THE CONTRAEY MAH.
lief that, in purehasing articles belong¬ ing exolnsively ¦ to her own attire, she cotild la; oat the mone; to a better ad¬ vantage than he. This waa enongh:— Ever afterwards, at a serious inoonveni- enoeind loss of time, he insisted upon piitohasing everything for her, from a
I shawl down to a skein of cotton. He was, as he frequently asserted, "a mar¬ tyr to her incompetency ;" spending whole days in penetrating into the mys teries of dry goods and millinery, and bripging home "such bargains" in the shape of dingy silks and ribbons, and prints and delaines, of such outre pat¬ tern tbat his wife trembled whenever she saw bim coming home with a bun¬ dle under his arm, for he rarely would entrust his precious commodities to the care of aiiotber.
Mrs. Coldstream bore this very pa¬ tiently, until, one day, he sent homo a bonnet of light blue, aud profusely orna¬ mented with flowers of the same deli¬ cate hue. She was a dark brunette, and taking it from the bandbox, she held it at arm's length, and surveyed it with an air of consternation.
How could you select suoh a color as this, my dear ?" she said to her hus¬ band who atood by, regarding it with ev¬ ident complacency. "I can never wear itiu lhe world; r look like a fright in blue."
Nothing more wa-i needed. Krom that time henceforth that waa the color with Mr. Coldsteam. In all its shades, from the darkest indigo to the lightest azure, it was the principal color of bis wife's wardrobe; meeting her overy remon¬ strance with assertion:
"A beautiful color, Mrs. C, and so be¬ coming to your complexion !" Jlr. Cold¬ stream   had   two  children, a son   and a
I daughter, wbo wcre brought up  on the
', agreeable principle of giving them ev¬ erything they didn't want and oontiuual-
1 ly crossing their inclinations. The nat¬ ural result of this wa.s that the son left home at the first opportunity, and the daughter determined to do so, as soon as she could obtain that indispensable ar tide to enable her to do so with proprie¬ ty, namely, a husband. As ahe was pretty and sensible, ana had more than J
j the usual share of feminine tact, her pros¬ pects in this respect were vary encour¬ aging.
" My dear Patty,'" said her mother to ber one day, it won't du fur you to en¬ courage Charley Reed's coming here any more; your father has a strong prejudice against him."
Now Patty owed her euphonious name to the faot that it was among the few that Mrs. Coldstream di.%liked; a dislike that was shared by the young lady herseff, who at one time made an effort to ehange to Martha. An attempt that was instantly vetoed I y her father, who declared " that Patty was her name and  Patty it should
! be." A fact that he lost no opportunity of impressing upon her mind whenever
j he saw her in the least inclined to rebel against his authority.
" So he would bave agaiust any one that anybody else liked," was Patty's rather unfilial rejoinder. " It is only be¬ cause he thinks I am partial to him.— But I've made up my mind to one thing, I won't give up Charley !"
And Patty's eyes grew bright, and ahe set her foot down in a very decided man¬ ner.
" But my dear, what ttiill .you do V said Mrs. Coldstream, looking very muoh distressed. " Your father declares he shall not come into tbe house again.— And you know, as well as I do, how set he is in his way."
" I know he always contrive? to be on the contrary side, whatever happens.— You needn't look bo troubled, mother. 11 won't havo any trouble with father, if I can help it, ifit is only.for your sako.— But I'll manage to have my own way for once in my life, as you shall see."
Patty smiled as she said this, and though her mother shook her head dubi¬ ously, as if she had little faith in the as¬ sertion, sbe offered co further remon¬ strance.
The next day they were all seated to¬ gether in the  family sitting-room.    Mr.
It was a matter of principle with Mr- Ooldstream to be always on the contra¬ ry side.    In this respect, he diffefcl from
the amiable  old  lady  immortalized  by ] ^''''^^«'^6»'°J^»» j° » "^er melancholy Dickens; for, whereas " everything went
contrary" with her, he went contrary mth everything.
Had he been born in England, and had fitness been all that was necessary, he would, doubtless, bave figured largely be¬ fore parliament as one ofthe " opposition; but being born in republican America, he was obliged to oonfine tbe exercise of his peculiar talent to a more limited sphere.
