Sun. j THE FIRST OFFENCE. i TKMPJIIt Jl'STK K WITH MKRtT. I . In the cheerful dining-room of my bache I lor friend Stevenson, a select party was as ' sembled to celebrate his birthday. A very j animated discussion had been carried on for I some time as to whether the first deviation front integrity should be treated with seivri , ty or leniency- Various were the opinions j and numerous the arguments brought for ; ward to support them. The majority ap . eared to lean to the side of "Crush all of j fences in the bud," when a warm-hearted j old gentleman exclaimed : "Depend upon it. more young people are lost to society from a first offence 'being treated with injudicious severity than from the contrary .extreme. Not that I would I pass over even the slightest deviation from intogrity, either in word or deed that would ! certainly be mistaken kindness ; but on the I other hand, neither would I punish with se verity an offence committed perhaps under the Influence of temptation temptation, too, that we ourselvfs may have thoughtlessly j placed in the vray, in such a manner as to ! render it irresistible. For instance, a lady ; hires a servant ; the girl has hitherto borne a ' good character, but it is her first place : her j honesty lias never yet been put to the test, j Her mistress, without thinking of the con- tinual temptations to which she is exposing ! a fellow creature, is in the habit of leaving ! small sums of .money, generally coppers, ly j ing about in her usual sitting-room. After a ! while she begins to think that these sums are ' not always found exactly as she left. them. I Suspicion falls on the girl, whose duty it is to I clean the room every morning. Her mistress. however, thinks she will be quite convinced before she brings forward her accusation. She count? the money carefully at night, and i the next morning some is missing. Xo one :- has been in the room but the girl ; her guilt is evident. Well, what does her mistress do? I Why, she turns the cirl out of the house at an hour's notice ; cannot, in conscience, give I her a character ; tells all her friends how dreadfully distressed she is : declares there I is nothing but ingratitude to be met with 1 among servants : laments over the denravitv j of human nature : and never dreams of blam ; ing herself for her wicked yes, it is wicked thoughtlessness in thus constantly expos ' ing to temptation a young ignorant girl ; one, ! most likely, whose mind, if not enveloped in total darkness, has only an imperfect twi i light knowledge, whereby to distinguish i right from wrong. "At whose door, I a-k," continued he, growing warmer, "will the sin ' lie, if that girl sinks into the lowest depths of vice and misery? Why. at the door of her w,,- after l,,ac'n3 temptation in her very tl , , , j t t, .... . , I ----- , .., ! piived of that which constituted her only ! means of obtaining her honest livelihood j her character: and that without one effort j to reclaim her, without affording a singleop I portunity of retrievini the past and regain ing by future good conduct the confidence of ( her employer." i "There is, I fear, too much in what you j say," remarked our benevolent host, who had i hitherto taken no part in the conversation : , "and it reminds me of a circumstance that j occurred in the earlier part of my life, which, as it may serve to illustrate the subject you have been discussing, I will relate." There was a jreneral movement of attention ; for it I was a well-known fact that no manufacturer in the town was surrounded with so many t old and faithful servants as our friend Stcv j enson, "In the outset of my business career," said I be, "I took into my employment a youn man to fill the situation of under-clerk ; and according to a rule which I had laid down, whenever a stranger entered my service, his duties were of a nature to Involve as little responsibility as possible, until a sufficient time had elapsed to form a correct estimate of his character. This young man, whom I shall call Smith, was of a respectable family. He had lost his father, and had a mother and sister in some way dependent upon him. After he had been a short time in my employ- ' ment, It happened that my confidential clerk, ' whose duty it was to receive the money from ' the bank for the payment of wages, being ; prevented by an unfortunate circumstance from attending t the proper time, sent the j sum required by Smith. My confidence was j so great in my head clerk, who had been long known to me, that I was not in the habit of ; regularly counting the money when brought 1 to me ; but as on one occasion it had passed through other hands 1 thought it right to do ! so. Therefore calling Smith back as ho was ' leaving tny counting-house, I desired hint to ; wait a few minutes, and proceeded to ascer- j tain wltether it was quite correct. Oreat was my surprise and concern on finding tliat there was a considerably deficiency. I " 'From whom,' said I, 'did you receive ' this money ?' ; "He replied, 'From Mr. ,' ncining my confidential clerk. " 'It is strange,' said I, looking steadily at ! him. 