THE TRUANT.
I am very sure that if boys and girls
would thinks oftener ol (heir pirn at*, end
nf their own conduct as .rendering them
happy or unhappy, they would in many
cases, act differently from what they do.
I am sure this would have been the case
with Henry Williams, who, though not
a vicious, evil disposed boy, was always
getting into some kind of trouble or oili
er, and as often bring grief to bis parents,
who loved him, and were ever anxious to
secure his good. Henry’s great defect
was a thoughtlessness. He wns ever rea
dy to act from tlie impulseof the moment,
and rarely disposed to to lotfk ahead and
think of consequences. A boy like this ,
must necessarily be ever falling into
OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
wrongs actions—be ever subject to blame
and punishment. And the parents of
such ;t boy must ever be in trouble about
bim.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams, were, there
fore, always in trouble about Henry.—
At m boll, he was frequently in disgrace,
the consequences of inattention to his stu
dies or disregard of wholesome titles; at
home, he created disturbance among tlie
children ; and lie was frexuemly com
plained of by neighbors. Neither advice,
persuasion, remonstrance, or punishment
seemed to do any good, his painful to
write litis of any boy, especially of one
who had received so much good instruc
tion, and on w hum so much affectionate
and intelligent care had been bestowed.
I hHail 11 IM|> ‘ s trul h, and we cannot now
hide iff from tlie light.
Think, njr young reader, whether you
are sue!) a boy, air inclined to be such a
boy as Ileury Williams. If you make,
now, a change lor tlie better
make it, and abide by it ; for, in so
doing, will save yourself ami your pa
rents much pain of mind.
But I must not keep you from the sto.,
ry 1 atji about telling, nor tire jott with
my warning counsel. ,
One day, Henry came home front
school, looking more sober than usual.
Tlie fact w as, lie had been guilty of twit
duct that induced the teacher to write,a
note to his lather, which note lie had in
Lis pocket. YVhai tlie contents of tlie
note were, lie did not know ; but he did
know, that tlie simplest statement of what
be had done would grieve Ills father and
mother exceedingly, and, in ail probabil
ty procure bint a just punishment.
On leaving school at the close of the
afternoon session, after having been de
layed until his teacher could prepare the
note to his fa titer, Henry started for borne.
On I iis way, lie met a classmate, who said
to liiui, iu allusion to his having been de
tained—
‘ What did Mr. Jones do to you ?’
1 Nothing replied Henry, in a sober
voice.
‘ What did he say to yon ?’
‘ Nothing.’
‘ Then why did lie keep yon in ?’
* To give rile a note for father.’
‘ O ho ! That was it. And you’ve got
the'note in your pocket?’
* / have.’
‘ Why don’t you tear it up ?’
Now, the thought of not delivering the
note had never, till this moment, entered
the tuiiid of Henry ; and, probably would
not have entered it but lor tlie suggestion
of bis companion.
Thus it is, w hen w e step aside into
wrong ways, that the tempter comes
quickly to our ear.
Henry, however, shook Lis head and
answered promptly—
‘No—l can’t do that,’
‘ I’d do it in a minutes,’ said the lad.
Mr. Jones will forget all about it by to
morrow- morning, and your latlier won’t
be any tlie wiser lor Lis having written
him about you.’
Henry argued the matter, even against
iiis inclinations, on the side, while Ins in
clinations, on tlie one side, while his com
panion argued it on the other, — and so
the hoys talked on until Henry William?,
readied Ins own door, when he entered
the house, with the teacher’s note still in
possession.
Poor Henry ! He felt badly enough.
‘ I wish / hadn’t done it!’ How often
were these words formed, spontaneously,
in Lis thoughts. He laid imaginged tiiat
rare spurt vvii* to be found in annoying
the teacher by a flagrant violation of (lie
rules. A|us! bow sadly was lie disap
pointed,
To meet ihe grief of bis mother and
the displeasure of his father, was a trial
greater than the lad fell brave enough to
einiiiie. And so, tlie evening was per
mitted to pass by with tlie teacher's note
yet iu his pocket. He did not mean to
destroy it ; hut, lie thought lie would be
better able to deliver it in the morning.
