Truthfulness.

Ofall happy households, that is the hap
piest where falsehood is never thought Of
All peace is broken up when once it apr
pears that there is liar in the house. All
comfort is gone when suspicion has once
entered-wheh there must be reserve in
talk, and reservation in belief Anxious
parents, who are aware Of the pains of
suspicion, will place generous confidence
in their cRildfeh, and receive what they
say freely, unless there is strong reason to
doubt the truth of any one. ifsuch an
occasion should unhappily arise, they
must keep the suspicion from spreading as
long as possible; and avoid disgracing
their poor child While there is any chance
of his cure by their confidential assistance.
He should have their pity and assiduous
help, as if he were suffering under some
disgusting bodily disorder. If he can be
cured, he will become duly grateful for the
treatment. If the endeavor fails means
must of course be taken to prevent his ex.
ample doing harm; and then, as said, the
family peace is broken up, because the
family confidence is gone. fear that, for
some cause or another, there are but few
large families where every MEMBER is al
together truthful, SOME who are not NOR
ally guilty. are Intellectually incapable Of
accuracy. But where all are SO organiz-
ed and SO trained as to be wholly reliable
in act and word, they are light to all
eyes, and a joy to all hearts. They are
a public benefit, for they are point of
general reliance; and they are privately
blessed within and without. Without, their
life is made easy by universal trust; and
within their homes and their hearts they
have the security of rectitude, and the
gladness of innocence. If we do bat in.
woke wisdom, she will come and multiply
such homes in our land.

CHAPTER iii

At the hour appointed on the following
day, the little family of Mr.. Harding were
gathered together at their humble abode.
Julia was there, ready to explain the mys-
terry, and her parents and little William
were anxiously waiting for the moment to
arrive when their curiosity was to'be graf
flied.
"You are expecting some one julia
said the old man.
"Yes, SIR"
"Who?"
"You will soon learn. can only tell
you that it is one to whom we all owe
much-"
"He who has helped to provide us with
the comforts we have enjoyed Of late!"
"The same"
At that moment the door bell rang, and
Julia, very much agitated, hastened to ad.
NIT the visitor. But little William was al
the door before her, and to the surprise Of
her parents, he returned almost immedi-
ately, accompanied by Henry Maxwell!
Feeble as Mr.. Harding was he sprang
to his feet, and grasped Henry's hand
warmly. ,e- -.
at is you, then!" he cried with emo
tion-''it is you that have been a friend to
us in our misfortunes. As soon as you
knew ofour extremity, you nobly came to
our assistance-paid our rent"
"Do not mention it, interrupted Henry,
with an air of modesty.
"YoG do not deny it," pursued Mr..
Harding. "No, you admit it. And you
have since done more for us than / could
have expected from son!''
Henry Maxwell was bowling and STAN!
ndering, scarcely audacious enough TO ad-
mt all the old man said, and unwilling to
undeceive him, when he was startled by a
soft voice beside him.

Apprenticeship.

One Of the most serious obstacles to the
progress of the Mechanic Arts, among us,
is the brief and irregular apprenticeship
served. No greater mistake can be made
than to suppose that a trade can be acquir-
ed in few months. Without the instruc.
ton, practice and discipline ofa regular
apprenticeship, no one can become so
good a mechanic as he is capable ofbe-
coming. 1t is true that one who has good
mechanical talents may in short time
get limited and superficial knowledge
of a trade, and be able to do plain job
in bungling way. But such person has
no right to the proud title of"Mechanic."
Besides, he must always labor under great
disadvantages. His work will never COM
maud high prices, nor will he find ready
and constant employment, unless there is
a great scarcity of workmen in his partc-
ular business. Our standard ofqualifca-
ton for Mechanics needs elevating. Un.
til this is done we shall have bunglers in.
stead Of workmen. While so few of our
Mechanics can do first-rate work, our peo-
pie will 60 to the North and to Europe for
their manufactures, machinery, &c. All
our talk about encouraging homie industry
and talent, dependence upon ourselves,
&c, will amount to just nothing at all.
Nothing need now to be more strenu-
ously urged than that, among all classes
of Mechanics, full and regular appren-
ticeship be in all cases insisted upon. JUS
tice to the apprentice, to the master and to
the public requires this. And it is the die
tate of policy as well as ofjustice. Moth
ing short of this will insure to the appren-
tice such knowledge Of his business as
will fit him to undertake business on his
own account; nothing short ofthis will give
the employer proper remuneration for
his instruction; nothing short Of this will
give character and standing to us as a
class.
In Germany, the young man is not only
required to serve regular apprenticeship,
but he is then required to travel three years,
through the principal cities and towns Of
his country, laboring awhile in each to pay
the expenses of his journey, and to give
him knowledge of all the new discove-
ries, inventions and Improvements in his
trade. Thus he becomes a thorough Me-
chanic. For this reason we never see
bungling workman from Germany. No
Mechanic is allowed to become master,
or boss, there, unless he can show speci-

