TEE FIRST TEMPTATION.
'Weyer open the door to a Mlle vice, lest a great one
should enter too." .
BY I%IATTA MYTHE
Stuart .Middleton was unfortunately born of
wealthy parents. His will had become the law of
lass superiors. From infancy he had boon taught
to warship that moneyed god, avarice. One sweet
sister was the only one who could guide . him When
ho was in error. No religious instruction bad
ever been instilled into his youthful mind,--a!nd
thus he was allowed to grow from childhood. Sad,
it is to be a witness of such a case without pos
sessing the power to rescue the buraing brand from
the 'devouring elements.
Lillian Middleton, although. several years
younger than her brother, brycl gained much of
that heavenly knowledge which is so essential to
St us for our home above. At school she was a
universal favorite, and was known as possessing a
keen sense for that which is right. She: gradu
ally learned the will of a superior Being. It was
at their sports that Lillian would gently plead with'
the, impetuous boy, who would so often talk of.
what he meant to do when he became master.
" When I am rt man, Lilly, I shall drive'faster
horses than papa,—l shall then go' to the theatre,
and to ever so many grand places!"
"Oh, no, Stuart, dear! .You won't, when I tell
you that it is nispieasing to God for any one to go
to the theatre."
"Father and mother always go, and they say
we can go in a•few years. Hurrah! won't I be
glad when that time comes!" exclaimed Stuart.
Poor Lillian did not know what to say. She
sat still and would have said no more if Stuart
had remained silent.
"Lilly, if it is wicked for me to go to the thea
tre and circus, why is it not the same for father
and mother? I am sure if they are right then I
should bet"
"I am afraid that father and mother do not
know that it is displeasing to God, dear Stuart.
I wish I could tell them, but I am afraid that they
Would be offended. Yet, I can tell my dear bro
ther anything, can't I?"
"Yes, dear Lilly," replied the boy, who truly
loved his little sister, "Of course you can. And
if you think it is wicked for us to go to such
places I shall tell them of it and see what they
say."
" 0
. please don't, Stuart, dear! for they will
not let me go to school anymore, where I shall
learn more about God!" exclaimed Lilly.
"Oh, yes, they will!. for if I say you shall, who
Will interfere?" asked Stuart, proud of the power
he had obtained over his parents.
The next day Mr. and Mrs. Middleton were in
the; nursery conversing upon the amusementsfor
.he evening.
"Stuart," said Mr. Middleton, as the lad en
tered the room, " we.are going to take you to see
htadame B— act, tonight, her celebrated
part in the new drama."
Stuart did not evince much happiness at this
news.
"Are you not rejoiced, my son 7" inquired his
Mother.
u I should lovo to go if you think it is right,"
said Stuart.
• 41 What do you mean, ohild?" asked Mr. Mid
dleton in astomshmont,
"Sister Lilly says, sir, that it is wicked to go
to such plays, and she wishes me to stay away
from them."
' l Pshawl" exclaimed Mrs. Middleton "Lillian
is altogether too forward. Do you not consider
your parents, my son, competont to judge for you?
I want you too to-night; wo shall have a srand
drama. I thin . k Lillian must be taken frOm Miss
Tracy's instructions, if she has become so pru
dish."
"Oh, no, mother! sister must not be obliged to
oban4e because she tries to do what she thought
was right. She is a little old-womanish, but she
will soon get over it," said Stuart, laughing, as he
opened the door.
"Wait for a moment, my son; are you not go
ing with us to-night?" inquired the pleasure-seek
ing father.
1 ( Yes sir, I shall go, for I shall be safe in doing
that which my parents approve of," replied the
manly youth.
The sun of prosperity had rolled for sixteen years
over the head of this, the first-born of the Middle.
tons and he was now
' beginning to learn the first, but,
the hardest, lesson of all life's teachings. Ho
must soon be able to send forth his' nifhience
which, like the rays of the sun, will either shine
without a speck to dim its brilliancy, or it will pass
through dense clouds of wickedness. The ques
tion now arises, who is to bo responsible for this
infiuence, which is to come forth from our youth?
.'arents, do you comprehend the responsibility
Which rests upon you to guide the immortal minds
of your little ones aright? Teachers of the
"buried intellect," you, who hold the highest of
fice of life, do you forget, in your education of the
mind, that the soul is the most precious of all?
Great is your trust when you assume the guardian
ship of Christ's little ones, and oh! how faithfully
you Should discharge that trastl
When Lillian Middleton had left the school
gate she mot Stuart who.had mine to meet her.
" I have come to walk with you, sister, and; also,
