Without extending the conversation, Hen

into grog shop again
Early IN the morning, as he was passing
down the street to his shop, he met the re-
taller, who sold his companion the spirit
the night previous.
"Ah, my little fellow" said he, s1I was
much pleased with you last night, and
should be happy to have you call on me
again. That Charles Bedford is a capital
fellow. Follow his advice, and you'll
make something"
Henry made but word in reply, and en-
tered upon his duties at the shop All that
day ne said but few words, while Charles
appeared to be as cheerful as lark. He
felt ne had taken wrong step, and diso-
beyed kind mother, and he was unhappy.
But, by associating constantly with
Charles, the idea that it was wrong to drink
a little spirit occasionally gradually wore
away, and he objected less to go into the
retailers shops. With his companion, Hen
ry denounced the temperance people as fa-
natical, and was as earnest in condemnine
their course as any Of his associates. He
now preferred the company Of the profane
and drinking to the steady and industrious
and often absented himself from church on
the Sabbath. So much for the influence
and bad example of a companion. His pa
rents noticed the change in their son, and
enreated him to keep aloof from bad asso-
ciates; but they knew not the extent of his
departures from their precepts
