Telling him to call at q certain
time when he expected his engine
would be ready for'use, and he would
talk further with him, he dismissed |
him. "But he must have that en-
rine," said the merchant to friend,
to whom he related the circumstance.
g. c will make a man, that boy will.
Aboy who is determined to be some
thing; who gives his mother all his
money 10 Tighten her burdens; who
does not uso tobacco, and who does
not 60 to the theatres; who spends
his evenings in study after working
all day, such boy will make man
and deserves to be helped, | have
not told him so, but shall take him
and put him under one of my engin-
GERS until he is fully capable of
taking charge, and let him have the
engine. He will get twenty dol
lars n week then instead of five, and
be able to Tighten a mothers bur-
lcns, have clothes to wear to church,
and be able to buy books to aid him
in business" p Ah' hF'a'e-
4, A noble boy, though hidden amid
hard conditions and under unattract-
i've CARDS, will work out and show
his manhood. He may not always
find friends to appreciate him; but
determined, ,virtuous, and willing TO
endure, he will ia due time conquer.
