How to Pick Huckleberries.
BY THE REV. JOHN TODD, D. D.

BY THE REV. JOHN TODD, d. d.
When first knew Mr. Horscly, he was an
old, white-haired man, and very rich. AS he
seemed never to have been in any great busi-
ness, such as merchants and spectators now
engage in, and he was never accused of being
dishonest man, it was always q mystery to
me how he came to be so rich. | knew that
his father was poor country clergyman, and
that John could have received no property
from him. Meeting my friend one day. when
our conversation happened to turn on the
subject of gathering property, I ventured to
ask him how it was that he had been SO sue
cessful in life2
"When was boy, said he, "my father
was poor minister We lived very plain, and
dressed very plain, but that never troubled us.
We always had enough of something to eat,
any my mother was one who would contrivc
to have her children dressed neatly, if not
richly. One day when was little fellow,
sveral little boys and girls came along on their
way to pick huckleberries. They invited me
to 90 with them. And when l saw their
bright faces and their little baskets and the
bright afternoon. I wanted to go with them l..
So went into the house and asked my moth
er saw she sympathised with me but said I
must 20 and ask father.
"And where is fathert"
"Up in the study, Of course!"
Cup bounded. hat in hand, and gently
knocked at his door," He bade me come in.
well, Johnny, what is your wish?'
II want, sir. to go with the children and
pick huckelberries.
Where are they going?"
"Only to Johnson's hill sir"
"How many children are there?"
Seven, besides myself Please let me CO.
"Well, you may 60. Be a good boy, and
use no bad words"
"Away scampered. and had just got tc
he bottom of the stairs, when my father cal
led me back" o dear, it's all over now.
, He's going to take it all back said to my
self. Trembling 1 again stood in the door
way. expecting to have the permission with.
drawn.
Johnny, said my father, with peculiar
smile, have word of advice to give you.
You will find the berries growing on bushes
standing in clumps, all over the lot. Th.
children will pick few minutes at one place
and then 60 of to another in hopes of finding
better picking and thus they will spend ball
of the afternoon in roaming from one place TO
another. Now my advice to you is that when
you find pretty fair picking sick to tAa: spa
and keeping r'eFiry here. Ycg basket 1t

night will show whether my advice is good

night will show whether my advice Is good
or not.
Sir followed my fathers advice, and
though the children would wander about and
cry out, o. Johny, here'sa world of them,'
and here is splendid picking and here you
can fill your basket in less than no time,' yet
l stuck to my fair picking place. When we
got through at night to the astonishment Of
every one, and my own no less, it was found
that I had nearly twice as many berries as any
other one. They all wondered how it was.
But knew and that was the lesson that made
me rich man. Whenever / have found fair
picking have STUCK to il Others have chang
ed occupations and business, and have moved
from one place to another. have never done
80. and attribute all my success to the lesson
by which 1 learned to pick huckleberries."
I have recalled this conversation, and tho
form of my old friend, who has long since
passed away, to impress it upon the parent,
and upon the teacher. that a single sentence
of instruction may shape the course of the
whole life of the child now under his care.
Not only did property and success hang on the
minister's hint, but the shaping of his sons
whole character for life, and perhaps for ever,
How much wisdom we need, to be able to
say the right thing at the right time!
And no less urgently do want to impress
the lesson on the child, that if he is doing
pretty well where he is, if his teacher does
we'll by him, don't change. or try another
class or another school. If your advantages
are less than you could wish, stick to them.
and make the most of them. The stone thas
rolls the least gathers the most moss. What
was wise in picking huckleberries, is wise in
every attempt to learn and gather what is val
liable.

they will contain saltpetre, and from such
