that he handed the gentleman a
dollar with which to pay the boys
fare to Boston by stage, and request
ed him to send the lad to the city,
and if, on 8 personal interview, be
should not prove satisfactory, no

The gentleman, as requested, visited
tbe boy'a parents and, stating the
merchants proposal, advised them
to send the boy for trial. He then
gave him tho dollar which vas to
