Anything wrong?' 1 I find two errors.' Ali! let me see.' The lad handed his employer a,long sill that had been placed upon lir desk or examination. _ore is an error in the Calculation of en 'dollars 'which they have made tg,aitit themselves ; and another of ten the footing. A h•o against themselves"' Yes, sir.' The merchant smiled in a way that struck the lad as peculiar. `Twenty dollars against themselves,' he remarked in a kind of pleasant 'sur prise. 'Trusty clerks they must have.' 'Shah), correct the flgtires ?' asked the lad. ' No! let them correct their own mis takc,, ; we don't exatnine hills for other people's helielit,' replied the merchant. 'lt will be time to rectify those errors whlm they tied than out. All so much gain, as it now stands.' delieate moral sense was at ru unexpected a remark. He was the son of a poor widow, who had given him to understand that to be Just was the duty. of men. r. Carman, the merchant, in whose employment he had been foronly a few months, was an old friend of his fath er's, in whom he 'reposed the highest In fact, had always loOked - upon him as a kind of .niodet man, and r yilien Mr. Carman agreed to take into his store; -he felt that a good fortune Was in his Way. I,•t them correct their own mistakes.' These words made a strong impression on the mind of James Lewis.- When first spoken by Mr. Carman, and with meaning . then involved, hal felt, as we havesaid, sliocked ; but as he turned them, over again in his thd6glits, and and connected their utterance with a person who stood so high in his moth er's estimation, he began to think that perhaps the thing was fair enough in business. Mr. Carman was hardly the man to do wrong. A few day after James had examined the bill, a clerk from the hduse by which it had been rendered called for settlement. The lad, who was present, waited with inter est to see whether Mr. Carman would speak of the error. But he made - no re mark. A cheek for the amount of the 1;111 rendered was filled up and a receipt taken. ' Is that right?' James asked himself this question. His moral sense said Ile ; but the fact that Mr. Carman had so acted bewild ered his mind. Building, 0, 1868.) It may he the way in business'—so he - thought to himself—`but it don't look honest. I wouldn't have belieVed it of him.' Mr. Carman lid a kind of way with him that won the boy's heart, and nat urally tended to make him judge what ever lie might do in a favorable manner. I wish - lie had corrected that error,' he said to himself a great many times when thinking it a pleasant way of Mr. Carman, and his own good fortune in having been received iota hiu employ ment. %Alon't look right, but it may be it's the way of business.' One day he went to the bank and drew the money on a check. In count ing it over lie found that the teller had paid him lifty dollars too much, so he went back to the counter and told him of his mistake. The teller thanked him, {gad he re turned to the store with the conscious uess in his mind of having done right. "rho teller overpaid me fifty dollars,' he said to Mr. Carman, as he handed him the money. `lndeed!' replied the latter, a light ;br • eaking over his countenance ; and he hastily counted the bank bills. 'The light faded as the last bill left lup angers, "There's no mistake,James.' • A tone of disappointment'was in hiS voice. Oh, I gave him back the fifty dollars. Wasn't that right ?' You simpleton !' exclaimed Mr. Car'- aunt, 'don't you know that bank mis takes are never corrected? If the teller bad paid you fifty dollars short he would not have made it right.' The warm blood mantled the cheek •of James under his reproof. It is often the case that more shame Is felt for a blunder that a crime. In this instance the lad felt a sort of mortification at having ,done what Mr. Carman was pleased to Call • a silly thing, and he made up his , mind that if they should ever overpay\ him a thousand dollars at the bank hc t sltould bring the amount to his employer, and let hint do as he plea.,ed with the money. people look after their owii saio Mr. Carman. Janus Lewis pondeled these things in his heart. Thir impression they made was too ~t 1 utig ever to be' lorgoiteil. '1 t ll , a) he right,' lie said, but, he did nu t :eel ititomether A month or two after the oocuirellee of Iliac. mirgitiie, as J.ones congaed Cr los \% ages, Jost r eel sett troin Mr. Catnion, Ile discovered that. he Was paid hall a dollar too much. The tirst, impulse or hi timid was to return the halt dollar to his eiriployer, hint it was on his lips to say, 'Vim have given die pall a dollar to math, sir,' y T ilied the t l ioloigutted words, 'Let peo ple look after their own mistakes,'llash ing upon his thoughts, made hitu hesi tare. To hold a parley with evil is to L'e overcome. ' I must think about this,' said James, Wott,' g'orittr. Dr M. K.

