I NESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. It was six o'clock in the afters , • , Thioithe tiigrair WhbleittTh 'WS of mews. Hubbard & Son was wont to close, unless the pressure of business com pelled the partners to keep open until later. The duty of closing usually devolved upon Edward Jones, a boy of fourteen, who had lately been engaged to perform a few light duties, for which he received the sum of fifty dollars annually. He was the "boy,' but if he behaved himself 5.., as to win the approbation of his employers, his chance of promotion was good. Yet there were some things that render ed this small salary a hard trial to him— circumstances with which his employers were not acquainted. His mother was a widow. The sudden death of Mr. Jones had thrown the entire family upon their own resources, and they were indeed but slander. There was an older sister who assisted her mother to sew, and this, with Edward's salary, constituted the entire income of the family. Yet, by means of untiring industry, they had contrived thus flu to live, using strict economy, of course. Yet they had wanted none of the absolute necessities of life. But Marones—Edward's sister— mejr: shad taken a severe 41014, which had terminated in a fever. This not only cut off the income arising from her own labor, but also prevented her mother from accomplishing as much as she would otherwise have been able to do. On the morning of the day on which our story commences, Mary had express ed a longing for an orange. In her fever it would have been grateful to her. It is hard indeed when we are obliged to deny to those we love what would be a refreshment to them. Mrs. Jones felt this, and so did Edward. " I only wish that I could buy you one, Mary," said Edward, just as he set out for the store. " Next year I shall receive a larger salary, and then we won't have to pinch so much." " Never mind, Edward," said Mary, smiling faintly, "I ought not to have ask ed for it knowing how hard you and moth er find it to get along without me." " Don't trouble yo if shout that Mary," said Mrs. %Tones soothingly, thoiigh Ml' heart sank within her at the thought of her empty larder. " Only get well, and. We shall get along well enough afterward." It was with the memori of this scene that . Edward went te Ilk stare in the morning. All around were boxes of rich goods re presenting thousands of dollars in money. " Oh," thought he, "if I only had the value of those boxes, how much good it would do poor Mary." And Edward sighed. The long day wore away at last, and Edward was about to close the warehouse. But as he passed the desk of his employ er, his attention was drawn to a bit of paper lying on the floor beneath. He picked it up, and to his great joy found it to be a ten dollar bill. The first thouglit that flashed upon him was, " How much good this will do Mary; I can buy her that orange she wants, and she will have some every day ; and per- Imps she would like a chicken.' But a moment later his countenance fell. "It Isn't mine," he sighed. It must be Mr. Hubbard's. This is his desk, and he rust Wive dropped it." " Still," urged the tempter, he will never know it. And after all, what are ten dollars to him ? He is worth a hun dred thousand." " Still Edward was not satisfied. Whether Mr. Hubbard could spare it or .aot, was not„the question. It was right fullyl his, ,a lima; be given back to him. "I'll .10) WM this very night," said Edward. Otherwise. I will be tempted to keep IL"! He deterinined to go to Mr. Hubbard's before he went home. The sight of his sister would perhaps weaken his resolu tion, and this must never be. He must preserve his integrity at all hazards. He knew where Mr. Hubbard lived. It was a fine looking house, on a fashionable street. He had passed it several times, and wondered whether a man must not Rol happy who is able to live in such style. Without unnecessary delay, therefore, he went to the house, and ascending the stepsrang the bell. A. 611 servant came to the door. "Yee, but he has just come in, and I don't think he can see you," was the supercillious reply. fat* [COMMUNICATED.] " Well ?" he said. " Is Mr. Hubbard at home ?" I►n who shalt have borne Me battle, and on. and his orphan, ie do" all Sphie4 may td eAssith a just and a tasting: peace •seires and seiki Wt MMt- ki*Ot. " I am in his employ," said Edward, quietly " and I have come from the store. 1 think he will see me if you mention this to him." " Very well, you can come in." Edward was left standing in the hall, while Mr. Hubbard was sought by the servant. " Well ?" he said inquiringly, " has anything happened ?" No, sir," said Edward, " but I picked up this bill near your desk ; and I sup pose you must have dropped it. I thought I had better bring it here directly." "You have done well," said Mr. Hub bard, " and I will remember it. Honesty is a very valuable quality in a boy just commencing a business career. Here after I shall have perfect confidence in your honesty." Edward was gratified by this assurance, yet as the door closed behind him, and he walked out into the street the thought of his sister sick at home again turned upon him and he thought regretfully how much good could have been done