Oct. 24, 1851. lUjf ‘date €elifr. From Arthur’s Ifome Gazelle. 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.
