A SHARP TEMPTATION.
BY JUDGE CLARK.
Of "Fortune's buffets" James Watson
felt he had borne his full share. Why,
then,' turn his back' upon her favors, if at
last she chose to offer them?
So James Watson asked hiniself, nu
finding that the pocket book he had just
picked up, contained a handsome sum of
znonev.
"gut it,is not mine,"
.he reflected "and
the owner may be discovered:"
"Don't be a fool !" he answered himself,
with the customary rudeness of one get-
Cul , the 'worst of the argument. „"It's
not your business to look after the owner.
Others have not dealt so justly by you,
that you need put yourself out much on
account.of others."
Bad reasoning, surely, but if James
Watson yielded to it, it was not without
palliation. The failure of his employer
had lost him his situation, besides a con
siderable arrearage of wages. The bank
iu which he had deposited his savings bail
broken, and at last the wolf was at the
door.
He had been out all day seeking em
ployment without finding it.. At home
lie had left an invalid wife and a child
crying for bread. To carry them nothing
back hut. disappointment, he could not
bear to think of. He had •continued his
search till hope had become hopeless, and
was moodily bending his steps homeward,
when his eye fell on a pocket book at his
feet. which he eagerly picked up, and
Idiot' he found, on , inspection to contain
a sum larger than he had dyer before pqs
sessed.
Having snubbed his conseience.into si
lence, James Watson haStened to seek the
bumble home he had a moment before
shrunk from entering.
"Dot any supper for Charley, papa?"
were the first words that greeted him.
"Charley shall have a nice supper to
night." he answered, taking up the. child
and kissing him.
"Look here, Mary!" he exclaimed, dis
playing his treasure before the astonished
eyes of his wife. • ,
"Where did you get it ?" she asked, her
pale face growing • paler, and her voi)te
trembling.
"Found it."
"Then it is not yours, James."
"Oh ! the pretty money !" cried t e
child, clapping his hands=—"but, papa, 's
so hungry."
The father caught up one of the ban*-
notes, and was hastening out, when his
wife's thin band was laid upon his arm.
"Be our wants what 'they may,". she
said, gently but firmly, '"we must not touch
a cent, of that money. It is not ours, mid
you see there are papers which may lel
tp the discovery of the owner."
"A plague on the papers !" he answer
ed "We're not boUnd to' 'read' them' and
it's easy putting it out of -their power to
tell tales"
,He was in the act of flinging them into
the fire, when his wife,caught. his arm:
"Listen to me, James," she said, look
ing appealingly into his face. "Trial and
privation I am ready to bear with you to
the end; to lose faith in your honor I
could. not bear;
.it would kill me more
cruelly than want."
Conscience liad'found an abler, advocate
this time than in the discussion which
James Watson had lately carried on,sin
gle=handed with himself. ,
"Put it by, Mary," he said, closing the

supper in which the, goetAugss of his appo•
tite made - amendi for 'the 'plainnese,of the
t a r e. ~.; • 'IL. Ir",,
Next morning James Watson took'the
pocket-bnok te. place it in tusty., hands
till the proprietor ,could fontid., The
papers it contained were , a sealed packet
and some loos' 'nieineratida; which gave
no clew to the owner.. The.gentlemailin
.hose , hands_James placed - it com mended
his honesty, „and promised , to adirertise—
cautiously for the loser of tha property.
While James was absent on this errand,
an elder] . gentleman called:.,
•
quired: "
"That is .my husband's' name," Mary
euamerol • •'" ' '
"Is.llo at home.i" asked the gentleman.
• "Ile has gone ont,on some 'business,"
said Mary, a little hesitatingly, for she,
had'a misgiving that thag'entleman's
vis
it might relate to the lost pocket-book,
and that if it still remained.in her hus
band's possession, he might, in some way,
be compromised.
"Sorry," said the old. gentleman; "I
wished to, see him particularly. I'm a
lawyer, you see," he added; abruptly.
Mary was all in a tremble,, She was
sure now it was the pocket-book he hid
ome about.
"But stay'," said the old gentleman,
jumping up, "is that your family Bible ?"
And before Mary could answer be hid
the book open, and was closely compar
ing the family register with a memoran
dum he had taken from his pocket.
"Quite right!" he muttered to himself.
"Nor then," he resumed—"l've a most
unpleasant piece of news to tell, and may
as well out with it." '
Mary trembled still more violently,—
Possibly James had been found with - the
pocket-book in his possession, and charg
ed with stealing it
"Your husband had an uncle Edward,"
the stranger continued—"a wild dog Ned
was—in fact, we were a pair of wild dogs
together, he and L Well, he ran away,
and was never heard of till after he had
died a millionaire in a strange land. By
his will, duly forwarded 'to me," and in
which I am named as executor, the bulk
of his' fortune is left to his nephew, your
husband, of whom, it seems, he had some
how gained intelligence."
Mary was too much-agitated fully to
comprehend the old gentleman's state
ment. She waited for him to continue.
"Now for .the storm !" said he. 'By
George, I wish your husband was here!
I'd rather face twenty men than one wo
man in such. a case."
"I am at a loss to understand you, sir,'"
was all Mary could answer.
"You will soon," he returned. "The
will's lost ! Now you may think that
makes but little 'difference; Seeing the con
tents are known, which only proves how
little women know of law. A 'will has
no effect till it's proved, which it can't ve
ry well , be without being produced. "How
came it lost ?" you were going to ask.—
Quite a proper, question on cross-examin
ation, and take no exception to it. \Veil,

"Andlf fotind- one," said James Wat

"Found oneT r tiricidig6'l'iwyei "whit

"James describe&it, stating accurately
the amount of money in it.
"Confound .the money !" interrrupted
the other—"were there any papers 1 1 "
"A sealed packet • and some memoran
da," James answered. "But you can soon
see for - yourself that everything is right.
I have just placed the pocket-book and
its contents in the hands of.a reliable per
son, to be taken tare of till the owner l i s
discovered." • ' . •
- "lluzza 1" cried the old lawyer, tossg
up his hat. "You're an honest fellow, aid

„When a few .wordia. of explanation bid
enabled James to comprehend the allusi9n

This is-not the--only instance, by any

miserable, •quarrelsome heads of; families
who make eyerybodyand eyerything,ln
happy around them. On. the contrary,
we have noticed several such suicides diir
ing the past year. Parents are prone lc;
expect too much from their children, and
too often ignore thefact children, must be
true to their natures. Old heads are not
often on young shoulderi,' and old heels
are not' often oil YOlingfeet ' 'lf so, they
would belout of 'platel !' l God made:chil

nature craves at.home, he will have, it, as
many a youth has, away.from

where they put their sons to learn trades

nue hundred feet, and consepently affords

-ADVICE TO THE Gmke.—Girls talk
- and.' laugh about Marriage as though, it
isierva jubilee, a gladsome thing,a rose
without a thorn. And so, it is, if it is all
right they go about it as rational be
ings instead:of merrymaking children.—
It is a serious • thing to" marry. It is "a
life business. Therefore never do it. in
"haste,;: never run astay: and get married;
never marry for wealth or standing;
fine person, or manners, but only for char
acter, for worth, for the qualities of mind
and heart Which makes an honorable man.
Take time ; think long and well before
you accept t any,, proposal; ,consult your
parents, then some judicious friend, then
your own judgment. Learn all that it is
poesible for.you AsO learn of your proposed
husband ; when all doubts have been re
moved, and not till then, accept him.