Henry’s changed and more subdued
manner was noticed by liis parents, who,
not dreaming ilia! any tiling was wrong,
fell gratified when I Ley saw him go vol
untarily to liis lessons and study iliem dil
igently ; and, when the proper hour for
retir.ng arrived, take a light ami go up
quietly to liis chamber.
The boy did not go immediately to
liis bed; but sal down und remained for
some minutes, in a musing altitude and
with a sober cviunleaiice. He was troub
led. Presently lie drew the teacher’?
note frooi hi? pock< I, looked at the di
rection, and turned it over in hi? hand.,,
Tite image of his lather was before liintj |
and he saw, on his luce, the grief an
displeasure which the reading of that not
must inevitably occasion.
“ I can’t give it to bim,” said Henry,
w hile a low shudder of painful reluctance
passed through his frame.
But to destroy the note would not be
right. This tlie lad fell, and it made
‘lie conflict going on in his mind the
more severe. At length, however, lam
sorry to say, Henry deliberately held the
sealed note in the caudle and let it born
until hull'consumed. Then, ns self-res
proaches for what lie was doing grew
stronger, lie suddenly removed it, and,
with a breath exliiiguslied the bluie.
Unfolding, now, the disfigured remains
ol the letter, these worth, uutffected, met
his eyes;
11 Be kind enough to drop me a line by
Henry iu the morning. I wish to know
whether you approve ul’ what l suggest.”
All ! here was anew pease in the
trouble the lad bad brought upon himself.
The teacher had desired liis father to re
ply to the note —and tlie note was dc?
stroyed. How could he appear at school
on the next day ? Thus it is. that one
wrong step leads us into a path where
temptation lurks on every hand, and
where some new trouble awaits each ad
vancing footfall.
For a long time, after Henry reijticjl—
to bed, lie lay awake thinking over tlie
dilemma in which-h*;, was placed* But
he saw no wav gl escape. A good spir
it suggested the cunfessien of every thing
to liis father, a! soou as he met him in tlie
morning ; hit, an evil spiiits whispered
many objections—and so that the better
way of getting over the difficulty in which
ite bad placed liimself was set aside.—
Morning found him exceedingly'unhappy
though his mind was somewhat Heater.
Had he then gone to his father, and made
a lull confession of what he had done at
school; and how lie Lad been (empied to
act afterwards, with promises of amend
ment for the future, all would have been
well. This, liis better judgment told hint
it was w isest and best to do; but, evil
counsellers bad been admitted into liis
heart, and they so blinded him with false
reasonings and whispered (ears, that lie
let liis father leave the Louse for Ins store,
si Tier lie hud eaten his breakfast, without
the acknowledgment and plea for forgiv
ne?s that almost trembled on his lips.
At the usual hour, Henry started for
school. But, how i mild lie meet hi?
teacher without the desired comuninita
tioil from liis father? To do so would
only be to expose (lie fact that lie had not
delivered tlie note. So lie loitered along
irresolute ; and lingered by the way un
til after the school hour. See how nue
wrong aci lends naturally to another.—
There is no true safety but in tver doing
right. If we step aside, in ever so small
a tiling, there is no telling how Car es-
tray ve may get.
Well ; the school hour had paused, and
Henry w as still a loiterer iu tlie street and
in heart-a trimnl!
‘ A Truant!’ H<>w the very thought
of being a truant would have called, but
the day be lore, n blu?h to liis cheek. A
truant ! To him there had always been
something so mean and despicable ill the
idea. From his heart lie had always des
pised a truant. And yet, here lie was,
now, acting out tlie very character lie had
so despised.
Slowly, ami with a heavy pressure on
liis heart, Henry Williams moved along
from block to block, and from street to
street. He had no pin pose in liis mind.
There was no pleasure in the liberty to go
where iie willed that lie now possessed.
Tlie w Itolesoiue restraint of the school
room, had tie been tin-re, would have
been delightful compared to his present
site.
So lie kept wandering on, aimless,
from street to streel, untill lie arrived fit
the wharf; when lie stepped on board of
a siramboai, and going in the upper deck,
sat down there, and vvas soon lost in liis
ow n gloomy thoughts. Suddenly he be
came aware that the boat was iu motion.
