brink of an abyss, into which a single step might 
at any moment have pluneed me.” 
The young man wept, and in his tears Mrs. 
Elder saw rainbows of hope. 
“ Charles," said the employer of Tilden, as the 
young man came into the counting-room where 
the latter was seated, the next morning, “I 
think you arc acquainted with the young men 
who are so disgracefully exposed in to-day’s 
paper.” 
“ What young men ?’’ asked Charles, with an 
instantly blushing face. 
“Reed, Harrison, Colton and John Warfield,” 
was answered. 
“ I have heard nothing of it, sir; what has 
happened them?” 
“ They were on a drunken frolic last night, 
when one of them insulted a lady, and was 
knocked down by her husband. He was knocked 
down in turn; but recovering himself, he struck 
one of his assailants, and broke his arm. The 
final result was an arrest of the four young men 
by the police, who will have to givo bail this 
morning for their good behavior and appearance 
at court. Two of them. Colton and Warfield, 
will lose their situations, I know; and the same 
result will follow, no doubt, in the other cases. 
If either of them had been in my employment, 
we would have parted company here." 
The employer of Charles did not know why 
his clerk’s face turned so pale. 
“You were not with them, I hope,” he said 
as a sudden suspicion crossed his mind. 
“ No, sir.” And Charles looked at him stead¬ 
ily, “I spent the evening with Mrs. Elder.” 
“Ah!” The employer's countenance lighted 
up again. “You could not have been in safer 
company.” 
“She is a true, good woman, sir,” replied 
Charles, speaking with more feeling and free¬ 
dom than usual; “and the early friend of my 
mother.” 
“ If she be your mother’s friend, visit her 
often,” was kindly answered. “Next to a 
mother, is a mother’s friend.” 
“ Oh I what an escape,” said Charles, speaking 
to himself, as he turned away, shuddering in¬ 
wardly. “And it was a kind word that saved 
me. Had Mrs. Elder treated me, like the rest, 
1 would have been overtaken in this evil and 
lost. But, God helping me, I will get back into 
the good path, and never leave it.” 
“Yes, .just such a fool, if you will,” replied 
Charles. “My word is passed to Mrs. Elder, 
and it shall not be broken.” 
“Thank God!" said Charles, as he walked 
aw r ay, and the recollection of two or three eve¬ 
nings, like the one in view, came vividly to his 
mind—“thunk God that 1 had sufficient resolu¬ 
tion to say no! I do not t hink the way just safe 
for my feet. More than once, already, I have 
slipped in this way— slipped and fallen into the 
mire.” 
And he drew a deep breath, with a sense of 
relief. 
“ Ah, Charles, it is pleasant to see you here 
again," said Mrs. Elder, with the blandest of 
welcoming smiles, 35 she took the young man’s 
hand that evening. “ Your mother's son must 
not desert an old friend. TTow have you been 
during these many weeks?” 
“About as weJl as usual,” replied Charles. 
But Mrs. Elder, whose eyes were reading every 
line of his face, missed something from his coun¬ 
tenance; and she also missed something from 
his voice. 
“As happy as usual ?” asked she. 
The question, altogether unexpected, made 
Charles drop his eyes to the floor. Looking up 
in a moment, he answered: 
•• No; not so happy as I have been. Is it dif¬ 
ferent with any, Mrs. Elder ? Do we grow sad¬ 
der as we grow older ?” 
“ Not if we grow wiser and better,” she 
replied. 
He looked down to the floor again, but made 
no reply. 
“At your age, Charles,” said Mrs. Elder, 
“ when the feelings are warm, the appetite keen 
to relish every indulgence, and reason not firmly 
seated on his throne, there are few who do not 
fall into some excess. But it is a law of our be¬ 
ing, that excesses of any kind bring punishment 
with them. They always leave the mind op¬ 
pressed with a sense of wrong doing, and a con¬ 
sciousness that something of true manhood lias 
departed. How is it in your experience ? Arc 
my words true?” 
An involuntary sigh parted the lipsof Charles, 
as he answered — 
“ They are true, Mrs. Elder—true in my case; 
I speak it with shame.” The young man lost 
his calm self-possession, and showed consider¬ 
able agitation. 