'Hut this money is incorrect, and it is j the first time that I have found it so.' Ile changed countenance and his eye fell before mine ; but he answered with tolerable com posure 'that it wms ns lie h,ul reocivcj it. impose upon mo, or to endeavor to cast sus picion upon one whose character for the strictest honesty and umleviating integrity is so well established. Sow, I am perfectly convinced that you have taken this money, Rnd that at this moment it is in your posses sion ; and I think the evidence against you would le thought sufficient to justify me in immediately dismissing ou from my service. Hut you are a very young man ; your eorr duct lias, I believe, been hitherto perfectly correct, and I am willing to afford yon an opportunity of redeeming the past. All knowledge of this matter rests between our selves. Candidly confess, therefore, the er ror of which you lutvc been guilty ; restore what von have so dishonestly taken en- ! dsavor by your future good conduct to de serve my confiileitce and respect, and this cir cumstance shall novertranspiretoinjureyou." "The poor fellow was deeply affected. In a voieo almost inarticulate with emotion he ncknowledged bis guilt, and said that, hav ing frequently sr-eti me receive the money without counting it, on being trusted with it himself the idea had flashed across his mind that he might easily abstract some without incurring suspicion, or at all events without there being sufficient evidence to justify it ; that, lieing in distress, the temptation had proved stronger than his power of resistance and he had VielddL " 'I cannot now," be continued, 'prove how j deeply your forbearance has touched me : time alone can show that it has not been j misplaced.' He left me to resume his duties. Days, weeks and months passed away, i during which I scrutinized his conduct with the greatest anxiety, while at the same time j I carefully guarded against any appearance j of suspicious watchfulness, and with delight j I observed that so far my experiment had j succeeded. The greatest regularity and at : tention the utmost.devotion to my interests : marked his business hlits, and this with I ont display ; for his quiet and humble de ! portment was from that time remarkable. I "At length, finding his conduct invariably 1 marked by the utmost openness and plain : dealing, my confidence in him was so far re ; stored that, on n vacancy occurring in a sit ' tbition of greater trust and emolument than ; the one he had hitherto filled, I placed him : in it, and never had I the slightest reason to repent of the part I had acted toward him. ; Xot only hail I the pleasure of reflecting thnt ! I had, in all probability, saved a fellow-crea- tare from a continued course of vice and consentient misery, anil afforded him the op portunity of becoming a respectable ;:nd use ful member of society, but I had gained for , nijself an indefatigable servant a faithful ! and constant friend. For years he served me with the greatest fidelity and devotion. His character for rigid, nay even scrupulous lion. . esty, was so well known that 'as honest as Smith' became a proverb among his acquaint- ances. One morning I missed him from his ; . accustomed place, and upnn inquiry learned ! that he was detained at home by indisposi : tion. Several days elapsed, and still he was ! absent : and upon calling at his house to in- ' quire after him, I found the family in great distress on his account. Ilis complaint had . r proved typhus fever of a malignant kind. From almost the commencement of his attack 1 he had, as his wife (for he had been some ) time married) informed me, lain in a state of total unconsciousness, from which he had roused only to the raving", of delirium, and that the physician gave little hope of his re covery. For some days he continued in t tit" same state ; at length a message was brought me, saying that Mr. Smith wished to see me, . the messenger adding that Mrs. Smith hoped j I would come as soon as possible, for she ; feared her husband was dying. I iminedi- : ately obeyed the summons. "On entering his chamber I found the ; whole of his family assembled to take i'ave . well of him they so tenderly loved. As soon j as he perceived me, he motioned for me to approach near to liim, and taking my hand , in botli of his, he turned towards me his ily. ing countenance, full of gratitude and affee i tion, and said, My dearest master, my best ' earthly friend, I have sent for you, that I , may give you the thanks and blessing of n , dying man for all your goodness t me. To your generosity and mercy I owe it that I ' leave to my children a name unsullied by ' crime, that in after years the blush of shame shall never tinge their cheeks at the memory of their father.' 