which was managed with so, much care

timent that he was not lost in vice 5 and
prompted, by his sacred office, and a de
sire to deter the young man from his
" purpose, ; he began to reason " with
him, and pointed out to him in strong
nervous language, the great crime he
was about to commit the cruelty of
depriving a minister of a whole, years
subsistence for himself and family,, and
the awful end that awaited all who pur
sued so dangerous a course. v Often he
recalleilito his" mind the convictions of
his conscience, and the admonitions he
had received in public as well as in pri

' The end of these things is death." ,

. At length iis conscience yielded, and,
in the most peremptory manner he a-,

At'Jength Mai tland lieard of a vessel
bound to India, and hastejied on board.
AVhi 1 e t here h e frequ ently reflected on
the sin lie had committed, & would glad-
lyhavei restored the mon
ey he had so
unfeelingly taken, bii t this
became eve-
ry. ,day more impractica
ble, and he
now turned his attention
to' the.mi-
histers advice, to hemployfdt lnnest-
ly and industriously. -Ilejaviiiled him
self of the InUmerous ad vahtages yhich
conVmerceopens to the satlor, and by
grea t assi d u i t y and: cautioii. aided by
the blessing of Provileqce which he ear
nestly sought, as wejl as the pardon of
his siifs, he succeeded beyond his most
sanguine expectation. His desire and
determination to refund .-the property
he had stolen never forsook him, and he
embraced the first oppojt unity 'of mak
ing restitution in person. , More than
twelve years however, rolled away,
wi thou t prod u ci ng any faci I i ry of visi t
ibg Mr. Moncrief. At last he' obtain
ed affreight to. Bordeaux;, and thence to
Lei th, and having learned that Mr. Mon
crief was still living1 with his wife and
family at' their old residence, he for
warded two pipes of excellent wine to
him, but without mentioning from whom
they came. When they arrived at the
good minister's door, he was thrown in-
to the greatest perplexity, .ouservm
that for himse) f he had 110 cellar 1;
which he could place it, nor did he pos
sess a friend that was i likely to send
him so valuable a present. ; j Tlie whole
therefore was a mistake, and the wine
obviously intended for some other per
son. 1; He: conseniedi however, to al
low them for the present tone placed in
his stable. r L ;
After making every inquiry to dis
cover the real owner of the. wine, and
obtaining no information whatever, Mr.
3!oncnef: concluded that time would
develop the mystery. ; ' v' ,
After a few days, a respectable look
ing gentleman alighted from his carriage
and. requested to see the minister. Be
ing introduced, he told him he had been
brought up in the country, and had con
stantly recollected him with esteem and
veneration.. He had taken the liberty
of bringing a few trifles for the?accpt
ance of Mrs. Moncrief.L 1 The presents
consisted 01 some cnoice 1 ru us, su ks,
&c. of no small value.
The
stranger
was invited to a very plain
dinner, of
which the family was about
and at the conclusion of the
kb partake,
repast, po-
iiteiy requesteu a glass 01 wipe.
Moncrief apologised at nut haying any,
his income not allowing him ;to drink it.
It is true,' said he 6 tliat' there are twp
pipes of wine in my stable, jdirected to
me, but I lo notknow to whom they
belong.' The guest replied that he
knew who sent them,! and that Mr.
M oncrief va to consider the wine as
his own property. Some wine was im
mediately produced, and after the par
ty had drank health, and happiness to
thir hfnpvolent friend,! Mrs. Moncrief
and her children retired, leaving the
liusba'nd and the stranger to themselves.
The -surprise;and astonishment of the
family can scarcely be; iinajgined, and
yet they could form no idea of the name
or character of their guest.
Scarcely had the two geiitjtemeg been
lett alone, when the s
visihlv thiiiiiflitful.fantl
ranger
became
labored
appa-
rently under great mental pert urbatioti.
As he sat, the crystal tearf tlowed in
rapid succession, and his heart seemed
ready to burst; Mr.- M oncrief became
greatly alarmed, and was on tle point
of ringing the bell for assistance, when
the stranger, Jookihg wistfully at hun,
uttered n broken accents, fct Excuse
me, dear and reverend j Sirp be not a
lanned, niy tears speak at once my
pungent sorrow for ' the past and my
gratitude, for the present moment." In
a n i t is tan t he'd re wl out his !pu f se, con
taining a sum bf)mbnef and with his
pencil proceeded ioj ihake: calculations,
then placed 'on theft able r VfecbiiU sum.
Now,lear Sir,? aul he with an in

mility, behold your property restor-
jed, and tlie interest d u ei thereon.

MoncHef looked withastonisTunenf,
first at Maitland aiid then at t 'e tno
heyv xTime and asea -faring ;i had
left 'no 'traces of his former, app jarance
"yet; fr?m the ; Moment (that tle first

The feelings of the parties may be
better co ricei ved than" d esc ribed.1 The
pious minister beheld his prayers an
swered. He that stole, wrought with
his hands,' and restored' what lie 'had
unjustly taken u away. ; God prospered
him in his endeavors to make restitu
