had adopted the other extreme, for he was one of 
those men who can see no middle course. The 
unhappy, misguided young man, left the city. In a 
few months he was convicted of forgery and sen¬ 
tenced to a long imprisonment. This was the death 
blow to his mother.. Already worn with grief, she 
survived it. hut a short time. Can we wonder that 
the poor man is pitied by this happy family, where 
judicious parental training is rewarded by filial 
affection, and followed by lives of usefulness. 
But others have joined the group. George has 
arrived, and with him Mr. Avery, a young clergy¬ 
man from Grovetown. Another carriage arrives, 
and all join to welcome the good old pastor and his 
family. Soon aunt Helen comes hustling in, and 
saying, "they are about ready,” arranges chairs, 
and assigns places for the children, telling them to 
be quiet now. 
The door opens. George and Maria enter, 
escorting Mr. Avery and Net.lie. The old pastor 
were he living now? Would he call a man honor¬ 
able because he paid his legal debts, and scrupu¬ 
lously maintained his standing with business men. 
when he would take money, time and privilege 
from a brother, and repay him with arrogance nud 
servitude? It is too bad, .James. lie ought to 
place you in an honorable, profitable position, and 
give your children equal privileges with his own. 
“ If you look around. Helen, you will find wealthy 
brothers seldom do thus by the poorer ones. Nor 
by the sisters, either. Helen. They are allowed to 
take care of themselves. If a man is prosperous, it 
is supposed to he the result of his own enterprise. 
If another is poor it is his own fault I have learned 
to be content with little, and you know Ella never 
complains. I do not desire too much assistance 
for my children. If they rise by their own exer¬ 
tions mainly, there is much more hope for their 
living virtuously, and spending their lives in use¬ 
fulness.”

my own family to enrich his. It tvould not do. 
“now have you repaid your brothers kindness?” 
demanded conscience. 
“The form moves. A look of mingled sadness 
and reproach is cast upon him. ’ Tis my father! 
He has risen to reprove me for my falsehood and 
unkindness. I must take a turn in the fresh air,” 
thought he, rising; “going to the graveyard has 
given mo the glooms.” He could not rid himself of 
the conviction of injustice to his brother. He felt 
that he had been unkind in refusing him aid when 
his need was so great, and his own ability to help 
him so evident He asked his brother with regard 
to his situation and prospects. Before he left, by 
his advice, and encouraged by his representations, 
James decided to let the farm go lo satisfy his cred¬ 
itors, sell what personal property he could, and 
with the avails remove his family to Newton, where 
Chari.es resided. 
“ There is no reason to fear that you will not get 
along well there,” said he. “I will see that you 
have good business. I can’t tell just what, now; no 
matter. Just come along, and all will he right 
You owe it to your children to get out of this poor 
place.” 
“That is true,” replied James; “if I wish to 
educate them, or expect to keep them near me.” 
“ There is no trouble about educating children 
there. We have a college and a ladies’ seminary 
within half a mile of my house. With a little help, 
if the boys are only industrious and persevering, 
they can go ahead in almost any thing they choose. 
You know I have farms to rent, and want hoys in 
the office all the time. We need not make any 
definite plans now. Just come along.” 
It was with brighter prospects than they had seen 
for years that the family prepared lo leave the old 
home. The parting was a sad one, as such partings 
must ever be. There is no borne like tho first homey 
where 
* * * “Life itself was new, 
And the heart promised what the fancy drew." 
The tendrils of affection, intertwined with each 
loved, familiar object, once loosened, never again 
attach themselves with the same tenacity. 
James Wilton did not start for the West with 
golden visions of speedy wealth. He did not 
expect support from his brother. The small means 
which he was able to realize from the little property 
he had to sell, were nearly all expended when be

