twenty-five skilful stcreotypcrs is
necessary, and tie force of employees
in the mailing department has ais
to be greatly increased in order that

undertaken work that would re-
quire time for it's completion. An
examination OF his finances satisfied
him that he had no money to waste.

class hotel and took q cheap, fur
nishod apartment in an unaristo~

paid onl y six dollars IL month. lie
cut down his bill of fare to bread,
milk and fruit, and satisfied his
appetite at cost Of twenty cents
day Meantime with good clothes
and cheerful looks he pushed for
in appointment, and, after many
dlsappcintmcnGs, achieved SUCCESS
in two and a half months from the
time of his arrival. Had he follow
eel the usual custom Of expensive
living his money would have given

would have subsisted for timo on
his wardrobe, and, becoming too
shabby for appearance in good SO

appeal for charity to help him back,
crushed and woc-bc-gono, to his old
homo.

expression to our feelings, but we

growing prospect Of being entirely
relieved Of the so-called bonded
debt, in the creation of which they
