10 Young MRN.-A gentleman writing
to the New York Times tells the follow.
ing truthful story:
"a friend OF mine, who is at the head
OF one OF our Government Offices, has in
his employ large number of clerks,
among whom was strong, bright boy,
occupying q subordinate position, the
outies OF which the boy filled creditably
ana satisfactorily for few years. at
tne end OF that time, vacancy occur.
RED. The boy (then just grown) applied
ior the advancement. NO." said my
friend, =! cannot give you the situa-
non; II think, sir, am quite capable
OF niiing that place, and l would do my
oest: IL cannot give it to you, and
what is more, do not intend to les Won
remain here in any position" "Iiow
sir, in what have I failed to oive vo,,
satisfaction? I have always done nv
duty" Eyes, and it is that I think vel,
OF you that wish you to do better; you
can never be anything more here than a
clerk. 1t Is miserable life for young
man to begin upon. You will pass The
best OF yoar life here, and at fifty have
no m ore salary and have done no more
than you now do at twenty. You have
an uncle who is butcher: Won are n
good accountant, write good hand. are
honest and bright. and with those
qualities your uncle will be glad to
take you with him. Eighteen months
after this conversation, q nice little
wagon and horse drove up to the -
Office, very well-dressed. fine.look;np
young man got out. It was the ex-clerR
come to thank his former employer for
the advice he had given him. He said:
IF it had not been for you. air. would
have gone droning on in shis ront;ne ~
all my life; whereas now INV
1nole has taken me into partnership.
We have large market shop and are
doing paying business" It seems to
ne that this story might point wav ont
OK difficulties Of finding situations for
clerks. I have told Il az
actly as it occurred, forbearinR 70 alta-
the trade OF butcher for one that would
suit fastidiOus tasts for sgresab,s sur.
roundings. For myself, I would prefer
having large market shop to being all
my life q shabby-genteel clerk.
