Of cleaning paint, and scrubbing" floors, and
securing fin‘ and near ;
Heaped in the corners of the‘ rooin,-the‘ ancient
dirt lay quiet, _
Nor rose up at the father's tread, nor to the
_ children's riot;
But: now the carpets Iu'0_ all up, and fi-om the
staircase top‘,
The m'ist"ross culls to man and maid to wield
the broom and mop.
‘Where are those rooms,- those quiet iooriis. the
h.':’uso but now presented,
'\‘Vherein we dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt,-so cosy
and contented ?
Alas! they've turned all upside down, that quiet
suite of rooms-,
With slope and suds, and soap and send, and
tubs and pails and bi'oom's.
Chairs, tables. stairds. are standing rou"nd, at"
sixes and at sevens,
While wife and liousemiiids fly about like ine-
teors in the heavens. .
The parlor and the chamber floor were cleaned
a week ago; ' ,
The carpets shock and ivindows washed, as all
the nei;_;hbors know; / '
But still the sancttim had esctiped—‘—tho table‘

And sighs to find them on the desk or in the

And then he grimly thinks of her who set this

And wishes she were out at sea, in a ’very lea-

He meets her at the parlor door,
and cap awry. ,

He feels quite small, and knows full well there

Take these. papers into your desk, Cirans
get‘, and let them all be (’O;ilt1(l before to-mor-
row night,’ said Secretary Z to a‘ bright.
eyed, ruddy-checked youéli, who stood at his
desk one S‘atu'i~day evening, in the ac’: ofput-
iing it in order, toleave. as usual till Monday
morning. .‘ Business has got behind here, 1
find, through the negligence of some of you
c'lerks,"he oontinoeil, looking round on‘ some
half dozen young men who were gathered
about the door waitting to receive their week-
ly zilloivance, ‘and the matter most and shell
be looked into. I thought these do<:uo’i‘ents
were copied; they are very important, and
must be fi'iii.~:hed in the best" mariner by‘ the
time l in_eniioned":" they lirlong to your depan't-
n"i'ent,- Granger.’ _ .
So saying he placed them" on the desk of
the individual thus addressed, and was turn-
ing away when he met the young man’s eyes
fixed on him in some surprise; for the order
was a very unu"su"-al one,-and Granger, though
but an under clerk in the office, was lo:no‘wn
them‘ all. The Sabbath had heret"ofo’re been
his‘ own‘, to devote" to‘ those sacred duties
which so well befii the day in the estimat"-ion
of every religious lEea'rt._ Conscientious he
was too, about the employment of time for
mere worldly business on that day" ; and there-
fore, though the yoiingest in the office, he
ventured modestly and respectfully, to say, as
the Secretary walked away in a very perplex-
ed and dissatisfied manner?" " ,
‘ To-uicrroiv is, Sunday sir; perhaps...’
‘I know that,‘ sir,’ sharply retorted that
g‘entlem'an,tiirning' ab"t‘upt.ly a‘«ou‘nd and ga.
Zing angrily at the youth. ‘ ‘Do you" suppose

Let this work be done

dodt‘ s5.-end any more time in i'nq.uiries or re-
innrlis, if you please.’ _ ‘ _
V ‘I beg; your partlo‘n', sir,’ said Gt'a‘n"g"e"r,' his
face suffused ivith blushes as he spoke, and
his manner en.barrassed and confused by the
uncommon asperity and ill humor of his
master; ‘I beg your pardon‘ sir,.hu't really,-
E would raih'er not write on the S‘.!b"l}'£1ll).‘ I'll
stay fo;iiigh't' and’—-'-’ _ _ 1
‘Very well", sir, very well,’ interrupted the
Secretary, without waiting to hear the con-
clusion the sentence ;- ‘do just as you‘ like,
by" all means, sir ;" but if your conscience is
so very scrupulous, somebody «else i’1§u'st:' ita-
dertake the scrvice,iind l"ienceforth,you‘ must

