Mr. iicioy. ii
The wholesale merchant was a gsnt!sl
man of middle sge, who did sn extensive
buriness aad wss reputed to be rich.
He bad ens or two older clerks in his
employ, when Henry and Charles enter
ed bis sirr. These lads generally lived
on good terns witn racn other; bat occa
sionally a dispute would arise between
a . .a . m "
them, on account or ibe overbearing dis

ed at times 1i have bis own way, no mat
ter how mueh it interfered with bis ctH
paoion. Uutas Henry wa kind and yield
ing, and eeldom manifested angry or re
vengeful feelings, the I ids on the whole
lived rn pleasant terns.
The young men had been in the em
ploy of Mr. Ualer several years, wbea
the conversation al the beginning of car
story took pl.ee. They had odea eon-j
versed on the iMieiness ihe v would pur
sae in after life, and while Ilenry insiited
that small grains snd a safe business were
to be preferred,' hi companion declared
tint nothing would satisfy him but large
profits and an extensive trade. It was
seldom ihst Chai lea spent an evening at
home with bi parems, or at Ihe Imuse cf
tia master. In the summer lesson be
would walk the streets witli his compan
ions, engnjed in idle conversation, while
in winter he 'would resort to same shop,
where he pssstd his time in prr 6 lesj
amu'ements. it m l vicious pursuits., uo
the conttary, Henry improve,! ti-iute
hours in leading and study. 1 1 is even
ings wtre generally passed at home, read
ing some useful book or pper, or in
drawing or writ inn. Hi companions
were chosen from ihoae who were indus
trious, and tluoight more ol ihe improve
ment of the mind and heart, than the de
coraiion of t'ta petsun, or the gratification
of lhe appetite.
It was not unfrcqnetitly that Henry 4.1
qnired of his companion, on returning at
night, where he had passed ihe evening,
O, I luve had a fins lime," would be
his reply.
Why don'i you read more?"' once
Henty-said to him.
don'i loetu read; and bciiJes, I
gi t bul little time you know."
You hae as much lime as 1 d , and
-in the course of a few months past, 1
have real a d zn volumes, -besides va
rious periodicals."
But you read evening,-while I am

sndi think it is good mU ire, and m the
end yon will find it so. 1 would y, don'i
go into the society of the idle and Irivo

which lead toeery thing thai is bad."
" No, Harry, you know nothing abut
it. If yon eiu!d -go with us and -enter
into out sports you would be happy."
Thati whaul have no desire to do."
All the persuasion of the virtuous
youh, eouhl not produce lhe desired ef
fect. Charles rpeni his time in idleness
and folly, made a fine appeara ire in so
ciety, a rid took pride in dress and exterior
deportment.
A few years paed, and the young
men had -cnmphteJ their 'clerkship.

merchant, was purauaded to remain in his

His dress was very shabby. He bore

Henry had concluded to leave New

You will give him a terrible rebuke, like-

But he waa sn oulrsgeous slanderer,

conscience for you to aasail? Think you
he has any ventibili ies that ynu can

BiatiUs, belore you make sail in rha-e
of every pirate upon yoi:r good name,
eonider whether you can find good scrip
tural example for it. The good men of
the Bible lived, some of them, in a ery
hurricane of calumnies. There is a Paul
for example. If every slander h.d carri
ed aay the smallest piece ol his nVsh,
he would have been a perfect skeleton
before be had been preaching a twelve
month. They said every thing about
him. He has g ivn a specimen or two-
drops out f sn ocean-just to let as see
hat Apojtle had enemies People bad
tongues in those days, and the man that .
tim-d up their sud y consciences as often
a Paul did, wis not the man to ecapa
virulence. I here was n t a rile or ma

Well, how did be manage the matter?
Did ha go puffing about ihe street to find
not who alandereu nimi liid he give
chite to wicked reports, and drie ioio
palaces and ottges. highways and by- .
ways, to see w ho was tho father of them?
He could not stop for that. He had loo
much to d), "i much b tier business.
He let them reproach him that liked . th .
business. He -did not make after them
with the alcdge hammer of the law, or w i;h
a committee of friends who had ihe rare

oesi." This was economy of time, tot
a roan can bless bis slanderers most ej .