to tell you that I told father and mother what you
thpught about my going tonight. They said that
you were mistaken, and that no harm could result
froM my goin . g," said the brother as he took the
books from Lilly's hand.
",But you are, not going, dear Stuart?" inquired
Lilly.
" I don't know," be replied, hesitatingly, "as
long as father thinks it is right and there m.no
harm I should love to go, for we shall have 'such
fun!"
4 ‘ I am sorry to hear you say this, dear brother."
p: Wily are you, Lilly, dear, if it is right?" per
sisted the boy.
" RecuCtija I know that it is not. See here,"
replied the sweet child, opening her hand in whieb
was asmall-sized Testament. "I got this for a
•
prise . to-day."
"Did you? I am glad, that you got the prize,
bukl.,am Sure a , Testament, is nothing very nice
when we have so many already in the house."
"Why Stuart! not nice! It is the best thing
could wish for. But toll me, brother, that you
won't, go to-night; we will read, and then I will
tell you all of the nice stories that I heard to
day:'
" You can tell me before I go, sister for there
is plenty of time and 1 do riot want to stay home,"
replied Stuart.
" You must not go, dear brother. I lore you
ever so much) and will do anything to induce you
to stay at home."
"1 don't* see why'you should be •so tenacious
. , 2
/Ally, about my staying. lavp'you and I love to
'
see you enjoy yourself; ypt you wan to deprive
me Of this pleasure - Whiek I have so often longed
for!"
The tears came to the young girl's eyes, for her
sensitive nature was too great-to remain unmoved
at Stuart's last remark. " I can't say more, dear
brother, yet I did not wish to deprive you of any
amusement that was for your-pod.' 'I am almost
sorry that I ever spoke to. you about it," sobbed
the child.
" Dear sister," said Stuart, drawing Lilly closer
to his side, for they had reached, by this time, the
summer-house, " I would stay if it were only to
please you; but mamma will be seriously offended,
so, I will go only this once, my sister," said Stuart
in a soothing voice.
"Oh, not for once, dear Stuart! Miss Tracy
only said to-day we must 'never open the door. to
a little vice, lest a- ,great one should enter too. - "'
" Yet I will promise, dear Lilly, not to make it
a practice. lam afraid that Miss Tracy will turn
my darling sister into a little saint before long."
" Would you love me any the less, dear bro
ther?" said the artless one, smiling amidst her
tears.
" No, dear sister, nothing could make me lore
Lilly less," replied the boy as he stooped to kiss
her.
After Stuart projnised that this slithild be. his
first and last appearance at the theatre he led Lil
lian towards the house.
The nest morning Lillian sought for Stuart to
hear him give an account of the first impressions
"WlirolririrvrErei4+4-alight
,beforg,but_ uh
was obliged .. to go to school 'without'her
brother; but when she reached home she found
him in the grape arbor.
"Alit here comes my little preacher!" exclaimed
Stuart laughing.
Lilly smiled and, taking a seat by his side, she
said: "I have come to bear your description of
last evening. How did you enjoy-yourself,-.Stu
art?"
"I never had such a fine time in all my life! I
enjoyed myself very much, and should not object
at °vino. amin."
Lilly imMediately dropped her heaitto hide the
rising tear.
"I declare, Lilly, you are sorry because I had
a nice time!" exclaimed Stuart.
Lilly immediately showed him wh,y she - was
sorry ] and used all her argumentative powers to as
sure him that she was in the .right.,
Several week§ afterwards, when they were all
seated at the breakfast table, Mr. Middleton an
nounced that the pleasure of,Jtie• evening would
be derived' from another attendance at the theatre.
Stuart's eyes sparkled at this news. All ofLilly's
fears were now aroused. After the Meal was
finished she hastened after Stuart, but he evidently,
tried to elude her. Towards night she found a
note in the arbor which ran thus:—".Dearest sis
ter:—l. am going again to the theatre, but this
shall be-the- least time.— -Don't grieve-, for -no.harm
can come from my 'going this once.
Your loving brother,
Grape Arbor. STUART rtIIDDLETO."
Lillian's heart swelled with emotions too deep
for utterance. She sank upon the grass and there
remained until the night dews fell heavily upon
her heed. •
As night after night Stuart went to these -lapel
,
nating places of amusement he became more and
more ashamed to meet his -sister. To Lilly's re
peated entreaties he would say, "If father and
mother will forbid ,me from going I will stay
away." But he knew too well that he was fol
lowing their wishes. o,nc year from, this time he
entered college. 11e had, passed through the pre
paratory institution a feu; months previous. Lilly,
now fifteen. years of age; never ceased to plead
with him, and it was when he was to - leave her