'lf it is true in one =-eit is true,in an other: ;Mr.:Carman` don't cerreee mis takes that people make in his favor, and he can't complain when the rule works against himself.' 1 But the boy was'far from being in a comfortable state. He felt that to keep halfe dollar would be a dishonest act. Still he could not make up his mind to return it, at least not then. James did not return the half dollar, but spent it for his own gratification. After he had done this it came suddenly. into his head that Mr. Carman bad only been trying him, as he was tilled with anxiety and alarm. Not long after Mr. Carman repeated the same mistalio. James kept the haff'dbliar with less tesitation. -‘ Let him correct h s own mistakes,' said he resolutely; ' hat's 'the doctrine he nets on with oth r people, and he' can't complain if he gets paid back in the same coin he puts in circulation. I just want half a dollar.' For this time the fine moral sense of James Lewis* was 'blunted: Ho had taken an evil counselor into his,-heart, stimulated a spirit of covetousness— latent in almost every mind—which caused him to desire the possession of things beyond his ability to obtain. James had good business qualifica tions. and so pleased Mr. Carman by his intelligence, industry, and tact with customers, that he advanced him rapidily, and gave him, before he was. eighteen years old, themost reliable po sition in the store. , 'But James had learned something more froth hia em ployer than how toido- business well.: He hiad learned to be dishonest. He had never forgotten the first lesson he had received in, his badscience; he had acted not only in twe i instances, but in a hundred, and always to the injury of Mr. Carman. Ho had long since given up waiting for tpistakes to be made in his favor, but originated them' in the. varied and complicated transactions of a largo business in which atewas trus ted implicitly; forit had never occurred to Mr. Carman that ;his failure to - be just to the letter might prove a snare to this young man. - ; James grew sharp, - ful ; always on the ale: and ready to meet any wards a discovery of by his employer, who highest regard. Thus it went on unt 1 James Was in his twentieth year, wl en the merchant had his suspicions aroused by a letter which spoke of the yoang man as not keeping the most resp etable company, and as spending mone ' too freely for a i clerk on a moderate sa ary. Before this time James had removed his mother into a pleasant house, for which he paid a rent f four hundred dollars; his salary was eight hundred, hut he deceived his mother by telling her it was fifteen hundred. Every comii t that she needed was fully sup pliod, and she was begnning, to think that after a long and i ainful struggle i p with the world, her happier Jays had . come.

Exposure would disgrace and run him, and bow the head of his widowed mother even to the grave.

For half an hour out any purpose in h s mind beyond the -escape from the pres nee of his mother. At last his walk br 'ught him near Mr. Carman's store, and at passing ho was surprised at seeing , light within. a rt "What can this , tan?" he asked himself, a new fed creeping, with its shuddering impulse, into his heart. He listened by the door and windows, but he could hear no d sound within. "There's somethin wrong," lie said; "what can it be? I this is discovered, what will be the end of it? Ruin ! Ru in !

He said yes, but in a man t ti er that only increa ed the trouble she felt, and passed up hastily to his own room, In the morning the strangely altered face of James, as he met hie mother at the breakfast table, struck alarm into her heart. He was silent, and evaded all her questions. While they sat at the table the door bell rang loudly. The sound startled James, and he turned his head to listen in a nervous way.

