We take pleasure in relating an inci
dent which greatly enlisted .ime..aFutpa
held us veil•hound by its interest,
and finally istadrur hearts leap for joy
at its happy termination.
In the spring of 1838 we cbaneed to be
spending a few days in a beautiful inland
conntry town in Pennsylvania. It was
court week. and to relieve us from the
somewhat monotonous incidents of village
life we stepped into the room where the
court was cnnvencd.•
Among the prisoners in the box we saw
a lad about ten years of age, whose sad,
pensive emmtenance, his young audition.
cent appearawm, eaused him to look sadly
out of place among the hardened crimi
nals by whom he was surrouhded. Close .
Ay the box. and manifesting the greatest
interest in the proceedings, sat a tearful
woman, whose anxious &mine from the
Judge in the Inty left us no room to doubt,
that it was his mother. , We turned with
Na d u esg f rom t h e ,cene, to inquire of the
otrettim of the prisoner. and learned he-.
was accused of stealing money.'
The ease Was stem commented, and.
by the interest_ manifested by that large
ernwd, we knurl that our heart was net
the only one in which sympathy fur the
lad exit.ted. How we pitied him ! The
bright smile had vanished Irmo his lace,
and now expressed the - eareg of the aged..
His young sister. a bright eyed girt, had.
gained admission to his side, and cheered
him with the whisperings ol hope.
But that sweet voter, which before
emased his heart to hound with happiness.„l
added only to the grief iris shame hadt
brought upon him.
The progress (il the ease. acquainted nts

The lad's einfifover, a wealthy, miser
ly, and unprinciplet manufacturer, hail
made use of it for the purpose of what he
called "testing the boy's honesty:' It
was placed where, front ita very position,
the lad would uftenest see it. and least
suspect the trap. The day passed. and
•die master, to his mortification. not pleas
ure, found the coin untouched. Another
day passed, and yet his ohjt.ct was not
gained. He, however, determined that
that the hoy should take it, and so he let
it remain.
This continued temptation was too
much for the boy's resistance. Thediine
was taken: A simple present for that lit
tle sister 'was purchased with it. But
while returning home to gladden her heart,
his own was made heavy by being arrest
ml for theft! a crime the nature of which
he little knew. These circumstances
were sustained: by several of his employ

the plot. An attorney. urged upon the krt.
