HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
It was sift o'clock in the afternoon At
this time tue great wholesale warehouse of
Mess's. Bubbaid & bun was wont to close.
uotess the pressure of business compelled
the partners to close later. The duty of Mos
lug usually devolved upon Edward Jones, a
ooy of fourteen. who had lately been en
gased to perform a few light duties, for
welch he received the sum 01 fifty dollars
annually, He was the 'boy, but it he be.
hayed limbed so as to win the approbation
of his employers, his chanee of promotion
was good.
Yet there were some things that rendered
this small salary a hard trial to him— cir
cumstances with which his employers were
not acquainted. His mother was a widow.
The sudden death of Mr. Jones bad thrown
the entire family upon their own resources,
and they were indeed but slender.
There was an older sister who assisted her
mother to sew, end this, with Edward's sal
ary, con entnti.d the income of the family.
Yet, by means of untiring industry, they
had coetrtved aims tar to live, using the
strictest economy, of course. Yet they had
wanted none of the absolute necessities of
litit Mary Jones—Edward's sister—grew
sick. She had taken a severe cold, which
had terminated in a fever. This not cinly
cat elf the income arising from her own la
bor, but also prevented her inothar from ac•
complishing as much as she would otherwise
have been able to do.
Oa the morning of the day on which our
story commences, Nary bad experienced a
longing for an orange. In her fever it
would have been grateful to her.
It is bard indeed when we are obliged to
deny to those we love what would be a re.
freshment to them.
Mrs. Jones felt this, and so did Edwatd.
'I only wish that I could hay you one,
Mary,' said Edward, just as ho net oat for
the score. 'Neat year I shall receive a lar•
ger salary, and then we won't have to pinch

said 'Airs. Jones, soothingly, though her
heart sank tiithin her at the thought of her
empty larder. 'Only get well, and we shall
get. along well enough afterward.'
It was With the memory of this scone that
Edward went to the store in the moruieg.

He determined to,go to Mr. Hubbaid'e
before Ne went home. The , sight of his
sister Would ferhapS weaken his resolution,
and this must never be. He must preserve

He knew where INit. Hubb_er_4 liv •
was a .ne 00. Ong, .ouse on a fashions .le
street. He.bad passed it several times,. and
wondered whether, a man wank not feel hap
py who is able to live in snob style.
Without nonedessary delay, therefore, he
went to the hoists, and eabending the steps,
rang the bell.
, A man servant came to the:door.
•Well 7' said be.
'ls Mr. Hubbard at home ?'
'Yes, but lie has just come Id, and I den%
think he can see you,' was the supereillious
reply.
am in his employ,' said Edward, quiet
ly, 'and I have come to the store. I think
be will see me if you mention this to him.'
'Very well, you can come in.
Edward was left etanding in •the hall,
while Mr. Hubbard was sought by the ser
vant,
'Well Y' he said inquiringly, 'has anything
happened
'Na, sir,' said Edward, 'but I picked up
this bill near your desk, and I suppose you
must have dropped it. I. thought I bad
better bring it here directly.'
'You have dune well,' said Mr. Hubbard,
'and I will remember it. Honesty is a very
valuable quality in a boy just commehniug
a business career. Hereaiter_ Shall_ have
perfect euntideace in your honesty.'
Edward was gratified by this assurance,
yet as the door closed behind him, and he
walked out into the street, the thought of
his sister sick at home again turned upon
him and he thought regretfully how much
good could have been done with ten dollars.
Nut that be had regretted that he had been
honest. There was satisfaction in doing
right, but I think my reader will understand
his feelings without explanation.
Mrs. Jones brought some toilet to her
daughter's bedside, but Mary motioned it
away. thank you for taking the trouble
to make it, mother,' she said, 'but I don't
think I could pOsslbly eat it.'
'is there anything you could relish, Mary r
'No,' she said, hesitatingly, 'nothing that
we can get.' •
Mrs. Juges sighed—a sigh which Edward
echoed.

It was with a heavy heart that ,lward
started to the warehouse next morph' . He
had never felt the cravings for wealth that
now took possession of him.
He set about his duties as usual. About
two hours after he.had arrived at the ware
house. Mr. Hubbard entered. He did not
at first appear to notice Edward, but in about
halt an hour summoned him to the office,
which was partitioned off from the remainder
of the spacious rooms in which goods were
stored.
He smiled pleasantly as Edward entered
his presence.
'Tell we frankly, did you not feel an im
pulse to keep the bill which you found last
night ?'
.1 hope you won't be offended with me,
Mr. Hubbard,' said Edward, 'it I say I did.'
‘Tell.ine all about it,' said Mr. Hubbard
with interest. 'What was it that withheld
you ? I should never have knoWn it.'

`Then what withheld you from taking it?'
'First 1 will tell you what tempted me,'
said Edward. 'My mother and sister are

'And yet you did not take it r
'No, sir, it would have been wrong and I
could not have looked you in the face after
it.'
Edward spoke in tones of modest coni
denoo.
Mr. Hubbard went to his desk and wrote
a check.
'How much do I pay you'now 2' he asked.
'Fifty. dollars a year,' said Edward.
'Henceforth your,duries will be increased,
and I will pay you two hundred. Will that

'Two hundred dollars a year I' exclaimed
Edward, his eyes spark.liog with delight. •
'Yes, at the end of the year that will be

'Thiess your religion changes you from a
mummy to a man, makes you honest in busi

dinner tablas, loyal to your country, affection
ate to your family. neighborly at the ballot
box, patient in affliction, humble, cheerful
and hopeful everywhere and always; unless
it links you in brotherhood to the poorest of
God's childreo, unless It leads you on er

prisons, as well as to cushioned pews and
saoramental boards unless year live Uhrist

Sabbath days—then your religion is spuri