To find out what his  opinion   was  on
mood ; nothing having occurred for some time with which he could possibly find fault, or get up any contention.
Patty sat by the winciow, to all appear¬ ance completely absorbed in fashioning some daintybitof embroidery, though oc- oasionally her bright eyes gleamed out upon the path to the read, with an ex¬ pectant look.
Suddenly she heard a step. Eveu be¬ fore her eyes fell npon the yoting gentle-
any snbjeot yon had only to express your ""^ "^^° ^as J"-" opening the gate, the own, for he was sure to take the opposite 7^»™ «°1»'' Aaahed^up from the obe^eks to aide-    He was politically  a democrat—
that is, he always voted that ticket; but if we may credit his repeated declara¬ tions, he was opposed to every principle they advocated. He quarrelled, persist. ently, with all their leading men ; finding &nlt with all they did arid all tbey failed todo.
He had been a member of the ortho¬ dox church for a number of years; but why he ever joined it was a puzzle to most of the bretheren. For, according to his own language, he subscribed to none ofits articles of faith; strenuously opposing them whenever they were men¬ tioned with tbe slightest approval.
He carried this amiable apirit into  al] the relations of life.    He married bis wife ¦imply because her  frienda  opposed   it, and displayed, afterwartls,  a  wonderful ingenuity in finding out her opinions and and preferences, in order that he might contradict and thwart   them  until after the first few montbs,   she moved  about the house, to whose  well   ordering she devoted all her energies,  with   a  timid, deprecating air; as though ahe really beg¬ ged pardon for being there at all- She rarely ventured to  express  an o- pinion of her own j but when she did she was oat short by the original observation, "What do women Imow about such mat¬ ters ?" or, " my wardrobe  ia in stocking condition, Mrs C.     Not a decent collar, or above,* dozen shirts that I can  wear. Not  a  very   remarkable   oiroometanoe, however, when you loin occupy yourself with nutteiis entirely beyond your prov¬ ince aod oorapraiiensian."

the temples, probably with anger, for she imiuediately exclaimed :
" 1 declare! if that disagreeable Char¬ ley Reed ian't coming here again!"
" Hey, wbat'.s that ?" said Mr. Cold¬ stream, pricking up his eara, as though like tbe war-horse, he scented the bat¬ tle afar off-
" Charley Reed," returned Patty, very composedly threading her needle. " I really wish he had sense enough to know where he wasn't wanted ! I suppose be¬ cause I've talked with him considerabiy lately, just to pass away the time, he fan¬ cies I'm in love with him I"
Here the young lady gave her head a to5s, as muoh as to say, whatever lie might think, ii/ie hadn 't the least idea of it •' You'd show your sense if you was, then," retorted her father, "instead of encouraging such a aet of silly, brainless popinjays, and which I am determined you ahall do no longer! Mr. Reed is a very promising young man, as I've often had occasion to remark, and his prefer¬ ence is an honor to any lady."
Mr. Coldstream was blest with a very convenient memory, and his daughter's language had aroused suoh a strong apirit of opposition that he actually believed that he had always regarded the young man with tmasual favor.
" Well, those who like his company are welcome to it. I'm going up stairs," said Patty.
And rising fiom her se^, abe began to pick up her work; in a very cool, delib¬ erate miiiner,
" Yon'U "do no saoh thing, Mia Brttyj" gaid Mr. °GoldUti^^,'u''S<xiD u ;<|onld, tvponrifewt-itis ;'*8tanishaM^;il^ no)-
pretiedented audacity of her words aod manner. "Jusl resume your seat, if you please. And see, too, that you treat the young gentleman in a proper manner !"
Patty flirted down into her seat, mut¬ tering, to whioh her father oould not re¬ ply, as juat at thia moment the person iu qaestion ehtered-
The young gentleman, though uoted for his ease and self-possession, wa.s evi¬ dently embarrassed by his reception. The unexpected cordiality of the old gentle¬ man, wbo, the last time he was there, had treated him with marked rudeness, and the as unaccountable eoolnes^i of 'his daugbter, puzzled him.
Patty sat with her back turned partial¬ ly toward him, her eyea bent steadily up¬ on her work, without giving the slightest sign of recognition.
