AN EVENING AT HOME 11V T. 8. AltTlllTK. ''Not going lollio bull i'titticl Mrs Liiullev, I with a look ami lone cf surprise. 4 What come over the girl V I don't know, but she says fihu's not go ing.!' 4 Doson't lier ball dress lit ?' '"Yes, beautifully.' 4 What is (li? matter, tlien ?' 'indued, tun, 1 cannot toll. You had bolter go tip and see her. It is I lie strangest notion in llic world. Why, yon couldn't Lire mu to stay at home.' Mrs. I-i ml ley went tip stairs, an<l entering liur daughter's room, found her sitting oil the side of the hod, with a beautiful ball dress in her hand. 4 It isn't possible, Helen, that you arc wot going to this ball V she said. Helen looked up with a hall'tserious, halfsmiling expression on Ih-i laee. ' Ive been Irving, for the last half hour,' i sho replied, ' to decide whether I ought to j go or stay at home. I think, perhaps, I j ought to remain at homo.' ' Jhit what earthly ivhmui can you have for doing so? ]>ou't you Iik your dress ?' Q )< >' vory much. I think it beautiful.' * Doesn't il fit you V 4 As well as any dross I ever had.' ' Arc you not well V 4 Very, well.' 4 Thou wliv not ?r?? t<> the hall ? It will bo, . . . 1 the largest and most fashionable oi! the sea- j son. iou know that your father and myself arc botli going. We shall want to Bee you tliere, of course. Your father will require some very good icascn for your abHence.' Helen looked peii'hxul at her mother's Ihst remark. 4 Do you think father will be displeased if 1 teniain at home V she allied. t i i . ?;o i - i km itiv nu win, uiih'ss vn c?ih fiati.sty liim that your reason for doing su is a very good 0110. Nor shall I feel that you are doing right. I wish all iny chihlren to act under the governm-jut of a hound judgment. Impulse, or reason* not to he spoken of freely to their parents, should in no ease j influence their aetieim. ' I wish to stay at homo for Edward's sake.1 An'l why for his, my dear V 4 J te doesn't go to the hall, you know.' 4 Because ho is too young, and too hackward. You couldn't hire him lo go there. Urn that is no reason why 7011 should reiuaiu at hoino. You wor.Jd never partake of any social umuFCinetil, were this always fo in licence you. L"l him spend ihe evening in reading. 1J<- iiiu.it Hut expect his Risters to deny themselves all recreation it* which he cannot or will not participate. 4 He dpes not. I ktn<w he would not hear to such a thing as my slaying at home on his account. 4 Then why s' ay ?' 4 Because I feel that I ought to tlx so.? This is tlie way Iliavo fill all day whenever I have thought of going. If I were to go, 1 know that I would not have a moment's enjoyment. lie need not know why I remain at home. To tell hint that I did not wish to go will satisfy his mind.' 'I shall not urge the matter, Helen,' Mis. hind ley said, aft?-r a silence of some moments. 'You arc old enough to judge in a matter of this kind for youiself. Hut, T must say, 1 think you rather foolidi.? You will not lind lvlward disposed to sacrifice so much for you.' 4 Of that 1 do not think, mother. Of that I ought not to think.' 1 1 'til I K.J.S not. Well, you may <lo as I vow- liko. JLiut 1 don't know what your father will say.' Mrs. LindIcy then left tho room. Ed ward Lindley was at the critical age I of eighteen ; llnit period when iimiiy young men, especially those who have l?een Messed with si>le's, would have highly enjoyed' a ball. L?ut Edward was shy, timid* i and bashful in company, and could hardly | ever bo induced to go out to yarlies with His sisters. Still, he was intelligent for his yeais, and companionable. 11 is many good qualities endeared him to bis family, and drew foitli from his sisters towards him a very tender rtgard. Among his male friends, were several about his own age, members of families with whom his own was on friendly terms. "With these be associated frequently, and with -two*or three others, intimately. For a mouth or two Helen noticed that one or another of these young friends called every now and then for I'M ward, in the evening, and that he went on'* with them and stayed until bedtime. J?ut, unless his sisters were from home, he never went of his own accord. 