I went into-that nian's store an innocent boy, and if belted been an honest man I would not, have stood before you to day as a criminal." Mr. Cartnim appealed to the court for protection against the allegation of such an outrageous character.; but he was peremptorily ordered to be silent.— James went on in a firm voice. "Only a few weeks afterl:went into his employment I examined a bill by his direction and discovered an error of twenty dollars." The face of Mr. Carman. crimsoned.. "You remember it, I see," said James, "and I shall have cause to remember it while I live. The errorwas in favor of Mr. Carman. I asked if I should cor rect the figures, and he answered, "No, let them correct their own mistakes; we don't examine bills for other, people's benefit." It was my first lesson hi dis honesty. Isaw the bill settled,,and Mr. Carman take twenty dollars that was not his own. I-felt shocked at first; it seemed such a wrong thing. But soon after he called me simpleton for hand ing back a fifty dollar bill to the teller of a bank, which he had overpaid moon a check, and then— " May I ask the protection of the court?" said Mr. Carman. "Is it true what the lad says?" asked the judge. Mr. Carman hesitated and looked confused; all eyes were on his face; and judges and jury, and lawyers and spec tators, felt certain that he was guilty of leading the unhappy young man astray. 'Not long afterward ) ? resumed Lewis, 'in receiving my wages found that Mr. Carman hail paid me': fifty cents too much. I was about to give it back to him, when I remembered his remark about letting „people correct 'thole own mistakes, and' Laid to mysplf hhn correct his own errors,' and' dishoneatly kept thenioney. Again the thing hap pened, and again I kept the money that did not of right belong to me. This was the beginning of evil, and hero I am.— If he had shown any 'mercy I might have kept siient and made no defence.' The young man covered his face with his hands and sat down overticiwered with his feelings... Llis.mother who was near. him sobbed aloud, and bending over, laid her hands -on his head; say lug:,•• h • , There were a few , eyes in the court room undimmed. In the silence that followed, Mr. Carman spoke out : 'ls my character to be thus blasted on the words of a criminal, your honors?— Is this right?' -= • 'Your solemn oath that this c harg,e iu untrue,' said the judge, will set you in the right.' It was time unhappy boy's only •opportunity, -and the court felt bound in humanity to hear him. James Lewis stood 4rp again instantly, and turned his white face, midday': piercing eyes upon Mr. Carman. 'Let him take his oath if he dare !' he exclaimed. Mr. Carman consulted with his coun sel and withdrew. After a brief conference with his as sociates, the presiding judge said, ad dressing the criminal : 'ln consideration of your youth, and the temptation to which in tender years you were unhappily subject, the court gives you the slightest sentence, one year's imprisonment. But let me sol emnly warn you against any further steps in the way you have taken. Crime can have no valid excuse. It is evil in the sight of God' and man, and leads only to suffering. When you come forth again etter your brief incarcera- Oen, may it he - with the resolution to die rather than commit, ft crime.' And the curtain fell on the sad scene in the boy's life. When it was lifted again, and he came forth from prison a year afterward, his mother was dead.— From the day her pale face faded from his vision as he passed from the court room he never looked, upon her again. Ten years afterward a man was read ing a newspaper in a far western town. He had a calm, serious face, and looked like one who had known suffering and trial. , 'Brought to justice at last he said to 'Himself, as the blood came to his face; 'convicted on the charge of open insol vency, and sent to state prison. So much for the man who gave me in ten der years the first lessons in ill-doing. But, thank God, the other lessons have been remembered. 'When •you come forth again,' said the Judge, 'may it be with the resolution to die rather than commit,a, crime,' and I have kept this injunction in my heart when there seemed no way of escaping except through crime; and god helping me I will keep it to the end. !tinning and skill- Irt, always bright approaches to lls wrong doing iheld him in the ' w hen the letter calm). lie look saw him change lle read it over hat the contents Mr. Carman and their Oyes l i d made his heart about the move- ,him into the par nd, sitting down • C was lying, pia is head. .Ah, it a loving preSburC. ease the pain from, ig.

A west country fisherman's life is one which takes him a good deal from home, for sometimes we go off for perhaps three .months at a time to the north coast of Ireland when the herring seas on is on ; and, like the tes I used to be off in my boat, sorry cum gli to leave home—happy enough to r turn after a busy season, till one year, when I took it into my bead to think i strange that, ' Harry Penellyn was my wi e'soldheau, should spin his illness out so long, and stop ashore, time after ti e, when the boats went out, and him s , eming to be well •and strong as any o us. There had been a heavy 'gale n the coast , some weeks before, and as ve always do at such times, we had run in for the harbor, as soon as we saw itl coming, but through bad seamanship, Penellyp's boat came inside the rocks when she should ' have come outside, and then, through not having water' enough, she grounded, lifted again, eaght by the c p stern, and then swung rou d broadside to the waves, which sw pt her half (leek, while ®ular cher is of shrieks rose froirt the womenstandmg ashore.

