THE OTHER SIDE,
"J hear that Carlton has turned his nephew
out of doors," said Mr. Lee, as he entered the
store of his friend, Mr. Grant.
ofle has !" was Mr, Graiai's reply.
"Why, I thou ht intended to adopt him
as a son ?"
"so he representeid to his mother when he
per4uaded her to let him come with him, and
now after keeping him a little more than a year,
he pot only sends back again to his moth
er, but tens' him never to enter his house
again."'
"What reason does he assign for it ?"
"None at all, I believe, of any consequence;
but I have heard from another source, that
there was a probability of his ingratiating him
self into the good graces of his daughter, and
an I suppose he has taken this means to pre
vent it ?"
"Shameful for any person to Act in that
way !" exclaimed Mr. Grant, "no gentleman
would be guilty of such an act Jet alone a
christian."
"A christian T. Mr. Grant. I never thought
there was soy too much Christianity about him,
although I suppose he considers himself one
of the best."
"He is generally so reckoned in the comma,
fifty."
"I know that, but it does not follow from
that, that he is one. His conduct op this oc
casion at any rate, does not prove him one."—
Here the friends, parted.
"I have heard bad dews this morning, Ellen,"
said Mr. Orrant to his wife when they met at
dinner.

"Ah, il3deed I what is it ?"
"William Carlton , has turned his 'nephew,

"Oh I hope not, John. Poor Mrs. Green
Ido really pity her. But what caused him to
'do it, John."
"He was afraid I believe of the young fel