with ten dollars. Not that ho had regretted that he had been honest. There was satisfaction in doing right but I think my reader will .. • , . • .. on. Mrs. Jones brought some toast to her daughter's bedside, but Mary motioned it away. " I thank you for taking the trouble to make it, mother," she said, " but I don't think I could possibly eat it." " Is there anything you could relish, Mary ? " No, ,9 she said, hesitatingly, that we can get. ,, Mrs. Jones sighed—a sigh which Ed ward echoed. It was with a heavy heart that Edward started to the warehouse next mornin,„a. He had never felt the cravings for wealth that now took possession of him. He set about his duties as usual. About two hours after he had arrived at the warehouse, Mr. Hubbard entered. He did not at finst appear to notice Edward, but in about half an hour summoned him to the office, which was partitioned off from the remainder of the spacious rooms in which goods were stored. He smiled pleasantly as Edward entered his presence. " Tell me frankly, did you not feel an impulse to keep the bill which you found last night?" ' "I hope•yon monk be offinsded with wee, Mr. Hubbard," said Edward, " if I say I did." "Tell me all about it," said Mr. Hub bard with interest. " What was it that withheld you? I shouldnever have known it?" " I knew that," said Edward. "Then what withheld you from taking it?" " First I will tell you what tempted me," said Edward. "My mother and sister are obliged to depend upon sowing for a living, and we live but poorly at best. But a fortnight since Mary became sick, and since then we have had a hard time. Marys appetite is poor, and she does not relish fOod, but we are able to get her nothing better. When I picked up that bill I could not help thinking how much I could buy with it for her." "And yet you did not take it?" " No, air, it would have been wrong and I could not have looked you in the face after it." Edward spoke in tones of modest eon& . denet3. Mr. Hubbard went to his desk and wrote a cheek. "How much do I pay you now?" he asked. "Fifty dollars a year, "said Edward. " Henceforth your duties will be in creased, and I- will pay you two hundred. Will that please you?" "Two hundred dollars a year!" ex claimed Edward, his eyes sparkling with delight. " Yes, at the end of the year that will be increased, if, as I have no doubt you will, you continue to merit my confidence." "Oh, sir, how can I thank you?" said Edward, Lull of gratitude. "By preserving your integrity. As I presume you are in present need of money, I will pay you one quarter in advance. Here is a check for fifty dollars which you can get cashed at the bank. And, by the way, you can have the rest of the day to yourself." Edward flew to the bank, and with his sudden riches hastened to the market, where he purchased a supply of provisions such as lie knew would be welcome at home, and then made haste to an nounce his good fortune. A. weight seemed to fall off the hearts of the mother and daughter as they heard his hurried story, and Mrs. Jones thanked God for bestowing upon her son those good principles which had brought this great relief. And Mr. Hubbard slept none the worse that•night that at a slight pecuniary sacri fice he had done a kind action, confirmed a boy in his integrity and gladdened a struggling family. If there were more employers as considerate as he, there would be fewer dishonest clerks. QUITE a sensation has been created in religious circles by the arrival in New York of the great French Catholic preach er, Father lolyacinthe. Although profes sing to be a firm believer in the Catholic creed, his liberal views and wonderful powers as a pulpit orator have stirred up a strong &ding against him among the dignitaries of the church in Europe. The object of his visit to this country is not definitely known. As he does not speak the English language, he will not have a very good opportunity to publicly present his views to the -Jeople here.

ACCORDING to the Oregon papers, a prominent Democrat, during Mr. Colfax's reception at Yreka, loudly boasted, almost to the Vice President's face, that he "was a white man, and didn't take off his hat to anybody," evidently mistaking ill-man ners for independence. "Oh, never mind," said Mr. Colfax, quickly dolling his own hat, " I can take off my hat to anybody.' A WASHINGTON letter says : "We have some of those she-secesh back here, wrapped in treason as in a threadbare garment, declaiming about State rights as a satyr would discourse on girlhood's charms. Glorying in their rebellion, they eo not appear conscious that their political lamps have burned out, never again to be tilled, yet the foolish creatures trim the sputtering wicks, and hope for the reinslavement of the negroes and the annihilation of the Yankees." THE New York Democrat, with all the stunning emphasis of separate lines, de clares : The Democratic party of the United States is sadly in want. Its wants are not numerous, but severe. It wants brains. It wants honesty. It wants pluck. It wants unity of action. It wants integrity of purpose. Yes ; and it wants votes and victories; but as it can't get the articles enumerated by the Democrat, it will not be able to get the votes either.
