[cOWCLtTDEO.] '* There was something about the io movements of Mr. Carman for the rhit * of that day that' troubled the young man. It was plain to him that auspim cion had been anmertl by thgt letter. " O, how bilMriy-dow did be repent, in ' the dread of diggpTCry and punishment, -• the evil of wWkh be had been guilty! a S&m* dxrhesd of hif widowedTnother even to the grave. "Yon arc not Well this evening,": said Mrs. Lewis, as she looked at her son's changed lace across the table, and noticed that be did not eat. ' "My headaches.'' " Perhaps the tea will make you feel 1 better." J " IH lie down on the soR in the par-' „ lor for a short Uinc." Mrs. Lewis followed him into the ! parlor in a little while, and sitting down on the sob on which he was iy- . ing, placed her hand upon his head. Ah, it would take more tlipn the loving pressure of a mother's hand to ease the pain from which he was suffering. The touch of ftiat pure hand increased the pain to afony. ' ! "Do )wii ftel better? " asked Mrs. Lewis. She had remained some time 1 1 with her hand on his forehead. 1 1 "Not much," he replied, and rising ! as he spoke, ho added, "I think a ! walk in the open air will do me good. ' "Don't go out, Jamea," said Mrs. Lewis, a troubled feeling coming into i her her heart. i "I'll only walk a few squares." And Jamea went from the parlor and passed into the street. "There is something niory than i headBchelhematterwitbbim." thought Mrs. Lewis. i For half an hour James walked without any purpose in his mind beyond the escape from the presence of his I mother. Atbut his walk bninght him ; Mr. Carman's store, and at pass- i he was surprised at seeing a light | within. "What can this mean?" he Asked ] himself, a new fear creeping, with its | shuddering impulse, into his heart. He listened by the doors and win- ] dowa, but he 'could hear no sound . within. . , " There's something wrong, "he said; , " what can it he? If this is discovered , what will he the end of It? Ituin! ( ruin! My poqr mother ! " The wretched young man hastened , walked the street for two hours, i when he returned home. His mother r met him when he entered, and with a r concealed anxkty,'a>ked biuiif he were 1 nc raid yea, bat in a manner f that only increased llic trouble aho felt, t and passed up hastily to bis room.' c In the morning the strangely altered ' of Jsmos, an he met his mother at I the breakfast table, struck alarm into i her heart, lie was silent, and evaded I all Iter questions. While they sat at c the table the door 1*11 rung loudly. This sound startled James, and he " turned his bead to listen in a nervous I .. ! "Who is it? "asked Mrs. Lewis. ' "A gentleman who wishes to ace ' i Mr. James," replied the giri. ' James rase iustantly and went out i into the hall, shutting the dining-room door as he did so. Mrs. Lewis sat I watching her son's return. She heard I him coming hack in a few moments; I but he did m^entcr the dini&g-room. < Thai be returned along the hall to the street door, and b)k heard Jt shut A II a WX "Bent. Starting op she ran Into t 1 the passage, but James was not there, c He had gone away with the person who I called. | i "The young villain shall lie in the 1 bed be has made for himself! " ex- 1 claimed Mr. Carman, in his bitter in- J dignation. And he made the exposure » completely. On the trial he showed c , eager desire to'havhhira convicted, i and presented such an array of evi- t deuce, that the jury could not give any ' other verdist tluin guilty. J ' And that was a sad going away I Mr. Carman had spent half the night . In examining the accounts of James, ' and discovered frauds of over six thou- C sand dollars. Blindly indignant, tie J rant an officer to arrest him early in the morning; and it was with this olfieor that he went away from, his mother £ The poor mother was In court, and ' audible in the silence that followed, her convulsive nobs upon the air. . The presiding Judge addressed the culprit and asked if he had anything to say why the aentence of the law should J , not be pronounced against him. AU were turned upon the pale, sgita- j led young man, who rose with an effort, and leaned against the railing for sup- £ "Wm it please your_ Aors,'' he * ; said, "to direct my proeeantor to come a little nearer, so that I con look at him and your tippers at the same 1 time." Mr. Carman was directed to come . 1 forward to where the boy stood. James ' ! looked at him steodllyfor a few mn- ' mcnts and turned to the judges. " What I hare to asy to yoar honors , ! this',"— he sjioke. ralmiy and distinct- | 1 "and it may in a degree extenuate, | though I cannot excuse my crime. I ] went into that man's store an hwioeent . ; and if be had been un hounit la^n , 1 I would not have stood before you to- , ' day at a criminal I •' Mr. Carman Appealed to the court , i for protection against an atfegathm or , : such an outrageous character; but he , ; , ,