that she entreated him the more to leave. off his
ruinous course.
"Oh, my pet, you must remember, that we can
never be young but once!" he oiclaimed, and
with a fond kiss he left her side. •
Stuart wrote affectionate. letters to his sister.,
thanking her for her advice; yet,. he was carefukl
never to mention.where he spent his leisure hours.
But Lillian often read those lines wLichhe pbnned
for his father's eye alone. As her scalding tears
stained thesheet, her heart wOuld'silentlysupplidate
at the throne of mercy, for forgiveness for the erring
boy.
'Weeks flew by, and Stuart wrote that he would
soon be with the "loved ones." Lillywaited with
great impatience for his return, but her heart was
saddened at the sad change which had taken
place. His floe features Were not improved by
the frequent use.of the wine cup, and his nightly
dissipations. • In, the presence of his family he
always appeared uneasy,—anxious to. avoid their
scrutiny. .He was the same reckless boy when,
the time came for him to return to coltege. Lil
lian had given up all hopes of a reformation; yet
she prayed for. him, never laying 'her head upon
her pillow until she had plead for her wayward
broth or.
News soon came that Stuart had gambled away
a large sum of ,money, and was now entirely des 7
titute. His father sent him more, cautioning
him not to repeat the transgression. But this
was not effectual, fOr in a few weeks came another
demand, saying, "only this once, father!" The
kind, over-indulgent parent could not refuse.
Again came another solicitation with the same
pica, "this once only?" At last Stuart Middleton
was sent home in disgrace. ` His usual kind dis
position was almost ruined. Even to Lilly were
his words peevish and cross. But this faithful
sister continued to pray in earnest. -Her faith
was never shaken—she knew that God alone
could rescue him.
"Dear Stuart," said Lilly, when, they were
riding together," will you promise me one thin...?"'
"No, not if you are going to eoMmence to ser
mo.nize," said Stuart crossly. -
Poor. Lilly's lips were sealed for that day. Not
many days afterwards she met Stuart again. Her
heart, was burdened, and she sought to relieve it
of its weight. Putting her hand within that of
Stuart's, she said, "Stuart, dear, will you let .me_
talk to you just as I used to do when we Were'
children ?"
"Yes, don't - care, if .you 'will" refrain frOm
censuring me." .
"My brother, have I ever censured you? .have
I. ever accused you
,of- doing wrong?" said the
young girl ritlickly.
"No, I cannot say that you have; but father
blames me," said the boy.
" Yet, dear brother; I. , never haVe, nor I never
shall ; Now lot us talk: pleasantly," ,continued
Lillian.
" As you wish, dear sister," replied the youth,
placing' his arm around Lilly's slender form.
During this conversation not one , word of re
proof did they speak to each other, and no allu
sion was made to Stuart's past conduct. By the
time the tea-bell rung, Lillian was sure that Stuart
still loved her.
A week from this date Stuart.fell from a. herSe,
which he Was riding in a , mac course. He was
brought home lifeless. It was beantiful to see
the maiden bend over her unconscious brother, as
her lips moved in prayer while she ministered to
his murmured wants. For days his wild delirium
lingered; but
,slowly reason came, and us, the s.uf•
ferer grew stronger, he trembled ,9t, what might
have been his fate. How many times has God- 77
when counsel' and advice fail 'to soften the heart
of the sinner—sent deep affliction to subdue the
obdurate will.
Stuart Midclleton soon saw, his error, and felt in
what relation he stood towards God,—a condemned
and yet a pardoned sinner! Lillian, with a grate
ful heart, witnesga this happy change, and she
enjoyed, many -delightful conversations with the
now penitent boy.
" Oh, sister! If I had stayed at home that first
night from the theltre, I never should have been
such a hardened sinner. I thought I could go
once, but that; once was the ruin of me. Not once
through my whole career did I forget your gentle
words of admonition,—"never open-the door to a
little vice lest a great one should enter too."
Lillian Middleton's prayers were answered,—the
"lost one was found.". Stuart was soon able to
return to hie studies. HIS whole character ap
peared to a changed, and his predominant pas
sion was' to` do good to others. No department or
situation. wtuutoo humble fuf him to labor in. He
AlittOritt.',..7trtoblt - triat , :a#U. i) . l 4e , ortjOrzitt;iliol .
possessed exquisite taste and „skill in using the
knowledge which hehad acquired from books, for
any end and purpoi.e.
The faithful sister not only lived to see her bro•
titer establish a:family altar in their own family,
but in the homes of many others.
May He, who is love, light, and truth, lift the
thoughts of many other erring ones from earthly
to heavenly things.

