About one hundred and fifty years ago
there lived in Moscow, poor boy who
was employed by pastry cook in hawk
Ing pies and cakes through the streets,
and uttering dyer,ing cries to obtain
purchasers, One day while thus en-
poyed he happened to attract the notice
Of the Car, Peter the Great, who sent
for him and was SO pleased with his re-
plies that he took him into his household
The boy improved his opportunities, was
very diIigent, acquired several langua'
ges, obtained a knowledge Of public af-
fairs. and SO won the esteem Of his mas
ter that he became one Of his fayOriIos,
He successfully rose to the highes! Dig
nifty, that of prince aud Fiold.mnrshal
and was equally distinguished, whether
serving in the field as general or a
minister in the cabinet In after life
however, he experienced sad misfortune.
The name of this poor boy was Men.
