So he thought Mr. Simmons had meddled too much ia town finks, and Luke took up the strain and piped freely upon it. He knew nothing of the causes which led to Mr. Simmons' course—he only knew that that gentleman's character was before the public and we went into it. But this was not the only case. A man who can speak recklessly of one individual will speak in the same manner of others; and a man who can thus thoughtlessly speak at one time, is likely to speak at any time. Luke Wharton had been fur some time anxious to go into some business on his own account, and the opportunity at length preheated itself; or, at all events he saw a good opening to make arrangements to that end. His old employer, who had done business enough, was willing to sell out. He told Luke if he could find a part ner who would pay cash sown for half the store;and its good will, the Other half might UMW& for several years On a mort gage. So Luke cast about him, and was not long in finding the man he soutpit. Thomas Lyon, a young man of a neigh boring town, was ready to enter into such a partnership, and he considered that the thorough knowledge of the business, and the intimate acquaintantance with the customers which Luke would bring to him would offset the Interest he might have to pay for the money he would be obliged to hire. It was all arranged, and Luke Wharton was 'happy. Thomas Lyon would raise the four thousand dollars necessary to be paid down, sad he would soon be in a position where he could not only enjoy the honor and satitiEution of doing business fur himself, but where he could lay up money. And he 141113 the, mere satisfied because smother party had been talking of verchasing the store.' “I would trot treat Ithn-as far as I could throw a fat by the Up hill?” as serted bike Wtiarbn.

"I wouldn't trust him an inch.” "But what do you know against him, my son?" I know enough. He would have bought our store if he could; and he meant to do it in an underhand way. lie knew that I wanted it, and yet he tried his best to work me out." " But how do you know this?" "How do I know?"--why I know it well enough. I know that he went to my employer, Mr. Green, ()fibre(' to purchase the whole; and I know that he intimated that I might never be able to pay my half. I tell you he isn't to be trusted." " I hope you have not spoken thus to any oneelse," Bald the old lady with much earnestness.. " Why do you hope that?" "Because it would have been very wrong. I know Mr. Lovejoy, is lan eccen tric man, and very set, and even bitter in Wa prejudices; but I never heard a lisp net hitt character for honesty and up mess. 'Have you spoken of him out doors?" "I.have spoken my mind of him," re plied. Luke somewhat stubbornly; " and I shall speak so again." "Stopl told - the mother." She spoke sternly yet tenderly. ' "Do not say so.

Whit a blew was this! how high had he built his hopes upon the bright prospect before him—how proudly ho had dwelt upon the flattering promise of the future— and how heavy was the fall. lie paced to and fro in the garden, and finally he reas oned calmly on the subject. At first he had muttered deep imprecations upon the head of Samuel Lovejoy; but when he came to read the letter again he was forc ed to think and &el differently. " A week ago he had arranged plans in your favor," he read. "I was mistaken, he said to himself." "While I thought he was trying to work me out he was in reality trying to help me. Ire was really to let Thotmis have four thousand dollora to be my partner. What a fool I have Went Why could not I have known that he was Lyon's uncle, and my friend." "My son!" Luke started--turned and beheld his mother. "What is this?" she asked. Ile banded l4er the letter, and she read it. " What shall I do?" he asked. "What have you proposed to do?" " Nothing. I know not what I can do." " You can give up the store, and all the bright hopes you had based upon it." "Oh--I cannot do that, mother." "Then you can do better. Go to Mr. Lovejoy, and tell him frankly that you have been at fault, and that henceforth you will do so no more." " I cannot." "Then you must do the other thing— give up all. You have done very wrong, and if you have not the courage to ac knowledge it to him against whom the wron g has been done, then yon deserve no favor that he can grant. Think of it, my son; and as you think remember this: If you come honorably out of this, it may prove the best lesson you have ever receiv ed. God be with you, Luke, and - may gpod sense ale reason prevail." She iet bim, and he remained skate in the garden for half an hour. Then he went to the stable and got a horse, and rode away to see Samuel Lovejoy. lie found the old gentleman at home, and after he had overcome his embarmasinent, he stat ed the object of his vist. " You thought that I meant to work against you, eh?" said Samuel tovejoy. " It makes no difference what I thought," frankly returned Luke. "I. did. wrong; for I had no right to question your mo tives; nor had I any right to speak as I did. It was spoken thoughtlessly, and I am sorry for it." " Sorry that I heard it, eh?" "No, sir. lam glad you heard of it, for It has opened my eyes to the greatest fault in my life. But lam sorry I said it, because it was wrong." " Well, well, said the old gentleman, "come in. If you really feel that way, perhaps we can talk." They went into the house and the mat ter was freely discussed. In the end, Luke had pledged himself that he would cast off the evil practice of a loose tongue forever; and Samuel Lovejoy had . promised that ho should have half of Mr. Greens store, with Thomas Lyon for a partner. Once more was Luke Wharton happy. lie went home with his resoltrtion firmly fixed, and when. he told his Wift and moth er what bad transpired, they were happy with him. Within two weeks the great store bore above its entrance the names of "Lyon & 9, Wharton- ' and business nourished and the new firm prospered. Luke .wrote a few words upon a piece of paper, and placed it where his eyes fell upon it daily. It was , a Life Lesson which he wrote there—a lesson which thousands of us tilicadd learn and practice: "Suffer no Word to escape thee of thy neighbor, which thou wouidst not have thy neighbor , Pau AbrakautliFeltipo. —l , ----- ' Ganvaki paste are already appearing in North Carolina, BOSTON is nearly seven miles long from northeast to southwest. 13osToN has a milk inspector, and his operations have materially improved the gitality of the mitt* sold there.
