Ka mo vv." lliw lad lutiided liis riDhiycr a long bill that had been jilaced upon his desk icr fxnniinaiion. "Jlcic is an error in the calculation of ten tlollarg which tl'cy Irtvtj made airainst iiicniseivos; ana another ot ten dollar in the footing." "Also niraniBt theiiisflvi'S?" "Yes, sir." 1 lie merchant smiled in a war that struck the lad as peculiar "Twttntj dollars against tliemstlves," no remarked m a kind ot pleasant sur prise. Trusty clerks they must have." Shall I correct the figures?" asked the la.l. ttT I . .1 . a a vj: let t neni correct tiieir own mis takes; we don't examine bills for other people a benefli, replied the merchant "It will be time to rrctitv thwsu errors when they hud them out. All so much gain, as it now stands." 'PI... I - j ,; . . , a lie y a uo.icaiK moral sense wis shocked at so unexpected a remark, lie was the son of n poor widow, who had given him to understand that to be just was tne tuny oi men. iMr. Carman, the merchar.t, in whose employment he had bee n for only a fuw monuis, was an out tiieml oi Ins lather in whom he noosed the hiirhest eonti denco. In 1'aet, James had always looketl upon him as it kind of model man, nnd when lr. Carman agreed to take him into his store, he felt that a good fortune whs hi ins w ar. "Let them" vorrvct their takes." own mis- These words madoa strong impression on thu miiid of James Lewis. When fi.st spoken bv Mr. Carman, and with tho meaning then involved, he felt, as we nave sani, shocked; but as he turned tliem overngnin in his thoughts, nnd con ntcted their utlviauen with the iirinon .... I .. !. I. , '. mi Kiiiuu ao nigii iii ins mother s esti mation, ho began to think that perhiipt the thing was fair enough in business, iUr. Carman was hardly the man to do wrong. A lew days after James had examined the bill, a clerk from the house by winch it had been rendered called lor bcuiemeiit. i no lad, who was present, waiieti w nn interest to sec w lielher Mr, L aniiaii would speak ol the error. Hut he made ho remark. check for the amount of the bill rendered was filled up unu n receipt lUKen. "Is that right r Jiiines asked himself this fjnestion ins moral sense said no; but the fact that Mr. Carman had so acted ber.il. del eel Ills mind "It may be the way in btisiucsi" so he thought to hunsell "but it. don't look lioutst. I wouldn t have believed it of him." Mr. Carman had a kind of way with him that won the boy's heart, dild nat urally tended to make him judge what ever he miuhl do hi a most favorablu manner. "I w ish he had corrected that error." he said to himself a great many limes when thinkini' in a uleaiwl wav of Mr. Carman, and his own good fortune in having bum received into his employ intuit. "It don't look right, but it may be it's the way of business." Ono dav ho went to tint 1io.nk- and drew the money on a check. In count ing it over ho found that tho teller had paid him fifty dollars too much, so he went back to the counter and told him of his mistake. Tha teller thanked him, and ho returned to the stora with tho consciousness iu his mind of having dene iini. "Ihe teller overpaid ma fiftr dollar " he said to Mr. Carman, as lio handed him the money. "Indeed!" replied the latter, n )iht breaking over his countenance; and he hastily uotmted the bank bills. The light faded Us tho last bill left Us fingers, "There's no misfaVo, James A touo of disappointment was in his voice "Oh, I gave fifm tack the fifty dollars. Wasu't that right?" "You simpleton 1" exclnifnad Mr. Cab ins n, "don't yod know that bank mis takes ara never Perfected ) If tho teller had paid you fifty doHar short he would not have rtvade it right." Tho warm blood mantled' (0 the cheek James under this reproof. It is ofteu the case that more nhaina u kit for a blttnder than a crime. In this instance tho lad felt a sort of mortification at hav ing done what Mr. Carman was pleased to call a silly thing, and he made no his mind that if they should ever overpay hhn thousand dollars at the bank he should bring the amount to his employer, and let him do as he pleased w ith tho money "Izet poool takes." said J do look after their own tllle- Mr. Carman. James Lewis pondered these things in his heart. Tho impression they made was too strong ever 10 to forgotten. "It ttlat be figlit," lie said, but ho did not feof altogether satisfied. A month or two after the occurrence of tho bank mistake, Jam's counted over his weekly wages, just received from Mr. Carman, he discovered that he was paid half a dollar too much. Tho first impulse of his mind was to return tho half dollar to his employer, and it was on his lips to ssy, "You hare given me half a dollar too much, sir," when the unforgotten words, "Let peo ple look alter their own mistakes." flush ing upon his thoughts, nude him hesi tate. To hold parley with evil is to be overcome. "I must think about this," sail James, ns he put the money into his pocket. "If it is true in one case it is true in sn ot lief; Mr. Carman don't correct mis takes that people make in his favor, and he enu't complain w hen the rule works against hiime'.f." But tho boy was far from being in n comfortable state. lie fell that to keep half a dollar would bo 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 apent it for his own gratification. Alter he had done this it came suddenly into his head that Mr. Carman had only been trying him, and he was tilled with anxiety and i.larm. Not long after Mr. Carman repeated the same mistake. James kept the half dollar ttith less Institution. "Lot him correct his own mistakes," said he, resolutely; "that's ilie doctrine he acta on with other people, and he can't coll))laln if he gets paid back in the same coin he puts in circulation.

