and entered upon his duties in the store Of
Mr.. Walcott, and James Hardy remained
in his place in tho village school and pur-
sued his daily lessons. He believed his
parents knew better what was for his good
than he knew himself and he cheerfully
submitted to them in all things.

head clerk in the store Of Mr.. Walcott.
and James occupied similar position in
a neighboring ghouse-the former at sal
airy Of fifteen hundred dollars a year, the
latter at thousand. They still contin-
ued to associate together, more from early
habit than from any similarity Of present
tastes, for James had grown up pious
young man, and for years had been de-
voted teacher in the Sabbath school and q
member of the Church, while George was
strictlya man Of the world, thinking of
little beyound how to get monoy-how to
become rich. The sanctuary had few
charms for him.
One day whilo taking his accustomed
mornig walk over one Of the bridges lead
ing to the suburbs of the city, james pick
cd up large and apparently well-flled
pocket-book. 1t was Of that description
usually carried by our merchant princes,
and opening 1t he found It indeed well
filed. Some twenty thousand dollars in
bills Of large denominations was snugly
packed away within. Hastily returning
to his lodgings with his prizo ho met
George. just as tho latter was leaving for
his store. He showed him the pocket
book, and exhibited to him its contents.
