John lookcl ilisappoinled. lie stootl, for a little while, looking now nt the paint box and sheet of paper in his hand", and now at the altered face of hi sister; the istcr with whom he had been playing so sweetly for an hour. Never mind he said at length, in j it com fort intr voice. 'Flora will have to wait for her new cloak. She must wear ouc of her old dresses to-day. Here ii a handsome one.' And stoop ing to the box on the iloor, he lifted therefrom a plaid walking dress. 'Flora will look handsome enough in ' this paid he, iu a cheerful voice, j 'I don't want to play at paper i doll. Amy looked still more un I lovely. The frown on hor brow was heavier, and her lips pouted to a de glee that sadly marred her childish features. John's face now becamo troubled. The current of his feelings, which had been gliding nlong so smoothly, with the sunshine on its breast, commenced rippling over stony obstructions. He sat down upon the floor, beside the box of paper dolls, ami in a listless kind of way commenced turning ovr the figures and dresses. Presently he took up a bonnet, and began bending the front of it backward, though not in a manner to injure or disfigure it. 'Don't do that!' said Amy, curtly. 'You'll spoil the bonnet. And she came quickly forward, and reached out her hand to take the small piece of paiiited card-board from her broth er. John, instead of giving it up in a kind way. was offended at his sis ter's manner, and thrust the bonnet behind him, out of her reach. fiive it to me, John!' The child's reddening face marked her quickly rising anger. Hut John did not vield. Ho still kept the bonnet beyond iier gras). 'I'll tell mother, if you don't give me my doll's bonnet!' cried Amy, with increasing ill nature. Tell her! I don't care!' replied the boy. Give me the bonnet! 'I won't until I please Mother!' Amy turned to the door, crying out in an imperative voice. 'What do vou want?'

She was not one of the kind that make a upon the floor to arrange and fit them upon the figures of men and women that were also contained in the box. 'Oh, dear!' said Amy, afTecting n tone of annov-anee. 'All my Flora's dresses are out of fashion. She must have one of tlic new Talmas before fcho can p) walking again. Won't you paint mc a new dress and cloak for her, if I cut them out?' Nothing could have pleased John, at that time, better than this proposal. Ho went singing ofY up stairs for his paint-box, while Amy tripped away, in the happiest mood possible, to her mother's room, and commenced turn ing over ths things in her work-basket. 'What do vou want there!' the mo ther spoke, in quick, angry tone. Amy startet!, irtvl drew back a step or two from the basket, her face flush ing ami a cloud darkening the pure brow on which th? sunshine rested only a moment before. I want the scissors answered the child. 'Well, vou can't have them. So go away with you! I want to cut some new dresses for my Flora urged the child, again ap proaching the basket, and diving her hand in among the labyrinth of spools. tape, muslin and conl which it con tained. A sudden change had rotne over her feelings; and, in her childish f persistence, she meant to obtaiu the article desired.

'John!' the mother called to him sharply. 'I'm not hurting the bonnet an swered John. Yes he is, mother; ho is bending it all up, and spoiling it It is no such thing, mother re sponded John. 'John! called tlu mother bternlv. Ma'am! '(Jive Amy Iter tloll's bonnet this instant!' There! take the bonnet, yoo. mean, selfish thing!' And John threw the bonnet upon the floor. Mother, he won't give it to me!' called out the now thoroughly exas perated little girl, as she saw the bon net tossed upon the floor. At this the mother threw from her hands the work upon which she was engaged, aud starting up in a passion, came, with a quick step and resolute air, into the room whore her children were in dispute. Didn't I tell vou to give vour sis ter her doll's bonnet! she exclaimed, seizing the now frightened little boy by the arm, and holding him with a tight grip. 'Say, didn't I tell you? What do you mean by such conduct?' And without waiting for an explana tion, she struck him one or two blows. I did. give it to her sai I John, as soon as he could find his voice. 'There it is h ing at her feet now You didn't give it to me; you only threw it at me wai indignantly an swered by Amy. The mother saw that Amy had partly deceived her, and that she had been too quick to punish. You are a naughty, story telling girl!' she said, turning with a new in dignation toward Amy, and raising her hand to punish her also. 13ut something in the aspect of the child stayed the uplifted hand, and the smarting strokes fell not upon the frightened culprit. Xaoghty children' fche 6aiJ, as she regained a little self-possession. Xaughty children, to be always quar reling with one another! I am sur prised, and ashamed of you! What will your father think, when he hears of this? I loir will ho feel when he learns that his little boy and girl have been angry with one- another? It make mc sick and sad to think that my children should act so wickedly!' Very little