TRUTH AND HONESTY. A BEAUTIFUL LESSON FOR BOYS Two boys, of nearly the same age, were one day amusing themselves with that dangerous though not uncommon practice, pelting each other with stones. They had chosen one of the squares of the playground, thinking by this means to avoid mis chief. To the consternation of the thrower, how ever, a missile, instead of resting on the !shoulders of the boy at whom it was aimed, entered the library window of one of the lordly mansions forming the quadrangle. Why don't you take ,to your heels, you block head 7 you will have the polme tater you WWl'st you arc standing there!' was the exclamation of his companion, and be cnught him by the arm in order to drag him from the Fpot. The author of the mischief still retained his thoughtful position. It your father is obliged to pay for that, you will stand a chance of having a good thrashing, Jack,' the other boy urged. Never mind, Torn, leave me to myself,' was the reply, and the young delinquent moved with unfalt ering steps towards the door of the mansion, the knocker of which he unhesitatingly raised. The summons was answered by a footman. Is the master of •the house at home?' he with some difficulty inquired. .He ia.' 'Then I wish to see him if you please.' 'That you can't do my man; but I'll deliver any message for you' 'No, that will not do. I must—indeed I most see the gentleman himself.".rhe earnestnesa and perseverance of the boy at length induced him to comply with his request, and opening the door of the library, he apologized for asking his.tnaster to ace a shabby little fellow; that he could neither learn his business nor get rid of him. . Bring him in,' said the gentleman addressed, who having witnessed the transaction, and over heard the conversation, was curious to know the object or the boy's visit. The poor child, whose ideas had never soared above his lather's second floor, stood ter some moments in stupified amaze. went when ushered into an elegant appartment ; but remembering the painful circumstance which had brought him into this scene of enchantment, he in some measure gained his self possession. 'Yam very sorry, sir,' he began in a faltering voice,. but I have broken your window. My father is out of work just now, and cannot pay you for it, but if you will be kind enough to take the money a little at. a time, as I can get it, I will be sure to Make it up; and as he spoke be drew a few half pence from his pocket and laid them on the table. .m 'That's an honest speech, my lad; but how am I to be sure that you will fulfil your engagement Mr. Cavendish returned. 'Do you knew that I could have sent you to the station-house till the money is made up 7' . Olt, don't send me there, air, it would break toy dear mother's heart. I will pay you all—indeed I will, sir; and the poor boy burst into. a flood • I am glad you have so much consideration for your mother's feelings; and for her sake, I will trust to your honesty.' Oh thank you, sir—thank you. • But when do you expect to be able to maim another payment? This is a very small sum tow ards the price ofa large square of plate glass; and as bespoke, he glanced at the four halfpence which the boy had spread out. • This day week, sir, if you please.' • Very well, let it be so. At this hour I shall be at home to sea you' Poor Jack made his very best bow and retired. Tree to his appointment our high principled boy appeared at the door of Mr. Cavendish's mansion. As the footman had previously received orders to admit him, lie was immediately shown into the library. 'I have a shilling for you to-day, sir' - he said exultingly, and hie countenance was radiant with smiles. • Indeed, that is a large sum for a boy like you to obtain in so shod a time. I hope you came by it honestly?' A flush of crimson mounted to the cheek of poor Jack, but it was not a flush of shame. • I earned every penny of it, sir, excepting one my mother gave me to make it up. he energetical ly replied; and ho proceeded to say that he bad been on the look-out for jobs all that week ; that be bad held the horse of one gentleman and ran an er rand for another; and in this Way he accounted for eleven pence. 'Your industry and perseverance do you credit, my lad,' Mr. Cavendish exclaimed, his benevolent countenance lighted up with a smile. ' And nowt I should like to know your name and plate of alai deoce: Pietro. COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1848 will write it, sir, if you please. Indeed I brought a piece of paper for the purpose of putting clown the money. I hope I shall be able to make it all np in a few weeks, for I am trying to get a situation as an errand boy.' You can write then? Do you go to school?' 'Oh, yes, sir; I go to freo school! And Jack stepped forward to tako the pen which Mr. Caven dish held towards him. 'You write a tolerably good band my little man. You may, I think, do better than take an errand boy's place. Let me see if you have any knowledge of arithmetic.' Jack stood boldly up, and unhesitatingly replied to the various questions which were put to him. ' That will do my good boy. Now; when &ion. think you will bo able to come and bring me mnro money ?' 