One evening, na 1 sto&d in the p-stolTicc
in Lawrence, Massachusetts, two young
men cume from the window where jrtamps
were sold, and pnssed by meoojheir way
out. ; ,
'Tite here." said one to. his fellow j'and
glancing towards him J jjaw in his open
pujiii two new tworcent pifct-si," and my ear
CMighl what sounded thus : "I gave hin:
five cents for u stamp, urtd he oliglit to

back two."' " ,
'"'Xl rigLtJ said iiis companion, as tliey

self, "Si'ld "c'.enp 1" two cents for the
lionor honr8ty, fairness, and. manly prife
cipk'K of tw j young men."
I know that ibis style of business is by
no means uncommon, among young men

dishonesty, even iu lit tie things, cannot
lonif be clicnstvd ftirtioutbeb' found out.
" And when once a maa has been caught in
a mean, pitiful trick, he is mi.riird and

yuung men as thos.', with uncounted gold,
or with business where honesty and fidelity
are required ? Who would pay such a
man as much for his services, where integ
rity wa needful-, as they would if they had
returned the ex.ra two cents, and reciiSdd
the mistake ? Who would not feel that a
man ho could be bought, so cheap was
hardly worth purchasing?
And besides, these petty dishonesties
grow so fast and lare that of them come
swindles, robberies, f rgeries, defalcations,
embizzlements, frauds, and "pickings and
stealings" of every grade nnd kind. Hence
covetousness overleaps its miirk, it vaults
skyward, and fulls--a TSatan- fell, "lilfe
lightning," down to iufamy and 'shame. "
The man who would deceive iu trade for

Mb. Editoii : I wish to say to tii
voung man sinning himself 'Tn a Dih-nir
ma :" Tlease let me warp von and other
friends of the Home Department. Never
play lover! The 'lets intimate yoa are
with a -girl after you conclude yoa would
not marry hjjr,thc better foe both. Such
kv'us?ockitiDg for pleasure and pas'ime," willf
h one or both are or a loving. nature, lean
to on attachment not easily broken, a true
love. I misftst rt has alreudy, iu your
case. I do not believe, with some corres
pondents of the Ileme Departments, that
true, love con be conquered by the will eas
ily. But suppose after a time of such ns-
eociation, you'shonld leave the lady now
in question, and marfy another, ever so
happily; then troubles of life come, and
perhaps disagreements that mar" your hap
piness, fora few momeuts at, least; you
Would be apt to think that 'If I'd married
the oihef one.it would not have been thus."
But it is Joo laU. Imagine your feelings
then 1 Mo eovei, there is not a bit -ot hon
or about ihus playing lover, upless you
frankly tell her that you will never timrry '
her, nnd I'm not certain that it would be
honorable even then, for it might -prevent
othtr gentlemen seeking hex society, and
thus wrong- her. Remem6er, "Actions

Fourteen Great Mistakes.
It is a great mUtake to set up our own
stundaid of light aud wrong, and judge
people accordingly. It is great mistake
to measure the enjoyment of others by our
own ; to expect uowormuy 01 opiuioo iu
this world ; to look fr jjd.mmt aud ex
jjeiieiice iu youth ; to cinleavor to mould
all dispo:itfons alike; not to j-id t" im-
mattrial tr fles; 10 look for nt .-. 1 in
or on acliom ; -to worry oiirjv?'ei and
SthciS with wnut cannot bereedieJ ; i.ot
to "allevjale ull thai iitH'.Js alleviation, a
lar u. hfS 10 our power ; not to uinKe a!
lowunc(4 lor the i,.fi.miiies of othre; to
coiisiJer everything iniiioi-i'dj wmc'i we
cuonui perform; to be!i.-ve only whit our
fijiie uiinda can trisp ; to txp ci to be
ab'e to uwhrstand everything. Ti.e great-
tst of all mistukis is to live otdy fyr lime,
when any moment may launch us into
eternity. "
It. is wonderful how mere power, or
mere biightrtess, apart altogether (rom
the work the power is d ling aj the story
that the brightness ha? to tell, will win
the confidence ; and admiration of men
from whom we might have expected bet
ter things. A bright1 book or a bright
play will draw the crowd-, although its
meaning be detestable. A . etcver man
will make a hos,t of boys end men stpnd
like charmed birds' while ho draws their
principles quietly but of them- aud. leaves
them moral idiots. --v

punch-bowl has been a more prominent
figure at cnier.'ainments ttfh'year than for
somp seasons back. In dcfeieuce to Mrs.

Reading.
The mere act of reading ia not praise
worthy. To read boi k after hot k with
no ptttkd purpose is too much line gath
ering a miscellaneous assortment ot puces
of cloth and never having tBem made ir
to clothes' which can be worn. The sub
stance of the matter is to read for the sake
of finding out something and a!s: to geta
the iu'brmatioiiii the q tickest way possU
ble. Hut we do i.ot always r. ad for im
provement, and every one should know t!:e
purpose for which he read whether f r
restamusement or knowledge. A boy or
girl,' tiied by woik iu the shop or house,
takes np Hawthorne's " Wonder Book"
that is reading for rest. Fretti d by lo
marks at echool, rne becoroes absorbed in

such a character as to menace either oir .
rivd'z ition or religions progress. The
Presbyterians believe the transforming