of a right impression did the mothor'a censuro make upon the minds of her unhappy children, the snnshinc of whose pleasant day her own darkening anger had clouded. They stootl with partly averted faces; dtent, moody, nnd with unkindness in their hearts. Their apparent want of penitence fretted their weak moth er's mind. She looked for or at least required an obedient yielding on their part. She expected them to 'kiss and be frienda again at her word, as if love and kindness were vassals that came and went at another's bidding. But she could not command the sun of love to shine, nor scatter, with a breath of her lip, the shadows that were around their young spirits. I must separate you!' she at length said, with a sternness of voice and manner that showed more of angry in dignation than love. 'Amy, do you go over into my room, and stay there alone, until I call you; and you, John, go off to the garret, and don't let me sec your face until your father comes home. I shall tell him of all tin As if any place would be more agreeable than that in which their mother's presence smote them, the two children, at this command, went quickly away; Amy into her mother's room, and John up into the lonely garret. Both, the instant they wcr entirely alone, abandoned themselves to tears Amy sobbing to herself as if her burdened little heart would break, and John standing still iu the center of the garret floor, with scalding drops falling rapidly over his burning cheeks. To the boy, there was a cruel mystery in the stuhlen change toward him which hi.s sister had manifested. Ho understood that her mother had refused to let her have a pair of scis sors to cut out dresses for her paper dolls, and he could understand how this would fret her mind; but he was too young and unskilled in the philos ophy of mental transition to compre hend how the disappointment should have wrought in her so gieat a change of feeling toward himself, an I caused her to act with selfish unkindness. If John's mother had not punished him, he could have forgiven Amy. But the blows, though felt only for a moment by his shrinking body, still smarted on his spirit as painfully as when they were given in sudden anger. In a little while, the boy's tears ceased to flow. Sitting down on an old chest, and in the shadow of an unhappy mood, he brooded in lone liness and sorrow over the early mys tery of life, and learned one of his first lessons of hate toward those bv whom he felt that he had been wronged. An evil seed had been sown in the earth of his young heart, and already it3 latent principle of life was moving with a vital force. I'll lock up all my picture books he said to himself, spitefully. 'Amy shan't look into one of them again as long as she lives. I wont play with her any more, nor paint another doll's dress for her. I'll throw her kitten from the window, and let her canary out of the cage and I'll bnrn every one ot her playthings that I can put mv hands on' Xow, though John never executed any of these direful threats against his little sister, he ttus really in earn est when he made them, so full of bad feelings was his heart. "Xnd though, on the very next day, ho parsed hours with her in sport, he did not feel right toward her, and was not so willing to yield his wishes for her pleasure as he had been in times past. As for Amy, poor child! She was wretched enough, alono in her moth er's room, when, but for that mother's angry refusal to let her have a pair of in a suppressed voice.

An hour after the mother had pun ished her children, she laid aside her work, and went over to see what Amy was doing. Into some mischief, I'll warrant!' she said to herself, as she though! how very quiet the child had been. But she found her asleep on the floor, with the tears yet undried upon her checks. A sudden tenderness came over her feelings, and lifting the beautiful sleep er in her arm, she laid her upon the lcd, and smoothing back the moist hair from her forehead, stool and looked for some moments into her still sad face. She sighed heavily as the mother's love came rushing back into her heart, and bending down to the little one, she kissed her tenderly. Then a thought of John caused her to turn from the bcxUide and go out into the passag, and np to the third story of the house. Standing at the foot of the garret stairs, she called him and then called once more. But only the echo of her voice camo down to her listening cars. A few hurried steps brought her to the room up to which she hail banished her offending boy. He, too, was asleep, lying upon the old chest, where he had at first seated himself. Hi head was resting upon the hard wood, and the position of his body wa, in all respects, a most uncomfortable one. John!' She laid her hand upon him. The boy started up with a ter rified air. He' had been dreaming of his sister they had quarreled in the dream, and he had struck her a heavy blow on the head with a piece of iron, and seen her fall bleeding upon the floor. At this moment the voice of his mother had awakened him. 