'I will c2me this Uwe . next week, il.l am alive. and well, air) •That was wisely added, my lad; for our lives are not in our keeping. This I see you have been taught.' Another week passed, and again Jack appeared; but his countenance wore an aspect of sadness. • I um very sorry, sir,' said he, I have been un. fortunate, and have only a small sum to give you.' And, as ho spoke, lie laid three pennyworth of half-pence before Mr. Cavendish. • I assure you air,' he earnestly added,. I have offered my services to every gentleman on horseback that I could ace.' ' 1 believe you my boy ; I sin pleased with your honest intentions. Perhips you will meet with bet ter success another lime. Lot ore see, you have now paid one shilling and five pence, that is not amiss for the time,' and with an encouraging smile, Mr. Cavendish sitfferred him to depart. Though Mr. Cavendish had from the first, con cealed his intentions, his heart was planning a work of benevolence, which was nothing loss than to befriend the poor boy whose noble conduct had won Iris admiration. For this end he, it tew days subsequently paid the parents a visist when he knew that the son would be at school. He related the incident which had brought him under his no. lice, and proceeded to ask whether Iris conduct towards themselves was equally praiseworthy. .0h yes, sir,' exclaimed the mother, her eyes filling with tears. He has ever been a dutiful child to us, and always acts in this straight fur. ward manner.' • He has indeed a noble spirit, sir,' the father re. joined; • and I am as proud of him as if he were a prince.' • Would you part with him r Mr. Cavendish asked. I have something in view for his future benefit.' • Undoubtedly we would, for his benefit,' was the reply of both. Well then, purchase for him a new suit (dap. parcl with these two guineas, and bring Ishii to my residence this day week. I will acquaint you with my views for him for the future.' Language cannot describe the heartfelt gratitude which beamed in the eyes of the happy parents, nor could they find utterance. When next our young hero came into the pre sence of his benefactor, his appearance was certain ly altered fur the better, though no disadvantage of dress rouhl rob his noble countenance of its lofty expression. Mr. Cavendish had previou,ly made arrangements for him to become un initiate of his own house. and had also entered his name as a pu. pil in a neighboring school. Jahn Williams is now receiving a liberal educa tion, and enjoying all the advantages which wealth can procure. Such a sudden change of position and prospects would in many instances prmo furious to the moral character; but with a mind bossed upon solid principles tehich our young friend possesses, little fear may be eine' tained that such will be the result. The above little sketch is authenticin every recited, except that the names of the parties are concealed. The events occurred a few months ego, and are here made public, with the hope that the truth and hcnesty, and judicious benevolence exhibited, may stimulate others to " go and do likewise." =12122 THE THREE EMPERORS. I translate, dear 'Spirit, the following story from 'Lea Fetes et Souveners do Congress de Vi enne.' I think I have seen something like it be fore, but do not clearly remember where- Thu book from which I have 'done into English,' the pleasant anecdote below, wus published in Paris in the year 1843, but so fur as J know, has never been re-produced in our own Inngosge. I propose, if this pleases you, to send some further extracts. It was written by on eye.witness of that glorious scene of devlish diplontacy.nod royal revelry, the like of which, the world will probably never look upon again, I mean the Congress of Vienna. Yours, Fax. What makes you so gay, my dear General?' said I, as one morning the Comte de Vitt entered my apartments, laughing very heartily. 'O! a truly amusing adventure which has just been related to me by Ouvaroff. However, if the details had not been given to him by the Emperor himself, I should hardly have believed them.' I seems that a young officer of the Navy, n pro. tege of Count Nesselrode—who, by an odd comei. dame had never been at St. Petersburg, nor seen the Emperor, was sent from Vienna,as • bcnrer of important despatclie•As.trender, here, is, es you j.„ th the capital, fond of walking through the streets and the public p ..... ing his majesty issued from the palace, wraWl24ll; his ordinary military cloak, when he met a young officer of his Navy, booted and spurred, [did he be. long to the horse marines 7] who seemed to be en. deavoring to find out the mode of entering the lmee.tst residence, and to be quite uncertain to wards what point he should direct his steps. Al exander accosted him. • You appear to be seeking somewhat 7' said he. • True enough!' answered the officer, 'I have a dispatch to deliver to the Emperor of Russia. I was directed to the Palais de 'burg: Here I am! But having been but a few moments in Vienna, I do not know to whom to address myself that I may ' be guided, and introduced to his presence. Alexander was charmed with the frank and open air of tho young man, and fur his own amusement, determined to preserve the incognito lie bad as. Burned. You cannot now sec the Emperor,' said he. 