: ter News had been received there that the mar
o ty Were coming, and they were watched. The,
0 were seen to do these things and though it wa,
too dark to distinguish faces at the time, vet al
who were at Mac Wayne were known, and the,
I had been traced to their mischief
That very evening the whole party, fourteen
in number, were arraigned before justice, ant
e the complaint was entered against them Poo
Cooper pleaded that he had nothing to do witt
the work, and while tears rolled down his cheek:
: he asserted his innocence.

Yes sir hes;tatingly answered Cooper.
And you have known their character for mis-
chief and disturbancel'
Yes sir bat T.

After this. the justice Went on to speak of the
many wicked deeds which had been done IN
times past, and which, for the sake OF the friends
OF the Perpctrators, had been passed over; Blu.
the thing could not be overlooked now The

Each OF them was required to give bail in the
sum of one hundred dollars Nathan Wilder he
came bail for Cooper, and the others found bali
: among their friends.
That night Nathan went home a wiser man.
and III his heart he thanked Mr. Clark for the
counsel he had given Joseph Cooper went
nome wiser, too, but he was miserable and un.
happy. He aow saw what evil company had
done for him, aud he wished that he had been
wise before.
Within week, eleven ofthe guilty party went
ana saw the people whose property had been
abused, and not only confessed their error, and
offered to make peeuniary restitution, but they
alsa9nplored forgiveness and promised to do SO
no more The consequence was that at the ne xt
term ofthc court no complaint appeared against
the contrlte youths reonly three ringieadcrs-
three low, reckless, hardened youths-were tried
anu We're sentenced to one years imprisonment
in the county Jail.
1t was good lesson to many youth in that
town. and from that time forth there were no
more such disturbances of the peace and iniurinp
OF property; fer tile more virtuous of the youths
had learned how dangerous it was 10 be found in
4 oad company'and had consequently withdrawn
from all connection with each, W lille the few who
were evil in mind and wish dared not 90 alone
upon any such work, having lost the respectable
CLOAK which the presence OF decent people had
formerly thrown over their deeds.
In time Nathan Wilder became the husband
OF Mabel, and a partner IN busine SIS with Mr.
Clark. He Is now a middle aged man. and i,asl
family OF noble children, and no lesson of socia
iite does he urge more strongly upon his children
than the simple TRUTH 4 man is kao,cn by the
company he Keeps"
