RALPH 80MERS, OR THE PRO
GRESS OF ERROR.
In a small village on the banks of the
Hudson river, lived a family in moderate
cirtiumatances. The patents were pious
and endealored to bring up their children in
the Bear of the Lord. They were made to
say thElf' prayers antl read the Bible at home,
and to attend the Sabbath school and service
on Sunday. With all these painr, it was a
source of sorrow to Mrs. Somers, to see her
eldest son Ralph guilty of many improper
tricks, whieh he learned from other hoys.
At firnt he did not commit any gioss crimes;
but we shall see how soon the way ol er
ror is learned. - When he was about mne
years old he commenced his wicked habits,
and went on so r-ipidly that he w;ta at four
teen despised and shunned.
The first falsehood his mother clelect-d
him in was about a trifle. There were some
peaches put up in hia mother's cupboard.
She desired that no one should touch them.
as she intended to send the best to a sick
neighbor. There were a plenty on the
trees, and Ralph could have got ..s many as
he wanted by asking his father's permission,
but he preferred taking those which were
forbidden. Accordingly, as soon as his mo
ther left the house for a short walk in the
afternoon, Ralph set about his wicked pur
pose, and filled his pockets widi those he
wanted, and then went off to play with the
boys on the green. He produced the peach
es, and sold then! to his companions for
three cent apiece, for they were very large
and tine. Where did you get such delight
ful fruit!" asked Howard Gardner "asNhe
looked at his.
"My mother gave them to me for learn
ing a hymnv" answered Hal ph unhesitatingly-
"She must be very liberal," remarked
Howard, "and be fond of you too, to load
you thus."
"Oh! . she gives me just what I wish
out of her garden," said Ralph; "and any
time you want flo wer, or apples, or grapes,
only tell me, and lean always supply you."
"That is very kind," said Howard; I wieh
Sly sister is very fond of flowers, and I
should be glad to send her some to-morrow
at her school she dcs not see tlicin often."
I will," answered Ralph; "do you come
to the corner of Green wick-atreet and 1 shall
meet you there."
On his return home he found rjs mother
very angry about lite peaches, :VjKiion
ing the children and servant. .Ralph, when,
asked if he hud meddled with them, replied
stoutly, "A'o, rlhathe had been pui pLaying
brfort hifjiother left feer house." ,
In the Course of the evening Howard
Gardner's aunt came in to pay Mrs. Somers
call. The conversation turned on fruit,
and Miss Gardner remarked the had seen
one of the finest peaches . that afternoon (hat
ever crossed her sight. . "Howard said it
was from your trees, too, Mrs. Somers. r
tluiik you roust enjoy treat in sucll fruit."
"From my trees, did you ay, M Gatd
ncr!" asked M Semenr; 4uhat is very
slange; I had all the largest jJttlled to day,
and put aside to send to your sister, know,
ing she was sick and fancied them. Did
Howard tell you whc' he got it!"
- "Yes, he said Ralph Irougla a number of ,
them to the school uy-ground and iota
them to his companions, saying bis mother
had given them to him. Now Howard heard
his mother wishing for fine fruit, and he im
taetliately ran home to give it to her. . Yna
know what a sweet boy he is; he never think
of hiimelf, but jl ways endeavors to oblige
others." i -v:;1 ,.t - "....!

Gardner. As soon as she left the house,
Mrs. Somers called ILilph to her, and retir
ing to her chamber, closed the door. Ralph
was somewhat alarmed, but determined l
wear a stiffair and deny all charge.
"What did youj do with the money 'vou
got for the peaches you sold?" asked rhe in
a calm but displeased tone.
. "Money, mother !" stammered TIoJcIk i 1
IttTe astonished at her .knowledge of his
Imcanness; "I do not know what money you
are tallying about. 1 had no peaches to

Hush, Ralph, and do not add fulsehood

this, and this! said she, throwing cent af
ter cent out of his pocket; "and what is this
stain of fiuit he-re?" (pointing to (lie mat-lied
peaches on the lining )
I won those cents at marbles, mother ;
and this is the stain from a peach Howard
Gaidner gave me and''
"Stop instantly, Ralph, I know ll.e whole
story, and only questioned to see if my son
could be so entirely lost to himself and to
me, as to be guilty of stealing anil deceit
ing. Hare you forgotten the eighth com
mandment?" "No, ma'am 'Thou sbalt not, steal, "
said Ralph, stubbornly.
"And do you reflect that you hare wilful-!
ly broken it? You have broken more than one
of God's holy laws. You fint oe a
thing so mean and despicable that I thought
you would have scorned to commit it. Had
you askcdrfor the peaches, you should hare
had your share, and. therefore your crime is
greater. You were forbidden to touch them,
and by doing so, you broke also the filth
commandment. Repeat it,
" 'Thou shall honor thy father and mo
ther, that thy days may be long in the
land.' "
"I fear, Ralph, a long life will be but a
curse instead of a blessing, if you go on as
you are now doing. You have also viola
ted the ninth commandment. What is thai?"
" Thou shalt not bear false witness,' "
said Ralph.
"Did you not say Howard had given you
peaches, which he never did?" You have
also broken the tenth. Let me hear that?"
7 " 'Thou shalt not covet' "
' "And yon have coveted what did not be
long 10 youjnd after coveting, yon disobey
ed me; anil after disobeying, you stole; And
after stealing, you told a falsehood. Oh,
Ralph! see how fast a little boy can go on in
sin; one ste p al way i lead to another; Yon
not only deceived me, but also Howard, and
yOur companions, whom you led to believe
whaLtva untrue; and all this in a little boy
not ten years old, antl a Sabbath scholar.
Oh, Ralph! you will break your parents'
hearts if you do so again, I do not intend
to whip you. No; you have offended against
God mote than against us, and you must not
expect my approbation till you' assure me
that you have asked his pardon, and been
humbled for your great wickedness. Bring
rrrre that Bible, and turn over to the filth chap
ter 01 the Acts. J here, read that.
Ralph read, and seemed mush alarmed
at the awful fate of Ananias and Sapphira.
He was then made to read the 81st and 22d
chapters of Revelation, 8 and 15 verses, "All
liars shall have their part in the lake thit
burneth with fire and brimstone;" "For
without are whosoever loveih and roakeih a
le."
Mrs. Somen was glad to see him appa
renUy penitent; but it was many days before
she restored him to favor, and otdy after his
promismg to do so no more.
The flowers were not gathered for How
ard, as he felt too much frightened to attempt
any thing outrageous again; but he soon for
got his mother a solemn conversation and
her displeasure, and at last wenton in his
dishonesty. He robbed Mrs. Scltlon a gar
den for the rose he promised, and pretend

His Parents were both exceedingly angry

he should he forever lost. They used many
means to reform him, but alss! found every

There was nothing Ralph ftnoied, eithor