"Father!"
They looked up-Mr. Harding, his wife,
little William, and the rejected suitor.
Henry Maxwell.
Julia stood before them; her features
surprising lovely, covered as they were
with bushes, smiles and tears; and in her
trembling hand she held the hand of a tall,
dark, manly stranger; who cast serene
yet anxious look about him as he entered.
Has not the reader recognized the
young man introduced at the opening of
our story? 1t was, the same!
"Father," repeated Julia, "this is the
man to whose generosity you are indebt-
ed! This is he who first paid your rent,
Unknown even to ME, and afterwards, hav-
ing sought an interview with me, provided
me with the means to supply us with the
necessaries and comforts of life. Do you
not know him, father! 1t is Theodore
Allston!''
The old man looked at him for mo-
ment, while the tears ran down his cheeks,
but uttered not word, until Theodore
and Julia asked his benediction.
"Theodore!-Julia!-my children!" he
sobbed and drew them together to his bo-
som.
When the excess of emotion had subsi-
ded, and the young and happy pair had
received the mothers blessing Henry Max
well, beginning to feel exceedingly uneasy,
skunk from the house, never to enter the
presence Of Julia or her family again.
Then was there scene of a nature it
seldom falls to the lot of man to witness;
such as never fails to improve the heart by
the holy influence it sheds around; such as
brings tear ofsympathetic joy. Strange
contrast! There was smile on every lip
and a tear in every eye
For Theodore, the noble, the spirited,
the generous and true-Theodore had re-
turned! Not with all the riches the In.
dies in his possession; but with compo-
tency procured as much through industry
and probity as the favors offortune, and
| with the same true heart and noble soul
which long before had won the love ofJulia.
When we hear of two such hearts as
Theodora's and Julia 's-hearts that have
stood the test OF absence; that have been
tried by the world and changed not; that
have loved each other Notwithstanding the
opposition offriends and the allurefnents
of newer objects; and that have been at
length, after years Of separation, returned
to each other with all the purity and fresh
ness of earlier age, when we hear of two
such hearts, | say, we need not be told
that there is truth, and depth, and endur.
ance to their affection, never to be destroy
ed.
And Julia became the bride of her own
Theodore, who took her, with her parents,
to home he had provided for them, and
devoted himselfhenceforward to prove his
gratitude to Mr.. Harding, for what he had
done for him in his boyhood, when he was
a friendless orphan, and to promote the
happiness of his young and lovely wife.

Love OF NArURE.-He who has a love
for nature can never be alone. In the
shells he picks up on the shore--in the
leaf fading at his feet-in the grain of
sand and morning dew--he sees enough
to employ his mind for hours--such mind
is never idle. He studies the works of his
Maker which he sees-all around him. and
finds a pleasure Of which the devotee Of
sin and folly can form no conception.

CHAPTER II.

When the boy, whom the worldly man
dismissed SO harshly from his presence,
had reached the street, he brushed away
the tears that gushed so freely from his
heart, and fastened back to carry the mes
sage to his father. Having reached home,
he hesitated before entering, fearing in the
goodness of his young and untried heart,
the effect his errand might have upon his
invalid parent; but, at length, summoning
his resolution, he passed quickly in, and
stood, pale and shivering, in the presence
Of his family. Ia, sF
He was in, a small, but neat and COM
Portable apartment, scandy furnished, yet
not without some manifestations of taste.
Near the fire sat an elderly man in a chair,
his eyes closed as if in sleep: He was
paler than even the boy himself, and his
effaciated hmbs and sunken cheeks show
ed the unmistakeable traces ofdisease and
care. lnt s.,etis.I.s,@ Is fesbt,
This was the father Of the boy. His
mother sat near--a patient, care-worn wo-
man, in humble but neat attire, who occa-
sionally raised her eyes from her work to
her husbands face, as ifher Joy, and sor-
row were centered in him. At Mrs. Har-

Moss.

The humble and apparently insignif-
cant Moss is an active agent in some of
the most important changes of nature
By its great ABSORPTION ofmoisture, its de-
cay and subsequent revival in succession,
the hardest rock, upon which not even
blade of grass could grow, becomes COW
cred in the course of years with stratum
of fertile soil, supporting the most luxuri-
ant trees AT first little dust is blown in
to the interstices of the rock, into which
are also driven by the winds some of the
moss from less sterile spot. Here they
yegetate, and the hitherto naked rock be-
comes covered with pretty green tufts,
which spreading wider and wider every
year, its whole surface is at length cover
ed with the smiling carpet of nature.
The continual growth and decay of the
moss and other small plants, gradually in
crease the thickness ofthe stratum, thus
sustaining larger plants, the seeds ofwhich
are borne from all quarters by the wealth
er; the rotting of these plants continues to
add to the soil, till at last are seen to -four
ish the noblest trees of the forest.
Thus the hard and barren rock is made
to abound in the richest products aid the
grandest vegetation; and thus are the san
dy heaths and desert plains converted into
verdant and fruitful fields.
On the tops of the highest hills and
mountains, the MOSES attract the moisture
from the clouds, which trickling through
every crevace, to find its way to the lowest
place, aocumulates and forms Cascades
and brooks, which again uniting, swell
into the largest rivers.
These waters flowing into the sea, are
dgain raised by the influence ofthe sun s.
rays, and form clouds, again to be en-
ployed in fertilizing and refreshing the
earth. Such is the admirable and unceas
ing process of fnature.--Sci. american.

SYMPATHY.-1t is a mistaken idea that
manliness and stoicism are inseparable-
that tender regard for the feelings and in
terests of others is weak and unmanly. A
heart insensible to sympathy claims great
er affinity to the brute than to man. Show
me the man is regardless of the feelings.

to drop with his brother in misfortune or
guilt; stranger TO sympathy with heart
he has thoughtlessly wounded, reckless

or family peace; who lives for self, and
confines his sympathies within the boun-.
dares of his own success, and will show
you such a man as is calculated to- Grim

fellows almost to forget the divinity oftheir
original, in the enormity and deformity of
inglorious prostitution.