These bitter and un’rea‘soneébly hasty vvords
stung the young clerk to the quick for he
was keenly sensitive to‘ disgrace" 0'!‘ C9D"SU‘r0,
and he felt in-his heart--that he deserved‘ nei-

lu_cratjve, but still desira‘bl"e, and sought by
many an eager iipplicantz" but he needed the
income rnodetafe as it was, for he was p'o"o'r'
and his i"n'othet'+ol1,-hi.a motheris need had
well nigh resolved him to do evil that good
tI)'lgh'l. C'Of‘I_1'e_f"O,_l’]e‘l‘.j But a‘ better thought
preiaiiled, througli the spomzzneotis 0"pet‘aliq!’i
‘ of those priiiciples which had been sown in
his heart by that mot'her’s care and vi'ra'tchful-
ness andwisilom. The spirit ofirue i‘n‘anli-
ness she had infused into his young heart, and
real heroism, that heroism which dares op-
pose itself to evil, a heroism vvhich thousands
who stand tétimoved at the <:'}:in_non"s mouth
cannot claim, and dare not assume.
Yes, in the hour of ten'iptatio‘n, tlx‘o'u‘gh, as
far as he could lorsee them, the c'onsequen‘ces
would be peculiaily disastrous to his interest,
he dared to be_a man ! dared to‘ do right l and
this is genuine manlincss. Now,-many young
people, young lads like him,-' would’ in his
situation, think it plainly their part to do the
bidding oftlieireinployer, especially if there
was any risk oftheir Own interest in refusiiig‘.
And others would reason,’ thaiif older or wi-
ser people thought there was no harm in do‘-
ing a little business oti Sunilay, particularly"
ifit had very much accumu'l-died di1’ring‘ the
week, why should they be oversci-upulous?
They would not be r9spo‘nsible for doing
what they were obliged to do. _ _
Those who would thus satisfy~tl1‘e"m'se"l<'"es
have not the right sortof principles;-have not
such_as will aid them to triuinpli over the
besetiing temptations of their period of life.
In short, they have not the courage to be
uien. They forget that no one holds author-
ity over them which can compel them to do
wrong. They are never to violate the com-
mand of God to obey a human inaster. Eist-
ter,, far better it is, in such a situation, to
sullcr the wrong than to do it. If your inas-
ter tells you to izikc money out ofa neighbor's
drawer you would not feel bound to obey,
you would scorn to obey him‘ ; and the saine
God who has said. ‘Thor! shalt not steal.’
sa_\,‘~s also, ‘Remainder the S.ib'bath day to
keep it holy.’ _
Young Gi'an"'ger waited but u’ m‘o‘inent
while the color went and came in his boyish
checks, indicative ofa painful conflict within,
and then he said in a loivuad respectful tone,
but very firm and decided wiihal:
‘I cannot \\"I'l1c‘ on the Sabbath, sir; but i
will occupy all the hours that do not belong
to that day, between now and the time the
ollice id opened Monilii_v" inorning, and have
the workdoiic in the best manner and short-
est tim'«2 I can possibly do it. I should be
very sorry, sir, t"o'disoblige you, or to lose
my place,bul indeed, I c".innot- write oil the
Sabbath day.’ l
‘ Very well, sir; then’, as I said just" novv,
you ‘and your c'onsc‘ienc'e inustseelf o'ccupa-
ll°"”.€l56\\'iiei-ta,’ said the S"eci'etary, co’ntei"r"i'pt-
uouely; ‘ Your-hill, sir if you please; we
will relieve you" ofsuch respo'nsibilitic's as you
have hitherto sustained aniong us, with as
little delay as possible; You are resolved?’
‘Yes, si"r, said Granger, deeply ivonnded
