SHALL was divers reply, as his compan-
ion turned away.
The two youths had supposed that
their conversation was heard only by
themselves; but they were mistaken in
this, They had stood By the door of the
counting room, and Mr. Rushton was
within, though he hsd not yet lighted
the gas. He had started for that pur-
pose when the first request of Albert Ry-
der was made. A natural desire to hear
what would be his young clerks reply in
dueed him to listen. SO he had heard
the whole and he was not sorry.
Elisha Rushton was good and true
man, caring nothing for opinions which
sound reason would not sustain, and
ready to do all the good which lay in his
power. Once he had been in the habit
of trying to overlook the moral charac-
ters of his clerks, and of advising with
them, and Offering them assistance in the
path of Right. But he had only receiv-
ed the title of meddler for his first eff
forts, and had been imposed upon in his
second. So now he had established this
one rule: He would give no advice which h
was not asked, unless he saw youth in
immediate danger; and all his clerks
knew that any extended irregularity
would be the sure signal for their dis
charge.
For three months after the conversa-
tion took place between Oliver and AL
bert the former was watched by his en-
ployer very narrowly. There seemed to
be subject of more than ordinary i'm
port occupying his thoughts; for some
times, when he could gaze unnoticed up
on the handsome, happy, hcalthful face
of Oliver, he would sit for half an hour
without once removing his eyes from the
object of interest
One evening, as Oliver sat alone in his
chamber, the servant-girl came and in-
formed him that gentleman wished to
come up aud gee him. The youth bade
her to show him up; and in few min
utes afterwards he was not little sur
prised upon seeing his employer--the
welthy merchant himself - enter his
room.

names on gravestones," early gathered

acquainted with any one who did not
defend slaveholding. She has a sister,
a person of exceeding beauty--indced,

have no fortune but negroes, who have
been hired out, and upon whose wages
they have always lived. Her mother
died before she can remember, and her
father then married Louisiana lady,
owner of large plantation-and died
there. His little girls were left at their
grandfather in Kentucky. lie was a
kind-hearted old gentleman, whose con-
science, however, never told him that
he had no right to live on the labor of
slaves. Matte, like all southern chill

she was but five years old, she was stand

another plantation, had been sold to 20

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She Is, uodesk but not bashMl,
Free and eaAy, but not bold,
Like an apple, ripe and msllow,
Not too young and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing and now shy
There is mischief in her dimplc,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature
She is schooled in all her arts
She has taken her diploma,
As the mistress of'all hearts.
Che can tell the very moment
When TO sigh and when to smile

But the widow all the while.
Are you sad? how very serious
Will her handsome fac. become;
Are you angry? she is wretched,
Lonely, triendless, fearful, dumb;
Are you mirthful? how her laughter,
Silver-sounding vii! ring out;
She can lure and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise ;
Young Americans Of twenty,
With the loye-looks in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons,
Taught By Cupid since the fall,
But know little widow,
Who could win and fool you all.

Poor RICHARDS MAxIMs. These
maxims by DIR. Franklin, though they
are often printed, lose nothing of their
value by repetition:
|. Plough deep, while the sluggard
sleeps, and you shall have grain to sell
and to keep.
2. Pride is as loud beggar as Want,
and great deal more saucy.
3. Silks, satins, scarlcts, yelvets, put
out the kitchen fire
A. Diligence is the mother Of Good
Luck.

ed with Poverty, and supped with In
fanny.
6. Extravaganza and improvidence end
at the prison door.
I. 1t is easier to build two chimneys
than to keep one in fuel
s. If you would know the value OF
money, go and try to borrow some.
9. The eye of the master will do more
work than both his hands.

EVENING DUTIES.
OR,
THE TWO CITY CLERKS.
BY sYLvANUs COBB, JR.

"Show me how young man spends
his money said wise good merchant,
land viii tell you at once his future
prospects"
There is much truth in this; and an
incident of real life is now present i'll my
memory which may help point the NOR
al therein contained.
Oliver Hudson and Albert Ryder were
of the same age both were reared in the
same town; they had equal advantages
in all social and moral points; and the
most acute observer of human nature
could not have told which had the best
mind, They were as near alike as two
youths could be; and even their parents
occupied social and peeuniary positions
of the same gree. They were good
honest boys, and generally respected and
beloved.
At the age of fifteen. these two boys came
to the great city. Their parents had OBJ
tanned good places for them. and bright
hopes lighted up their paths. Oliver
Hudson was placed in the store of a mer-
chant named Elisha Rushton, and AL
bert RYDER took position exactly cor
responding in the store of Hugh Buxton.
Both the merchants were wealthy; both
honorable men; and both engaged in the
same kind of business.
4 year passed away, and at the end Of
that time the boys had become pretty
thoroughly acquainted with city life and
city manners and both had formed u hab-
it OF spending their evenings either in the
streets, or at some plsce of amusement.
Their companions did 80, and they fol-
lowed the example.
One evening they were both present
at party given by a friend, and they
both partook rather freely Of wine. On
the following morning, Oliver Hudson
awoke with severe head ache, and with
= wo-begone feeling pervading his whole
frame. 1t was his first debauch. He
had frequently taken glass of wine be-
fore, aud thought it no harm though he
knew his mother would be very unhappy
were she to know it.
On the present occasion, Oliver felt
badly. The idca that he had committed
a heinous crime was not with him; but
he knew that he had done wrong. 1t
was the first touch of the barbed point in
his soul. Innocent in intent, the result
Of his sin was heavy upon him. Could
he have continued on in the same course,
the next morning < sorrow would not have
been SO deep-the next lighter still-un-
til, by and by, familiarity with the feel.
ing would have hlunted it to the soul
and it could be laughed off over glass
of plain Soda
But this was the first fall, and thu
youth was startled. The events of the
previous night were dim and indlstlnct IL
his memory after ten o'clock. lie hao
