The Boys FIRST Dollar:

MANY wears ago, a gentleman from the
town Of Methnen, Mass, while on a visit
tO a prominent merchant IN Boston, was
asked bv the merchant il he knew of a
boy in Methnen that he could recommend
to work in his store.
At first the gentleman could think OF
no n for he knew nome but a faithful,
honest boy of excellent character, in his
neighborlIood, but feared he would hard
ly do, as his parents We're very poor, and
he had no education or other advantages
to fit him TOR such Il position. But the
description of the boys habits pleased
the merchant so much that he handed
the gentleman IA dollar with which to
nav the boys fare to Boston, 10y stage,
and requested him to send tue lad to the
city, and If on "a personal interview az
should not prove satisfactory, he Would
pay his fare back again.
The gentleman, as requested, visited
the boys parents, and stating the meT77
chants proposal, advised them to send
the boy for trial. He then gave nm the
dollar which was sent to pay his fare TO
Boston and departed. Under similar
circumstances ninety-nine out of every
hundred boys would haEe, NOW for "a
good time !; | never saw 4 city, D never
rode on q stage. Oh, there will be so
much to see, and here is the money to
pay my fare" Not so with this boy.
Putting this money carefully in his
pockethe said tohimself: Thisis the first
dollar [ ever had now, | wish | could
save it. 1t is only twenty-five miles to
Boston. [ can walk there in a day. Ill
do it and save my dollar.
His mother patched up bis clothes as
we'll az she could, and early the next
morning the little fellow parted with ms
narents at the door If their humble
home, and set out on a long tramp 10
the great city, which he ached dirty
and dusty d little before sunset. lie
soon found the merchant, VINO sternly
said to him: ri,
"Where have you been all day? The
stage came in two hours ago
81 didn't come on the stage"
"Didn't | send money to pay your
fare 7" said the merchant.
The boy thought il was all up WIN
him sure, and amid gathering tears he
managed to reply: L.
offend YOU. I thought | would walk to
save the dollar"
placing his hand gently upon the boys
head, the merchant replied:
"My little man, yOu did exactly right.
Come home with ME and get some sup
Then turning to a bystander he re-,
marked, 81 wouldn't take Il thousand
dollars for this boy, to-day"
The boy has grown to manhood ana
has since become widely known among
business circles. He is now the owner
of tle extensive mills at Methnen, the
pemberton mill at Lawrence, ana one
of the fnestSarms in Massachusetts,. /"

Language of Finger Rings

In case of a gentleman wishing TO
marry-litterally in the market with
lis heart-he wears a plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger OF the
left or heart hand.
When success attends his suit, and
he is actually engaged, the ring passes
TO his second finger.
After marriage it passes to the third
finger. :,
If however, the gent desires to tell
The fair ones that he not only is not IN
the market, but he does not design to
marry at all. he wears the signet upon
his little finger and all ladies may I'M
derstand that he is out OF their reach:
With the fair sex the claws OF the
ring y are:
a plain or chasSgoEEdg on 1IT5FsnRe
finger Of the right hand simplies mot
engaged or in other words, ready
for proposals. sealed or otherwise,
When engaged, the ring passes to
the first finger of the left hand"
When married, the third finger re-
ceives it.
If the fair one proposes to DEFY the
siege Of her heart, she places the rings
on her first and forth tingers-one ON
eacl, like two charms to keep away the
tempter. 1t is somewhat singular n a
this disposition of the ring is rare.
