OH, INTEGRITY REWAROED.
nr MKT A OR A V.
Inflexible integrity is of more value than
riches, and will always bring success to its
}?oeeessor, while vice is often its own punishment,
as will clearly he shown in the little
sketch 1 am going to draw for you from
facta that have come uuder iny own olwervation.
In one of our most flourishing cities, situated
at the juncture of two noble river* was
the home of my hero, Walter Clark. He
was born in the lap of luxury ; his father, at
that period, being one of the wealthiest men
in the plaoe, and lived in groat stylo. IJia
mother was a lively, modest, domestic woman,
and a true christian. Ilia father, a
man of the world, very talented, but almost
Utterly devoid of principle, regarding truth,
potea an eaaentinl virtue, but something to
b* used when anything waa to be gained by
it. With auuh feelings and sentiments, he
waa ahunned by men of strict principles, who |
would have led him into a different channel,
and perhaps their example would have guided
his life-bark aafeiy into the moorjngs
where happiness await* all who strivo for
that haven.
Far different was hi* lot. lie became the
netoeiate of men of doubtful reputation, who
thought him a prize worth biting for, and
finally oaught him. lie had inherited liia
property fr.?m bin father, who had scuffled
hard that bia eon might not have to toil an
he had done; but the kind father had not
been laid to reet beneath the waving willow
J but a abort time, when hi* ungrateful ton
commenced to squander the accumulated
avfogn of years or toil and anxiety. With
? sorrow his wife watched her husband's
sward course, and exhausted all her powers
of MfaMMion to turn hinrback to the paths
of virtgfife Jo vain were all ber pleadings.
They regarded. And ere the sum-.
' "t " " /* W
mer of life hn<i come on wilh its sun-shine j
and flowers, iaid him in a dishonored grave.
Walter at the time of his father's death I
was eleven years old ; his mother had ever i
inculatcd in his youthful mind right principles
of truth, honor and sobriety, nod her
teachings had been planted in a genial soil,
where they took deep root, and brought
flowers thnt never faded.
His father's death was indelibly impressed
upon -his memory; yet he was his father,
and when ho thought of it, he pitied, instead
of reproached, the memory of one who had
gone to give an account to a righteous judge
of the talents entrusted to his charge.
After the estate was settler), Mrs. Clark
found that they wcreneariy penniless, and
tii.t ? ?' ? ?
...... ...v.. uimvM iaui11wii.i wvum i>o reqiiircu
to keep them from actual want. Waiter
immediately left the fchjol, where he was a
bright ornament, and nought employment
whereby he might assist bit motlier, wliose
delicate health forbade much exertion.
lie was not long in securing a place as
errand boy in a large store, at a small salary.
Here ho commenced to earn his own
livelihood at the age of twelve. His employer
was not long in detecting his sterling
qualities, that rendeied him in a short time
almost invaluable in the store; he was more
than usually industrious and honest in every
sense of the woid. If his mother had cause
to lament his father's failings, she had cause
to thank God that her son had iuheiited his
goodness without his bad qualities, and that
he would become an honorable, useful in??m
willi Leo Coylu his nephew, he being the
nearest relative ho knew of, and the only son
of a favorite sister.
When the proposition was made to Walter,
ho hardly knew what to say, and asked
a short time to consider the (natter. He at
once asked the advice of his employer, who
urged hint to accept the proposition, which
he did, and was soon installed in his new
I home, surrounded by all the advantages
that unlimited wealth could bring, and was
as happy as could bo after such a loss as he
had been called upon to hear.
Leo Coyle was two years Walter's senior;
he had been with his uncle from early infanoy,
and no pains nor expense had been
; spared to educate liiui in the best manner
as well as he could take education, as his,
i uncle soon found his capacity was very iitnb
ted, and consoled himself that if he did not
make a brilliant man, he would, at least, be
au honest, upright one. In this lie was
| again disappointed, for Leo was deceitful and
cunning.
Of Walter lie beeame very jealous, and
looked upon him as an interloper who would
infringe upon his rights. Being exceedingly
foud of money, any ooe who touched his
foekettoncbod him. He was not of (bat
ber of society.
Waiter, although deprived of his school,
nevertheless kept up his studies every spare
moment he had; and at the age of sixteen
was equal, if not ahead, of many whose
whole time had been devoted to study.
