BE TRUTHFUL. ALWAYS.

This little story, copied from an exchange
paper, is excellent Read it, boys, and take
its lessons well 10 heart
Two country lads came at an early hour,
TO a market town. and arranging their little
stands, sat down to wait for customers. One
was furnished with fruits and vegetables of
the boys own raising, and the other supplied
with clans and FISH The market hours
passed along, and each little merchant saw
with pleasure his store steadily decreasing,
and an equivalent in silver bits shining in his
little money cup. The last melon lay on
Harry's stand, when a gentleman came by,
aud placing his hand upon it, said "What
fine large melon; l think must have this
for dinner. What do you ask for it, my
boy :"
The melon is the last have, sir and
though it looks very fair, there is an unsound
spot on the other side, said the boy, turning
IL over.
$50 there is" said the man Il think l
will not take it, But, he added, looking in-
10 the boys fine countcnance, sis it very busi-
ucss-lke TO point out the defects Of your
fruits TO customers
at is better than being dishonest sir,
said the boy modestly.
"You are right, my little fellow always
remember that principle, and you will find
favor with God, and man also. You have
nothing else wish this morning, but ! shall
remember your little stand in future
Are those clans fresh 2" he continued,
turning 10 Sen Wilson's stand
"Yes, sir fresh this morning | caught
them myself was the reply; and purchase
being made, the gentleman went away.
Harry. what fool you was to show the
gentleman that spot on the melon. Now,
you can take it home for your pains, or throw
it away How much wiser is he about these
clans ! caught yesterday; Sold them for
the same price ! did the fresh ones. He
would never have looked at the melon until
be had gone away
ben. ! would not tell lie, or act one Ell
ther, for twice what have earned this morn
ing Besides | shall be better off in the end,
for have gained customer, and you have
lost one
And so it proved, for the next day the
gentleman bought nearly all his fruit and
vegetables of Harry, but never invested
another penny at the stand of his neighbor.
Thus the season passed the gentleman find
ing he could always get good article of
Harry, continually patronized him, and some
times talked with him few minutes about
his future hopes and prospects. To become
a merchant was his great ambition, and when
the Winter came on, the gentleman wanting
a trusty boy for his store, decided on giving
the place to Harry Steadily and surely he
advanced in the confidence Of his employer,
until, having passed through various gradua-
tions of clerkshp, he became at length an
honored partner in the firm.
