" Here Is an error in the calculation of dollars which they have mode agnlnit themselves, and another of ten dollars the footing.'' " Also against themselves?" " Yak, «lr." The merchant smiled in a way that struck the lad at peculiar. " Twenty dollars, and against themselves,'' be remarked in a kind of pleasant surprise. "Trusty clerks they must have." " Shalt I cnrrMt the figures?" asked lad. " No; let them correct their own mistakes. We don't examine bills for other people's benefit,'' replied the merchant. " It will be time to rectify those errors when they find them out. All so much gain at it now stands." The'tlL's delicate moral sense was shocked -at so unexpected a remark, n^asasthe son of a poor srldow, who had given him to understand that to be just was the duty of man. M. Carman, the merchant in whoee employment be had been for only a few montlia, was an old friend of his father, and a person in whom. he rrpoeed the highest confidence. In fact, Jamca had alsrays looked upon him aa a kind agreed to take him into his store he felt that great good fortune was In his , " Let them correct their own mistakes.'' These words made a strong Impression on the mind of James LewIs. When first spoken by Mr. Carman, and with tho meaning then involved, he felt, as we have said, shockbut as he turned thetn over again in his thoughts, and connected their with a person who stood to high in his mother's estimation, he began to think that perhaps the thing was fid r enough in business. Mr. Carwas hardly the man to do wrong. few days after James had examined hill, a clerk from the house by which It had been rendered, called for settlement The lad, who was present, waited with interest to sec whether Carman would apeak of the error. lie made no remark. A check for amount of tho Mil as rendered was up, and a receipt taken. "Is thai right?" James salted himself this question. Ills moral sense said no; bat the feet that Mr. Carman had so acted, bewildered his mind. " It may be the way in business " — so he thought to himself—" but It don't honest. I wouldn't have believed of him." Mr. Carman hod a kind of way with which won the boy's heart, and naturally leaded to make Mm Judge whatever he might do in a most thror- " I wish he had corrected that error," he said to himself a great many when thinking in a pleased way of Mr. Carman, and his own good furtutfr In having been received into his employment. "It don't look right, bat may be it's, the way of business." One day he went to the bunk and drew ths money on a check. In countit o*r be found that the teller had paid MR fifty dollars too much, so he paid Ml much,

went back to the counter and told him of hit mistake. The teller tlmnkad and he returned pi the store with the consciousness in his mind of havdone right " The teller overpaid me fifty dolbe said to Mr. Carman, as he handed Mm the money. " Indeed," replied the latter, a light breaking over his countenance; and he counted the bank bills. The light fitded as the last MU left finger. "There's no mistake, James. " A tone of disappointment was in his "O, I gave Mm bark the fifty dollars. Wasn't that right?" "You simpleton!" exclaimed Mr. Carman, "dent you know that bank teller had (laid you fifty dollars short he would not lave made it right." The warm Wood mantled the cheek of James under this reproof. It is often the case that more shame it felt for a blunder than a crime. In this instance the lad Ht a sort of mortification at having done what Mr. Carman was pleased to call A silly thing, and he mode up Ms mind that if they should ever overpay him a thousand dollars at the bank he should bring the amount to his employer, and let him do as he p loaned with the money. "Let people look after their ovru mistakes," said Mr. Carman. James Lewis pondered these things in his. heart. The impression they mad* was too strong ever to be forgotten. "It may be right," he said, hut he did not feel altogether satUfeaL A month or two after the occurrenee of that hank mistake, as James counted over his weekly wages. Just received from Mr. Oarhian, be discov- . er^lhat he was paid half a dollar too ' The first impulse of Ma mind was to return the half dollar to bit employer, i and It was on Mi lips to my, "You have given me half a dollar loo much, sir," when the unforgotten words,

