And so the dre try night-hours go. Some hearts beat where some hearts break ; I often wonder why 'lis so. Some wills faint where some wills fight Some lore the tent and some the field I often wonder who are right The ones who strive, or those who yield. Some hands fold where other hands Are lifted bravely In t he strife ; And so thro' ayes and thro' lands Move on the two extremes of life. Some feet halt where some feet tread. In tireless march, a t homey way; ' Some struirgle on where some have fled; Some seek when others shun the fray.

Arthur, Paul Eastman had sold a piece of goods to a neighbor named Bond, who handed him the money charged there for, and lelt the store. The price to be paid for the article was seven dol lars. While the customer stiu stooa by, Eastman counted the money into his drawer and made the amount seven dollars and a half. As soon as Mr. Bond had retired, the store-keep er counted the money over, and sure ; enough there was half a dollar in ex-i cess. "So much gained," said he, with a feeling of pleasure. "The proht j was good enough, and here is so much over." Touching the morality of the act, his thoughts, at the time, took no cognizance. Indeed, Paul tastman had never been a man to think much about his acta as effecting others. His purpose being centered in him self, it was but natural that he should regard with approval or disaproval only such things as effected himself. There was, therefoe, no reflection upon what ilr. Bond had lost, but only on what he had gained. "So much gained he repeated, as he separated the half dollar from the other pieces of money, and looked at it for some moments. lie then thre v it back into the drawer, and went to attend to annther customer. This half dollar, gained dishonestly, aad the act not condemned in his mind a.i evil, had the effect of exciting tLe utore-keeper'a cupidity still farther, ilis next customer was an. old lady from the country, and he soon per ceived that she knew but little about the prices and qualities cf goods'. It would be aa easy to get from her a large profit aa a small one. "1 shall have to depend npon your honesty," aaid the old lady, innocent ly, as she stood holding a piece of goods in her hands, the style of which pleased her. "I don't know much about prices." "You may depend 8n my selling you as low as any o'nc in the trade," replied Eastman. "My store is known all over town as the 'cheap store.'" "Can't ycu say anything less than twenty cents for this?" "That, madam ia the very lowest. We have but one price." ' Then you may cnt me off ten yards." . Ten yards from that' very piece were sold, only half an hour before, at fifteen cents, all Estman had asked for it But he knew his customer then, as now. "It's a beautiful piece of goods," said he, as he measured off the re quired number of yards. "I know yon will be delighted with it" "So much gained," was the thought of the store-keeper, as he mentally calculated the amount of excess of profit obtained thrpugh aa advance beyond the regular selling price of the article. The old lady'a purchases came to about twenty dollars. She obtained for this sum, goods that almost any one else could have bought from East ton for eighteen dollars. "So much gained," was repeated, as the exact amount of money-benefit derived from extra charging was as certained. "A similar transaction, every day in the year, would make me worth just fix hundred dollars more than would otherwise be the case. Little matters of this kind are worth looking after." On the next day, Eastman succee ded in pushing off upon a country man, who could not see the defect, a piece of damaged broadcloth, upon which he bad made up his mind to lose three dollars. But, the man pot detecting the injury, as the goods were thrown open for hia inspection, the store-keeper did not feel bound to enlighten him. " "So much gained there," said he in satisfaction of mind, aa the customer departed, well content with hia pur chase. "So miicA gained." Ends of action, whether good or evil, Like the muscles ot an arm, gain strength and exercise. An evil pur- nose, once indulired, ia like the for mation of a nucleus in the human body. Life flows toward it, and it gains strength and increases in pajj-. nitude. If not at once obliterated by a healthy, natural ox spiritual resistance, in the tiodv or mind, the center of physical or spiritual disease enlarges itself until the whole system gives it nourishment, and ministers to its own destruction. In the case of Eastman, the unjust appropriation of Mr. Bond's half dol lar, accompanied as it was by tne de light at the thought of so mncu gain ed. produced in hia mind a point of influx for dishonest principles to flow in. Before that time, he had not committed any act bo deliberate in its dishonesty aa this keeping of a half dollar clearlr the property of another. But, as soon aa one wrong act was done and not condemned as evil, the desire to continue ia Bimilar wrong acts, for the sake of gain, awoke in his mind. Opportunities for its gratification, as had been seen, immediately presented themselves, and they were cot suffered to pass unimproved. Saacess but inspired a more earnest cupidity and Mr. East man sought daily to increase his ESTABLISHED, 182 PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 2-2, 1S74. gains by little acts of overreaching never before indulged. Let us trace to their ultimate ef fects the three instances of gain which we have introduced, and see how far it was as the store-keeper supposed. Mr. Bond had with him exactly seven dollars and a half in coin, and was aware of this fact Just as Mr. Eastman began picking up the money which he had laid down, he liecame conscious of having paid away all that was in his pocket, and, consequently, of having made an overpayment of half a dollar, lie looked at the store-keeper as he count ed over what he had received, and distinctly saw him enumerate seven dollars and a half, lie went away thoughtful. He had lost half a dol lar and it troubled him; the more so as he had a suspicion that Mr. East man knew of the overpayment and deliberately appropriated the sur plus. "I'll give him time for reflection," said he, as he walked away. Three or four hoars he thought time enough for this purpose. So in the afternoon, Mr. Bond called in at Eastman'3 store again, and made some trifling purchase. But nothing was said of the half dollar. "I'm not satisfied about this mat ter," said Mr. Bond as he returned home. "Eastman may L-e innocent; bat I can't help feeling doubts." And these doubts instead of dimin- ishinsr, increased. Their