dant harvest: 5nt il. in the culture OF men

filing the earth, and cartlessly and negii-
gently does his work, like them, he will tind

bringing forth weeds and bIiars. Let the
yOuag apprentice bear in mind, when he
commences learning any business, that ali
hopes OF success in the future are to fade

mind that be can become master of his busi.
