head in the world, and understand thing

cxertions for the procuHing Of books The
elder Limpton could NOT but appreciate bis
sons laudable desire, and so he gave tD Phi.
lander small lot of land, that the youth
might cultivate it and raise tberefrorn the

PRilander broke up his small lot of land,
and after due deliberation he planted there
in corn. The sunshine smiled, and the
clouds wept upon Philander's land, and in