'Oh, mother! I didn't mean to do it! he cried, looking fearfully around him. Do what, my child?' was asked in a soothing voice. For a moment or two, John con tinued to glance around him in a be wildered manner, and then said, as he leaned his fare upon his mother, and burst into tears, 'It was only a dream Tenderly his mother drew her aim around him, as she said, in tones of gentle admonition, 'Xaughty feelings bring naughty dreams Ah, if she could have known that for this 'naughty dream' she was re sponsible, and not the child, it might have been better for that child, and for all of her children, in the great future of their lives. Mothers, be patient with your chil dren. "Yrong them not by sudden anger. Mar not the beauty of their young spirit. If they are wont to be angry with one another, to quarrel iu their plays, to have the sunshine of good humor suddenly fade, look close to yourselves, and see if the causo thereof does not lie mainly at your own doors. Of one thing you may be very sure; impatient mothers will have impatient, wrangling, unhappy chil dren. The law of cause and effect is as im mutable in this as is in all other cases. And so wo beg of you, for the sake of your precious children, to receive this lesson in your hearts. t. s. a. i ' The Secret Drawer. From the Atlantic Monthly. At the house of a friend where 1 once passed the night was one of those stately upright cabinet-desks and cases of drawers which were not rare in pros perous families during the last century. It had held the clothes and the books and the papers of generation after gen eration. The hands that opened its drawers had grown withered, shrivel ed, and at last been foldcdin death. The chrildrcn that played with the lower handles had got tall enough to open the desk to reach the upper shelves behind tin folding - doors grown bent after awhile and then followed those who had gone before, and left the old cabinet to be ransack ed by a new generation. A boy of ten or twelve was looking at it a few years ago, and, being a quick-witted fellow, saw that all the fcpace was not accounted for by the smaller drawers in the part beneath the lid of the desk. Prying about with busy eyes and fingers, he at length came upon a spring, on press ing which, a hidden drawer flew from its hiding-place. It had never been opened but by the maker. The ma hogany shavings and dust were lying ! in it as when the artisan closed it and when' I saw it, it was as fresh as if that day finished. Is there not one little drawer in vour soul, mv sweet reader, which no hand but yours has ever opened, and i men an'l many other hands about the which none that have known you seem ; boat, were tinged with that blood to have suspected? What does it j which has brought the direct of curses hohl? A sin?

This shows a fear of public romes to life again and begins to stir opinion, or a relenting ot the human in our ronsrioosn.a as thn drv wbp.d. heart. Lven the ladies who were so ... " J Xew Orleans, Feb. 27, b0. Dr.An Garrison: I promised to send you a thought, from time to time, as I made my way through the soft and genial climate cf the South, a time and place should give rise to one. But were I to give you a tithe of the thoughts, the deep stirring, bitter thoughts that arc continually spring ing into my brain, and asking utter ance, 1 bhould have time for nothing else, nar, not ven to mark the facts as they rise before me. Frank Blair tells you that emanci pation has begun in Missouri, and he tells vou truth. That is, Missouri is being emancipated. But, alas! while the country is shaking off its burth ens, its people are fastening the chains of bondage more powerfully upon the limbs cf the departing slaves. On the boat that bore tue down the great "Father of Waters' were a number of the dark-checked children of Mis souri, sent away by their masters to be sold to Southern planters. They were very still and gloomy all the way down. Xow and then, as the little children gathered about them, and gambolled in their glee, they would smile a faint, sad smile, that made the heart ache. There were seven young girls in the lower cabin or wash-room, going awav from home and friends from parents, brothers and sisters perhaps from love. One wept nearly all the time. I tried to draw from her the especial cause of her sorrow, but she gave me no satisfaction. The special cause f What could there be more terrible than the plain and horri ble fact she was a slave; a slave, to be bought and sold like a beast! There were several little girls in the ladies cabin, children of the first fam ilies, no doubt; but I noticed that their mothers had not the slightest objec tion to their associating with the "darkies (as they facetiously called them.) They eat in their laps, pla'ed, talked with, and ate with them these girls, some of them boarding-school misses. But when a ladv came on.' board at Memphis with a dark-skinned boy, and set him down to eit by her side at the dinner-table, there was a terrible quaking among the fair ones lest, possibly, he might not be one of them. AY hat a commotion there was ! "Xow, if he is a darkey said one, "I tell you that woman ought to be put o(T the boat." "I can't believe he is," said anoth er; "she