BEWARE OF TEMPTATION, OR.
Honesty the Best Policy.

1t was six o'clock in the AFTER
noon. At this time the great
wholesale warehouse Of Mcssrs.
Hubbard & Son was wont to close,
unless the pressure ofbusiness COM
pelled the partners to keep open
until later. The dutyp of closing
usually devolved upon Edward
Jones, a boy of fourteen, who had
lately been engaged to perform q
few light duties, for which he re-
ceived the sum of fifty dollars an.
nually. He was the" boy" but if
lie behaved himself SO as to win
the appreciation of his employers,
his chance of promotion was good.
Yet there were some things that
that rendered this small salary a
hard trial to Observation-Disclosures
with which. his employers were not
acquainted. His mother was q
widow. The sudden death of Mr..
Jones had thrown the entire fami.
ly upon their own resources, aud
they were indeed but slender.
There was an older sister who
assisted her mother to sew, and
this with Edwards salary, cunsti-
tuted the entire income Of tho fam.
lily. Yet, by meaus of untiring in
dustry, they had contrived thus
far to live, using strict economy,
of course. Yet they had wanted
none of the absolute necessities OF
life. ~ .,.
But Mary Jones, Edwards sis
ter, grew sick. She had taken a
severe cold, which had terminated
in fever. This not only cut off
the income arising from her own
labor, bnt also prevented her moth.
er from accomplishing as much as
she would otherwise have been
able to do.

Mary had expressed q longing for
an orange. In her fever It would

obliged to deny to those We love

Mary, smiling family, aI ouph,

how hard you and mother find 4
to get along without me.n

one shilling and niue-pence by her own hard
work, washing the pewter vessels Of her
neighbor, publican 50 that three shiIlings
aud nine-pence made up the whole Of her
weekly income. But out Of this three shil-
lings and nine-pence she allowed herself one
great treat. She made i, point in the win
ter time, and i, was only in the winter that
She needed such an indulgence, to allow
herself regularly every other day to buy a
candle.
With this candle, when her days work was
done, she sat down to read the Bible. She
burned her candle for half an hour till She
read as much as she could remember, then
PUT out the precious light and thought upon
what she had read; nor was this time lost,
for while She thought in the dark upon what
she had read in the light, her mind was filed
with Joy and peace. Then after little time
she lighted her candle again, and so went on
till it could burn no longer.
She thus gained great knowledge of tho

with the undisturbed civilization of Northern
towns, in one, two or three years. Yet, as we