'He is not at this time in the palace. At two o'clock ho will ho ready to receive you.' The conversation then entered upon a most amicable and familiar tone. The Czar questioned the young officer concerning his family, his ca reer, his hopes, etc., and learned from him, that en• tering very young into the Navy, he had never been to court or seen his sovereign. At laet,after walking and talking together for half an hour, Al exander turned to the young officer and said to him kindly : • Sir ! you may deliver to me your despatches. I am Alexander ! •Capital joke!' said the ether smiling, ' you the Emperor • Yes! the Emperor of Russia r • Good, very As much as lam the Emperor of China!' , •Well' why not.? Who knows that you may not bi the Emperor of China?' Very true who knows just as you are the Emperor of-Russia!' pleasantly answered the gay son of Neptune. Alexander, more and more pleased with a mis take that promised to become truly comic,entered into the jest with his whole heart, and-their jocose conversation wont on, until they had reached the ramparts. Soon after the Emperor perceived the Ring of Prussia walking towards them. ' Dcryo-ta understand German? . said ho to his companion. 'Not a word ^ answered the,other.. Alexander immediately advanced, and address ed a few words to Frederick William, in German; then returning to the young officer, ho took him by the hand, and said Here now is a capital opportunity for making you acqtraiiiiia with the King of Prussia. Sir, an officer of my fleet, whom 1 have the tumor to pre sent to your majesty Good ! better and better!' said the young bear er of dispatches. The King of Prussia! You— you arc the Emperor of Russia—and I—l am the Emperor of China. Why not 1 my captain says, that on his own deck, after God, he is Supreme Ruler; and sin I not his Lieutenant T By the way, cousin, how are matters and things in Prussia ; and how are the good people of Berlin? Your prede cessor, Frederick the Great, was ineontestibly a true hero! and your grandfather, too, Peter the First of Russia!' added he, bowing with mock po liteness to Alexander; 'great as they were, though, I doubt whether they could hove imitated the ex ample of my grandsire, who, at the battle of Teliesine, blew himself up with his ship, rather than surrender to the Turks !` Although all this approached so nearly to inso. 'once, it was spoken with the frankness and good humor belonging to the sailor all over the world. Not only did the two sovereigns take no offence, but their mirth testified to their enjoyment of the young man's open.heartedusse and merriment. In the course of their walk, the three arrived at the gate ut the public garden. The young officer very politely invited his royal companions to enter it, and continue their conversation over a glass of wine. Lcd away by the folly of the moment, the two sovereigns consented. It is necessary to have been a witness of all that thereafter passed, to be lieve in the possibility of the scenes that ensued. Refreshments were served, glasses clinked famil iarly, while the two conversed without constraint, 4nd with all that excess permitted by a royal de. butieli in such a place. 'Here's to your health, my brother,' said iVil. lain of Prussia, to Alexander of Russia. • Vrai Dieu !' replied tho Emperor, 'there's nothing wanting to u toast like that, but the salvos of the artillery of our respective capitals.' 'Let it be as you wish, then,' said the sailor, drawing a pistol and cocking it—' hero is a cannon of small celibre, it is true, but it will answer for want of a better!' lle was about to lire, and change into a scanda. bons scene, whet was only a sportive relaxation, when the monarchs with difficulty persuaded him to dispense with n demonstration so noisy. At length they quitted the place ; but the young ullicer oh:ornately insisted upon paying •the shot,' and they note compelled to allow iiilll to do so. ite.telting the buslion, thc armed began together around the two monarchs and to show them the customary :narks of deference. M. do Rielilieu addressed Alexander with that respect and rever ence due (7) to majesty. The naval officer, who had served under the orders of the Duke at Odessa, recognized him, turned pale, and soon saw that he had been the dupe of a royal mystification. But quichiy reassured by the kind trimmer of the Em. peror, lie hastened to deliver his despatches. Alex. ander received them with a smile at once gracious and mischievous, and with a jester° of benevolent condescension, dismissed the confused mariner, who received from his sovereign an invitation to dine the next day at the imperial table. It is hardly necessary to add, that the jovial sailor was nut compelled like his grandfather, to !welt the aid of o barrel of gunpowder, to help him rise in the world.—N. Y. Spirit of the Times.

And what the d—t do you mean by almost driv ing over rue 1' replied the holder, in the trao Yan. kco spirit of answering ono question by asking another. 'Let go the horse!' I will not:' The driver dismounted, advanced toward the other, whip in hand, and shortening hie hold upon the handle, sung out in a voice of thunder, I tell you, sir, let go that horse r I'll be d—d if I do:' You won't 7' No.' Well, then: replied the driver, throwing his whip into the vehicle, and planting his hands cool. fortably in his pockets, Well, then, just hold him, will you?' $o saying, with a petits bow and quiz. zieal grin, vanished into the cabin. The crowd of passengers who had been standing 'spectators of the fight' roared aloud, not quite as gently, however, as sucking dome, end the contending party, dropping the reins as if they were unpleasantly warm, marched off to the other end of the boat, his whole appearance bearing a striking resemblance to that of a man detected in the act of perloining hie neighbor's mutton. AR