you good children. One
dear little girl wrote me thi, week. “I try ao
bard to be good and useful," another told mo
that since Saute Claus came, ahe had read four
hooka, and all of them nice ones. Now that,
children,la the secret of making grand men and
women, I want yon to remember wbat I am
going to say now, and whan yon grow up and
people praise you, and aay what a flue man, or
woman that is, yon will lay Aunt 8uaio taught
me bow to bo great. This it the way, there
are three things to remember, flrst be good,
second be useful, third be smart, that will in
sure your sucecsa in this life, and in tho life
that has no end. Did I ever tell yon I had a
pet? You've all told me about your pete and
now I’m going to tell yon about mine. My
pot la a dog, and if you were to goeas all day,
you could not guesa his name, he is laying on
a couch right by me now, covered op with a
shawl, for ho la a lit tie dog and very smart,
and his name is “Shea-wee” King, my dog is a
rat terrier, and yon say rata“Shee-weo,"and ho
jumps down tnd hunts till ha ilnds them. Now
I am going to tell you something that happen,
cd to mo last week. I had been getting a great
many letters from the children and had to
work very hard to gat them ready for tho
printer. I could not tell you what a great big pile
of papers I had already, and at night laid them
In my bureau draw, and went to sleep, happy,
thinking next morning I would take my work
to Tm: Constitution affloe, when lot and be
hold t when I went to get my work to tho
morning a little mouse had gotten in the draw
and there wore my papers Joat nibbled ail to
pieces. I tell you it made mo right sick, but I
know tho poor littlo mouse did not know any
better, and I Just had to bear it But then
came the frra, for we called "Shee-wee” and
told him there was a mouse somewhere and ho
must catch tt, and he did tn a few minutes, but
he ran it over the bed and he jumped on too
and all over the room, but ho killed it, I hated
to see tho poor lltle mouse killed, but I did not
want to loose any more work. I will be more
careful in the future. Aunt Sous.
