LEAD US not into Temptation.

Law, though framed for the protection
ofsociety, for the individual benefit of its
members, often admits of a construction ad-
verse to the designs of it's legislators and,
in its application, frequently defeats the OBJ
iect which it was intended to sustain We
have however, numerous instances wherein
honest juries have given their verdicts COM
formable to the prOmptings of justice and,
happily, when such decisions have not been
too widely different from the expressed rule,
they have escaped from the appeal.
We take pleasure in relating an incident,
which greatly enlisted our sympathies, held
US spell-bound by its interest, and finally
made our heart leap with JOY at its happy
termination.
In the spring of 184- we chanced to be
spending few days in beautiful inland
country town in Pennsylvania. 1t was court
week, and to relieve US from the somewhat
monotonous incidents of village life, we
stepped into the room where the court had
convened
Among the prisoners in the box, we saw
a lad but ten years of age, and whose sad
and pensive countenance, his young and In
nocent appearance, caused him to look sad
ly out of place among the hardened crimi
nails by whom he was surrounded. Clost
by the box, and manifesting the creates
interest in the proceedings, sat a fearful wo
man, whose anxious glance from the ejudg
to the boy. left US no room to doubt that i
was the mother. We turned with sadnes
from the scene to inquire of the offence 0
the prisoner, and learned he was accused 0
stealing money.
The case was soon commenced, and b
the interest manifested by that large CROWD
we found that our heart was not the onl
one in which sympathy for the lad existed
How we pitied him The bright smile ha
vanished from his face, and now it more ez
pressed the cares of the aged. His youn
sister--a bright.eyed girl-had gained ad
mission to his side, and cheered him wit
the whisperings of hope. But that swet
voice, which before caused his heart
bound with happiness, added only to tt
grief his shame had brought him.
The progress of the cause acquainted
with the circumstances Of the loss, the e.
tent of which was but dime-no more
The lads employer, wealthy, miserl
unprincipled manufacturer, had made u
of it, for the purpose of what he callc
testing the boys honesty 1t was plac'
where. from its very position the lad wou
oftenest see it, and least suspect the ira
A day passed, and the master, to his mt
tifcation and chagrin, found the coin u
touched. Another day passed and yet
object was not gained. He was, howevt
| determined that the boy should take it, a
: so let it remain.
, This continued temptation was too mu
j for the lads resistance, The dime was

The experiment of moral suason. That did
much. 1t checked for the time the grow h

\ thousands from luin. But there is point
beyond which moral suasion is poWeIle-s, and
when that point was attained, men began to
inquire whether something more could not
be done to save the country from the e,ils
that lay bel ond the reach Of u,ere NOR i and
persuasive efforts. The idea Of prohiIirory
law was suggested, one that should strike al
