receivéd with general laughter, and taunting
remarks—among which we heard a harsh fellow close by ts, ery’out—.
“He forgets where he is. Thinking to take
hold of some ponderous law book, he has
. made a mistake, and got the Bible.” “i.

We take pleasure in relating an incident,
which greatly enlistéd our sympathies, held
us spell bound by its interest, and finally
made our heart leap with joy, atits happy
. termination.
In the iy of 184—, we chanced to be
spending a ¥e
country town [Harrisburg] in Pennsylvania. .
It was court week, and to relieve us from the
somewhat monotonous incident of village life, .
we stepped into the room where the court had .
convened.
Among the prisoners in the box, we saw a!
lad about ten years of age, whose sad and .
pensive countenance, his young and innocent .
appearance, caused him to look sadly out of. -.membrances—and we, by
place among the hardened criminals by whom .
he was surrounded. Close by the box, and .
manifesting the greatest interest in the proceedings, sat a tearful woman, whose anxious .
glance from the judge to the boy, left us no
room to doubt that if was his mother.—We
turned with sadness from the scene, toinguire .
of the offence of the prisoner, and learned he .
was accused of stealing money.
The ease was soon commenced, and by the .
interest manifested by that large crowd, we .
found that oar heart was not the only one in
which sympathy for the lad existed.
we pitied him! © The bright star of youth had
vanished from his face, and now it more éxpressed the cares of the aged. His young sister—a bright eyed girl—bad gained admission to his side, and cheered him with the
whisperings of hope. But that sweet voice,
which before had caused his beart to bound
with happiness,
shame had brought upon him.
The progress of the case acquainted us
with the circumstances of the loss, the extent
of which was but a dime—no more !
The lad’s employer, a weaithy, miserly and .
unprincipled manufacturer, had made use of
it. for the purpose of what he called “testing
the boy’s honesty.’ It was placed where
from its very position the lad would oftenest
see it, and least suspect the trap. A day
passed, and the master to his mortification, .
not pleasure, found the coin untouched.— .
Another day passed, and yet his object was
not gained. He was, however, determined
that the boy should take it, and so let it re-.
main.
This continued ‘dtiptation Was too much
for the lad’s resistence. The dime was taken.
A single present for that Tittle sister was purchased by it. But while returning home to
gladden her heart, his own was made heavy
by being arrested for theft !—the nature of
which he little knew. These circumstances
were substantiated by sevéral of his émployer’s workmen, who were‘also parties to the .
An attorney urged upon the jury the .
necessity of making this “littlé rogue” an .
plot.
example to others, by punishment. His address had great effect upon all that heard it. .
Before I could seé many tears of sympathy .
for the lad, his widowed mother and faithful .
sister. But their eyes were all dry now, and .
none looked as if they cared for, or expected .
ought else but ‘a conviction:
The accuser‘ sat ina conspicuous place,
smiling, as in fiend-iked exultation, over the
misery he had brought upon that poor, but
oneé bappy trio.
We felt that there was but little hope for
the boy ; and the youthful appearance of the
attorney, who had volunteered his defence;

added only to the grief his }
. quotation carried its moral to their hearts, —
Then followed an address, which, for its
thetic eloquence, we have never heard ext.
j led. Its influence was like magic. s We saw
the guilty accuser leave the room in the fear
of personal violence. The prisoner. ‘looked
. hopeful—the mother smiled again, and, before its conclusion, there was not aa eye in
court that. was not moist. The,speech affecting to that degree which causes tears—it held
its hearers spell-bound.
The little time that was necessary to transpire before the verdict. of the jury could be
. learned, was a period, of great anxiety and
. suspense.” But when their whispering consul; tation ceased. and these happy words, ‘Not
. Guilty,’? came from the foreman, they passed
like a thrill of electricity from lip todip—

EmpLoyMent.—God pity the man who has
nothing to, do. Idlenecss is mother of more
. misery and crime than all other causes ever
. thought or dreamed of by the profenndest
. thinker or the wildest theorist.
The idea that. labor—manual labor—is degrading, is not only foolish, but wicked.!, Too
. proud to work! Strange pride ; better do
anything than nothing. Labor is the basis of
wealth, of science, of art, of everything
which gives comfort. to the physical, and dig. nity to the spiritual life of man. Too proud
. to work!
. The devil is always busy with those who
are most idle. If they don’t work, he will.
A mind uncultivated will run to waste, as
sure asa neglected. garden will be full of
weeds and croples. The physical organization requires action, work, or it. will be effemuinate and powerless. He who can lift up
twenty pounds to day, by practice and a temperate use ef the physical organs, may by
and by astonish the world with his Herculean
performances.
Look at the young man who has no steady
employment of any kind. See the bad habits that are hy degrees growing upon him.
Watch his progress in dissipation and-his end
in crime, And should he have courage and
. strength sufficient left, after years of indo. lence, to break away from the degrading habit, how much will he long to live over the
wasted hours and years—so that he might
. better improve them.
