influence Of Bad Company.

One day Roberts father saw him
with some boys who were rude
and nnmannerly. He had observed for
some time change for the worse in his
son, and now he knew the cause. He
was very sorry, but he said nothing to
Robert at the time.
In the evening he brought from the
garden six rosy-cheeked apples, put
them on a plate, and presented them to
Robert. He was much pleased at his
fathers kindness, and thanked him.
"You must lay them aside for a few
days that they may become mellow, -
said the father; and Robert cheerfully
placed the plate with the apples in his
mothers store-room. ,,--..-
just as he was putting them aside,
his father laid on the plate seventh
apple, which was quite rotten, and de-
sired him to let it remain there.
"But, father" said Robert, ssthe rot
ten apple will spoil all the others.'' .sll
edo you think so? Why should not
the fresh apples rather make the rotten

these words he shut the door of the
room.
Eight days afterWard, he asked his
son to open the door and take out the
apples. But what sight presented it.
self. The six apples which had been
so sound and rosy-cheeked were now
quite rotten, and spread bad smell
through the room. -.
"Father," cried he, s'did I not tell
you that the rotten apple would spoil
the good ones? You did not listen to
me-"

bad children will make you bad, yet
you do not listen to me. See in the
state of the apples that which will hap.

Robert did not forget the lesson
When any bad boys asked him to play
with them, he thought of the rotter
apples and kept himself apart from

DEATH OF JOHN L. TARPLEY, ESQ.
The entire community is grieved by the
death of John L. Tarpley, Esq. which oc-
Cured after a brief illness, near this city,
on the 81 inst. He was buried in the city
cemetery on the succeeding day with the
bonors of the Fire Department, of which
he was Jealous member, and of a large
eoncourse of citizens generally. He was
the Oldest son of the late Hon. Colin S
Tarpey, and was in his twenty-sixth year.
A widowed mother, a sister and younger
brother are left of his immediate family
to mourn his loss. His upright conduct
gentle bearing-talent- and uneXception-
able character and department had won for
him warm place in the hearts of the peo-
pie among whom he was born and raised
He has been suddenly cut down in the bloom
of life, and with the prospects OF bright
career before him. To the circle of which
he was the hope and the idol, we tender our
sincere sympathy.

TRUTH IN BREF.-Anybody can soil the
reputation of any individual, however pure
and chaste, by uttering a suspicion that his
enemies will believe and his friends never
hear OF. y puff of the idle wind can take a
million of the seeds of a thistle, and do a
work of mischief which the husbandman
must labor long to undo, the floating parti-
cles being too fine to be seen and too light
to be stopped. such are the seeds Of SANDER,
so easily sown, so difficult ID be gathered up,
and yet so pernicious in their fruits. The
slanderer knows that many a mind will
catch up the plague and become poisoned
by his insinuations, without ever seeking
the antidote. No reputation can refute a
sheer, nor any human skill prevent mischief.

the strict and original definition was, a per-
son born i'm the colonies, of French or Span
ish parentage. But, in process of time, and
since the intrusion Of the Angio-Saxon race
into the old colonies of France and Spain,
the word has been commonly extended so
a. TO include all persons born In the colonies
once owned by France or Spain. without re-
gard to parentage.-N.o o. Times.