"Oh, no, John.: that can ' t be the reason.-

"Oh, pshaw I to place any - dependance on
that man's word. Yon know he never did
like Carlton. Don't you recollect what a fuss
he made about that money that was raised for
the poor and placed in his hands ?"
"I recollect something about it, but I forget
the particulars."
"Why, don't you remember he charged him
with having used a part of the money himself,
and yet when all was settled up it was found
that instead of having used any of it, be bad
paid away more than be really ought. Don't
be too hasty in judgingjohn Wait till you
have the other side, and perhaps you will find
that instead of being to blame, he has acted
perfectly right."
"Well, I don't know, but I never saw any
thing out of the way in young Green. He
appeared to be a very smart, sensible and ac
tive young man, and I have no doubt but that
he had won the heart of his idolised daughter
which is the main, and 1 guess if the truth be
known, the only reason for his acting towards
him as he has."
"I can't think it, John."
"You don't know the world, my dear woman.
Carlton is rich, the young man is poor—pen
niless. No doubt her fathor has some wealthy
alliance in yiew for her."
"'Tis true, ,John, I am not much acquainted
with the world, but one thing I do know, that
I have often times listened to stories concern
ing one individual or another, which have made
them appear anything but honorable, and yet
when the other side has be told, it has been
quite a different coloring to the whole affair.—
A. circumstance occurred with me this morning
just in point. As I was going into the kitchen
soon after breakfast, Anne met me on the
stairs.
"Oh ! Mrs. Grant," she exclaimed, "just
see what Kitty has done," and at the same
time she held up to my view a shirt, the boson►
of which bore the full impress of somebody's
black hand.
"Kitty did that ! Why, how same she to
do it ?" said 1.,
"Just out of mischief, ma'am. Now.isuit it
too bad. I had just ironed it, and hung iron
the horse as she came in from lighting the
parlor fire, and sho goes and daubs her hand
right on it."
"It's very provoking, indeed, Anne," I .re
marked, but I can't think she would do such a
thing on purpose; was Mary there when she
did it ?"
"Yes, ma'am," she replied. rather hesitat
ingly. "Send her to me then," I said. I
knew I could rely on what she told me. From
Mary I learned that as Anne turned away
from the horse after having hung up the shirt
she somehow or other knocked it over, and all
the clothes came near being capsized on the
stove, when. Kitty coming in at that moment,
caught it, and blackened the shirt. Quite a
different version from Anne's you see.."•
"So it was, but still I cannot think there can
be any excuse for Carlton's conduct. He ought
befriend, rather than distress Ws widowed
sister."
"And so I believe he does, John. And I
am still of- the opinion that he would have
proved a father to George If ha had not proved
Unworthy."
"Well—l guess we shall hear ROME more
about it some of these days, Ellen, and as long
as we cannot alter the case, we might as well
drop it. I must be off to my store."
Two weeks after this it was announced ip
the public papers that George Green had been
taken up for picking a gentleman's pocket.
"His uncle and no one else is to blame for
that," remarked Mr. Grant to a friend with
whom be had been conversing upon the sub.-
ject.
"I auk of a different opinion," replied the
other.
suppose you allude to the fact of his
having sent him back to his mother, do you
not ?"
"I do."
"Do you know why he did so ?"
"He was afraid of his marrying his daugh
ter, I have been told."
"Excuse me, Sir, bt►t whoever told you that,
told you a bare-faced lie."
"Well, that is the only reason I ever heard
assigned for it."
"Out• of justice to Mr. Carlton, I will relate
to you the whole affair, for lam perfectly sc
.9ivaioted with it from beginning to end. His
father, you know, has been dead about two
years."
Iriars,r.text,montl3," replied Mr. Grarkt.
"you Apow, too, that she died ,kosolvelit "
larpt i ttpddet).in aase,vit
"Well," continued his friend "soon after his
death, Mr. Carlton proposed to her sister, that
if she would place George under his care, he
would do by him as he would his own children.
He also told her that in his house she could at
any time she felt disposed to make her home
Both of these propositions however were de
clined. Notwithstanding this, he still continu
ed to look after her, and iu a great measure to
provide for her wants. Hut unhappily for her
son, as well as fpr herself, she exercised no
authority whatever over him. George was per
mitted to go when he pleased, and where be
pleased; to visit the tavern, the theatre, the
gambling room ; to remain out till twelve and
one o'clock, and sometimes even all night, and
his mother dare not utter a word of reproof.
I felt sorry to see the boy going thus to ruin,
and I spoke to her myself - about him. I told
her tit's best thitig she could do with him would
be either to send him into the country or to
put hint with a good master. She replied that
she had been trying to persuade him to it, but
she could no get his consent. Think of a boy
sixteen acting this way ! Nine months after
his f4ther's death his uncle again broached
the subject. Mrs. Green with tears in her
eyes, begged him if he had any love pt all for
her, to yield to his uncle's proposal. Finally
be consented. Mr. Carlton told him he must
at oece and forever renounce all his former
courses; he must give up , the tavern, the thea
tre, the gambling room, and must make it a
point never to be out after ten o'clock without
his consent. George promised obedience to all
this. For six months all was well enough.
goon after this Mr. Carlton having occasion
to return to his country rooms one evening fOr
something he had forgotten, found him and
another lad of his own age playing cards to
gether. George begged for his mother's sake
to be forgiven. And he was forgiven. Be.
fore two months had passed; the same thing
took place again and resulted ir. the same man
ner. After this, as I was walking along the
street one night I saw two lads standing at
the corner just ahead of me. As I drew near,
the younger of them said, "Gh ! no, I am afraid
father would not like it."
"Pshaw, we can manage to keep him from
knowing it," replied his companion. I turned
round at these words and discovered that the
one was Carlton's oldest sop, aged about 15,
the other his nephew. I took them both home
and related what I had heard. Green codes
ed that he bad been trying to persuade his
cousin to go with him to the theatre.
"What shall I do 2" said Mr. Carlton appeal
ing to me. 4 1.1 f I send him back to his mother
with such a character, I fear it will be her
death, and if I keep him here, I am afraid he
will prove an everlasting curse to my family."
Before I could reply George was on his kpecs
before his uncle and plead and begged so bard
for forgiveness, and made so many promises,
that Carlton was again induced to try him still
longer. But he did not keep his promises.—
Once or twice he was found entering the house
after midnight, having returned at an early
hour, and then getting up and going out after
the family were asleep. But it is not neees
sary for me to relate all his transgressions. I
have given , you enough to show you what he
ED
"But what induced his uncle finally to send
him away ?"
"I was about to tell you. His daughter
Susan •havipg occasion to go into a distant part
of the city, whence it was supposed she would
not be able to r,eturn before dark, her mother
told her to wait at a friend's house, and George
should meet her. With all his badness, her
parents did not think, for a moment suppose,
that he could not be trusted on an occasion of
this kind. They met at the appointed place,
and proceeded towards home. When they ar
rived at the corner of ------ street, he told
her that
.he had a friend living there, whom
he wished to see a few minutes. She at .first
refused, fearing that her parents would be un
easy at her absence, but, on his assuring her
that he would not stay long, she consented.--
Providentially for her, a friend met her before
they had reached the house it was his intentiqa
to enter, and thus evil designs were fustrat
ed. Would you, Mr. Grant, have kept him
in your hquse, after this?"
