The hero of the tale was an old man
named Johnston, who lived from boy in
the place, and followeda curious trade for
a living. Early and late he was seen
down by the rivers side collecting drift
wood, and toiled at it 50 necessarily, day

Driftwood Johnston was making money );
that he had invested his little earnings
well, and had realized large sums of mo

mean in dress, and very saying-aH the
money he ever spent, except for the
sites Of life, being for the education Of
most lovely daughter, for the old man had
wife and child. At last Driftwood
bought a yery large brick house, or built
it and much to- the surprise of every
body, furnished it elegantly, and brought
his daughter home from school to be the
bciie Of his mansion, 1tstAs : good va,
