I met Mr. Thurlow Weed a day or
two since in the Office Of one of our
leading papers, and l alluded TO Mr..
James Harper, and mentioned ms
views as to the ways for Worklngman
10 Acquire independence. Mr.. Weed
reflected a moment and replied: 1t
was most emphatically the rule OF
James Harper's whole life to study,
not how little he could work but how
much. Mr.. Harper and L learned our
trade more than fifty years ago, of Mr..
Seymour, then the leading printer OF
the city. He was our master, and one
of the best men God ever made. He
resided at No. 46 John street, and
lived directly opposite his place Of
business. James and were partners.
The advantage of having good part
ner, where you worked month after
month together at the same press, must
be apparent. Often after we had done
a good days work, james Harper
would say, 'Thurlow, let's break the
back of another token--just break.
/ would generally reluctantly consent
lust to break the back of the token,
but james would beguile me, or laugh
nj my complaints, and never let me OF
until the token was completed fair and
square. 1t was a custom with us 10
snmmer to do a fair half days work
before the other boys and men got
their breakfast. James and / would
meet by appointment In the gray of
the morning, and go down to John
Street. We got the key of the Office
BY tapping on the window, and Mr..
Seymour would take it from under his
En1I - ko.nrnna Of no

pressman, CONTINUED Mr.. Weed, who
could do 20 or even 10 per cent. more
work than usual was always sure of a
situation. James Harper, Ton Ken

the largest bills in the city. We often
earned as much as $14 per week-lib-
eral wages when you remember that
good board could be obtained as low
as SO per month" AS Mr.. Weed ut

the fires that illumined them in his
youth. and there was that expression