Mr. Coldstream darted a displeased glance at his daughter; regarding this as a tacit rebellion against his authority.
" Patty," he said, clearing his throat, and speaking in a low voice, "don't you see our young neighbor, Mr. Reed ?"
Patty arose stifly from her seat, exten- (iing, with a very ungracious air, her two fore-fingers to the young man.
As she did so, she glanced around.— Her mother's astonished expression, her father's pompous air, and Charley's rue. ful look were too much for her'risibilities and unable to conceal her inclination to laugh, she precipitately left the room, overturning her work-box as aho went, aud scattering the contents at the feet of her astonished lover, who had risen from his seat, and who began seriously to fear that the young lady had taken leave of her senses- It was some time before Mr. Cold¬ stream's astonishment and anger would allow him to apeak.
•' Very rude and improper conduct," he said, at last. " If this is the.way that you are bringing up our daughter, Mrs. C , it is high time that sha was taken out of your hands-"
The reader will rapidly conclude that, under the circumstances, Mr- Reed did not care to prolong his stay.
When he arose to leave, Mr- Coldstream ;nvited him to come again in a tone and manner that would have been very grati¬ fying to him, had il not been for the fears thathe began to eutertain that he had not obtained that strong hold upon the heart that he wasso desirous of win¬ ning, as he had supposed.
In the meantime Patty bad run out the back way, down through the orchard, to the garden gate, which she knew he would pass, and stood waiting for bim. Charley's countenance brightened as he caught a glimpse of her smiling face. What she said aeemed to be very satisfac¬ tory ; so much so that, at its conclusion, he caught her in bis arms, kissing repeat¬ edly her cheeks and lipa. And though Patty blushed, and said, " For shame, Charley !" sbe did not look in the least angry, nor did she make the slightest re¬ sistance.
Charley did not fail to respond to Mr. Coldstream's invitation, spending ut his house.'at least two evening? in every week; taking very philosophically the various exhibitions of suUenness and ill tamper with which Patty rewarded his perseve¬ rence ; seeming on the wbole rather to enjoy them than otherwise. This quite delighted Mr! Coldstream, who declared him to be " vastly superior to the com¬ mon run of young men ; just the husband for Patty, inasmuch aa he would have a mind of his own, and not giv*» way to all her whims aud caprices."
Patty immediately begau to extol tho graces and accomplishments of tbe ele¬ gant Alpbonse Fitzpcodle; following it up. by lavishing upon him, when he next called, her sweetest smiles. This had the effect of elevating the young coxcomb tn the seventh heaven of felicity, but from which he was brought rudely down by Mr. Coldstream's coolly informing him " tbat hia company was not desirable, and tbat, farthormore, be needn't trouble him¬ aelf to call again upon hia daughter," much to the satisfaction of the latter, to whom Fitzpoodle waa an insufferable bore. Encouraged by Mr. Coldstream's words and manner, and not at all discouraged by Patty's coolness, Charley made a for¬ mal proposal to the former for the hand of his danghter. Aa he was careful to insinuate that Patty's manner toward him was not calculated to inspire him with muoh hope, Mr. Coldstream immodiately gave bis unqualified approval.
" Nevor mind Patty," he addod; "leave her with me. Sho will oome round, in time, if .she sees there's no help for it.— And if you carry a steady hand with her, not giving her too much of her own way, ahe will make you as good a wife as you can find-"
ilr- Ccldstream smiled grimly to him¬ self, as he said thia. And certainly, Rarey never felt more satisfaction at an opportunity of subduing some vicious horse, than did this amiable individual at the thought of bringing to terms his re- factory daughter.
At tho first opportunity, he informed Patty of what he was pleased to term " her undeserved good fortune."
As he expected, she stoutly rebelled; and as sht expected, he as stoutly insisted. A stormy scene followed ; and it was not uutil Mr. Coldstream gave her tbe alter¬ native of marrying Jlr. Reed, or leaving his house, that Patty yielded, and then it was with a very ill graeu.
" 1 won't be married I'or aix mouths, at any rate!" she said.
" You'll be married thia day fortnight' I don't approve of long engagements, aa I've often told you," was the anticipated rejoinder.
" Theu it shall be done very quietly; as in that case, I shail need no farther outfit and shall escape the annoyance and fatigue of shopping."
