CHOOSING A PROFESSION.

Of young man who promised his dying father
that he would adopt q profession, and that 1t
should be one that his conscience told him he
was fitted TO hll. The old man died, and the son
began to consider what profession he should 30.

Of law, but as he became satisfied that he couldn't
be friends on the Stleet with the man who, in the
court room, called him q snivellinR blackguard,
and whom he had hinted was an eEtrain wreck
or, and moreover as he wasn't good at poker, he
gave up that idea. He thought OF the stage, but
the conclusion that he shouldn't like to be fred
at several times a week by the men with whose
wives he had hirted made him feel that he was
unfit for that profession. The church suggested
ITSELF he might be clergyman. But when he
asked himself: "Do you like to play CrOquetH'
his conscience compelled him to admit that he
detested the game. He was, therefore, united
for the church. But at last q happy thought
struck him. He did not object to profanity, he
was willing to yell at the top Of his voice, he en-
Dyed q sCuffle now and then, and he liked to
wear diamonds and:drRw:s big salary. The way
was open to him to keep his promise to his father
by becoming professional man, and at the same
time do nothing that his conscience told he was
untitled for. He pitches curved ball. Boston