for conciliation is past. It may retUrn, but not
to-morrow, nor next week. It will return 'when
that tattered lag (pointing to the flag of Fort

lions confederates are taught that the North,
though peaceable are not cowardly, though for

Then, as of old, the ensign of the pride and

men of New York—young men of the United
States—you are told this is not to be a war of
aggression. In one sense that is true; in another,
not. We have committed aggression upon no
man. In all the bread land, in their rebel nest,
in their traitor's camp, no, truthful man can:rise
and say that he_has ever been disturlsed,stliongh
it be but, for, a single moment, in life, liberty,
estate ' character, or honor. (Cries of " That's so.")
The clay they began this unnatural, false, wicked,
rebellious warfare, their_ lives were more secure,
their, property more secure, (not by themselves;
but by u&) guarded far more securely than any'
people ever have had their lives and property se
cured from the . beginning of the world. (Ap

dangers of this controversy. Civil War, for the
best of reasons upon the one side, and -the worst
upon the other,- •is , always dangerous to liberty-s-s

there are yet worse things than ,fear, than= doubt
and dread, and danger and blood. - Dishonor is

is Worse. Stites forever conimingling and forever

and secessionists' are worse. To have Stir: after

have - stripe after stripe.ob.seured—(eries of _."No !

have our women weep and our men blush-for shaiim
throughout generations Yet to come; and that,
these are infinitely, worse than blood. (Tremens;
dons cheers.) People of New York, on the eve,
of battle, allow me to speak as a soldier. Few of
you know, as my career has been distant and obt-,
scum, but I may mention it here to-day with gene
rous pride, that it was once ray fortisne to lead
your gallant New York regiment in the very.shock
of battles (Aispla.'use.) I was their leader, and .
upon the bloody heights of, Cerro.Gordo, I'know
well what New York can do when' er blood is.
(Loud applause.) Again, once more, when we
march, let us not march for revenge. As yet we
have nothing to revenge. It is not much that where
that tattered flag waved, guarded by one hundred
'men against ten thousand, ianot much that starve
tion effected what an enemy could not compel. We
have as yet somethine to punish; but nothing', Or
very, little, to revenge. The President hiruself,
hero without knowing it—and I speak from know
ledge, having known him from boyhood—the
President says : "There are wrongs to beredressed
'already long enosigh endured." And we' march
to battle and to victory because we do not choose
to Tsdure this .wrong any longer. (Cheers.).
They are wrongs not merely against us; not against
you, Mr. President; net against
.me, but,sagainst
our sous ,and agaiost our grandsons that surround
us. They.tire wrongs against our ensign—,(Cries ,
of !STlittes , so," , and applause)--against our. Con
ststutioit; they are wrongs against ,humin hope and
human freedom; and thus, if'jt tie avenged, still
as Burke says, '• it is a wild justice at last," and
we will revenge them. While .I. speak, following