" You need not trouble yourself to give any further directions," returned Mr. Coldstream, with a lofty air. I am quite competent to decide these points. You will be married in a manner suitable to your station, and in the presence ofyour friends and acquaintances, and not slyly, aa thongh you were aahamed ofthe hus. band I have seleoted foryou."
Then taking a roll of bills from his pocket-book, he handed it to his wife say¬ ing:
" It ia my Irish that yon BM th«t Patty
hv MTuytUng, in th* wsy of olotiuDg,
I tbat is fitting my daughifc ihonld har*.
And if thataam is notsuffioient you can call on me for more."
It was Patty's wish to get at onoe to housekeeping. Though surrounded by every nominal oomfort, she had never en¬ joyed the peace and &eedom inseperable from a truly happy home, and whioh she now hoped to realize to herself- But she knew that Chariey was not able to buy a house, neither would his moderate salary admit of his renting such a one as ahe wished. But she was aware that her lather was the owner of several tenements, and had beeu hopiug, all along, that he would offer to give them one, which he could well afford to do. She kuew his peculiar disposition too well, however, to let him know that she had any expectii- tion, or even wish.
One day, as she waa conversing with one of her yong friends, she remarked, in A very confident tone :
" We shall board, as a matter of coarse. I don't intend to tie myaelf down to house¬ keeping yet awhile, I promise yon!"
Her father heard thia, as she meant he should.
" Don't be too sure of that, Patty. I don't approve of a young couple boarding out, as I've often said before.- It gets them into bad habits—the wife especial¬ ly—making her shiftless and extravagant, which you are too much inclined to be already. It is, of course, my intention to settle something upon you the day of your marriage, and it shall be a house."
" Charley won't be able to furnish it, so we shall have to board for awhile at any rate."
" vn take care of Mof. I rather think I'm able to furnish a honse, as wellas my neighbors. So don't flatter yourself you'll get off on that score."
•Just then Charley entered tho room, to whom Mr. Coldstream immediately made known his intentions, asking him if he had any choice.
" I will leave'that to you and Patty," he said, looking very muoh gratified; for it was something whioh he hardly ex¬ pected.
" Well, Patty, what do you say ?" Now if Patty had not known her father so well she might bave thought he was really desirous of ascertaining her wishes in order that ho might gratify them; biit as it was she was too wary to be' caught in such a trap.
"If I mnst go to housekeeping," she said, pettishly, "I don't eire much where ! Only don't let it be that dull, lonely place on Pleasant street."
" The very one that's the most suitable, as any one,'with the least particle of sense would see. It is very convenient, in per¬ fect repair, beside having a nice garden attached to it."
And taking his hat he invited Charley to walk over and examine it.
" Tbe very one I wanted !" exclaimed Patty, gleefully, aa the door closed after them.
But there waa aomething iu her moth¬ er's eyes that instantly sobered her.
" I know what you are thinking of," she said in a low voice. " And,I'm half ashamed, tt.yaelf, at acting suoh a de- deceitful part! But what can I do 1— Yon know very well how everything would be ifl ahould speak and act as I feel, and that there is no other way of getting a- long with father."
Mrs. Coldstream could not deny thia. " I am not blaming you, my dear," she said, geutly. "But this peculiarity in your father ia calculated to cultivate, in those living with him, aspirit of arfulness and deception, unless the disposition is naturally truthful and sincere, as I trust yours ia. I hope, in your new homo, you can i.ct yourself, aud will not then try to be anything elae."
" I know one thing," exclaimed Patty, energetically, after a long and thoughtful silence, " that if I thonght Charley would ever havo to be mauaged m, dearly as I love him, I would sooner die than place it in his power to mako mc so completely wretched !"
It waa not until Patty stood beside him whom her heart had so freely chosen to be mado bis in the presence of God and man, that she dared to lot her eyes shad¬ ow forth the blissful and happy emotions that filled her bosom.
The change was so sudden and com¬ plete that her father noticed it.
" Ah ! she is making the best ofit, as I knew she would," ho aaid to his wife, in a tone of triumph. " See what it ia to have firmness and judgment I If she oould have had her own way she would have married that contemptible coxcomb, Fitzpoodle, instead of being the wife of an honest, sensible man."
