The dutchess die4far from Madrid, ac aachateau which had always been her favorite-residence. She was buried in the family vault; and, as is the custOmt of the- 3panislT nobility, several valuables,¿imQng others her rings, were pul into the coffin. The treasures which had been left to oblivion with the duchess aroused 'the' cupidity of somefuf- flans ;• they brdke-into the vault on thedight following the'funeral, robbed the dead woman,' and .would not leave the coffin till they .had plucked a^fliishiug diamond’ from the.finger of the corpse, Thefiiainond’ was'on tiie litue ¿n- [ker and would not come -oft\. This gave the uoay snatchers the truly cannibal idea of cutting theliriger.. The pain arohsed tlie _a];pai'unt]y dead -Woman; she came to her senses, sat up-in the coffin, and, by her unexpected Wakening; put the robbers to flight. When they departed they forget to close-the door of the vault.

He moved ori- ward,’ but at a slow pace. “ You, Tom !- is that doing as I or dered? Is.tli.ati going quickly ?” calleli tho father, when he saw the boy creep ing'away. “ If you are not'back-iu half an hour I will punish yon.” „ But the words,had little effect. The v boy’s feelings were hifft by the; nn- kinjduess of the parent;!he experienc ed 'a sense ot’Jnj¿slice, a] consciousness that wrong had been done to him. By nature he was like his father, proud arid stubborn ; and- these-'qualities of his mind were aroused, and he injdulg- eddn them, less of consequence. , - . “ I never saw\ such a boy,'’ said tlie. father, speaking to a friend who ob served the pocunVuce. “ My words scarcely made au impression ou him.” “ Kind words often prove most pow erful,” said the friend. IThe father looked surprised. ‘‘Kind words,” conliiiued the friend, “ áre like the gentle rain, the refresh ing dews; but harsh words beud and break like the angry tempest^ The first-develop and Strengthen good affec tions, while' the others sweep over tlie heartjn devastation, and mar and de form all they touch. Try him with kind words—they will prove a hund red fold more powerful.” 1 The parent seemed hurt by the re proof, but, it lett-him thooghjiful. Ari hour passed away ere hi.s boy returned. At times during his absence he was angry at t.he delay ; but the words*-of remonstrance were in his ears, and he x*esolved to obey them. At last the lad came slowly in'; with a cloudy countenance,- and reported' the result of his errand. Having stay ed far beyond Jiis time, he looked for punishment, and was prepared to rer ceive it with an angry defiance. ' *• To his surprise, after delivering the message he hacHbTought, his father, instead of angry/reproof and-punish ment, said kindjy, “ Very welly^my son, you can go out to play again.”’ The boy went dul, but was not hap py. He*nad d’sobeyed and diso.bliged his father, and the thought of this troubled him. Harsh words, had not clouded his mind,! nor aroused a spirit, of reckless anger. Instead of joining his companions be went and sat down by himself grieving over his act of disobedience. Wfliile he tlius sat he heard his name bailee!. “ Thomas, my son,?’ said^his father kindly. The b.dy.sprang to his feet, and was soon beside his parent. ) “ Did you call,!father?” “Y did, iny son. Will you take this package to-Mr. Long for me ?” There was no hesitation in the, boy’s manner;- lie looked pleased at the thought of doing.his' father a serv ice, and reached out his hand for th;e package.' On receiving it .he bounded away with a light step. “ There is power iu kindness,” said the father, as be sat musing after, the lad’s.departure. • | Arid even while.lie sat musing over the incident, the boy came back with a cheerful, happy face, and said : “ Can I do anything else for you, father ?” , * Yesjthere is a power o f kiudneas.