But the boy "was very BP ftoen being M a comfortable stale. He felt Hurt - to keeyi half s dollsr W(fald be A Rshqn-, S. eat act. StiU be could not asuke up Ms mind to retam.ii, at feaet not 11. . James did not return the half dollar, but spent it for his own gratifies titm. After be tiMrdane this It come suddenly into Ms -head thai Mr. Carman hod only been trying Mm, and be was filled with anxiety and alarm, ag Not long after, llr. Carman repeated "k the same mistake. Janxs kept the half dollar with led* hesitation., m " Let him correct his own mistake," «t said he. readlntely ; "Mist's the doctrine rv he acts on with other people, and he can't complain if he gets paid In the same coin be pats in circulation. I Just want a half a dollar." ' " From tliis time the fine moral sense of James Levis was bhmtrd He had n- taken an evil tinuanllir tato his heart, a- stimulated a spirit of coretousncas— ry intent in ainioit eVery kind— which caused Mm to desire ths possession of ed things beyond Ms ability to obtain. James had good business quallflcations, mid so pleased Mr. Carman by or his intelligence, industry and tact with ^ customers, that ho advanced him rap'T idly, and gave Mm. before be waaeigh- ] tocn years of age, the moot reliable position in the store. But James had 94 learned something more from his ccik' plover than how to do business well 10 He hwl learned to be dishonest. He had never forgotten the first lesson he received in Ms first science; he hnd " acted not only in two instances, but w over a hundred, and almost always to r' the injury of Mr. Carman. He had long since given up waiting for mistakes to be made in his ikvor. but originated them in the varied and compli11 catcd transactions of a targe husines-. 1B in which he was trusted implicitly;. for it never occurred to Mr. Cortnan that his failure to be just to the letter might *" prove • snare to this young man. 1,5 Juines grew sharp, cunnlngkhd ikill- *" Ail; always on the alert; Uways bright, r" and ready to meet any approaches to- " " wnifi a discovery of his wrong doing by i Ms employer, who held Mm in the Ugliest regard. lr Thus it went oo until James was in Ms twentieth year, when the merchant c" hnd bis suspicions aroused by a letter '8 that spoke of the young man as not ^ keeping the moat respectable obmpafiy. R| as spending money too freely for n clerk on u moderate salary. ^ Before this li mo James hail removed which he paid a reut of fourhun&rvd or ; dollars; his salary was eight hundred. *' ! but hi' deceived his mother by telling her it was fifteen hundred. Every 111 I comfort she needed was fully supplied, ■ and tho was hrgtmi ing to fti! that after a long and palslbl straggle with tho world her happier days had conic. James mis at Ms desk when tne letter was received by Mr. Carman. He lH looked at his employer and saw him plj change countenance suddenly. He read it over twice, arid James saw that tll tho contents produced disturbance.— ,j Mr. Cannon .glanced toward- the _ desk, and tholr ajrc* met; it was only ,r. for a moment, but the look that James received mode bis heart slop ,r. beating. nJ.

Fivx Kinds or Coksciescr. — There are five kinds of conscience on foot in the world: First areJfffiomnl anything, neither beholds' the sli^ln ly, foe flattering conscience, whose spcecTirl worac than silence itaclf; which though seeing sin, soothes men the committing thereof. Thirdly, the seared conscience, which has neither sight, speech nor sence in men that are past feeling. FourtMy, a wounded conscience, freighted with penitence for sin. The last and best Is quiet and clear conscience, pacified Jesus Christ. Of these, the fourth is incomparably better than the three so that a vrite man would not take a world to change with them. Yea, a wounded conscience it rather than sinful; an affliction, not an offence; and is In the ready way at the next rem oral, to be turned into a quiet conscience. — Thomai FuUtr. It la by Jesus Christ, who is the true Manna, the Bread of life, that we live. By Ms sacrifice our sins are atonad for; by Ms spirit our hearts are renewed. He imparts spiritual life; without him we can do nothing. He J is the food of our faith; we ore to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is tlie food of our low; we low Mm becnusC be first loved as. He Is tbe food of our obedience; the love of Christ 1 constraineth us. He Is the food of our ! peace; bring justified by fclth are hare peace With (Wff through our Lord ' Jeans Christ.

, .1 ■ . frs-lr.."!! .!■* . temperance! - I Tell it uot In Goth, publish it not in ] tbe streets of Aakalou. 1 The most anomalous tMng in the ' moral universe is, tbe position occupied by the Christian community in refer- ' ence to the question of Twnperane®; ^ We designate th. Christian community, fkeauae it is to It that we look for j iu- any great moral moremeat, especially one like the Temper- , one* movement, wo closely allied aa It is to onr holy religion. It is paradoxical in the extreme to , talk of love for souls, and at the tame time countenance that which is annually sending about 10,000 human being* into the drunkard's eternity. And what is the position of the to-day with reference to tMs question that Is beginning to shake the nations of the earth to their very center? Certainly it Is not in the van. We Jo not find lt In the front of the battle. Andwlien we speak thus we •peak of thennrch as surh, and not of her Individual members who may be awake to their duy. This is the'eomof the Temperance reformers. They say, " If tlie Church would bat marshal her forces, the enemy would soon be driven from the field." Yes, the church Is asleep, and well may" the trumpet call sound 111 our rare " /ion. Not only Is the church recreant in the great emergency, so tar as active real is concerned, but from her ranks are poured forth words of llic most bitter sarcasm and contempt. " That old Itarkiieyod subject again,"sny some, to compreliend tlw hnmiltating tact that is t heir-own nmtiarar** that it ever before the nubile. This is not as jt should be. ^Verv the parent alive to licr duty, the children would indulge no such talk. Iwt tlie church arise and show lior true colors, and we may safely pognnsticatr the speedy dorrn&II of the liquor traffic. Probably not unll (ben will this happyend lie attained; (hough the world itself, wiser than the children of light, Is beginning to awake to tlie enormity of the fraud practiced upon mankind, and may lie the primal actors in tlie great conflict that must take place. If so. If church Will allow herself to lie led instead of being leader, lei ber put on j sack-clotli, let licr sit in the aslics, so j ■ as this black page in her history , j sliall lie open to the view of men. Be- ' liimbtbr criminality of the qhurcb tlie j ; defenders of this prolific source of sin j | intrench themselves. Itay they, "While j | custodian of mnnllUy itml religion j j occupies its present ground. We may I safely put 'forth all our energies," and they bring to Imir their enginery . poses, nnd the church' unwittingly becomes their most powerful auxiliary. We are aware that In these remarks wc might seem to lie taking ground unfriendly lo the church. But God forthat wc should ever do tliat; nnd while wc lore her ns we do, tho eliurcb our blest Redeemer saved with bis own the church we prize beyond our joy, wc trust wc shall never do nught tliat can thus he construed.— Yea, the whole church militant, one army, with her different division Hags, shall ever be the object of our tenderest aud therefore it is with pain tliat are called u|k>u to record her weakwhere wc so much desire to see strong. But we would not fall to remAnber that while she thus tails tliori, It is from among her ranks tlie workers come: but our complaint U 'r that she does not come up en isa.re, : and present a bold, steady front to tbe enemy. A