r. rIXD, Ja. SIX MONTHS. [WHOLE NUMBER, 944. RIDICULE. Ridicule is the dagger-point of Satan—the most unworthy support of disappointed friends—con victed depravity's last resort. The wicked may employ it with some appearance of propriety; but the professing christian appropriates it at his peril. For the very existence of ir;.is. a proof positive of the weakness of the cause avowed, or the inability of its supporter to defend it by a more worthy and true course of resorting. As the proud oppressor, weakened in his sovereignty by his own unjust ac tion, takes flight to the protection of his towers, and with unequalled numbers, beats back, with ten fold cruelty, his more worthy opponents—so the supporter of a weak and unjust cause, finding his strength declining—and too proud to submit—re treats to the battlements of ridicule, and renews. the, contest, though less honorably, yet more sue.: cessfully. Ridicule may be considered as threefold in 'ope ration. Itsfirst, and most cruel tendency is Loop. press, or distress the simple minded, or modest; a number of whom compose a portion of altnost ev. cry assembly. Its second, and moat wicked, is to feud the unholy appetites of the eoiddisposed, who unfortunately, are too frequently, the greatest ad. misers and supporters of angry discussion: aid its third, is to excite the disgust or contempt of the no ble minded. Rather titan carrying conviction to the heart of an opponent,it but strengthens the op position which we should labor to win, and sets him more distant from us. It is the re-thrusted poign. ard, stirring up the already painful wound to ten fold excitement and agony. Christ never ridiculed those who di f fered from him. Thought overstepping the boundary of opin ion they resorted to violence, and hung him man gled and bleeding upon the ignominious cross. lie turned not, in anger noon his oppressors, nor call ed in indignation, the flaming legions at his com mand, to crush their wicked designs; but while bearing the unspeakadle tortures of the flesh-pierc ing nails and spy ir, lie plead their cause before Heaven, otTering to his father the plea of ignorance in their behalf. Here was en example worthy of the christian professor; an example which his very name declares should be appreciated. Is man greater than his Saviour that he should set up his judgment against the opinion of his fellow ? Is mortal superior to the Eternal that lie should pun ish with cutting ridicule all who differ from him in thought, speech, or action ! Oh thiat the lic.irt of man was more open to the promptings of charity, which, like the new fallen snow, shuts out front our prejudiced view, the faults of others, only to nourish in the heart the vegeta tion of righteousness, so necessary to its immortal sustenance. Charity is as necessary to the Christian eharac. ter, us food is to the natural body. The want of it has been the rnin.of many, safe, but in their own conceit: while legions, wu fear, deceived in like manner, are wending their way down the same broad road to ruin. Observe the course of profes sors in their personal disputes—how harsh in every utterance—how distorted their countenances—how cruel and condemnatory their parting expressions. Separating in anger, each goes on his way coin; pinining °film other, and too often, with a determi nation-to seek seine means of petty revenge. Mark the excitement and anger displayed in our business meetings. The smallest matter will ellen create disorder—words arc spoken in ginger—liarsh allusions are made, and the more talented brethren display themselves at the cost of the most worthy 'end weak. 'Valle up any one of our sectarian pe riodicals, and lot what renown is displayed by dis puting correspondents, while each endeavors' to crush the other, the people quietly smile with ad. miretion or contempt of the favorite champion, of their choice. The truth seems lost in the hem bastic array of mere words; and the termination of all is that infidelity is strengthened at the ex pense of christianity. But. this is not the only ex tent to which the spirit. of ridicule and inconsist ency has reached. We have seen ministers of the Gospel indulge in it to the utmost of their ability, and even at the risk of the holy Interests. We have seen the very activity and devotion of the church, atter long years of confidence and respect, held lip before the world, as a laughing stork ; whose only alleged crime is difference of opinion with their pastor. This should not be. It is an cr. ror into which too many have fallen,and which calls loudly fur reform. It arises we think from the want of (het charity so highly commended by Christ to-the Apostles, and to the illustration of which whole chapters of the Sacred Scriplurca are devoted, Charity cannot exist in an tames. pliere of 7 idicule "and ridicule vanishes at once at the approach of charity, as escapes the morning dew front the presence of the sun. The only true object of controversy, is the ad rancement of truth. And to accomplish this how many obstacles have to be overcome. Error deep rooted mud be dislodged,and old and established prejudices aro to be surmounted. Though these may be numerous, it is vain for us to hope fur vic tory till they be substantially r.VCITOUIC, And what arc the most effectual weapons, as well as the most consistent? Ridicule will nut do, frir every stroke of this infernal instrument tends to catifirm error and strengthen prejudice.
