For the Grand River Times,

Mr.. EDITOR If you deem the following
communication, will subserve the cause of truth
and honesty, and hence of human happiness,
please publish it and if by it single mind
shall be encouraged to do right, and thus be
happy, our labor will not have been in vain.-
1t is no sketch from the fancy, but an unvarnsh-
ed narration of facts.
Some half dozen men were one summers
afternoon together, when one of the number
shall call Clark, offered to sell his watch TO
one Barton.
Clark, who was somewhat Of sharper and
backleg, recommended his watch rs an excel
lent time piece, and endeavorcd to induce Bar
ton, who was acquainted with its value, to pur-
chase it at price far above its worth.
Barton was young man of good principles,
of unblemished integrity, and who sought by
never utiering lie, always to be believed.
He was ambitious TO make money, and earn
est in It's acquisition; but possessed of high
moral sentiments and a quick conscience, he
wished for no dollars that could make his dying
pillow uneasy.
On this occasion, his first thought was to pun
ish Clark, for attempting to cheat him with the
watch; though almost simultaneously, the idea
Of making something out of him, seized upon
his mind, and his plan was formed quick as
thought.
He held an old note against Henry Sanders,
an old man who was entirely worthless. His
son, Henry Sanders, Jr, was in good circum.
stances and perfectly responsible. Charles
Sanders, another son, was present
Barton soon inquired of Charles Sanders, if
a note against his brother Henry, was good.
Charles, surprised at such question about
his brother, answered he supposed it was!"
Before long, Clark renewed his proposition to
sell the watch. Barton said he wanted a watch
but did not wish to pay money for it; if he
could pay with some note he had he should like
to buy; had a note against Henry Sanders, bu
it was larger than the price of the watch; il
Clark was n mind TO take it, and pay the differ
euce he would give him his price for the watch
Clark said he could not spare the money. Bar
ton then offered to take his note for the balance
which was finally agreed to, Clark signed lh,
note, which Barton, with q nervous hand quick
4 ~ drew; the former meantime examining Hen
ry Sanders note, but too intent on his game
to notice that it was four years old, nor did h'
! think of the note being any other than Henr,
: Sanders, Jr., Barton assuring him nothing hat
been paid on it, which was true.
Clark went home boasting how he had lait
out Barton; said he did not think him so greer
|, about watches.
Barton did not feel quite easy, but excuse,
the act to himself, by thinking he had only pun
shed Clark for trying 10 cheat him; the amour
lie had made in the operation was only incident
al, not the motive which prompted it; and if tn
bitter got bit, it was his own fault.
But ere he sought his pillow, when on bend
ed knee he craved bis Makers pardon, for a

GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2s 1853

the eye of Purity had that day beheld amiss in
his actions, the watch trade bore heavy on his
mind, and that prayer gave him no relief. The
next day he resolved to offer the note he had
taken, for the one he had let go, but to retain
the watch; which he did the first time he met
Clark, who gladly accepted the offer, having
found by this time that he had been sold, which
he acknowledged was handsomely done.
Still Barton's mind was i'll at ease; he almost
wished he bad not made the trade; and was re-
solved never to do so again.
The Sabbath came, and as he was won't to
do, he sought the sanctuary, and prayed that no
worldly cares, or distracting thoughts, should
that day divert his mind from the worship of
Almighty God; but his prayer was unanswered,
for the watch trade troubled him.
At length like the young man in the parable
he came to HIMSELF and thus he reasoned:
"This is the first dishonest act have re-
the watch, shall not be weaker to resist the
next temptation? Will not vice triumph and
virtue be weakened Yes! if do not return
this watch, my love of gain will be strengthened
and my honesty diminished. This is the turn
ing point of my destiny. Good and evil seem
equally balanced, whichever now trumphs, will
hereafter have the ascendancy. what shall it
profit man if he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?' | will return the watch
From this moment he was himself again. He
returned the watch the first opportunity, and it
is hardly necessary to say, has never regretted
the course he then pursued; and when all earth
ly wealth must be left behind, the consciousness
of rectitude, will be an ever enduring treasure.

WISHING.
by JOHN G. SAKE.


OF all amusements for the mind,
From logic down TO fishing,
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as "wishingw
A very choice diversion, too,
If we but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
wsh-a common wish indeed
My purse was something fatter,
That might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to fiatter;
That might make oppression reel,
AS only gold can make it,
And Break the tyrants rod of steel,
AS only gold can break it!
wish-that Symathy and Love,
And every human passion
That has its origin above,
Would come, and keep in fashion;
That Scorn, and Jealousy and Hate,
And every base emotion,
We're buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean!
wish-that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
Iwish the good were not so few,
l wish the bad were fewer,
wish that parsons neer forgot
To heed their pious teachings;
wish that practising was not
So different from preaching.
Iwsh-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
l wish that innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
wish that men their vows would mind,
That women ne'er were rovers;
wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers
wsh-in fine-that JOY and mirth,
And every good Ideal,
May come, erewhile, throughout the earth,
To the glorious Real:
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing!