But we must not talk in general t, ' nor criticise the church as an „ 1 aggregate body, but notice its member- ® 1 shipv individually considered; for if y each member would cons filer Ms own j, 1 responsibility in the mutter and act a ' thereupon, tlicrc wonld"be no cause for i complaint against the body corporate. And now, if each would thus discharge t ' tlie duty incumbent upon him, who ' can tell what untold good might be accomplished? In what a single act of ' moral heroism one hold stand for Tem- 9 ' pcrancc, at the right moment, might 1 result? Tliat was a sublime act performed- f , by Rev. J. W. He had liecu invited 1 t to acta* celebriint at theamleiunlsation ' , of a marriage. Wine sparkled In the ' J" goblets and flowed aa freely as water. ' . He was Invited to accept a glass. He 1 0 politely declined. Again was he in- 1 p- vited, nnd again and again urged not 1 0 to treat lightly this refined token of 1 , hospitality. At bu^ho felt that as a 1 j minister of God the time had arrived n when to longer remain stiont, would be a to commit sin. "Sold he with a solcmh nity and fervor that .smote the con- , cienccs of the gay asserahtagr, " I am j determined that no young man here h present shall arise In the Judgment „ and say the exampb) of Rev. J. W. )t sent me to the druukanl's grave."— u Ahl how many shall come np at. that >i> day of final adjustment, ' hopelessly, ,( despairingly, and say this man first led lt me to the inebriating ehaHee; that a man ruined ray soul; this man prepared roe for the drunkard's bell.— Who can bear tMs? What christian >e professor can thus meet that wo* dtre pictcd countenance? What minister ™ of the Lord .Ice us can withstand that ™ cry of despair? Is this extravagance? •; No! No! It ta from these examples to tliat thousands are m&dc drunkards; »- that thousands appear af the drunk - ord's Judjjtoent; that thousands go » down to the drunkard's endless night. ^ But nl any, oven rrinlstcra, deny that "* any Influence thus exerted" can be atir tended with such results. Others that ^ rection, bj- any particular act; and lr more still, some disclaim any rraponf sibility for the result of their sets and 90 examples. This is Uh^icat, unscriptiual and contrary lo the analogies of w every day experience. What do those ut j amazing declarations of Scripture mean Ig j —those dreed denunciations against t, (him who beoeriies s party to the temporal and eternal death of another?

"The rric® of thy brother's blood cricth unto me from the ground."

VrntriloqaisRL Tbe influence over the human mind which lift VentrUuquRt derives from the skilful practice of Ms art, ta greater than tliat wMch is exercised by any other species of conjuror. The ordimagician requires his theater, Ms art, and he enjoys but a local sovereignty within the precincts of his own magic circle. The venlriloqnist, the contrary, has the supernatural always at his command.

Imagination othia.andltora.as if tliey i had been shadowed forth ta the silence , of a spoclral form. In order to cont vey some idea of the influence of this . illusion, the following well authenti- . rated fikae of ventriloquism U snht milled:— Loals Brabant, who hod been valct1 dc-diambre to Francis I., having tall'-n t in love with* rich and beautiful hciros. . he was rejected by her parents as an _ unsuitaMc match foe their daughter. , On the death of her tather, Louis paid . a visit to the- widow, and hs had no r sooner coteeed tlie bone than she t heard tbe voice of her deeeased hus- ■> land addressing her from above, , ..«);>ratdm*hter ta marrtag. to . laiuls BraGbrt. wd^l* ajaanoftaige , endure llic Inexpressible torments of purgatory for having refused her to t Mm.