would not be so mean." "I mean to ask her any how' as serted a third. "If ho ain't a nigger," whispered the fourth, "he is real handsome' "And so polite," said a fifth. "That's just what makes mc think he H," chimed in a sixth; "no white boy has them manners." So they whispered and gossipped, until the unconscious objects of all this flutter among the fowls had finished their breakfast, and come back into our midst. The bright, merry boy walked on out upon the guards, and the lady, with her babe, sat down by the fire. "Is that ere boy a travelling 'long o you?" asked an Arkansas madamc, who had four slaves and two daughters on board. "He is traveling with me, ma'am. He has been up to Memphis to school, and I am taking him down to his mother at Vicksburg." All right! The boy that could not bo told from a darkey was highly res pectable ever after, and the lady had no straw laid in her path. The steward of our boat, all the waiters at the table, all the wash-wo- moaer, and offered her freedom; but j improvements iu our cngins and cars, the gill would not go. Of course not, The old favorite locomotive. Alcohol, loved and trusted thus; and thU they! has a fire-chamber of double capacity. and patent driving-wheels, after tho fashion of old Juggernaut. Our wiu9 take as evidence of tlwir goodnc. of heart, which prompts them to give back an hundred fold the favors they; cars ate model of luxurious convey have received. This is the phase of slarery that travellers see, as they, pass up and down this great river, that carries the muddy waters to the ea; and they tell us of 'well-treated slaves" as if a slave could be well-treated! Were ance, aftrr the pattern of th far famed London gin-palace, where la dies and gentlcir.cn cf the find ruter can have all attention. To keep up with the .pirit of the times, our whis ky, mm, and brandy car hare been greatly enlarged, and fare reduced to you, reader, fed and clothed l!4c the; half-price.

Never! I have lived for years iu a slave State, ami 1 have never seen a black man or woman struck a blow. But do I not know that they are beaten? do I not kuow that they arc wronged? do I not know that the mass of them are not permitted to lift themselves above the brute that is often advertised for sale in the same paragraph with themselves? I see often the well-dressi d, gny, dashing black girl; she seems as happy as can be; but I see behind her the slave driver, with his manacles and his whips, ready to march her ut a mo ment's warning, to the steamer or the slave-pen, to pay swn debt, per chance, of a debauchee master. I see her torn from her lover, separated from her husband, outraged a:d trampled upon; and shall I, because I see her apparently gay and happy to-day, shut : my eyes to all these horrors, and say she is better off than the Xew Eng land maiden who toils in the factory, or the Irish girl in the kitchen who la bors for her own broad? Xo amount of jewels hung in the cars, no display of cast-off finery from the mistress's wardrobe, no senseless mirth, can dis guise the hideous form of Slavery, nor shut my ears to the wailing cry of the crushed and degraded spirit that is willing to accept these things in lieu of the priceless boon of liberty. But, as the great Mississippi, in its onward sweep to the South, is contin-! ually wearing away the banks and j widening its channel, at the same time carrying away the filth and garbage of its banks, so is public feeling wash ing away old prejudices and wearing away wrongs; and as God liveth, the time must come when these things shall not be. There is a great gain in moral sentiment when vice is com pelled to cover itself with a mantle in company, and there is a vast difference in the sights and sounds iince I trav eled in this region years ago. The Legrecs dare not obtrude themselves upon the notice of the traveling public now. Then the blustering authority, the imoeritivc tone and manner, and the display of power, were things to be proud of, and awed the simple ones who looked on into silence. Then a bold expression of opinion would have almost raised a mob. Now the slavo crats keep silence, and the anti-slavo-crats (they arc not quite anti-slavery yet) carry the dar. And were you here, friend Garrison, you would be glad even to see the white man as serting his own right to rani his own bread by the sweat of his own face; for when a man comes to that comes to appreciate himself he will learn somewhat of the rights of otheis, and at last, perchance, if he lives long beer ears are exciting great attention among the children.

If you wish any thing like liHppyness in the fifth act of life, you should pay more attention to the amount von eat and drink. Did I ever tell vou my calculation about eat ing nnd drinking? Having ascertained the weight of what I did live upon, I found that, between ten and seventy years of age, I had eaten and drank 44 one horse wagon loads of meat and drank more than would have pre served mc in life and health. Th value of this mass of nourishment is considered to be woi th 7,000 bterl ing. It occurred to me that I must have starved to death more than hundred.