'i'he fact of his being out with these young n?en, rnut, from the first, troubled Helen ; though, the reason of her feeling troubled she could not tell. Edward lind good principles, and she could not bring herself to entertain fears of any clearly delined evil. Still a sensation of uneasiness was always produced when he was from home in the evening. ller knowing that Edward would go out^ after they had all left, was the reason why Helen did not wish to attend llie ball. The fiVst' thought of this had produced an unpleasant sensation in her mind, which increased the longer she debated the question of going away or remaining at home. Filially, she decided that s-l^e would not go. ?ri.u * * Uvv?IWu mua |>iHce imer lite interview With her mother, which was only half an hour from (lie time of starling. Edward knew nothing of the intention of his sister, lie was in his own room, dressing to go out, and supposed, when he heard the carriage drive from the door, that Helen had gone with the other members of the family. On descending to the parloy, he was fcwrprised to find her sitting by the centre-table, with a book in her j hand. 'Helen! Is this von ? I thought you ( had gone to tlie bail ! Are you not well V j I ho said quickly ami with uurpiise, coining I up to her side. ' I am very well, brother,' bhe replied, looking into his face with a smile of sisterly regard. 1 Hut 1 have concluded to stay at home this evening. I'm going to keep you company.' ' Are von, indeed ? Ki"ht jjlad am I of ! ... * i it. though 1 am sorry you have dep. ived yourself of the pleasure of this ball, which,. 1 believe, is to be a very brilliant one. I was just going out, because it is so dull at home when you are all away." - i am tu>i particularly desirous o! going t<? tin; ball. St? litllo so, that the thought of your being left here all alone had suflicient influence over me to keep mo away.' ' Indeed ! Well, I must say you are kiixl,' K'l\var?l returned, with feeling. The seifsaerilicing act of his sister had touched him sensibly. llotli Helen and her brother played well. She upon the harp and piano, and he upon the Pule and violin. Both were fond of i mu-ie, and practiced and played frequently together, l'art of the evening was spent in this way, much to the satisfaction of! each. Then an hoar passed in reading and conversation, after which, music was again resorted to. Thus lapsed the time pleasantly until the hour for ret. king came, when lliey separated, both with a:, internal feeling of pleasure more [delightful than they had experienced for a !on<r time. It was nearlv three o'clock before MY. and Mrs. Lindley, and tlio daughter who 11:ul accompanied them to the hall, cantc homo. Hours before, the senses of both Ivlward and Helen had been locked in furgetfulness. Time passed on. Klward Lindley grew up and hceame a man of sound principles ?a blessing lo his family and society, lie saw his sisters well married ; and he himself, finally, led to the altar a lovely maiden. She made him a truly happy husband. On the night o? his wedding, as he sat beside Ituleii, he paused for some time, in the midM. of a pleasant conversation, thoughtfully. At last he said, ' 1 ?o you remember, sister, the night you stayed home from the ball to keep me company ?' ' That was many years ago. Yes, 1 remember it very well, now you have recalled il lo my iiiiixi.' '1 liuvo often since thought, Helen,' lie said, wil l; a serious air, 4 lluit by llio simple net of lltus remaining atliomc for my sake, you were the means of saving me from *lcst ruction.' 4 Ilow so V asked the sis'cr. ' I was just then beginning lo form an intimate association with young men of my own age, nearly all of whom have since turned ouL badly. I did not care a great deal about their company; still, I liked society, arid used to he v/iili them frequently ?especially when you and Nfarv went out in the evening. On the night of the ball to which you were going, these young men had a supper, and I was to have been with them. I Ji?l not wish particularly to join them, but preferred doing so to remaining at home alone. To find you, as I did, so unexpectedly, in (he parlor, was an agree, able, surprise indeed. T stayed at home wmi a new pleasure, winch was heightened l>y the thought, that it was your love for 1110 that had made you deny yourself for my gratification. We read together 011 that evening, we played together, we talked of many things. In your mind I had never before seen so much to inspire mv own with high and pine thoughts. 