Secret Band of Brothers. in manner from which
there was no escape. They are ever on the look
o,it for any individual who has forfeited his char
acter, and who promises by his ingenuity or dex-
terity to be fit tool for their purposes. Their
agents are to be found in 1.-THE professions in the
lnagstracy, and in the prisons and penitentiaries,
sometimes under the veil Of hypocrisy, assuming
fair exterior at the time they are engaged in all
manner of villany; at other times, when their in
fluence in any place is in the ascendancy openly
showing their real character. Men can be found
in many of our towns so notorionsly prohigate,
that not one individual in the place could be found
that would say they were honest men, yet through
solicitation, party spirit, and sometimes through
fear they are elected to official stations. 1t is one
of the leading objects of the Secret Band, TO have
as many Of the brotherhood in the magisracy as
possible, and neither money nor opportunity are
spared to effect their object. They know what
they are about; they are too sagacious to suppose

When next our young hero came into the
presence of his bencfactor his appearance was
certainly altered for the better, though no
disadvantages of dress could rob his noble
countenance of its lofty expression. Mr.
Cavendish had previously made arrangements
for him to become an inmate of his own house
and had also entered his name as pupil IN a
neighboring school,
John Williams is now receiving liberal
education and enjoying all the advantages
which wealth can procure. Such sudden
change of position and prospects would IN
many instances prove injurious to the moral
character but with a mind based upon the
solid principles which our young friend pos
sesses, little fear may be entertained that such
will be the result.