Aa the time moved on, not only prov¬ ing the worth of the heart she had 'won, but binding it to her own by yet dearer ties, Patty felt tbat earth did not contain a happier home than hers.
Her father, however, took the whole credit of it to himself, deolariog she owed her happiness entirely to him ; and often asking her, if she didn't remember bow determinedly bent she was on rejecting Charley, and throwing herself away upon the most worthless man in town .'
Patty never attempted to disprove tbeae aasertions, though sbe sometimes remarked, with a roguish smile, tbat she waa not the only person who ," went by contraries."

There was onoe a boy who waa a shoe¬ maker's apprentice. I need not tell a- ny one who ever knew him that he waa idle, for the whole town where he lived waa aware of the faot. But he would not have people think that he was lazy, and whenever he heard any one coming up on the step ofthe shop door he would work away aa if his very life was at stake. He pulled the waxed ends aud cut the soles into good shape more in¬ dustriously than any one else in the whole shop. But juat as soon as the visitor or customer had gone out he would slacken off and be as lazy as ever.
And this fanlt of his, trying to appear industrious and active before the world extended to all his actions. He wanted everybody to have a good opinion of him, whether he deserved it or not. I will now show yon one act, which illustrates bis character, aud the sequel will decide whether or not he succeeded by bia habit of daoeiving people. One day while he was eating an apple he deterniined that he would do aomething to make him¬ self popular and houored. He did not care what it would be. If he oould get the applause and honor of men it was e. nough. Ho put his half-eaten apple down on his bench, and as it was very warm weather there were many flies a- bout that were ready to take a good lunch wherever they oould find it, So the flies thought they had a grand oppor¬ tunity for something to eat when they aaw that apple lying down before them. One oame from the window, two or three from the wall, several from the floor, and others from other parts of the room. They met at the apple and crawled about on it. When they got a good plaee they went to eating.
" Now is my chance!" said Wilmer to himself.     So he picked up a piece of leather and struck the apple, and killed aeven flies.    There they lay, kicking and dying- Seven flies at one  stroke 'i    What a great feat he had accomplished!   So he thought to himself that if he were to turn tbis  thing into a fortunate  direction be would get a great deal of npplause from the world.    And as his timo of appren ticeship  would soon be finished, he re¬ solved that when he was free he would start out on the highway to honor.    He thought now of nothing else but how he could make a fortune or get a great repu¬ tation just by killing seveu poor little in¬ nocent flies.    Hia  shopmates  bad  seen him kill the flies, but they did not dream that he was going to try to make a living out of sucb an  action as  tbat.    But he kept his secret to himself    He was very shrewd in saying nothing about his place. Now I will tell you what he did wheu he had served out his tirao as apprentice. He hada very nice suit of military clothes made at the tailor's, and on bis beautiful blue  cloth cap he had these  gilt letters placed : " Seven killed at one stroke !' He  spent nearly all his money on   thia suit of clothes, and when he started out ftom his native town he had to lodge in the lowest houses, and live on the com¬ monest faro, in order to get along at all. Finally ho reached the  city where   tbe king lived, and by thia time he had not one   cent of money left.    Ho wandered through the streets and waa astonished at the  beautiful shops  and great build¬ ings that he saw.    But he had no place to sleep that night, and this was a aore trial.    So he wished himself bome again, seated on Iiis ahoc bench, earning a liv¬ ing  in a plain honest way.    Finally he came to the great iron gate tbat opened into the king's garden, in the middle of whioh was the palace.    There were two soldio'B at the gate keeping guard.    He asked them if be could be admitted, but they  would not give him permission.— They  wondered at him,  for when thoy saw what was written  on  his cap  tbey thought hira a great man.    But they had to obey orders, and could not let him in. He was very tired, and as he oould not pass by  the guards through the gate he lay down along side the high wall and fell aaleep.   The soldiers were  greatly sur¬ prised to see a man so splendidly dressed without money enough to pay his lodging, and they whispered to  each other about him.    By-and-by his cap fell off, for he was fast aaleep.    One went to bim and picked it up, and then they  both exam¬ ined it with the greateat care.    They had different opinions about him.   But they could not learn anything from any passer¬ by, aud at last they concluded to take the cap to the palace and send it to the king to aee what he would think of it-   Per¬ haps this man was the king's brother; or he might be a young general whose fame was all  through the  land.    Watever he was he might be of some intereat to the king.