1 remembered the conversation of tlm young men with whom 1 had been associating, and in which I had taken pleasure, with some thing like disgust. It was low, sensual, and too much of it vile and demoralizing. Never, from that hour, did I join them.? Their way, even in the early stage of life's journey, I saw to be downward, and downward it has ever since been tending. How often since have 1 thought of that point in time, so full-fraught with.good and evil influences! Those few hours spent with you suemed to lake scales from my eves. T saw with a new vi.Mon. I thought and felt dilferently. Had you gone to the ball, and I to meet those young men, no one can tell what might not have been the conse (jiienees. Sensual indulgences,, carricJ to excess, amid sonjjs and sentiments ealcuhi ted to awaken evil instead of good feelings, might have stamped upon my young and delicate mind a hius to low affections that never would have boen eradicated. That was the great starting-point in life?tlvc pe riod when I wa9 coming into a state of rationality and freedom. The good prevailed over the evil, and by the agency of my sister, as an angel sent by the Author of all'benefits to save me.' Like Helen Lindley, let every elder sister be thoughtful of hor brothers at that critical period in life, when the boy is about passing up to the stage of manhood, and she may save them from many a snare set for their unwary feet by the evil one. In closing this little sketch, we can say nothing better than has already been said by an accomplished American authoress, Mrs. Ferrar. 'So many temptations,* slic says, 1 beset young men, of wliioh young women know nothing, that it is of the utmost importance that your brothers1 evenings should be happily passed at home, that their friends should bo your friends, that Lheir engagements should be the enwe as yours, and that various innocent amusements should bo provided for them in the family circle. Music is an accomplishment chiefly valuable a? a home enjoyment, aa rallying round the piano the various members of a family, and harmonizing their hearts as well as voices, particularly in devotional strains. I know no more agrcenblo nod interesting | spectacle than that o!" brothers ami sisters plavin" and shitdni; together thoseidevatud . . ? . 1 compositions in music ami poetry which J | gratify the taste ami purity the heart, while : ' their fond parents sil delighted hy. 1 have ,| seen ami heard an elder sister thus lcadin<r r the family chior, who was the sonl of liar? ? mony to the whole household, and whoso c life was a perfect example of those virtues which I am here eml-javouring to inculcate. H Let no one say, in leading this chapter, that | too much is here required of sisters, that no " one can be expected to lead such a self- " :>iicriliiing life ; for the sainted one to whom ' I refer was all I would ask any sister to be, , and a happier person never lived. To do t good and to make others ha] py was her J. rule of life, and in this she found the art of r making herself so. 'Sistersshould always lie willing lo walk, ride, visit with their brothers, and esteem it a privilege to he their companions. It is worth while to learn innocent games for the sake of furnishing brothers with amusements, and making home the most agreeable place to them. 4 I have been loM by some who have | passed unharmed through the temptations j of youth, that they owed their escape from j many dangers to tlic intimate companion- | shit) of aTeetionale ami pure mir.iied sisters. | They have been saved from a hazardous meeting with i>llo company by some home j engagement, of which their sisters were the ; dial in; thi-y have refrained from mixing with tlie impure, because they would not bring home thoughts and feelings which they could not share with those trusting, lovihg friends ; they have put aside the wire-cup, and abstained from stronger potations, because they would not profane with their fumes the holy kiss, with which they were accustomed lo bid their sisters goodnight.* h.Jitb/'iicc iu Jh'i'.ss.?We object to imji Miuiiigciux* in ciress mat may jlistiv tie l " considered extravagant.
