hands with his father and brother. mount
ed the stage, and set off for his new des-
tination.
He found Mr.. Young all he could wish.
and went into his business with an as
siduity that surprised his master.
One evening after Samuel Winthrop
had been with his new master six months,
the latter came into the shop after all the
journeymen had quit work and gone
home, and found the youth buSily en-
gagged in fitting piece of iron. There
were quite a number of pieces on the
bench by his side, and some were curl
ouSly rivetted together and fixed with
springs and slides, while others appeared
not yet ready for their destined use. Mr..
Young ascertained what the young work
man was up TO, and he not only encourag-
ed him in his undertaking, but he stood
for half an hour and watched him at his
work. Next day Samuel Winthrop was
removed from the blackSmith's shop to
the machine shop.
Samuel often visited his parents. At
the end of two years, his father was not

formed him that Samuel was the most
useful hand in his employ.

and trustworthy surveyors in the county.
Mr.. Winthrop looked upon his eldest
son with pride, and often expressed a
wish that his other son could have been
like him. Samuel had come home TO
visit his parents, and Mr.. Young Lad
come with him.
Mr.. Young said Mr.. Winthrop, after
the tea things had been cleared away.

tensive machine shop connected with the
factories. Now if my boy Sam is as
good workman as you say he is, per-

Mr.. Young looked at Samuel and
smiled.