Ht started up and rati down stairs. Ban,
lie was too late. Tlie gangway plank
had been drawn in, and ihe hunt, which
was going. tip tlie liver, was already sev
eal feet from the dock.
At dinner time, Mr. and Mrs. William? j
were surprised anil troubled by die fan
tlinl Ileury was a!i?eiil. Sucli a tiling
had never occurred before. So much
concerned were tliey about it, that neitli-
j TERMS: $2 in Advanre.
.cr felt any appetite for food. On rising
| from the table, after eating a few nioutit
liills, Mr. Williams went to die house of
Mr. Jones, the teacher, to inquire about
hi? son. To liis great grief, lie learned
that Henry had not been to school since
ihe day before; and, with still grealer
grief, heard the story of liis bad conduct,
and the fuel that tlie teacher bad written
1 1 itn a note, which note had failed to come
into liis possession.
J am sure, if Henry could have seen
into his lather’s heart at that moment,
and could have comprehended how great
were liis sufTriiigs, he would Lave been
overwhelmed with grief. All this suffers
itig lie had occasioned to a parent who
tenderly loved him, and who was doing
all in his power for liis good.
No more business was done by Mr.
Williams on -that day. He could not
think of business; but went about, front
placejto place, searching for and trying to
gain some informaXion of hi* absent, w ay
i ward, (lisobeiliem’son. Passing, towards
the middle of the afternoon, one of the
newspaper offices lie noticed a crowd ar
ound the bulletin board, and on reading
• lie news posted thereon, was pained to
learn that an accident bad happened, a
lew hours before, to one of tlie river
bonis, by which many lives were lost.
Towards evening, Mr, Williams went
home, Imping to jfoid bis sqrj there.—
But, in this he was disappointed. He
was just r,Hilling the teriible acrideul
w hich bad that day occurred on the river,
v.hena letter was handed in. On break
ing the seal, lie found that it was frtu
Henry’s teacher. Tlie reader may judge
of Ins feelings, and of those of ihe boy’*
mother, when lie read—
“My Dear Sir: — l have just learn
ed tlris morning the painful news, that
Henry was seen to go on board tlie steam
er a few minutes before she sailed.—
You have doubtless heard of the friglit-
Cukdisasit-r which lias occurred to this
boat. 1 sincerely hope ihut no injury
has been sustained by your unhappy
boy.’* •
The poor mothei’s cry ofbgony filled
instantly, the apartment, and, for a lew
moments, Mr. Williams stood motionless,
almost paraliicd by the (earful intelli
gence.
A minute or two before, Henry, ‘who
Lad escaped all harm, though He] had
been in imminent danger, arrived at
borne. Another boat had taken die sur
viving passengers from the wreck, and
brought them to the iity. He had en
tered silently, and was standing so us to
see vvliat was passing in the room, when
liis father read tlie note from Mr. Joues.
There was no need of tin interpreter ‘ t) f
make him understand the meaning .. I0 is also
fathei’s look of fear ami anguish, and; also a
the mother's low wailing ery that thrilledbun-
Liin in every nerve. All this lie had oc- n
CMsioued. It was for him that they were "
so moved.
Not long did the penitent, and already
sorely punished bov, linger to gate upou
this painful scene. Witlt a quick hand
lie threw open die door and entered.-
How suddenly was all changed ! With
an exclatnatiou oi joy his mother caught
him iu her arms, and wildly hugged him
to tier bosom ; while the latlier sunk up
on a chair, and, covering liis face with
liis hands, s.-tight to conceal iiis emotions.
But little was said to Henry by bis
parents. As for himself, lie penitently
confessed every thing, and promised •
more faithful obedience to tlieir precept*
in future. Ami, lam happy to say, has
kept ids word. Whenever he is templed
to in t iu opposition to tlieir desires, the
piciure of wliut lie saw oil dial never U
he forgotten occasion, rises up before him
and he then remembers, that every wrong
act onbis part, brings pain to them.
Let ail children think of this; and re
solve that tliey will do nothing to grieve
and distress tlieir parents, to whom they
owe so iiiiicli ; who are daily toiling for
i lie hi, and ut ail times seeking tlieir
goud. T. 8. A.
