widow in destitute circumstances, and exert
cd herself to the utmost TO support her fAmi-
ly. John, then about twelve years old, felt
DESTROYS Of aiding her and doing something
for himself, and accordingly induced Mr.

he could for = livelihood. The family we're

from the slave hands, and still were not ex-
actly willing to receive him IT their own
table in the same room with the family.
Joan was hearty, willing AMI independent
boy, and always thoroughly accomplished
whatever he undertook. Mrs. NJ. declares
that he always had his catechism, perfectly
BY heart, and this caused the Bishop to be-
come interested in him. lie saw in him no
common character, and proposed to John to
become : clergyman. But John, although
he liked to learn the catechism, declared his
disinc' ination TO be minister, and accord
ingly the affair was dropped.

and his mother was in great need, and he
concluded he would try and do something 10

soon lost all knowledge Of the boy and, in
fact, when years afterwards he read Of the
exploits and discoveries Of Col. Fremont, it

his once one day, and called him BY name.

Fremont, and asked him what he had been
about, and where he had been, &c. Col. +.
told him he had been about 10 different parts
Of the country, doing this, that and the other
thing, and then it came to Mr.. Ms mind
that John, the poor boy whom he had taken

sonage than Col. j. c. Fremont.