About this time he was called upon to
part with his mother, the guardian angel of
his infancy and youth. It was a hard trial
for the poor orphan boy. There is none
like a mother; no voice like a mother's; no
heart like, a mother's. None but those who
have been culled upon to sustain such a loss
can appreciate Wnllor's feelings when he
stood over the cold, rigid form of clay, and
knew hcnci forth he was motherless, henceforth
he must tread the path of life alone
through all its devious wiudings, its ups and
downs, its highways and byeways ; tbere
would be no kind voice with gentle admoni
tions to warn him when dangers press round;
no hand to lead l<im out of the crooked
ways back to the straight and narrow path.
lie gazed long and earnestly, kissed the
tnnrhlo brow, and clasped tbe pulseless hand,
yet ho could not fully realize she was got c
forever and ever, lie waited for the still,
cold lips to speak to him as of yore, but in
vain. The icy messenger, death, had accomplished
its mission, and borne one more
spirit to the right hand of lliin wl?o lit 11
said, 'Come unto me all ye that labor and j
are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest. j

Lis mother's new-made grave, through the
narrow palings that unclosed the city of si
leuoe, into the broad road of life, where the
hurrying to and fro of pedestrians, the rumbling
of vehicles, the distant clime of bells,
the fall of the hammer, and the grating
sound of hand organs, accompanied by shrill
voices, were each trying to outdo one another.
All failed to arrest his attention,
lie hurried to his lonely home, where in
solitude ami silence he passed the first even
ingand night after his mother's burial.
The next morning, having girded on his
armor and wrapped his great sorrow deep
iu his heart from the prying gaze of the
iittilti tudc, ho once more euteied upon his
duties at the store, where he had become essential,
and was regarded with more than
ordinary interest hp the proptietors.
Among the many that Walter had met
iu the course of business, was one Mr. Stanford,
nn elderly gentleman, and a bachelor,
who, having iu frequent business transactions
become thoroughly acquainted with his character,
formed a deep attachment for him,
and after his mothers death ottered to adopt
him as liia own son : and mako him co-heir
generous nature which could take to his
heart one who would divide with him 'he
fortune he hud been led to consider hia own,
and any one who came between him and
the dearest object of his life, wiu regarded
with an evil eye.
Walter endeavored to do nil that wn?.
right toward hi# benefactor and hia nephew
Leo apurned all attempt# at friendship, and
did all in hia power to bring disgrace npott
Walter, and thus get him out of the way,
'Hie veil wns too Hiinay. Ilia uuelo snw
plainly the drift of hia lie]>hew'# conduct,
which gave him conaidernhle displeasure.
When Air. Stanford took Loo Covle from
(lie bund# of a dying sister, and promised to
do a good part by liitn, he uttered no idle,
word# or false uroinisea. Ilia heart vearned
t'linue the ono who de-<nvr* punishment,
shall haw it. Loo litis b<en bionght tip
with the id on that he was to he my sole heir,
ami until I took you to mv home and heart
I never knew to what nr. extent his villiany
coiihi Ik? cnriinl; he is incapable to fill the
place in iny a flections which tou do, only
when he feared part of his expected pain
was to he transferred to you, did I see him
in his true light. Disappointed in every
hope I had of him, I transfer all that would
have hern his to toil, who have piov
ed yourself worthy of all, and more than is
in mv |*>wcr to hestow
Walter lot ed his hetiefactor. and f?-lt exceeding
grateful for the kind home ho had
given him, hut this generosity overcome him
and he sobhed aloud, not that lie would
henceforth be rich, hut that in the midst of
a cold, linrsli world, in an hour when he
most needed a fiiend ho found one who
would never forsake him, ho determined to
share with Leo whatever Mr. Stanford left
him, as he could not feel hnppv in enjoying
what ho knew by right of law and ties of
blood, belonged to another.
Persisting in this resolution. Mr. Stanford
informed his nephew of his decision; had a
netr will draw n in Walter'* favor, signed and
sealed it, giving one copy to Walter, retaining
the other himself.
No sooner did I^eo learn this unwelcome
fact than lie turned all his talents ofinveution
to woik, hoping ho might destroy I:uncle's
good opinion of Walter, and thus
win back for himself his esteem, and what
was of more value, his fortune.