We will visit our friends once more, then bid 
them adieu. It is Thanksgiving day, that festival 
so much prized by all the sons and daughters of 
New England. Many weeks before, it was planned 
to have a family reunion this day at the farm-house 
where James resides with his son Henry. The 
little farm which <mnt Helen helped to purchase 
has been enlarged and improved. A tasteful, com¬ 
modious residence occupies the place where stood 
the little old house. As we enter the family parlor, 
no tokens of great wealth attract the eye, but every¬ 
thing wears that look of comfort which is ever so 
grateful to the occupant, and leaves nothing to he 
desired. 
Like a patriarch among his race sits the elder 
brother, father, grandfather, in the midst of the 
happy group; by his side, she who so lovingly has 
shared Ills cares, his sorrows and his joys. A glance 
at their cheerful faces shows us that age with its 
infirmities has not rendered life a burden, or unfitted 
them for social enjoyment. This is called aunt 
Helen's home; but many are the occasions when 
her society is claimed by others of the family con¬ 
nection. Of course she has been here now assisting 
Henry’s wife, for who would think of getting up a 
Thanksgiving dinner without aunt Helen's help? 
Julia is here with her children, and one grand¬ 
child, which she is sure is the brightest hoy for his 
age she ever did see. 
That pleasant looking gentleman, who is con¬ 
versing with Mrs. Wilton, is he who some years 
since persuaded her daughter Maria to share some 
time from her favorite art to devote to the less 
imaginative one of house-keeping. Nellie has 
acquired the reputation of an excellent teacher. 
During the past year she has taught in the Ladles’ 
Seminary at Grovetown. where George, now a 
practicing physician, is located. He is no quack. 
He ranks among the first in his profession. In him 
are. united the skill!ul physician, and the earnest, 
active Christian. Who can adequately estimate the

THE WILTONS. 
BY EULA BRYARD, 
;Concluded from page 188, last week.] 
It is now two years since James Wilton received 
He is seated alone 
his mother’s dying blessing, 
with his wife. 
“ Did you get a letter?” she asks, anxiously. 
“ Yes,” is the reply. 
“From Charles?” 
“ Yes, from Charles.” 
Ella's heart sinks as she remarks the sad tone, 
slightly tremulous as it is. Tears stand in her 
eyes as he slowly paces the room, traces of sup¬ 
pressed emotion visible in Lis countenance. At 
length he seats himself by ber, saying, “ Yes, Ella, 
he 1 has written me. He say? he is sorry I have been 
obliged to mortgage the larrn, and to secure debts 
incurred by mother's illness, too. He supposed her 
portion of the properly would pay that, and more. 
He is surprised to find her illness was so expensive. 
He would gladly lend me the mouey to lift the mort¬ 
gage if he could; but the times are hard, property 
fetches nothing—he does not know how he will get 
money to pay his taxes, oven. In a postscript he 
adds;—“ Write again if I am sued.” 
“ I would not write to him again if I were turned 
out of doors,” said Ella. “It is too had,” con¬ 
tinued she. bursting into tears, “when you helped 
him to mouey, though you were poor, and had to 
work so hard. He has been making his thousands, 
while you stayed here and did what it was just as 
much his duty to do. He is an ungrateful, hard¬ 
hearted man.” 
“Gently, Ella, dear,” said her husband, sooth¬ 
ingly, “Wo, who have had our sympathies nour¬ 
ished in poverty, little realize the hardening effect 
of monoy-making. Those who are constantly en¬ 
gaged in negotiations which promise great profit, 
easily become unable to look upon any pecuniary 
transaction in another light than the advantage they 
will gain by it. Then, again, it is difficult for one 
long accustomed to the ability to gratify every wish, 
to realize the want of means for the actual necessi¬ 
ties of life. He says he does not know where he 
shall get money to pay his taxes—that is, of the many 
resources he has, he does not know from which he 
shall draw. In this time ol depression he may 
make some efforts which will Ml. Now my apply¬ 
ing to him he may carelessly regard as one of many 
expedients, some of which he hopes will succeed.” 
“I don't believe lie thinks or cares at all,” said 
Ella. “ I hope yon won’t write him if every one 
of them sues you.” 
“I shall, perhaps, with a gentle allusion to the 
past,” 
“ I’ll starve first,” said Ella, vehemently. 
“No you shan’t,” said he, catching her up in 
his arms. “I have pride, Ella, and long ago de¬ 
termined that no extremity should ever drive me to 
ask aught of him who, in his affluence, could so neg¬ 
lect his friends who had cheerfully assisted him to 
the full extent of Iheir means. He seems to have 
entirely forgotten his obligations and promises; but 
they should lie as binding on his honor as if secured 
by scores of legal bonds. Dr. Reed's note will be

will be. 1 shall write again. For myself. I would

where, hy diligence and economy, he hoped to 
accomplish his purpose. Making an unwise invest¬

half the stipulated amount, he lost all. His father 
reproached him for his imprudence, refusing to 
credit him for the unfortunate sum. He must know 
how to take care of money before he could trust 
him with it. Disheartened hy this decision, and 
exasperated by his father's censures, he made no 
further efforts to accumulate. Despising the fru¬ 
gality he had exercised to so little purpose, he 
changed his style ot living, and mingled freely in 
gay society. His salary soon proved insufficient to 
supply his wants. By skillful management, money 
and credit were obtained in his father’s name. This 
was discovered. His next resource was defrauding
