he was not so bad after all, perhaps.
They questioned him, and when he SAID

Mr.. Dearborn soon persuaded them to let

Mr.. Dearborn took him home at once

entice thee, consent thou not. My son,

CHARLES LESSON.

"What are YOU rafting off at such a
rate, Charlie, boy?" asked Charlie Rad
clife's Aunt Helena, as she came upon
the piazza one Sunday morning before
church time, and found her nephew
perched on the piazza rail, with an open
book in his hand the while his busy
tongue, as fast as it could move, chartered
some sound like these
Shltnut axe thname
ThlordtheGodn vain
Flordnut oldim gifts
Takthisnamin vain.
Over and over Charlie turned this
strange sounding medley on his tongue,
and Aunt Helena looked at him in a puz-
zled way, trying to make out the sense,
if sense there might be IN any of 1t. AT
last she asked, SWhere did you learn
that gibberish Charlie, and what do you
mean by it, pray?"
Charlie seemed surprised.
why Auntie, he cried, don't you
know your commandments? That is a
commandment. 1 learned it out of the
Bible"
cor said auutie. "out of Choctaw
or Cherokee Bible probably. I do not
know the commandments in any such
language as that.
%W6y," laughed Charlie, that ISM
Choctaw or Cherokee. It's just-well, |
guess it's English-only it's the careless
sort. Mamma didn't understand it any
better than you did. She passed just
now and said it was naughty to jabber
nonsense in such a fashion on Sunday.
won't you please translate your care
less English into good plain English for
my benefit" asked Aunt Helena, kindly.
20, you know it, said Charlie gayly.
at is the third commandment: Thou
shalt not take the name of thy Lord God
in vain; for the Lord will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his name in vain. -
"Do you understand this command
ment p asked aunty.
80 yes, indeed, said the little lad.
1t means you muslin curse ands wear
be profane, you know"
"What is it to be profane?" asked
aunt Helena.
II know" said Charlie, smiling, "but
1 can't exactly tell. Wait a moment,
and I'll find out.
Then he ran to the dictionary and
looked up the word. His mother had
taught him to do this whenever he came
upon a word the meaning Of which he
thought he understood, but which he could
not define.
"To be profane means to treat any
sacred subject, with irreverence or neg
lect. To protane the name of God is to
speak or use it lightly, irreverently, or
wickedly, and not with that respect and
reverence that belongs to holy things,
said Charlie.
Eyes" answered auntie. "And &C
cording to this, it is sin against God to
use his holy name in any but reverent
manner"
Eyes" said Charlie, promptly.
a hope my little boy has now learned
the third commandment, said auntie.
1t is lesson that none Of us can
learn too early or too thoroughly. The
name of God is the hottest of all sacred
names. We should never let it lightly
pass our lips, or use it except with the
utmost reverence. To use Gods name in
wicked cursing or swearing, is fearful
wrong. And God has said that he will
not hold him guiltless that taketh his
name in vain.
Charlie is man now, but he has never
forgotten the lesson of his careless Eng
Hsh," and always remembers the true
meaning Of the third commandment.

had been sweet and clean at breakfast
time.
"Ob, Charlie" exclaimed mamma,
where have you been?"
In the poice-station," sobbed the
poor child as if his heart would break.
Of course the boys had coaxed him to
Join their play; then they induced him
to 90 to cake shop near by promising to
treat" him, for one step always leads to
another. While in the cake shop one of
the boys stole some money out of the
drawer; he thought that no one would
see him, as the woman's back was to him,
but she turned Just in time to detect him.
She tried to seize him, but he got away
from her and ran down the street, follow
ed by his comrades and Charlie, who ran
Just because the others did. Their race
was a short one; a couple of policemen
came upon the scene, and led three Of
them-one being innocent little Charlie
to the polce-station.
1t was Saturday afternoon, and a large
crowd of boys (and, I am sorry to say,
girls tOo) escorted the policemen and their
prisoners; and oh, how ashamed Charlie
was-to be found in company with a
thief!-to be arrested as a thief himself