He had taken tin evil counselor into his heart, M imulated a spirit of covelousiiess latent in almost every mind which caused him to desire thu possession Of things beyond his ability to noiain. James had good business qualifications, Mini so pleased Mi Carman by his intelli gence, industry, nnd tact with customers, thill he advanced him rapidly, and gave him, bu.ore 1 e was eighteen years old, the most reliable position in "the store, nut James hud hariied something more irom nis employer than how to do bust ness well. He had learned to he dishon est. He had never forgotten the first lesson lie Dad received in this bad set once; ho had acted not only in two in s'ances, but in a hundred, and always to the injury of Mi. Carman. He had 'long since given up waiting for mistakes to bo mane in nis mvor, out originated them m; Inc varivd nnd complicated transac tions oi large business in w inch he was trusted implicitly; for it had never oc curred to Mr. Carman that hi, failure to be jn t to the letter might prove a snare i tins young map, James irrew sham, ciiniiincr and skill ful; always on the alert, always bright and ready to meet imv annioaelios in. warn a discovery of bis wronir done' bv hisotuploycr, who hold linn in the highest rcsrnrd. Tims it wont on until James was in his twentieth year, when the merchant had his suspicions aroused bv a letter which ktt of the vounir iiianas not kei'iiimr the most respectable company, and as spending money loo freely for a clerk on uniueraie snir.ry. 15efore this time James had removed his mother into u iilpusnnt h,nu fur which he paid a rent of four hundred lollars : Ins salary was enrhi. hnnili-cil but he deceived Ins mothei by tellins her it was fifteen hundred. Every comfort that she needed was fully supplied, and she ws beginning to think that after a long and ainful struggle with the world hor happier days had come. James was at ins desk when the utter was received liv Mr C.n rn, ti Ilia I hi ..- ed at his employer und sawliim change countenance suddenly. Ho read it over twice, nnd James saw that the eontents produoed disturbance. Mr. Carman glanced toward tho desk, and their eyes mot ; it was only for a moment, but ilia look that James received mado his heart stop boating. mere was something about the move ments of Mr. Carman for the rest of the day that troubled the young man. It was plain to him that Bttsiiciou had bpen aroused by that letter; O, how bitterly now did ho repent, in dread of discovery and punishment, tho evil of which ho nao been guilty! Exposure would dis grace and ruin him, nnd how tho head of his widowed mother even to the grave. ! ou are not Wf II this eveninc?." said Mrs. Ijewis. as alio looked at her son's changed face across tho table, and notic ed that he did not eat. "My head aches." "Perhaps the tea will make you feel better." "I'll lio down on the sofa iu tho parlor for a short time." Mrs. Lewis followed him into the par lor in a little whiles and, sitting down on the sofa on which he was lying, placed her hand upon his head. Ah, it would take more than the loving pressure of a mothers band to ease the pain Irom w hich he was m florin?-. The touch of that pure hand Increased tho pain to agony. "Do vou feel better?" asked Mrs. Low- ia, She had remained soma time whir her hand oif his fbrcIica'J.- Not moon." he renliod. and risinff as he spoke, bo added, "I thiuk a walk in the open air will do mo good." UJffirt co otH, James, emd Mrs. Lewis, troubled feeling coming into her heart. "Iill only walk a few smiares." Ano? James, went from the parlor aud passed into mo street.- a iu I I on Is n "There is something more than head ache the matter with him," thought Mra. Lewi. For half an hour James w alked with out any purpose in his mind b.vond the escape from the presence of his" mother At last his walk brought him near Mr! Carman's store, nnd at passing ho was surprised at seeing a light within. "What can this mean J"' he asked him self, a new fear creeping, with its shud dering impulse into his heart. He listened by the door and windows, bnt he could hear no sound within. " I'hero's something wrong," he said ; what can it l,.y lr lMj discovered, what will bo the 1 of it ? Htiiu ! ruin ! Mr poor mother !" The wretched young man hastened