To accomplish this object, he enlisted *cvoral
in his cause, who, from the hope of large
rewaicK promised to do anything. Leo's
first step was to hid his undo farewell, and
start for the great El L>orado, who*? shining
ore lay deeply imbedded in the rich soil,
waiting only for willing hands to bring it
forth, and for this ho gave his uncle reason
for going, giving him to understand 'hat ho
was determined now to become an honored
and useful member of society. He left n.person,
but tiis will remained behind will)
those who, for paltry gold, was willing to
sacrifice truth and honor.
A few months flow unnoticed by. Walter
lived happily, enjoying Mr. Stanford's
confidence, and fitting himself, by hard stu
dy, for a profession. By many nienoeuver.\
those who were to aid Loo, ingratiated themselves
in the good graces of Mr. Stanford,
and, by ontoMing his present conduct, and
relating honorable actions of which they
toward the lonely orphan, whose every lineament
reminded him of the idolized sister
whose kind voice would chccr Ids lonely
hours no more.
Having no female in his bachelor home,
after she was gone to whom he coi 11 confide
his sacred charge, he undertook the task
himself, and a hard one he found it. L?>o
had inherited his mother's looks with his
father's faults. By every means M*\ Stanford
endeavored tocorieel them ere they had
become a part and portion of himself. Growing
with his growth,and strengthening with
his strength, year* passed on, and Mr. Stanford's
eyes were opened to the fact that Leo
could never repay him for all his kindness,
and it was this that led him to think of
Walter.
Leo's repeated acts of meanness?hut one
degn-e removed from villiany?so refused
his uncle's sensibilities, that be resolved to revoke
tbo will, making his nephew co heir
with Walter, ami, except a tiitling legacy,
gave it all to Walter, who merited all the
kindness that was bestowed ii|h>ii him.
When Waller was apprized of Mr. Stanford's
intention, he used every argunu nt to
dissuade hiin from his purpose. Jtltd enconri

the secret drawer of Mr. Stanford'."* secret airy,'
where it was to remain until Mr. Stanford'*'
.death. The place of concealment was un-! '
known to Loo, therefore lie supposed tliat ! 1
the will was with all the other pnjK>rs of'
his- uncle. He had come to the conclu*ioti
that half a loaf was better than none, and
ono would have thought his lefotui was in
earnest; he professed great friendship for
Walter, and his uncle rejoiced at the happy
turn aftaiis had taken.
Walter was now twentv-three years of
age. Nor had he reached that gloiiou* j
time heart whole S When yet a boy his
kindest feelings were Mined by the soft j
tunes and sweet words of sympathy of Mary I
Gordon, the little fair-haired daughter of \
his first employer. Then he w as an errand ;
tay?far below in the scale of society the I
blue-eyed daughter of the rich meichnnt; j
yet, knowing this, hu let hU feelings become
so wrapt up in her that he could think of I
j her in no other light than an angel sent to !
blewi and cheer him ! In spile of the great j
I dispniity tat ween tlieni, there w ould ever be '
a whisper in hisheait that he vet would win

Walter'* name to it, where in lie stated that
after consulting his friends aUnit his marry- c
ing, they had advised him to look higher ,
than a broken merchant's daughter, and as
he we? now rich, he had coine, after due j
deliberation, to the same conclusion, and v
would seek one in his sphere, and thought h
it would be well for Mary to do like- n
wise, ending, by way of postscript, that if f,
they needed help at any time he would be
happy to aasist them. This cruel letter surprised
the Gordons very much ; they had v
formed high opinions of Walter, and looked 11
forward to the day when Mary and he should ti
become man and wife. Now all their ho)K* b
were overthrown, and thoir confidence in I;
mau shattered, after being deceived by one t
upon whom they had looked as the very es- li
senco of all that was high-minded and good. t<
An answer caine. such a* the letter c.-dlnd li
' equal to her in the social world, nnd with a j '
name worthy of the proudest iu the land ! S
During the lime Walter was in her fatli- 1?