'Oh God 1' he continued, 'thou who hast meted unto others, do thou mete unto him.' Then turning to his family he said : 'My beloved wife and ch'ldren, I entrust you without fear to the care of that Heavenly parent who hast said, "leave the fatherless children unto me, ami I will pre serve them alive, and let thy widows trust in me." 'And yon, my dear master, will I know be to them as you have to me a guide, pro tector and friend.' 'That,' continued the old man, looking on us with glistening eyes, 'though mixed with sorrow, was one of t'ie happiest moments of my life. As I stood by the bedside of the dying man, and looked around upon his children growing up virtu ous, intelligent and upright, respecting r.nd honoring, as much as they loved, their fath er; when I saw bis wife, though overcome with grief for the loss of a tender and beloved husband, yet sorrowing not as one without hope, but even in that moment of agony de riving comfort in the, belief that she should meet him again in that world where "Adieus and farewells are a sound unknown when I listened to his fervent expression of I gratitude, and saw hiiti calmly awaiting the inevitable stroke, trustinn in the mercy of (Jod, and at peace with his fellow men ; and , when I thought what the reverse of all this might have been crime, mi.-tery, a disgrace- ful and dishonored life, perhaps a shameful and violent death, had I yielded to the first impulses of in lignation, I felt a happiness which no words can express. Ye are told that there is more joy among the angels of f Jod over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety and nine just persons that need no repentance. With such a joy as we may im agine theirs did I rejoice over poor Smith, as I doed his eyes, nnd heard the attendant minister, in fervent tones, exclaim, 'messed are the dead that die in the Iinl ; yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. "My friends, I am an old man. During a long and eventful career in business, I have had intercourse with almost every vaiicty of temper and disposition, and wit's many de grees of talent, but I have never found rea son to swerve from the print-ip e with which I set out in life. to'iempc.r justice with sucrcy. ' " Such was thn story of our friend. And I believe there was not one in that eompany but i ft timed home more disposed to judge leniently of the failures of his fellow crea tures, a'nd as far as lay in his power, to ex tend to all who might fall into temptation that mercy which, under similar circsmi- stances, he wnuid wish shown to biiisseit, to ti -;.'t-v." SI. 50 and THE ICE MOCCASINS. Did you ever hear how the hunter who was taken pi isonci by the Indians showed them how to skate? No? Then its just as good as new. It was a hundred years ago, in the old pio neer days. Awny up at the northern end of the great lakes a bold bunder and trapper made his camp. He hunted for sport in the I summer an: trapped for fur in the fall and i rier. He knew every river and creek, every ! hill and valley in the great woods, better than you know the streets of the town ; and he i had studied the aunr.ing ways and bright I tricks of the beaver, otter, mink and martin, l,Ilt'l n,! k"Pw just wheie and how to set traps for them. He bought a good many skins from the Indians who lived near ; and early every year he would t.ike a large load ! of them to the nearest trading-post to sell : bringing back powder and lead, with teas, ' sugar, and other good things for the table. I The hunter's lire Isn't half so fine as the story books make it; but old Thomas Judson j fr that was his name enjoyed it better j than any other. In the winter he had to wear snow shoes ) in going through the woods to visit his traps; and one year he brought back a paii of skates that he thought would be handy when the ice was clear. And very handy he found them at such times as he could skate a dozen miles as easy as he could walk two, and the pack on his back never seemed so light as w hen be had liU steel shoes on, and could skim along the glassy surface of some lake or river. One very cold, clear day, when the ice was good, he went to visit some mink traps, al most twenty miles north of the cabin. He skated to near the spot, along the shore of the lake, and then took off his skates and put on his snow shoes to travel over the deep snow a mile or so into the woods, lie knew that an Indian trile from Canada bad come down to make war on those who lived near him, but he never thought they would trouble him. All at once his dog Druno, that had been running ahead on a deer track, stopped, sniffed the air, bristled up angrily nnd began to growl ; and before Thomas could carry his rille to his shoulder he was surrounded by a dozen howling Indians, who sprang from their hiding-place in the thicket, brandishing their tomahawks and yelling like mad. The old man was brave, but he wasn't a fool ; and