The adventure of two French Canadians, the
one boy of sixteen years. and the other aged
nineteen, and blind from the effect of the small

give il publicity, inasmuch as it furnishes
gratifying commentary upon the courtesy and
hospitality Of our countrymen.
The story is briefly this: The younger
brother having gathered from some source that
the oculists in Boston or New York could
probably be Of aid TO his blind brother, deter
mined to visit those cities. Accordingly the
brothers started on foot from 81. Adams about
five weeks ago with only three dollars as pas
sage money. They travelled TO Whitehall,
received aid fom those on the way, and when
there gained free passage TO Trov, Albany,
and TO Boston by the Railroad-never suffer-
ing for want of food and kind treatment The
people saw that there could be no imposition,
and therefore rendered aid without stint to the
poor French boy and his blind brother. When
in Boston, they were taken care oi by the hos
pitable inhabitants, and were conducted to the
ocuIists Of the city, who made no charge for
their services.
Not receiving any benefit there, they travel
ed to New York, and alas received no aid
from the oculists in that city. They had
therefore no longer any hope to incite them to
further endeavor, and no alternative but TO re-
turn 10 their friends in this neighborhood.-
They have returned safely, and the boy with a
, hall dollar in his pocket! The two dollars and
half were spent on one Of the steamboats, on
the lake for a passage to Burlington. The
brothers are not able tn talk much English,
but were very warm in their praises Of the
kindness they experienced wherever they went.
We make no apology for this story-let our
justification be that we are anxious that the
example should be followed by those who be-
lieve that, "He that giveth 10 the poor lendelh
to the Lord. "-Frankiin (Vt.) Messenger.
