eighth year. A more happy and contented liouseliolU was no where tu dd louna. My wife whs amiable, intelligent, and contented. We were not wealthy, but Providence hud preserved us from want; and we had learn ed that "conten'ment wiihoot wealth, is k ltr than weoltli without contentment." . it wua my custom, when returning home at nighl, to drop into one of the many shop that are constantly open in the business treeta of the metropolis and purchase to?ne trifling danties, to present to the mother and children.' I need not say how delighted the Jiille ones were at this slight expression of parental consideration. On one occasion I had purchased aome remarkable fine ap apples. - ples. apples. After the repast, half a doat n werir left untouched, and my thrifty com pinion forthwith removed them to the place of de deposit, - posit, deposit, where it washer custom to preserve the remains of our knick-iiacka. A day or two after, when I had seated myself at the table to dine, she said to me, smilingly. 'So, futlier has found the way to my safe ty-box, h.is he?" I was at a loss to understand the meaning, and desired her to explain. 'Have you not been in my drawer?" 'What drawer?" "The upper drawer in the chamber bu bureau. - reau. bureau. Did you not take therefrom the lar largest - gest largest of the pippins I had pat away for the girls?" ' "No I did not!" "Not III have not seen an apple since the evening I purchased them." A slight cloud passed over the counte countenance - nance countenance of my nii. She was troubled. The loss of the apple wsis in itself nothing; but we had carefully instructed our children not to appropriate to their use, any article whatever of family consumption, without permission; and as permission, when the de de-mnnd - mnnd de-mnnd was at all reasonable, had never been denied them, she was loth to suspect any anyone - one anyone of them of the offence. We had a servant girl in the family, but as she was supposed o know nothing of the apples, my wife lies i;ated to charge it upon her. She at length bioLe the silence by saying "We must examine the affair. I can hardly think one of the children would so act. If ae find them guilty, we must re reprove - prove reprove them. Will yon please look into it?" The girls were seperately called into my pretence; the eldest first. "K!ira, did you take from your mother's drawer, an apple?" "No sir." "It must have been taken by the servant, call- her to," 1 said addressing my wife. "Nell, how came you to take from the daawer of your mistress, without permission, the largest of the apples she had placed there; . , i. .'. . -i.vV ''' ; "Wot apples?" "Did you take no apple from tne drawer of your mistress?" "Notta." Now, it was evident that falsehood exis existed - ted existed somewhere Con Id it be that one of my children had told me a lie? The thought liai raised me. I was not able to atend to Dusiness. I went to the store but soon returned Again. ' Meanwhile ' the servant girl conimuniceted to her mistress that she liati seen our youngest go into the gitrrett with a large apple, the morninj; before. On examination, the core, and several pieces of rind was found upon the floor. I again called Mary to me, and said to her affection affectionately. - ately. affectionately. . ; . "Maiy, my daughter, did you go into the garret yesterday?" "Yes sir." "Did you go there with an apple?" "Did you notice anything on the floor?" "No sir!" , I wns unwilling to believe my sweet child capable of telling me a falsehood; but ap pearances were against her. I he fault lay between her and the servant, and while I was desirous to acquit my child, I did not wish to'nccuse uujusily the negro. ,. I there therefore - fore therefore took Mary into a room alone, I spoke to her of the enormity of lying of the ne necessity - cessity necessity of telling the truth of the severe punishment I should be compelled to inflict Upon her, if she did not confess the whole to me, and with tears in my eyes urged her to say that she had done it, if indeed she had. Gradually, I became convinced of hei guilt; and now I felt determined she should confess it. My threatnings were not with without - out without effect. After weeping and protest! n her innocence, and weeping and protesting a a-gain, - gain, a-gain, my threatnings seemed to alarm her, and falling upon her knees he sail "Fath "Father, - er, "Father, I did take the apple." , Never shall I forget that moment My child confessed that she was a liar, in my presence! - , , Suppressing my emotion, ! retired; and Mary rising from her position ran to her mother, aud in a proxoysm of grief cried out: : . !. -. ,. i ;:i . . r .