“ It is not surprising then, Charlie, that you 
grow sadder as you grow older,” said Mrs. Elder, 
speaking even with a tenderer interest than be¬ 
fore. “ Your experience is that of every young 
man who has gone one step away from the right 
path. The evil that entices, with its offer of 
wild pleasure in tiip present, has no opiate to 
dull the pain of Sell-consciousness after the brief 
excitement is over.” The face of Cbarle- was 
very sober. True words were reaching him 
with convictions, tic* saw in the light of an¬ 
other mind that was helping him to a clearer 
vision. Vice looked more hideous in his eyes 
and more to be dreaded, than it had ever done; 
and virtue more beautiful and more to be desired. 
“Suppose you were on a journey,” said Mrs. 
Elder, “ and were to miss your way and get into 
a road that seemed at first parallel with the right 
one, but gradually turned until it run in the op. 
positc direction—when would the return be the 
easiest? After the first few steps has been 
taken ? or after you had moved onward for a 
great while in the wrong direction?” 
“ Easiest after the first few steps of course,” 
replied the young mien. 
“ II is just so in the journey of life, Charles,” 
said Mrs. Elder, with impressive earnestness. 
The longer your feet abide in the wrong way, 
the harder will it be to return. The first few 
step* may be easily retraced; but if you get 
once involved in the mazes of an evil life you 
will find it havd — uay, almost impossible to ex¬ 
tricate yourself. See what difficulties you have 
already encountered.” 
“ I have encountered no difficulties, Mrs. El¬ 
der,” said the young man. 
“ You forget she answered. “ When the vir¬ 
tuous turn from us coldly, and refuse to let us 
associate with them, is not that a great hin¬ 
drance? Does it not push us beyond the at¬ 
tractive power of good, and make the attractive 
power of evil stronger? You must have felt 
this already, Charles; for I know that more 
than one circle of the virtuous has dosed against 
you.” 
The young man’s face crimsoned. 
“ I do not wish to offend or hurt you, Charles,” 
continued Mrs. Elder. “I am only trying, as 
best I can, to make you see upon what danger¬ 
ous ground your feet are standing. When once 
you comprehend this, 1 tun certain you will start 
back with a shudder of fear. Already there is 
a shadow on your good character. Even as 
your feet stepped over the threslihold of man¬ 
kind, you let a stain appear on your garments, 
and it has been made visible to many who will 
not fail to point it out, unless speedily removed. 
Wash it off, my dear young friend.” 
“ My wise, good, true friend,” said the young 
man, catching at the hand of Mrs. Elder, and 
showing strong emotion, “ 1 seem to hear iu 
your voice the voice of my mother! And I 
will tuko heed to the warning words you have 
spoken kindly, even as my mother would have 
spoken them. It was a good Providence that 
sent you into that car to-day. 1 was hurt and 
iudignant, and growing hard and desperate un¬ 
der the cold repulsion with which the persons 
you saw there treated me. Your face, smiling 
on me as of old; your kind voice; the earnest 
pressure of your band; the warmly urged invi¬ 
tation to visit you, restored me to better feelings. 
It was in God’s mercy that 1 promised; for asl 
walked homeward this evening, a temptation 
came in my way which, except for my promise 
to you, could not have been resisted, it can, I 
trust, have no power over roe again; for, through 
your clearer eye, I see my danger as I never 
saw it before, and stand appalled on the very 
“ I have heard some things about him,” was 
replied, “that caused me great pain.” 
“ Why, he was seen actually staggering in the 
street no later than lust week!" said the lady, in 
virtuous indignation. 
“Poor boy!” Mrs. Elder spoke in a tone of 
deep pity. 
“ And worse than that! He has been seen in 
company with persons of notoriously vicious 
habits. The fact is. he is going to ruin as fast 
as his feet can carry him.” 
“I hope not,” replied Sirs. Elder. “He may 
have gone astray from weakness— poor mother¬ 
less boy! not, Pm sure, from an evil proclivity. 
And now is the time to put forth a hand to save 
him, instead of pushing him off coldly. Are all 
without sin— all without some sad memory of 
straying—that we visit a boy’s first evil ways in 
such stern, repelling displeasure?” 
“ Conduct like his,” spoke up a gentleman, 
“ must meet with disapprobation. If you smile 
upon him, and tolerate him, as of old, he will 
think his sin a light one; but if he discovers, at 
once, that he must lead a good life or forfeit the 
approval and society of the virtuous, he will 
be made fully aware at the onset of the loss or 
gain involved. I think, to speak freely, Mrs. 