by the taunting tone and manner of his mas-
ler,bu"tc"onsc’ious that_lze' was in the right,
and determined bravely tg abide the‘ issue.‘-1
The Secretary tidgeted,a'oou‘t. while the rnon-‘
ey w‘as_coiziitcii', for in‘ truth be was tin‘v"7iilin‘g
to‘ lose so upl'i;;‘lit,- regular, and c‘o‘n'sciemious
a hand from‘ the office", and he had not sup-‘
posed it" possible that he would sacrifice his
place to his principles. But seeing m'a‘tters
had taken such 3 turn he could not c"o'm‘pi‘o- '
misc his ill-humor and reinstate him" for his
integrity ; oh, no,it would be -a‘ sh‘o'ckin_r_: pie-
ceilent, and all the other clerks would be ta-"
king advantage ofit; he must carry out his
th'rea'tenings,~ though unwise and undeserved.
So‘, with cold civilly, he Wished :1 good e've-
ning t"o,Granger, and turned to arrange ‘the
busi’n‘es's with some one who had already vol-‘
unteered to do it without :1 scrapie. Alas,-
for an indirrated co‘n.-.‘cien'ce;~ well may its
p‘ossesso'rsirembie,- for it is the arriror with
which the arch erremy delights to‘ invest his
vo‘tary,- while he lii'res him into danger and
laughs to see him fall.
Our young hero felt sari enongli as he
walked homeivard, revolving the scene in‘
which he had _]l.!'§l. been- an actor. What
would his mother say, when‘ she had léen
able to obtain the situation‘ for him onrlyby
repeated efforts, n'egoti’a‘tions' and delays ?—
Vvhy, he well knew‘ thatshe would
lay ire!‘ hand on his head and bless him’, re-
joicing ifl'~l'llS victory over temptation, more
than if he had won a casket of diamoncis.--
But thcnshe \Vl1"S"0l"(l, feeble, i‘nfii‘in and pbor ,1
and‘ his young si‘s‘te'r ought" to be kept‘ at
school in order to ("it her to take care of her-
self. I-Iow sorely would they need” the a'vail
of his llaborl It was their main, and many
llfIlt’§ their only dependence :_ and" now
which way should he turn? Perhaps they
would think he had been rash and busty ;?
perhaps others would ;" and it might be very
dif§'cu"ltt"o get‘ cnrployoient in con'seq'u‘ence.
All these things passed rapicily through’ his
, mind‘, soinetiines alarming him’ by their sour-'
br-e coloring, au’d then‘ a'ga‘in‘ pifcsen'ti’n"g a"
hoe of satisfaction and hope.‘ One thing he
was sure of, he hart acted right, and therehe
.v)ou_‘l'(,l rest the matter. . _ _

‘y ‘ N o’, Everet, don’t: go there" again ;* he wit!
only take you as a‘ boy, and give you boy’:
pay, if he would consent to‘ take you at" all,’
advised Sarah Jane. ‘ I will leave‘ school

And so they did. The services" of tire‘
s3nctu'ary,- the Sabbath-school, the Bible-class"
were duly attended, as well as those of the!
closet, and the ivi‘dovv’s family found them.-
selves not only ha‘ppy in the present, but
trustful and quiet about the future.-
Monday evening came, and 130 ¢'f,i'f;‘,ge fiat!

that he should be reinstated at the oflice'

M'33,‘ and how fa‘ithfu‘l he had been in’ the‘
discharge of his duty there. But no‘ tidingi
came to that effect, and he had rgia‘de’:':‘pplica-'

stores, and no‘ e'dd‘itio‘n‘al h'el'p was wanted, _
as it chanced not" being the’ l')i'i"sy" sea's'o'i‘i.-<-=-
Tuesday came and went in" the same manner,»
and Everett began to be dish’eai~t"ened, not-
withstanding’ tho approving smile of his"
prirdent mot'ti-er,- and the ozisde-bu'ifdiog' of
his light-h’ea'ried sister. He c‘"oi‘Ild not feel at‘