effect upon the mind of Mr. Bond, was to pro duce a disinclination for farther deal ings with Eastman; and acting upon this disinclination, he withdrew his custom aad made his purchases atan other store. The family of Mr. Bond was larsre, and his custom of some importance. Uunng tne nve vears previous to this time, the clear profit of Eastman on the purenases ol 3lr. Bond's family, was not less than thirty or forty dollars a year. This now went into other hands, ine amount of profit and loss, in the transaction, could it have appeared 'o- " . ' DOi Have ueeu veij cutuuiugiuy. vu j the debtor side, fifty cents gained; per i contra, thirty dollars lost, ia a single J year, and space left to post an equal , or greater amount per annum for an j indefinite cumber of years, thus) stood the half dollar case. When the old lady from the country exQioiieu uer purcuam to is nun . -1 . ii i- - - . , . . - r..: 1 ia town, ciirt nrfio moitj ntjifflri-. r.f fhi i fact that she had been the subject " v. " , , ,. ui a suameiui imposition. 'Very well," said she calmly, "he will gain nothing by it I'll publish the fact for ten miles around." And she was as good as her word. Her friend ia town also did share ia a similar wort The gain to Eastman had been two dollars; the loss fell lit tle frhort of a hundred ia a single Jear- ... The countryman wno nad purchas ed the damaged broadcloth, took it to his tailor, who discovered the injurj, though not before the garment was cut out 'Is my coat done?' asked the coun tryman, going to the tailor's at the time agreed to. Xo,' was the reply. 'The cloth is damaged, and I didn't like to make it up until I saw you.' 'What'a the matter with it?' I'll show you.' And the tailor unrolled the gar ment, aad exhibited defects in various places. 'That man has cheated me,' said the countryman, angrily. 'Who sold you the goods?' 'Eastman.' 'I used to think Eastman a very fair man; but I've heard of two or three things lately that I don't like.' 'It's a swindle!' 'He'll make it good, no doubt' 'He shall make it good. How much cloth will it take to supply the dam aged portion?' 'At least a yard and a quarter. The defects arc in the space of a half a yard, but, aa I didn't discover them until the coat was cut out, they are distributed, ia portions of the garment that will require a yard and a quar ter to replace.' 'Very well Bundle it up, and I'll make him do what is right No man gets ahead of me in that style.' About two weeks after Mr. East man had secured a clear gain of three dollars on a coat pattern of damaged broadcloth, the customer on whom the speculation bad been ma.e entered his store with a bundle under his arm. 'Look here, Mister,' said he, as be threw the bundle on the counter 'there's something wrong here.' 'Indeed! what is it?' said Eastman,; forcing an external composure that he did not teeL He understood pretty well what was coming. The countryman unrolled his pack age, with some excitement apparent in his manner, and presented to the eye of Mr. Eastman the portions of cloth that were injured.

The paper was a magistrate', sum mons. As ho looked at ir, Eastman colored deeply. "What's the trouble'" asked the of ficer, who was well acquainted with the store-keeper. "Oh nothing much. I sold a piece of goods, which happened to be slight ly damaged, to a countryman, and he wants to make a speculation out of me. Proffered him everything that a reasonable man could have expected; but to no effect And now, it seems, he has gone to law about it. Very well. Let him get what the law will give him." "Some people are never contented unless in hot water," remarked the officer, as he turned away and left the store. Notwithstanding the confident way in which Eastman had just spoken, he did not feel so very comfortable in mind; nor was he so sure that there would be a decision of the matter in his favor. "I wih I'd taken tJe cloth back, and thus got rid of the wholo affair," said he to himself, as hewalked un easily about his store. "But it's too late for a compromise now. He has thought fit to drag me before a mag istrate; so let him get what the law will give him. He'll find that there are two sides to this question. More over, if he is not sick of the business before he is done with it, I am mis taken." Four o'clock came, and Mr. East man presented himself at the ofliee of the magistrate, where his customer for the broadcloth was ready to con front him. After hearing the case, the magistrate decided that Eastman must make good the damage, and pay the cost of the legal proceedings. "I'll appeal against your decision. It's unjust," said Mr. Eastman. ' Very well. You have the right to do so," replied the magistrate. And the appeal was made. The countryman, obliged by this proceeding, to go without a coat for a year or two, or by a new piece cf cloth outright, preferred the latter course. But he was, very naturally, indignant, aad did all ia his power to prejudice his neighbors against East man aad prevent them from dealing at his store. Ia this he was pretty successful, and Eastman lost the sale of many patterns for cheating ia one. Tee lawyer employed by Eastman aad the one feed by the countryman, beiag good f.ieuds and not over scru pulous, put thMr heads together and resolved to make the best of the Case. Each required a retaining fee of five dollars at the beginning. "So much- lost," was the mental ejaculation of Eastman, as he left his lawyer's office after paying this fee. "So much lest," he rcpeated.when, oa the case btiing called in court, it was, from some cause which he could not understand, postponed to another term, and he required to pay a bill of costs ameunting to eight or nine dol lars. At last a decision was obtained. It affirmed the one given by the mag istrate. So, after all, Eastman had to refund the countryman the price of the cloth, aad pay all the court charges. It cost him from first to last about fifty dollars. But the account of loss and gain was by no means settled. The noto riety given to the transaction operat- ed most injuriously upon the interests of the store-keeper, whose bariness rather declined than increased. Mr.1 Bond hinted his suspicions about the half dollars, and the old lady from the country could never get done talking about the way she had been cheated. All these causes ia an active operation, had the effect to turn many old cus tomers from, and prevent many new ones going to the store of Mr. East man, who was a thousand dollars wors'eoffat the end of three years! than he would have been if hiscupid- ity had not tempted him to overreach1 his neighbor.