AVhile oue of the soldiers stood guard at the gate the other took the hat to the palace. Soon it was in the king's handa. He could not tell what to think of it.— Seven killed at one stroke! He read it over and over again, and the queen and princes all wondered what it could meau. Finally tho king thought he might be a brave yonng officer, who had been in one of tbe late battles, and really killed seven enemies at one stroke of the sword. So he gave command to have him brought to the palace. After a while Wilmer was roused up by an escort of soldiera and in¬ formed that the king wiahed to see him. " Where is my cap ?" he asked, as he looked around for it. " Never mind your cap," aaid they, " the king has it, and you will certainly get it again."
Then Wihner thought about what he shoald aay when he was introduced into the king's preaenoe. He summoned cour¬ age and resolved that he wonld carry out his plan of getting a reputation.
"Are yon th* owner of thii.oap ?" in- ^uir^th. Ung, ia dt* prtm** of hi, jfiettily. ^ i
" I am, your highness,"iiwa8 the reply, " and I feel honored in having you speak to the most unworthy ofyour subjects."
" Will you tell me, then, what is the meaning of the words that I find upon it ?" There was now a great conflict in the youug man'a mind. He had been taught never to tell a story, and he waa not nat¬ urally addicted to suoh a sinful habit.-^ ¦But if he told the king he had killed sev¬ en flies with a piece of leather, he would be thought crazy; then ha wouldbe dis¬ graced forever, and turned out of the pa¬ lace at once. Never had he been in such a difficulty before. He did not wish to tell a falsehood, but it seemed the best way to be successful in his case. He should have told the truth in spite of ev¬ erything that could be said against him; but his passion for honor in the world conquered his love of truth, and he re¬ aolved to deceive the king.
" You ask me why these words are on my cap. Without taking any glory to myself, I would inform you that when I was in one of the late battles in which your army was engaged, I was suddenly surrounded by seven of the enemy's sol¬ diers. I knew not what to do- I bad nothing but a sword in my possession ; but as I used it well on most occasiona, I thought it might serve me well on this. So I drew it, and with all my might I thrust it against my enemies. They all fell mortally wounded, and I escaped.— The deed waa aoou known to my com¬ pany and when the battie was over they voted the inscription to be put on my cap.    This is why you see it now."
" Strange, indeed.'" exclaimed the King. It is wonderfal that your brave¬ ry has not been reported to me." " What a brave young man he is!" said the queen. After further inquiry and much conver¬ sation the King admired his visitor very much, and gave orders that he be placed in one of tbe finest rooms of the palace for the night.
The friendship increased from day to day. The great men surrounding, the king became envious of the young man's prosperity. They resolved that they would leave tbe palace, for they firmly believed that this man was an impostor. The king wondered why he was not still fighting with the army, and be would have written to the commauding general but that he did not wish to trouble him. Moreover, he thought tbat the geueral would feel relinked if he ahould be re- minded of aueb au act of bravery by tho king bimself So the king thought he would make no inquiries about the mat¬ ter, but trust entirely to his own judg¬ ment.
Now let me tell you what he re-iolved to do in order to teat the bravery of Wil¬ mer. He knew that if he could prove from actual experiment that ho was bold and courageoua his great men would not be dissatisfied. They were two no¬ ted robbers in the king's forest, wbo had often waylaid travellers, and policemen and soldiers had often been sent after them to kill or capture them. So he proposed to his great men that the young soldier in the palace, whom they had | takeu such offence at, should go off at once and kill them or take them prison¬ ers. Wilmer undertook the task. He went tu a distant village and hired ten hunters to help him. When they were in the midst of the forest they found the robbera taking their dinner under a big oak tree. Wilmer was afraid of them, but as ho had bribed the hunters never to .lay a word about the matter, he waa not fearful that they would harm him. He went off' and stood behiud a tree, while his companions, by great bravery, took the robbers prisoners, though they had to wound them both beforo they did it. Then they put chains on their hands, aud led them out of the forest, gave them to Wilmer. Ho led them to tbe presence ofthe king, while tbe hunters went away to tbeir bomas.
