that had come under his own observation.
Gne ot his friends, he said, had oonllden
tioj clerk, who had been trained in his New
England home to regard Sunday as a day ot
rest aud worship. '1 ho employer said one
Saturday that he wished the young mau
to come dow n tho next day and help him
straighten out his liooks. The clerk colored
a little, and said that he would lie glad to
work until midnight. Saturday, and to be
down shortly alter midnight on Sunday, but
that he did not wish to work on' Sun
day. The employer ovorperMiaihsl him,
however, and In throe years the clerk was a
defaulter for il2u,niKI. ' The employer went
across the sea uud liri.ii'.'ht him home, and
sent him to the penitentiary for eight years.
