CHARAcrER.-A niisste5 may destroy
life. One sin may ruin YOUR character.
Did you ever reflect on the consequence of
a single indulgence in vice? The best men
have fallen through the suggestion Of ano-
ther. How careful you should be whiie
in the freshness of your days, lest blight
faIl on you forever. II invited 70 places Of
re sort, where it is difficul:: TO decide. take
the safe course, stay away, and save your
reputation.
This is jewel Of iue=;in6able value. too
precious to be put in jeopardy. No maj
ever regrets thai he kept aloof from tempt
alion, anil to the close Of life be expresses
his jov that he was saved from the path Of
shame, by giving decisive negative. when
the voice Of pleasure beekoned him on. Bs

may be lost. Watch with diligence, and
guard every arenue through which sin
may reach you. In no other way viii you

STORY OF SISTER MARTHA.
FROM TIE FRENCH,

Remember that if the hundred crowns
arrears Of rent on your farm are not paid
before tomorrow evening you nsWst turn
out; / have solvent tenant ready TO take
possession So saying, a stern-looking
man dressed in brown, walked quickly out
of cottage in the pretty village of Tho
raise. near Besangon.
'Oh, sir!' said woman, following him
'snd clasping her hands, have pity on my
poor husband, who has been i'll all the sum
NOR, and who is still
Il should have no objection, Madame
Biget,' said the steward: but il docs not
rest with mo. My lord is now absent, but
he win be here to-day or tomorrow; my
accounts must be all squared and ready for
inspection. ! am not going to lose my
situation for your convenience, Madame
Biget 50 you must manage the best way
you cam ,e.,
'Ah me!' exclaimed the poor woman
raising her eyes appealingly towards
heaven; have no hope then left from
man. s@
Re-entering the cottage, she opened a
cupboard and took out piece of brown
bread, 'Martha,' she said. addressing a
child often years old, there is your break
fast, my child; Ihave neither 'milk nor but
ter to give you to-day
'0h, mammal that does not signify; but
why do you look so sad9'
Don't ask me child, but make hasts tc
eat your bread. Your aunt at Besangon
has sent you and your brothers and sister
"a nice cake apiece; l wish you to take
them theirs to school,
'0h, thank you, mamma; and if you
will allow me, / will 60 at once, and keep
nay cake and my bread to eat with them
whenwe are all together fl : s.
Her mother gave her leave; and Martha,
with her little basket on her arm, was soou
tripping gaily along the road.
1t was fine morningin October, l847,
and as little Martha went on her way,
she saw vast cloud of dust advancing
Presently a large party of dragons ap'
peared, followed by large number o
men on foot, dressed in uniform but nm
armed. The ci;id stepped on The road
close to the hedge, and, as the party passed
by her, she heard low sigh, and saw tha
one ofthe prisoners Of war, for such they
uvcre, had fallen on tho ground. He look
,ed as pale as death, and his eyes were clos.