Now to all appearance Wilmer captur¬ ed the robbers alone. So when he reach- ed«tbe palace with them be had them put in prison, while he reported his exploit to the king, saying that ho had doue it without any assistance. Thu^ you see it tafcai one fakehootl, and sometimes many, Id hide thefirst one. Soon his piaise was sounded all through the palace, and the great men confessed him a bravo man.— In honor of tbe achievement the king said that he thought it nothing but right that he ahould reward the act by making the young hero commander of the forcea in the royal oity. To tbis no objection was made by the courtiers and other lead¬ ing persons, because he had captured the robbers alone. Tbe appointment was made, and the next day the new com¬ mander was to'enter upon the discharge of his duties amid the thunder of cannon and pubfic feasting.
Now it really seemed as if Wilmer's deception was going to be permanently successful. But he was troubled at heart, and when ho lay down o\ his bed in the palace tbat night ho rolli|d about resclc:ia and feverish, thinking hi|W great his dia¬ grace would be if his fs)sehoods should be discovered. " But," said he to him¬ self, " to-morrow mornin|; I will reeeive very great honor. The whole oity will be out to see me take command, and my praise will be in every body's mouth." Alas for him, how vain n'^ere his expec¬ tations !
Wben he fell asleep he began to dream. Like some other people he sometimes talked in bis sleep, and jieople often tell the truth when they talk inder such cir- cumstanccfl, eveu though they do not know what they are doing. I will tell you what he said: " Seven at a stroke ! I killed seven flie.s on my apple with a piece of leather: I was a poor apprentice to a shoemaker, and now I am going to be a great man. Already the king haa given me a good deal of gold, and I will yet be honored very much. Seven little flies killed at one stroke, and see what I am gaining by it 1" He said muoh more than this, und as he spoko very loud the police that were keeping watch all night througb the palace halls, as their custom was, heard what he said. Tbeir command was always to report to tho king anything of importance that they heard or saw throngh the night. So when the early morning came all that Wilmer.sf oke waa reported to bim, for they were attraoted by tb* talking, and baving stood at- his door they war* abl* to lappH oometly. -
Wilmer awoke almost as tired as if he had not been asleep, for his dreams were trouble lome. However, he would soon be honored, so he dresaed up in aplendid clothes, expecting soon to be at tho head of the troops in the oity. All at once he heard a tap at his door : an order was given to appear at oncein the presence of the king, as an urgent matter was on hand. What oould it be ? His heart beat more rapidly, and he trembled at the thought of his deception being discovered.
"Young man," said tbe king, slowly aud deliberately, looking bim right in the. face, " I shall aak you oue question before you take command of my troops to-day; Did you tell me the truth wheu you came to my palace the first night I saw you ? Did you not aay you had kill¬ ed aeven soldiera at one stroke of your sword, and did you not know that you were deceiving me ? Did you uot kill seven flies with a piece of lealher when you were only a shoemaker's apprentice, and then try to deceive me ? Did you not say this in your aleep last night, and did you not further say that you wound¬ ed aud captured the two robbers, when you had hired ten hunters who did it for you ? Now look at me and aay that you have not deceived me."
It was more than Wilmer could atand. He blushed, and trembled from head to foot. He could not say one word at first; but at last acknowicdged his deception. But his manner was enough to betray him even if he had not spoken one word. Then the king said :
"Inever reward faUehood and deceit. Yuu shall this ¦morning leave my palace in disgrace. You shall not he commander of any troops, and in ont iiour you ¦must tal:*: your departure from litis city or yoti .ihn/l he imprisoned."
•AVho can imagine Wilmer's feolings ? He begged the king's forgiveness, but his pleadings and tears could not save him. He left the city, scarcely knowing where he went. He never rose to honor in aftor life, for his shame made him per¬ fectly miserable. He learued by a sad experience that:
Idleness lends lo tlcccit; one falsehood lends to anotlier, anil many of lhem lead lo ceriain disgrace; tlie deceiver stands in constant danger of heing betrayed, and if nobody else will tell on liim he will tlo it himself, fnthtittry irnd truth urn the roatl III honor antl scetirily.—N.
