entitled Home, has given an illustration of
the happy effects which may flow from firm,
yet just and kind treatment of a disobedi

domestic employment, to facilitate which
Martha had just brought in a tub of scald

patience most unboyish, was holding a skein
of yarn for grandmamma to wind ; Alice,
the eldest girl, was arranging the dinner ta

cond, was amusing the baby at the window;
Willie was saying his letters to Aunt Bet

longing to her brothei Wallace, cut a hole
in the centre, thrust into it the head of her
pet Maltese kitten, and was holding it by
its fore paws and making it dance on her
lap ; the little animal looking as demure
and as formal as one of Queen Elizabeth’s
maids of honor in hei ruff. At this critical
juncture, Wallace entered in search of bis
kite. One word of prefatory palliation for
Wallace. The kite was the finest he had
ever possessed ; it had been given him by
a friend, and that friend was waiting at the
door to string and fly it for him. At once
the ruin of the kite, and the indignity to
which it was subjected, flashed on him, and
perhaps little Haddy’s very satisfied air ex
asperated him.—In a breath, he seized the
kitten and dashed it into the tub of scalding
water. His father had come into dinner,
and paused at the open door of the next
room. Haddy shrieked, the children all
screamed, Charles dropped grandmamma’s
yarn, and, at the risk of his own hand, res
cued the kitten; but seeing its agony, with
most characteristic consideration, he gent
ly dropped it again, and thus put the spee
diest termination to its sufferings.
“The children were all sobbing. Wal
lace stood pale and trembling. His eyes
turned to his father, then to his mother, then
were riveted on the floor. The children
saw the frown on their father’s face, more
dreaded by them than ever was flogging, or
dark closet with all its hobgoblins.
“‘I guess you did not mean to do it, did
you Waddy ?’ said little Haddy, whose ten
der heart was so touched by the utter mis
ery depicted on her brother’s face, that her
pity for him overcame her sense of her own
and pussy’s wrongs. Wallace sighed deep
ly, but spoke no words of apology or justi
fication. The children looked at Wallace,
at their father and their mother, and still
the portentous silence was unbroken. The
dinner bell rang. ‘Go to your own room,
