Come boys, [ have something to tell you Come near, I would whisper it low— You are thinking of leaving the homestead, Don't be in a hurry to yo! The city has many attractions, But think of the yices and sins; When once in the vortex of fashion, How s00n the course downward bogins. You tall of the mines of Australia— Thoy're wealthy in gold without donbt, But ah! there is gold on the farm, boys, If only yon'll shovel it out. The mercantile trade is a huszard, ‘The goods are first high and then low, Better risk the old farm a while longer, Don't be in a hurry te go. The great, busy Weat has inducements, And so has the busiest mart, But wealth is not made in a day, boys, Don't be in a burry to start! The bankers and brokers are wealthy, They take in their thousand or so-- Ah! think of the frauds and deceptions; Don't be in a hurry to go! The farm is the safest and surest, The orchards ave loaded to-day, You're us free as the air of the mountains, And monarchs of all you survey. Better stay on the farm a while longer, Though profits come in rather slow ; Remember, you've nothing to risk. boys ; Don't bein a hurry to go! “Select Viterature, “COALS OF FIRE;? oR, EVERETT MORSE'S RETALIATION, BY FRANCIS HENSHAW BADEN, Teach me to feel another's woe, To hide the fault [ see; That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me.

Let me try to prove to you I am not so guilty as you think.” «I know, of course not; no gentleman intends to be dishonest, but it is to be re- gretted that public opinion will not see it in that light,” replied the junior partner of an extensive mercantile firm in the city of notions. “Too true; if you, knowing me for the last ten years, will not believe me, how ean 1 expect ought else from strangers. Here I have been, uncer your eye, with the charge of the books for this long time, and never have failed to give, entire satistaction to all, until now. It you had not discov- ered this, L should have been able to re- place the amount before the end of the year, I know now that I did wrong; but in the frenzy of my despair [ did not think it wrong. Mr, Marbury have mercy! do not expose me to the firm! Only keep this knowledge you have gained until Jan- uary, then, if d have not returned the amount, with interest, 1 will not ask for further forbearanee,” pleaded the young man, ** Everett Morse, it matters little what I believe, I care not whether you are in- nocent or guilty. Fate has thrown you in my power, and I glory in it. I have no love for you. Yeurs ago you crossed my path, and have almost, if not entirely, blasted my hopes of happiness. Clar. Dayton smiled on me, until she met you. Since then you have oceupied the position I had hoped to gain, Promise so leave town, to resign all hopes ol Clara’s hand, and I will have mercy. Ilear me out: 1 will give you as much time as you wish, to return the money, and will also make an arrangement to send you to Europe, on business for the firm, I had intended go- ing myself, but this afair hus changed iy plains somewhat. Now, » you have my avswer, You must either conclude to give up your ‘lady-love,’ or stand belore the world a felou.” *Merey! Mr. Marbury, is this mercy! Oh, Leaven pity me! How ean I give her up! You do not mean it!” : « When Clara Dayton hears the man tvho has sought her love stands betore the world biunded with dishonesty, she will most likely release you fiom this task. It will be asevere blow to her proud nature.” «Sho will never believe it. Iwill goto her, and tell herall, Myr, Marbury, let me tell you how I was so sorely tempted, and yielded. You have heard that when my futher died, he leit his affairs very much embarrassed. ‘The old homestead was mortgaged. This has been a great grief to my mother, She thought of losing this home, most valuable for the loved as- sociations connected with it. You know too, that my brother and I have been try- ing to redeem this property. The last note was due, I could not meet the paym nt, this has been a trying year tome. My mother’s illness has very much increased my expenses; then, worse still, my broth- ers misiortune in breaking his right arm, has of course prevented him from attend: ing to his engraving. So the whole bur- den has been on me, I felt sure that as soon as Abbott could return to his work, I should be able to return the loan, as I con- sidered it, Fatal mistake! I now see that any swerving from the right path is certain to bring its punishment, But will you not, for the sake of my poor widowed mother, spare ine? It will kill her to hear I am even suspected of dishonesty, she is so feeble nuw. Dopot demand this terrible sacrifice of me, Be just! be generous! be merciful!” "Tis useless sir, I have told you on what terms I can treat with you. I love Clara more than my own life, and cannot relinquish the chance of wianing her. It will be impossible for you to remove the suspicion that will follow you. The fact of your employer's want of confidence in you will bo sufficient to condemn you. Ac- cept my terms. Go to Europe without seving Clara again, Take your own time to 1etarn the money, and at the end of one year, if Ihave failed to win her, you arc Irce to seck her anew, and I will give you my word never to mention this atfair again.” "1 see too plainly I have no other echauce, If Clara loves me, as I have hoped, she will remain constant, rerard- less of appearances, for thattime.- Thank Heaven, I have not sought to bind her by an engagement. Every chance is against me, though. What will she think of my leaving without telling her good-bye, even?” “* Just what I wish her to—that you do not love her any too devotedly, I wiil take your regrets to her, of * pressure of business, and time,’ and such little exeuses. Of course she will be inortified, and dis- appointed, and in this state of her feclings Lhope to triumph. Once mine, [ do not doubt being able to make her love me.

If mot oa carth, yeu surely will above. * * * * * * * ‘Clara, my daughter, why will you treat Mr. Marbury with so much indiffer- ence?

I feel perfectly sure he loved me. plainly. Every moment that was not de- voted to business, or his mother, he spent with us. We were notengaged, but there was an understanding between us. Only the night I last saw him, he said to me. ‘when I come again I shall bring a ring to place on the finger of a certain lady fair, will make me one of the happiest men on earth.’ Six months have passed since then, and not a word from him. That he is living, and well, I know, for Mr. Mar- bury told me they hada letter from him by the last steamer. What can he mean, mother?” «There is no doubt of one thing; he has trifled with you, and therefore he is not worthy of one thought or regret.

It was now her duty, she knew, to fulfil the vows she had made—to love and honor the man she had consented to call her hus- band. Yo this end she bent all hor energies. By nature piously inclined, she sought and obtained guidance and assistance from the Throne of Grace, Time passed on; children gathered arcund her; little arms fondly caressing, rosy lips ever lisping words of love, filled the mother’s heart to overflowing.

Theiy eld child, a handsome, bright, intelligent youth of ninetee rs, proved no Jonger a source of comfort and happi+ ness, Reared inthe lap of luxury, cradled in idleness, subject to little, it ny restraint, he iollowed the bent of his inclinations, and found pleasure among the youths of the wildest and most reckless habits. Constantly were his parents’ hearts wrung with the fear of coming eyil. At last it came, striking a terrible blow, particulirly to the proud-hearted father. With all his boy's faults he had never feared dishonesty, That was impossible for his son, But so itwas. Fate had decided that the brand of forgery should rest upon the hitherto spotless name of Marbury. | For nearly a year this youth had occupied a position in a large importing house, and had won_ the conlidence ot his employers. Intrusted frequently to dr.w from the bank various sums of money, he oecama very amiliar with the signature of the principal of the firm, The dr Iful infatuation of the gaming- red hima trom the paths of honor Constant losses had made him reckless, and from time to time he drew on the bank for small sums, hoping cach night that uck would smile on him, and he should de able to return the money.
