From The Utica C;ti,ea.

Interesting AncCd0tc.-Ihe following
anecdote was related by VIM. Fl. Maynard,
Esq. at meeting Of the Lyceum in Utica.
I" In December, 1907, Mr.. M. was
teaching school for q quarter in the town
of Plainfeld, Mass. One cold clustering
morning, on entering his school room, he
observed a lad that he had not seen before,
sitting on one of the benches. The lad
soon made known his GRAND to Mr.. M
He was fifteen years old his parents liv-
ed seven miles distant he wanted an ed
ucation; and had come from home on
foot that morning to see if Mr.. M. could
help him to contrive how to obtain it.
Mr.. M. asked him if he was acquaint-
ed with any one in the placel No. Do
your parents know any person here? No.
Have you any friends that can give you
assistance ? No. Well, how do you ex-
pect to obtain an education? l don't
know, but thought l would come and see
YOU. Mr.. M. told him to stay that day,
and he would see what could be done.--
He discovered that the boy was possessed
of good sense, but no uncommon brlliian-
cy; and he was particularly struck will
the cool and resolute manner with which
he undertook to conquer difficulties which
would have inundated common minds. IL
the course of the day, Mr.. M. made pro-
visions for having him boarded through The
winter in the family with himself. the lac
paying for his board by his services out o
school. lie gave himself diligently to stu
dy, in which he made good but not rapic
proficiency, improving every opportunity
of reading aud conversation for acquiring
knowledge and thus spent the winter.
"When Mr.. M. left the place in the
spring, he engaged minister, who resi-
ded about four miles from the boys father.
to hear his recitations and the boy accor-
dinghy boarded at home and pursued his
studies. Ii is unnecessary to pursue the
narrative further. Mr.. M. had never seen
the lad since. But this was The history Of
tho Rev. Jonas King, whose exersions in
thu cause of oriental learning, and in alle-
WAITING the miseries Of Greece, have en-
deared him alike to the scholar and the
philanthropist, and shed bright ray OF glo-
ry on his native country