Elder, that you do wrong to meet him iu the 
free, kind way you did, and invite him to visit 
you as of old.” 
“Do you think an evening Spent with me 
likely to make him worse or better ?” asked Mrs. 
Elder. 
“No worse, certainly,” was answered. 
“Yet be might spend t 'ie evening in company 
with those who could not fail to do him good.” 
“Yes.” 
“ I want no other argument in favor of whatl 
have done. It is in the quality of social life 
which surrounds a young man that we must 
look, in the main, for the causes of his elevation 
or depression. If, because of a single w rong step 
— or for many wrong steps—taken in the blind 
heat of youth, we thrust him out from virtuous 
associations, do we not make his return to the 
right paths a thousand times more difficult? 
Depend upon it, wandering ones can be reclaim¬ 
ed much easier than by the stern visitation of 
penalties, which they may feci as disproportion¬ 
ate to the evil thing done.” 
“ He can never visit my house as of old,” said 
another of the ladies in the ear, speaking in an 
indiguant manner. “ The last time I had com¬ 
pany, he was there, and became so much intoxi¬ 
cated, during the evening, as to annoy every 
one. I was really mortified at his compauy.” 
It was on the lip of Mrs. Elder to say that she 
trusted the lady would keep her resolution; but 
she forbore. 
As Charles Tilden, the young man to whom 
we have referred, was going home in the even¬ 
ing, he met a young friend who greeted him 
warmly. 
“I was just thinking of you, Charley,” he 
said, as they stood with clasped hands. There’s 
to be some sport to-night, and you must enjoy it 
with the rest.” 
“What kind of sport?” asked Tilden. 
“ Billiards first, and oysters and champagne 
afterward — all just in your line,’’ 
“Who make up the party?” 
“ Harrison. Reed and Colton for three. Fine 
fellows, as you can testify.” 
Tilden was about yielding his assent to join 
the party when he remembered his promise to 
call and see Mrs. Elder.

THE FAIRIES. 
List ye the murmurs in yonder flow’ry dell ? 
Sweet, and more sweet how the mystic measures swell 
There, gaily glancing 
With Luna’s luster crown’d, 
Fairies are dancing 
Upon the dewy ground. 
Hushed is the harp of the warbling nightingale, 
She is enamor’d with the music in the vale; 
Now it increases,— 
Most rapturous the flow,— 
Now almost ceases, 
So tremulous and low. 
Had we the eye of a fairy, might we see 
Their varied gambols round the alder tree; 
Joyously meeting 
Upon the open glade, 
Coyly retreating 
Within the covert shade. 
Fair Lucena tarries at her zenith height, 
Thoughtless of her mission so charming the sight; 
Where'er extend the mazy 
Gyrations of their play, 
Each violet and daisy 
la the footprint ef a fay.

KIND WORDS SAVED HIM 
The car stopped, and the young man entered. 
He did not look to be over twenty years of age. 
Glances were exchanged between three or four 
gentlemen and ladies, from each of whom the 
young man received a very cold nod. There 
was not so much as the ghost of a smile on any 
one of the faces; but rather austere reproof. 
The new passenger flushed a little at finding so 
many persons in the car with whom he had 
some acquaintance, and all disposed to let him 
feel that he must keep at a distance. He sat 
down close beside a lady who had recognized 
him; but she did uot address him a single word, 
and lather leaned away from than toward him. 
“ A pleasant morning,” the young man said 
to the lady. 
“Quite pleasant. 1 ’ She did not so much as 
turn her head, but drew herself up with the air 
of one who felt the remark as an intrusion. 
The young man said no more, but sat very 
still, with a gradually clouding face, and a se¬ 
vere, almost desperate expression passed into 
his tightly dosed lips. 
Conversation which had been checked by his 
entrance, flowed on again. The gentlemen and 
ladies talked cheerfully together; but no one ad¬ 
dressed a remark to the young man, who, it was 
evident, had some taint of bad conduct about 
him, which now erected a barrier between him 
and former friends and acquaintances. 
The car stopped again, and this time a lady 
passenger entered. She nodded and smiled to 
most of those who had recognized the young 
man, and then taking a seat beside him, and of¬ 
fering her hand, which he took, said, in a kind, 
interesting voiee. 
