These troubles kept me awake half -the night, and pro

But be only eeohled me for being so long about my er
rand. 1 never received a'repriread so willingly. Hie
severe words sounded sweet. I had expected something
so much more terrible. i
I worked all day with the gold its my pocket. I wee
der deacon Webbdid botsiespect something. I stopped so

possession of it troubled see, the fear of losing it troubled
me scarcely fees. 1 was Miserable. I wished a huadred

relief to lay it dowel's's' the roadside; again 1 wrapped it
in bjrowo paper. joist as 1 had found it. I wondered if
il.ri wealth made everybody so miserulie
~
At.night I was sent again to Mr. Baldwin's sad having
feoud him, obtained his promise to erork at Deacon
Webb's on the following day. 1 . .
It wee dark when I went home, and I was afraid of
robbers; it seemed to me that 'any body could rob me with
a ober conse.ience, because my treasure was not mini.-
1 got home and went trembling to bed.
Mr. Baldwin came early to breakfast wi us. I shield
1 • -
tell yogi something about him. He was an honest; poor
man. who had a large family to support by hard work.—
Everybody liked him, be was so iodustrions and faithful
Sod besides making good wages for his labor, he often
got presents oilseed aid floor from these who elployed
him. -
Well, at thetireiskfast table, after Deacob Webb had
asked the blessing, and given Beldwin a piece of pork so
that be might eat sotto to work as soon as riossible,
something was said about the "news." • -
"I suppose you have heard of my misfortune." said
Baldwiu. • •
. .
"Your misfortune?" . ,
"Yes.U.
. ,
•••Why, what has happened you?" asked the deacon.
"I thought everybody had lieard of it. replied Baldwin.
"You see, the other night when Mr. Woodly paid me,
he give me a gold piece," • : '
I started, and felt the blood forsaking my cheeks.
All eyes were turned upon Baldwin, however, so my
t • able was not observed. . ,
!sovereign," said Baldwin, "the first one , I ever
ha my life; and it seemed to me that if I pot it in '
my picket , like a cent or gall a 4ollar I should lose it.— '
doable a goose, 11:wrapppd it in a pine. of paper, and
stowed in my coat pocket, where I thought it win safe.
I never did a more foolish thing. • I mast have lost it in
taking out my handkerchief; and the paper woild pis
vent its making any_ noise when It fell. I diseovered my.
losi when I got home. and went beck to look for it. but
somebody must have picked it up."
"Who could be so dishonest as to have kept it?" asked
the deseite.
I felt like sinki ng through the floor.
... 1
"1 don't know," replied the poor man, abating his '
head sadly; he's welcome to it, whoever he is. and I'
hope hiseouscienee won't trouble him more than -the
money is worth. though bony., knows! want my bon- i
est earnings." " ‘
Thiewas tee much for me. The allosion to my con-'
science brought the gold est of my pocket. I resolved
to make • clean breast of it. and be boxiest in spite of :
poverty and skims. Bo I held theield in my trembling
head, and. said:—
"Is tkis yam Mr. Baldwin?"
dely veto* woe se team, um. .w. ALI ... 5........ M. • I
repeited my mesatioviet it mere essregta tone. All eyes !
were taraed epos me is astonishment, and the deacon
demanded where and when I had found the gold. , t
1 burst iota tears and confessed everything. I expected I
the deacon world whip me to death. But he patted my I
head, and said more kindly than was his wont— •
"Don't cry about it William. You are an honest boy. ,
if you did come near falling into temptation. Always be 1
hottest, my son: and if you do not grow rich, you will be
happy with a clear conscience." - -
But I cried still—Mr joy. I laughed, too, the deacon :
had so touched my heart. Of what S load I was retie*.
ed. I felt that honesty was the best policy.
As for Mr: Baldwin, he deck d that I should have i
half the money, for finding it: bu I wished to keep clear
of the troublesome stuff for •li ; end .1 did—l• would
not touch hii offer. and I new r regretted it, boy as I
was.
Well, I was the deacon's fay ite after this. He was
very kind to me, and trusted me - in everything. I was
careful not to deceive him; I preserved the strictest can
dor and good faith; and theithae trade me what I ant. --7
When he died, he willed me fire hundred dollars, with
which I came here and bought new lands, which are
now word; a groat maallsoverelgue. Bat this has noth

add is, I hive never regretted jeering my conscience of
