A SAD SPECTACLE.

Happening in at the Confederate Court
room day or two since, we were one Of
the few witnesses of scene which we
hope never to have repeated in our expe-
renee A small boy. of some thirteen
or fourteen summers. from, the up conn-
try, was arraigned at the bar and Just
indictment against him for the crime Of
robbing the mail. The poor fellow
seemed utterly overcome by the disgrace
which his early departure from the path
of rectitude had brought upon him ard
the very respectable family of which he
is member. He buried his face in his
hands and sobbed aloud as the Confed-
crate attorney read over the various counts
reclting his crimes and in conclusion,
when asked whether guilty or not guilty.
a new cord of his heart seemed 10 snap
as he half uttred the confession 'sguity,"
and sank completely unnerved into his
seat There were not dozen persons
in the Court room at the time, officers
included. and the all pervading silence
added to the painful solemnity of the
scene. 1t was, indeed sad spectacle,
and there were but few, if any, dry eyes
among those who witnessed it. All felt
that the unhappy youth had been sufli
GENTLY punished for his crime yet the
law must be enforced, and Justice Har-
den sentenced him TO the shortest term
of imprisonment. two years in the pen
iteniary.
We commend this case as a warning
to youth. This little boy, as we learn,
was fred with desire to 90 TO the wars
and fight for his country His parents re-
fused, and being without the means Of
fitting himself out and dehraying his ex-
peases to the army. under the advice of
of an older and no doubt far worse head
be resor:ed to pilfering the letters In the
post Office, of which bis father was
master. The losses were discovered and
complained Of, trap was set, ani
the unwary youth fell into it, and from
thence into prison.
Let our young friends read this brief
history and learn the danger of giving
way to temptation in early life-that the
path of virtue is the only safe one. and
tina: a dishonest act should not be com
mitted even with worthy intent Be
sure "your sin will find you out" And
again, it teaches the importance OF obe-
dience to parents. who know far better
than you what is right and proper, and
whose counsel can seldom be violated
With impunity. Had this little boy hon.
ored bis father and mother, as he was
bound IN duty to do. instead Of an innate
with thieves aud felons. in prison far
away from home and friends, he you'd
have been free and happy as yourselves.
Lay these lessons to heart. and you will
be an homer to your families and your
country /; disregard them and the sad
fate of this unfortunate boy may be yours.