“How do you do, Charles?” 
The warm blood mounted to the boy’s face — 
he was only a hoy, yet, unfortunately, with a 
man’s freedom and self-confidence — as he an¬ 
swered — 
“Very well, Mrs. Elder, thank you!” 
His eyes filled suddenly with light, and his 
rigid lips parted with a smile as soft and gentle 
as a woman’s. 
The other passengers who had “cut” the 
young man exchanged surprised questionable 
glances. 
“You havn’t called to see me for some time, 
Charles,” said the lady. “How is this? Old 
friends must not be wholly set aside for new 
ones.” 
“ I have been neglectful, and 1 am ashamed of 
it, Mrs. Elder,” was replied, and in a way that 
showed the young man to be gratified by the 
manner in which the lady had addressed him;” 
“ and I’m going to call very soon.” 
“How soon?” 
“This week, sometime.” 
“Why not say this evening? I shall be at 
home.” 
“ This evening, then, if it will be agreeable, 
Mrs. Elder.” 
“ That’s right. It will be pleasant for me to 
see your face again in my house, Charles. You 
must not neglect me so again, if I’m getting to 
bo an old woman. I shall grow jealous of your 
younger aud more attractive friends.” 
“ There is no oecasiou for you to be jealous of 
any of my youugfriends, Mrs. Elder. They can 
never take your place in my heart—never.” 
The young man said this with evident feeling; 
then adding, as he rose — 
“Good morning, I must leave you here;” and 
he made a sign for the conductor to stop the 
car. 
“Good morning, Charles,” said the lady 
kindly, giving her hand at the same time.— 
“And don’t forget that I am at home this 
evening.” 
“I shall not .forget, that, Mrs. Ekler, you may 
be sure.” And without even glancing toward 
the other passengers in the city railroad car ? 
who had treated him so coldly, he stepped upon 
the platform, and thence to the street. As the 
hell sounded lor the car to move on again, a lady 
turned to Mrs. Elder and said, with a very 
grave countenance — 
“ Are you aware how badly that young man 
has been conducting himself of late ?”

Then there arose a de¬ 
bate in his mind as to which he should forego. 
The visit could be paid to Mrs. Elder on almost

break his promise was strong. He liked billiards;

Still he could not satisfy 
his mind that it would be right to break his 
promise to Mrs. Elder, particularly as she ap¬ 
peared to be the only one of many friends and 
acquaintances who had not grown suddenly cold 
to him. As to the reason of this change he was 
not Iu ignorance. He knew that he was “get¬ 
ting a little, astray,” as he mildly termed it; but 
flattered himself that any serious danger was 
remote; and was rather more indignant than re¬ 
pentant at the mortifying “ cuts” which he had 
received from certain people, who had once 
given him freely the enlre of their houses. 
*• I believe,” said he, after standing silent for 
a few moments, “ that I am engaged for this 
evening.” 
“I’m sorry for that, Charles,” replied the 
other, in a tone of regret. “What is the en¬ 
gagement?” 
“ I promised to call ou Mrs. Elder to-night,” 
“ Oh! is that all ? Hang Mrs. Elder. The 
idea of a gay young chap like you giving up bil¬ 
liards, oysters and champaigne for an old wo¬ 
man’s company! That is what 1 call rich.” 
Mrs. Elder and the mother of Tilden had been 
friends in girlhood, and their friendship had con¬ 
tinued a closely clinging bond up to the hour of 
Mrs. Tilden’s death, which took place nearly 
ten years before the period of which wc arc 
now writing. Charles, who still retained a 
vivid recollection of his mother, knew of this 
warm attachment, and the knowledge of it had 
always served to draw him, with something like 
affectiou, toward Mrs. Elder. JTe loved her 
with a kind of filial love; for lie always seemed 
nearer to the sainted one when by her side. 
Now this light speech of his young friend, In¬ 
stead of producing the effect designed wrought 
only in the opposite direction. Charles felt 
shocked at hearing the name of Mrs. Elder 
spoken so irreverently— and more particularly 
so at this lime, when she, of ail the whole circle, 
was nearly the only one who still offered him 
her hand or spoke to him iu the tones of kind¬ 
ness aud welcome. 
“I shall keep my promise to Mrs. Elder,” he 
answered, firmly. 
“No! You’re not such a fool as that,” said 
the other, coarsely.