on, walked the street for two hours, when he returned home. His mother met him when he entered, and, with unconcealed anxiety, naked him it he were better. He said yes, but in a manner that only increased the trouble she fell, and passed up hastily to his own room. In the morning the strangely altered face of James, as he met his mother at the breakfast table, struck alarm into her heart. He was silent, and evaded .ill l.nr questions. While they sat at. the table the door bell nuig loudly. The sound startled James, and he turned his head to listen iu n nervous way. "Who is it ?" asked Mrs. Lewis. "A gentleman w ho w ishes to see Mr. James," replied the girl. James roso instantly, and went out in to the hall, shutting the dining room door as ho did so. Mrs. Lewis sat wait ing her sou's return. She heard him coining back in a few moments ; but he did not enter the dining room. Then he returned along the halfto the street door, and she heard it shut. All was silent. Starting up she ran into the passage, but James was not there. Ho had l'oiio away with the person who had called All, that was a sad p-iin an-ui- Mr. ex- dis- dol- ofli- Caiman had spent half the night" in amining the accounts of James, and covered fiauds of over six thousand lar. Blindly indignant, he sent an cci to .iiiest ii i in eariy in the morning ; and it was with this officer Uiat he went a wav from his mother, fccr to return. "the young villain shall lie in the bed he has made for himsclt !" exclaimed Mr. Carman, in his bitter indignation. And he made the exposure ccmplete. On the liial he showed an esgrr desire to have him convicted, and presented sueh an array of evidence that tho jury could not give any other verdict than guilty. The poor mother was in court, ami audible iu the silence that followed canio her convulsed sobs upon tho air. The presiding judge addressed the culprit, and asked if he had anything to say why the sentence of tho law should not be pronounced against him. All eyes were tinned upon the pale agitated young man who roso with an effort, and Ir.ined against the railing by which he stood, as if needing tho support. "Will it please your honors," he said, "to direct my prosecutor to come a litlie nearer, so that I can look at him and your honors at the same time ?" Mr. Carman w as directed to come for ward to where the boy stood. James looked at him steadily for a few momenta and then turned to the iuiVc. "What I have to say to your honors is tins, (jic spoke ':alnily and distinctly), "and it may in a degree extenuate, tho' cannot excuse my crime. I went into that man's store an innocent boy, aud it ho had been an honest man I would not have stood before you to-day its a crimi nal." Mr. Carman appealed to the court, for protection against an allegation of such an outrageous character; but he was peremptorily ordered to be silent. James went, on iu a firm voice. "Only a few weeks after I wont into his employment I examined a bill by his di rection ami discovered an error of twen ty dollars." The face of Mr. Carman erimsoned. "You remember it, 1 see," said James, "and I shall have cause to remember it while I live. The error was in firnr of Mr. Carman. I asked if I should eorrrcl tho figures, nnd ho nnswered, "Xo, let them correct their own mistakes ; we don't examine bills for other people's benefit." It was my first lesson in lis honesty. I saw the bill settled, and Mr. Carman take twenty dollars that was not his own. 1 felt shocked ut first ; it seem ed sueh u wrong thing, lint soon after he called me a simpleton for handiur back fifty dollar bill lo tho teller of u bank. which he had overpaid ine ou a chuck. mid then .May I ask tho protection of the court?' said Mr. Carman. "Is it trim what tho lad savs ?" asked the judge. Mr. Carman hesitated and looked con fused ; nil tyes wero on his face; and judges aud jury, lawyers nnd spectators, telt certain that he was guilty ot loading the unhappy young man astray. "Not long afterward," resumed Lewis, receiving my wages 1 touud that Mr. Carman had paid me fifty cents too much. I was about to give it bavk to him, when 1 remembered his remark about lotttiug people correct thoir ow n mistakes, and said to myselt Met him correct his own errors,' and dishonestly kept the money.