instead of showing fight against such odils, he laid down his rifle and folded bis arms. lie could talk but little Indian, and they could'even speak less English ; but by signs and motions he made out to let them kuow that he wasn't on the war path but af ter furs. The Indians thteatened no harm when they found him peaceful, but were much interested in his arms nnd dress, for they hadn't at that time seen many white.men. The snow-shoes they knew all about, for you know the Indians invented them ; but the skates puzzled them. A thought seemed t-j occur to the hunter as he saw their curiosity, for his gray eye twinkled merrily. "Ice moccasin," he said, putting a skate on his foot, and then he made with his hands the gliding motion that the feet take in skating. "Uuh !" grunted the Indian chief, pointing to the narrow blade of the skate, and shak ing his head. As plain as looks could do it he made the hunter understand that he wasn't green enough to believe that anybody could stand up on those things. As thcV were near the ice Thomas proposed to fasten ' them on a young brave for trial. The Indians welcomed the plan with gloc, for, though savages, they were great lovers of sport. Selecting the bravest and swiftest young fellow, the chief bade him stick out his feet, which he did rather suspiciously. . The skates were soon strapped on, asm the. ) young buck helped to his feet. The ice was like glass, nnd as he started to move you know what happened ; his feet flow out from 1 under him, and down he came with a crack! Such shouts of laughter as the rest sent up 1 The young fellow was giitty nnd scrambled up to try it again, but with the same result. The chief now signaled to the hunter to show them how the things worked. Thomas fastened on the skates w ith great care, pick ed np.his riile and used;it as a cane, pretend ing to support himself. He moved about awkwardly, fell down, got up and stumbled around, the Indians all the time laughing and capering'nt the. .sport. ( Iiadually Thom ' as stumbled a little farther away, whirling ! about, and making believe it was very bard work to keep his balance, until he was near the point .where the smooth ice lake stretch ed miles and miles away, i Sud.lenly gathering himself up he grasped his rifle firmly, gave a war whoop as wild as the Indians' own and dashed up the lake like ' an arrow, skating as he had never skated be ; fore. If he had disappeared In the air the ' Imdianseouhl not have been more astonished. : Of course they couldn't hope to catch him, over the glassy ice, and they stood gaping after him, wondering more and more at the magic "ice moccasins." Nothing pleased old Thomas more in "after-years than to tell ' how he fooled the redskins. Lkakx a Th.M'K. One of the evils of to day is the evil disposition of parents to make professional men out of their boys. Every boy who is a graduate of the high school, or in fact of any other school, is regarded as a mode! of intelligence by his fond and affec tionate paiTnts, and is at once set down for one of the learned profession-!, which, in nine ; cases out of ten, he is totally unfitted for, and eventually his is a miserable existence. ' The boys should learn trades. Whit we . need in this country is intelligent mechanics. 1 A good mechanic is far better oft" than a one- horse lawyer or doctor. The trouble nowa days is that the young men are desirous of commencing business where their fathers i left off. They seem to regard all kinds of ' trades as menial. They would rather stand behind a counter at a salary of three dollars a week than cc.m fifteen lu-hind a mechanic's j bench. This is nil wrong. Th;s tendency of , this false pride is to make professional loaf ers out of our boys. A boy who has learned ' a trade has a capital that cannot be taken from him. He is always independent. I'a-' rents who have any regard for the welfare of their children will have them to learn trades. On the slopes of Amethyst mountain or the Yellowstone park, are exposed at different levels a1.irge tsnmber of silicitied trees, many being rooted in the position in which they grew,;;nd from twenty t- thb ty feet in bright.

SPEECH OF SENATOR WALLACE. , We find in the Lam-aster Int-Hhicm-or of Thursday lat the fo'lowisig report of an able ; and exhaustive speech, well worthy of cru I sal. delivered by Senator Win. A. Wallace at ' Fulton Hall, in tha. city, the night previous: i Mr. Wallace liogan by recounting the evi i deuces of returning prosperity that are visible ; on every hand and pointing out the revival of ' the material interests of the count rv from i the desolating blight that fell ujxin tfiem in is?.!. Iliisiness is con-;aiitly improving, and : times are infinitely Iwtter than they were live . years ago. The Kepuhlican party claims i this to be the result of its policy of covcrn ', inent, but this pretension is without fomida ; tion. Of course wise government is