In an ordinary way we made it a custom of laughing at the crew ofia boat, who, through bungling, got owthe rocks, for born as wo are in the btiy, with our fathers fishers before us, NY knew every stone along the coast, and a 1 most steered our boat to them blindfolded, but this was no time to jeer, for new the poor fellows wet() being swept one by one from their hold, and borne struggling through the surf to the rocks, where they were in danger of being dashed to pieces, for ours was no Smooth and sandy beach. Home were` swimming, seine heating the water frahticallyoAnd clad as our men are, in their thick cloth trousers, heavy sea bootS, and stout Guernsey shirts, they stood a poor chance of keeping afloat long, for the weight of their boots is enough to drag them down. 1 There was every one in a state of ex citement; men running out as far as they could and throwing ropes—men shouting orders that nobody attended to—women tossing their arms up and crying, while first.one and then anoth er of the boats crew was dt l agged ashore and carried half-drowned ,up to the cot tages. -- I was standing looking on, with Mary by any side, for she was out on the cliff when my boat run into the little har bor, while her hand was first to clasp mine NVIIVU I got ashore, thankful for p the eseae we bad had for the sea had risen wowlerfully quick.,l I had taken no part'i'n trying to save ti e boat's'crew, for there were plenty of I,,illing hands and there being now 13u t :ittle standi4 room down below the cliff, I had thought I should be in 'he way ; bqt, , now it seemed to me that, one poor fel low would be lost with t to efforts they were making to save Win, for he was too weak to cling to the ropes thrown out, and as .fast as' he was swept in by the waves, they sucked 1 im back again three or four times. I had not seen who It was, but just their, as I made a start a if to go down, my wife clutched my rm, and, there was a wild look in her I ce as she said aloud, " Harry Penellyn " The excitement of the moment carried almost every Oil g before it, but I hiuLa strange feeling . hoot through my Wart, and someth ng seemed to say, " Keep back," but the next mo ment I was battling wi h the waves, with n noose of rope r iund my body and plenty of stout ma es ashore fast hold of the end ; while, after& strang ling battle, I got tight hold of pentellyn, and we were drawn ashore, and both of us carried up to my cottage, thought I tried hard to get upon my feet and walk, but I might have known thatour fellows would not have let me on any account. Well, Harry Penellyn lay at our place• 'three or four days, and Mary tended him, and all that time I had to battle against a strange, ungenerous, cowardly feeling that wuld creep over me, and seemed at time , to make me mad, till 1 got Myself ii a corner and asked Myself questions, o all of which 1 could only answer the same word— nothing. Then Penellyn got better and went to his' mothell's house ; and time , went on till I grew hitter, and ilarli, and niory , {e, and Was always haunted by a suspicion that I would th,t put into words, thhugh now the question came again and again—' \\'h3 ocsit't flurry Penelly a go to sea?' lint no answer came to my questions; and thtanill he seemed now to he well and us strung as ever, he always kept at i lwile while we went, out; anti in my „ Tha i : of wind this troulded tile, and I kept feeling glad that wci were tin ly out now on the snort Arty; 0' a few day s L, length.