! ei's store, Mary saw him often, mid always j '
| returned home with some memento of hisi*
. friendship?a bunc h of flowers, a little book, 11
a large orange he had bought with hissj>cnd- j 0
| ing money, or some such tiifle, that drew |
J the poor orphan ne wer to her heart each day. I v
;|Thti.*n friendship began tliat ripened in- "
| flo lovo,each wearing their secrets in thei. | ^
I ow n hearts. For Walter dare not tell his j ^
love, for fear that he might he considered j h
top presumptuous ; and then they wcie botli j 0
too young. J'rudence whimpered him to
j wait until he had gained the years of discre-1 v
I lion, when, perhaps, he would he in a more i c
favorable situation to press his suit ; and lie j "
j followed her wise dictates, little thinking > v
j when that pctiod arrived that he would have
! gained the summit of wealth, while her star 0
I.ad declined in the gloom of poverty,
j Did he love her less when she became "
i poor f No; dearer ai.d nearer she seemed : r
j to him, and if wealth ever had any inipor 1
| tance in bis eyes, it was doubly so now, j "
! when he could use it to restore Mary to thei
i position she once occupied, and was so titled j v
j to adorn. I
lie had \ isited her frequently since he had | ^
been with Mr. Stan fold, yet forbore to do-1*
elare his passion and ask a return until lie I
had finished studying, nnd had adopted his!(
I profession, wheiobv lie could earn, indepen

; port for loth. Thin alone deterred liiin from ^ '
| acknowledging his love. In oneof his many J p
j visits, Leo pievailed ii|hhi Walter to intro j c
! duet! him to Mary. This request was ac- i
I qiiicsced in with some reluctance by Walter, j '
j ha ho very much doubted the sincerity of ihe '
I friendship professed for him bv Leo, yet to J
' save any ill feelings he took him to Mur\'s
; now humble home. As inay be expected, j ^
i licr innocent beauty made an impression up i u
I on Leo, and lie became envious of Waller.'0
| lie knew very well it would be useless to try i '
' to cut Walter out, so he thought, as he could '
I not wear the gem, Walter should not either. 11
I Accordingly, he I ecarne possessed of some 11
of Walter's writing, and so accurately did s
he imitate it that one conhl not he told from '
the other; then quietly waited for an oppor- 1
tunity to put his designs in execution. "
Chnnce favoied him sooner than he expec- j M
ted. Tho very next week Walter was taken i v
sick, and was cotiHucd to his bed, where the j 1
physician said he must stay for some days, j c
Not wishing his friends to think him neglect ;
fill, he wrote them n note stating his illness, ''
| and requesting Mr. Gordon to call and ace J r
him. This note fell into the hands of the j
wily villain, who opened and read it, and i
then committed it to the Haines, sulmtiloting j n
another of his own composition, signing! j
of. Tlii* 1-co intercepted, as also all notes
hut Walter sent his friends ;thus were Loth
leceived.
After he had recovered sufficiently to go
>ut, the first place he visited wn? his old
lietid's, who icceived hiiri so coldly, that he
lid not know what to make of it. They
iere too well bred to insult a visitor in their |
iwn house, and too spirited to recur to the I
[ Iter they received. In vain Walter tried '
n di.-cover the cause. Mary was not there;
he had gone to visit some fiieuds out in the j
ountry.
Deeply wounded at tlie unkind treatment j
ic had received, lie left the house in no en-j
mble state of mind, revolving in his own)
ninds his actions, hoping that he might
liscover something hy which he could gain
cine to the strange proceedings. By letter
le sought an cxplanath n from Mary, but
cceivtd no answer ; unable to hear suspense j
nnger, he sought an interview w ith her and |
cat tied the peifidy of his profe>s?d fiiond
.10. Forbt tiling to bring liim into dis-]
[race with his uncle again, lie lemained si-,
cut on the subject. Maty 1 etui nod home'
vith him, and, after a mutual explanation, ,
A'aller and Mary were betrothed .theii mar- !
inge to be consummated as soon as Waller :
nnl received bis diploma, which would give
tint lieense to piactice his piofession as phy- [
ician.
Just as their happiness was to he con j
nmmatcd, a sad misfortune befel Walter, in .
he death of his benefactor, Mr. Stanfotd, |
\ho died very suddenly. Scarce had the j
ireath left the body when Leo, as heir at
aw, took possession of all, and gave Walter .
o understand that he was master.