n neces , sary ngetit of national pioperity, but the re j difribiition of the forces of the country con I stitiitcd the real causo of this renewed life : and energy throughout the broad domain of ! the republic The laboring man, for whom ; was only idleness in til" great cities, went to tho country and turned his hand tothetiiling I of the soil, and from the ample stores of ' mother earth drew the nourishment tlsat was necessary to sustain life and supply strength ami happiness. All classes of the people knew that to Iwtter their condition thrift, economv, prudence were requisite, and it . was by the exercise of these that the republic was restored to the position of progress anil growth. Not by the tint of legislative and i executive will, but by their own nerved right I arm, did the American people again vindicate 1 their title to Ik- regarded as a tree and inde pendent nation. Applause. Ask our adversaries where we would -f ind to-day if the jwople of this cousitry had been i n generation of spendthrifts instead of a peti- pie of frugality and -iiterpii". Their claim ' t. have noon the agency will not bear the i test of criticism and scrutiny. For it was no governmental policy that wrought this change tor the better in the condition of the country. The people are themselves the governing power and the man or organization or agenev that st mds in the way w ill go down Iw-fove the resistless march of progress. Intheelank j of the loom, the rat tie of the spindle, the busv - hum of machinery, the country resinned, anil ctirsed lie the hand tnat would rekindle the '. I'tuliers of sectional strife among a reunited and prosperous people. The stability of confidence cannot be forced upon the people by legislative enactment. Comfort and happiness at home, by th- lire side, produces educational advancement, r.nd following in logical sequence comes intellec ; tual progress: and by these the country is j led up to the position to which the U of na tions liestined il. Can llr.s .-oiii'iiti, in of business prosperity, intellectual fiVHTierinoiit and stability of . government 1-e most effectually mniuuined by nourishing the feeling of party passion ' and sectional prejudice, by reviving bitter memories, or by endeavoring to restore that , unity of sentiment for which so many thous ands of lives wi re sacrifice.! on many bloody fields? The question is its own answer. You cannot have stability of government, unity of sentiment, by arraying the great sections of our broad land in enmity against each other. Coming out as I do from among the jieople. I can lay my finger on the public pulse nnd there detect the thrnhhings that so clearly indicate i lie desire ol all classes mer chants, mechanics, laboring men for a res toration of the ens ol good teeling bi t wren a'! parts of our common conn' ry. We all want this, here in our gre-it state, the Keystone of the federal arch, aid throughout the sister hood of commonwealths, Ihe sentiment pre vails. The men of Pennsylvania, recognizing the fact that we are designed to be one peo ple, that we have identity of interest with that portion of our land once unhappily rr rayed in hostility against the general govern ment, can Hot afford to stop now ami quarrel with the South, where a new race of men has sprung up, making the wilderness tin-re to blossom as the rose, suol who are asking ns to take their tobacco and cott-oi. and rice and sugar, and who want to take in exchange our iron and other manufactures. Prolonged applause.! The Ke publican party is a sectional party ; if has ceased to Im- .latione.i if it ever was na tional. There is no lie publican party south of Mason and Jlixon's line : they don't want any electoral votes from that porti-m of the fount ry. they don't make am effort to secure them. The Kepuhlican leaders seek to array the North against what they choose to term n disloyal solid South, nnd it they secured any of these "disloyal" states for their party their potent argument would be lost. The Southern negro has awakened to the fact that he has been put in a position of self government ; he begins to realize the respon sibilities that h :vo Im-cu put p;m.-,i hiui : he has arisesi from the degraded position into whi' h unscrupulous and designing l'epi.;.li ca;i politicians and tut vent uiers had toreed him ; his eves are opened to his real interests, and a a consequence this colored individual is beginning to vote the IletuiM ratic ticket. He is growing in mental stature and wealth, ami the Kcpubliean party has discovered that the great ecrimcnl of placing the ballot in the hands of the unlettered negro has proved a (aiiure so tar as it nail iieen designed ns an e lenient of party strength. And party lead ers will always discover their mistake when they attempt to govern from the top instead of fi-mi the bott isn, ami thereby ignore the great cardinal truth that man is tie- unit of tree government.