I got ashore, left my mates tending the mackerel, and ran up to our cottage to find my wife out. This did not trouble me at first, but after a few minutes of litigating, about I felt a flush come in my face, and hur rying out made an excuse at Mrsi Perillyn's, and got to know that Harry was out too. The hot blood rose from my cheeks to my forehead and seemed to blind me, while a strange singing sensation came into my ears; but the next minute I was tearing along the cove i the dark of-the evening, where I migt be alone with i my thoughts, for,that V le suspic ion that was struggling witlre before had now conquered and eaten me down so that I was its sle.v_, and :for the time a regular mad man.,_, . ..- .I had run about halt' a mile when I stepped, panting, and began to walk *why along, while beneath the trees close beside the fern-rocky hank, while it was now tho dark to see far before me. But- the next instant I was standing with my breath held and one hand resting on my side, for as I crouched close to the bank I heard Peuellyn's voice talking earnestly as he, passed a few yards from me, with his arm tight ly clasping a •woman's 'waist, while, just as they passed they stopped; - and there was light enough for me to see r , him bend' over her, and their lips met, in a long -- clinging kiss—a kiss which sent the mad blood bubbling through' my veins, without stopping to think, I leaped from where I was hid, and as the woman shrieked .and fled, I had Penellyn by the throat and we joined in a fierce struggle. If an angel had told me I was de ceived I should not have believed him then in my blind fury ; and it was not until, having dashed his head against the ground again and again, I kit my enemy's hold relax ; then I leaped up, kicked hint savagely, and then ran back. • . Jtu,t as I expected, Mary was at home, looking hot and flushed, but she jutuped up with a smile and_ hurried to me, saying : " I was down at Mrs. Traverse's, dear, bht heard your boat had come, and She stopped short, half frightened by wy wild looks and disordered clothes. and half by the savage curse I gnashed out at her as I seized her arnis ; while as the truth flashed upon her, she • ss the next moment at my feet, app , s ling to me, vow ' after VOW, claspi her hands, and seeming half crazed with horror ;- while I poor mad fool, glaree on her and thought her anguish. was ctinsed by guilt. Ah, me I that I could have been such a foot—so blind, so mad —that I could turn.from those-appeal ing eyes, and rush from the place, meaning never to return and feeling savagely glad as I saw her fall senseless the floor. ' Would weeping blood for my folly have recalled nil that ; would giving up my life have crushed it out, I would have done It a hundred times; but \V as done—it was one of the hard thing of fate, and I rushed from the room and from the village, heedle;•s that the girl who had been Harry Peliellyn'scorn paniim had spread the alarm that he had been attacked and that he had been brought in nearly dead. I know noth ing, yaw nothing, except my own mad misery, and at tin;ies was wild that I had n'ot - slain the wife who had slain in my bosom till something rose up whis pering me of the past. I found my way to Bristol K and then to 'London, and after a time, I learned from one from my own part that Hurry Penellyn had recovered and was mar ried, and that my wife was ill. • I fought with myself for one week— two weeks—a mouth—and then I went, getting taken round the coast in'a fish ing -boat. I landtai nd went up to the old'slip, 00 to the cliff in the dusk of evening, just as I had•walked up a year before, and I roused myself up to my task saying I would go and forgive her, and then see her no more. - Forgive her! _What had I to forgive? Had she forgiven me before her eyes had eloed in that long sleep, and her pure spirit fled ? I asked myself that again and again, when her mother had ljd me to the room I dared not enter alone, and -with the few words she had littered, made the black veil of -mad jealousy drop from before my eyes. But it was too late—too—late—and I could not see those eyes look their for giveness, for they were sealed close and I was alone. Her mother left_ine there for a while, and then fetched me away, and I fol low•ei her like a child, listening to her ong tale of her child's sorrow. and the upbraidings she heaped upon my head. What could I do but groan and bear It—bear it as a part of my punishment here for my folly? It wasa mistake— the act of a fool—but I have suffered for it while with me ever, seeming, too, at times, even to smile upon me—upon me, a broken man—a man of rough toil, and a hard life—there are those two faithful, loving eyes, and the memory of their last look seems to grow bright er as I get nearer and bearer to the end of my bit of life. Thew, sir, that's myi story— a sad enough one, too, yet will say—and I'm obliged to try and laugh . it oft; or I should get no work (loud.

SNARE'S ANTIPATHY TO -FIRE.— There is in Brazil a very common, pois onous snake, the Surucucu, res ecting which the inhabitants relate t e fol lowing facts: They say that such is the antipathy of this reptile to fire, that when tires are - being made in-the clear lag away of woods they rush Into it, scattering it with their tails till it is ex tinguished, even becoming half roasted in the attempt ; and that when an indi vidual is passing at night with a torah, they pass and repass him, lashing him with their tails till he drops, it; and the snake is immediately found elosely coil ed around the extinguished torch. The gieatest enemy of this snake is an im mense lizard, five or six feet long. tis said that when the snake succeeds in effecting a bite, the lizard, rushing into the woods, eats some herb, and returns to the conflict, which almost invariably terminates in its favor. I A youngish ma - - who had see 1 bet ter days, asked y- ntleman fir a "trifle," which m ri be most " •el - to assist him on his return t his native place. lie was told that ,the Stranger's Friend Society would help him to a passage to Ireland. "Och, s ir," he exclaimed, "I'm not an Irish man at all, at all It's quite a mistake our honor's making."