In fkvor of Mr. Cannon. I asked him If I should correct these figures, and he - answered; 'No; let them correct their' I. own mistakes. We doutexamine bills for 'other people's benefit.' It was my first lesson In disbonxty. I saw the bili settled, and Mr. Carman take twene ty dollars thatSrere not his own. . I it felt shocked at flrsi; it seemed such a g wrong thing. But soon after he called 1- me a simpleton for handing hack a fifty k dollar, bill to the tetler of a bank which a he had overpaid me on a check, and , then"— ! "May I ask the protection of the , court?" asked Mr. cirman. -1 " Is it true what tho lad rays?" asked Uic judge. ' Mr. Carman hesitated and looked r confused, AU eyes were on his' tree; I and judges and jury, lawyers and spec- | to tors, felt certain that he was guilty I I astray. "" "9*™ y0UDg i "Not long afterwards," resumed Lewis, "In receiving my wagto, I ; found that Mr. Carman had juM me • j fifty cents too much. I was about to ; i give it bockJlo him, when I remcm- - berad his remarks about letting people . i correct their own mistakes, and said . j to myself, ' Let him correct his own ; errors, 'and dishonestly kept the money. . A gait; the tiling happened, and again I I kept tho money that did not of Tight ! belong to me. This was tlie begin- . ' ning offvil, and here I am. If lie liad ■ shown any mercy I might have kepi [ silent, and made no defense. » ;! The young man covered his fiieo with i hands, and sat down, overpowered ' with his feelings. His mother, who was near him, sobbed aloud, and bend-' i over, laid her hand on his head, saying: I " My poor boy I my poor boy ! There were few eyes in the courtroom undimmcd. In the silence thai i followed, Mr. Carman spoke out ; " Is my character to he thus blasted on the word of a criminal, your honors? Is this rightf" " Yoer solemn oath tliat this charge i untrue," said the Judge, " win place you in the right. It was the unhappy • boy's only opportunity, and the court . felt hound in humanity to hear hiin." James Lewis stood np again instantand turned his white face and dark piercing eyes upon Mr. Carman. " Let him take his rath, if he dare!" he exclaimed. Mr. Carman consulted with his counsel anil withdrew. After a brief conference with his associates, the presiding judge said, adthe criminal : "In consideration of your youth, ; and the temptation to which in tender ; years yon rrtifi Unhappily subject, the court give* you tho slightest punish- : mcnt- -one years imprisonment.

Hints on Etiquette. x- To act naturally it the first iaw of , w ' etiquette. The next Is to make others I fed at case tn your presencu. ' Pollteil- ness eannot wclfebo acquired after ma- ' is ''turity. 1 1 consists in a desire to pkztse. — and although many have had the rough , si edges knocked off bv outset with re- t 1- fined society and a studied rehearsal r- every- day, the great majority of those ' who attempt an outward show of good it breeding succeed only in making them- , it selves ridiculous. . Politeness springs t ig from the heart, and like good acting' on e. the staff-, must be felt to make itself. J g Tlie re ore, however, a few tilth things k that can be practiced without study, K and their observance will add very i a! much to your deportment, l- You should avoid the use of words 1 n or tho discussion of subjects at all re- ' re mote, in the presence of those who may 1 ic I* your inferior* in education or iufrl- , *1 loot. o Be careful nul to use the ptrptndica- J ic tar iiersnnal " t '* too much, it hctravs 0 the mfeapplhation or wrong pronuny Qiatlon of a word. _ language, a hollow viisel makes llie ic greatest noise. , p It Is very Impolite to show a dispoc particulariy when then- are older and ' 1 more experienced |s-reons present.