This was qui te unexpected hy Waller, as I
Hit It had rend the last will, making one as I
nuch right there as the other. Failing to
;ain satisfaction from Leo, Walter called up .
n the lawyer who had drawn up the will,
here he found Leo in deep distress, who j
upprcssed the hatred he felt for Walter, that i
t might not interfere w ith a due exhibition j
>f grief.
The lawyer acknowledged drawing up the j
rill, but as it could not le found among j
Jr. Stanford's papers, supposed he repented I
laving mado it, and consigned it to the
lames, and that Leo was sole possessor, hy
i\v lip Iwinrr tlx* n?>iipn?t ri'lnllvo
' ' , v;"5 ,,,w f
d had living.
Waller felt Mire tlint Leo had obtnined the i
i lll mid had destioyed il. Without furllier |
onunent, Walter informed them that as that
?ne could not be found, he bud one at homo
vhicli would stand good.
This completely overcame Leo, and he at
nee doubted its authenticity.
Walter asserted that nothing could in\aldate
it but the discovery of the one of mote
ccent date. Leaving Leo to his unpleasant j
houghls, Walter went to produeo tho will
lade leaving him all unconditionally.
The truth was, that Leo, finding the last I
vill, and being loo selfish to share with j
iValter, committed the evidence to the flames, j
snowing that no parchment was needed to]
aihstantiate his claim, lie imagined that
he one Walter had was but a counterpart!
>f the one he destroyed, and thought ilia' if i
le made nothing he would lose nothing hv j
he operation, lie little dreamed of tliedif j
erence in the wills, and when Walter pre-1
ented it, in a moment of forgctfulness lie ex- j
dainied?
'Mv uncle signed a will after that, in which j
ic pave mo halt'.'
'And wliicli, in your greediness to get all,
oil destroyed, so that this one stands good.' j
Leo saw the great error ho had committed.
n liying to bring trouble on another, it fell j
ipoll hw own head. His greatest mortili-1
ation was to see hi-> lival possessed of what j
le had been scheming after for years, ami
iad not Walter kept that will, Leo would
tot have enjoyed Iiim ill-got ton gain. The
lews uf Stanford's death brought from ob-1
entity a brother long estranged, who would j
lave claimed the estate, and to him, after!
ho debts were paid, did Walter relinquish
i great portion of the property. To Leo be'
:hvi? an annuity sufficient to keep him from
rant, but not in affluence. Having nothing 1
n gain by stating, lie left tliat part of the |
ountry to seek bis fortune* elsewhere.
Walter and Mary were married, and lived

enco lo integrity and virtue*

court, so did the (> rand Duke of Nicholas,
nhout the year 1810, eoine to Berlin to see
if one of the Prussian princesses would suit
him, and the Piinecss Chailofte was given
to understand by lior parents that if lie
should take a fancy to her, they would have
no objection to her returning the penchant.
'Vhc time oiiginally fixed for the expiration
of the Ginnd Duke's stay had come,
and lie was seated at supper on his last eveiling,
next to the Princess Charlotte when
ho abruptly told her tkat he must leave
Berlin the next day. lie hoped to surprise her

l>ut her maidenly pride nit).held her
from making more than come very say noth
ing remarks in acknowledgment. The Grand
Duke thereupon s3on assumed another plan
of operations ; knowing that batterer Iittln
the eyea of the company might bo actually
fixed on him and hi.s fair noighlror, they
wore, nevertheless, the object of general observation,
be eomineiiced telling her, but in
an apparently unembarrassed manner, an<l
playing with a ring of his the while, that he
liad devoted himself during his short stay
there to making himself acquainted with her
character and disposition, <kc., and that ho
had found in her every quality that he believed
best calculated to make him happy in
wedded life, A*c.; but, us they two were at
that moment the object of scrutiny to ninny
present, he would not press her for any reply
to his overtures, but if it w as agreeable
to her that he should prolong his stay at her
father's court she would, perhaps, have the
goodness to take up the ting he had in his
hand. This ling be then, apparently while
playing with the two objects, thrust into the
roll of bread l \ing on the table before him,
and went on, seemingly in all sang froid,
w ith his sapper. With an equal appearance
of unconcern the princes* presently put out
her hand, and took up the roll, as if mistaking
it for her own bread, and, unnoticed by
the company, withdrew the ring, and put it
on her own hand. The rest requires no narration.?
