and reported:
HE has just left for the country on q
vacation"
'Then I'll leave note, said the man,
and he sat down, wrote few lines, and

The American boy is away up in the
estimation of the observers abroad. He
deserves we'll of distant commentator.
He is no longer the mere Fourth OF July
fire-cracker nuisance. He has attained
dignity which in modesty and with ap-
probation he shodld consider. It is
pleasant to hear kind words concerning
him from others far beyond his parents
and teachers. He can wear new feather
in his holiday cap. An English journal
draws q strong comparison between him
and his British cousin. It says that in
the latter country parents labor under
the extraordinary delusion that they can
make gentlemen" of their sons by
''pitchforking" them into city counting
houses, with vague expectation OF their
offspring some day blossoming into Bar
ings or Rothschilds; and that while the
lads are engaged in copying letters, or
running about with bills of acceptance,
without any salary for the first six
months, the 'papas and mammas" con-
sole themselves with the reflection that
their precious darlings are pursuing q
mice, gentlemanly occupation" which is
to terminate in untold .opulence. "And
on this rock of gentility," Us the jour-
nal referred to, ''the unhappy race of
clerks split" When they get old enough
and sufficiently experienced to be worth
a good salary, they are married, with
each half dozen mouths to feed, and
"still they have no resource but quill
driving, quill-driving. auill-driving, till
heart and brain grow weary"
Now see, by way of contrast, what,
according to the journal noticed, the
American boy does. He receives at q
common school much better edduca-
ton than he would receive in q CONNER.
cial school in England. eff he be
bright and ambitious boy, he leaves
school with the full intention of one day
occupying the White House at Wash
ington, as President of the United States,
or, at least, of becoming collector of the
port of New York, or president of q
railway or bank" But while he is pre-
pairing for such elevation, he is working
hard to make living. HE may work
on farm, or split rails, or saw log, or
drive an express wagon. HE may be
q car conductor, or q pointsman, or q
baggage tender. He may serve at bar(D
or teach village school. He may join
the press, and rise from the rank Of an
'interviwing reporter to that of an edi-
tor and newspaper proprietor. he may
go west, and turn trapper. or digger %
He may q clerk on board steamboat,
or in hotel. In short, he may be any
thing except waiter or domestic serv-
ant. But the American boy can do
more than an English boy can. He can
save1 money from his own labor ito en-
ter the State University, to study law or
start factory" He may become pub
lie man and member of congress-; but,
"if he gives himself up to drink and be-
comes loafer, he will probably go with
disastrous rapidity to the bad; If he is
sober and clever, there is no post of
honor, or emolument in the Republic to
which he may not reasonably aspire"
And that's the compliment leading
London journal pays our boys, and that
is bright encouragement it gives them.

moved to his Utmost heart by religious
conviction, at another he appears as q
fippant, rakish youth OF the French
school. And so all throughout his
greener years he appeared swayed, now
this way, and now that, as any stronger
character with whom he temporarily
came in contact directed him.
In the pages of Pepys's Diary We see
him in one Of these his youthful phases.
He says in one place: "Mr. Penn. Sir
Williams son, is come back from France,
and come to visit my wife; most mo-
dish person, grown, she says. fine gen
tleman." Again he says: "Comes Mr..
Penn to visit me; perceive something
Of learning he hath got, but great deal,
il not too much, OF the vanity Of French
garb, and affected manner of speech and
gait" A year or two previous to the
time Of this entry he was SO far in
huenced by well-known Quaker
preacher OF Oxford Is seriously to con.
template joining that sect. When this
reached his fathers ears he was packed
unceremoniously across to the continent.
where we see how quickly he was cured
Of his proclivities.
As man, this lack of ballast appears
to have passed away; his convictions
grew stronger, his character more deter.
mined aud his life consistent. When
old enough to become thoroughly es-
tablished in his religious principles, he
never abated . hair s-breadth from the
standard he took. He is even known to
have gone go far as TO remain covered in
the presence, for one of the articles Of
his faith WAS to remove his hat to no
man, and he obeyed the mandate i'm
plicitly.
An amusing and authenticated
account il told II him in connection
with his patron, James II. Shortly
after the accession Of that monarch,
Penn was admitted to an audience. He
found the king stadning, surrounded by
several OF his courtiers. The Friend en-
tered. a. he had been used TO do when
James was Duke Of York, without I'M
covering. Immediately. with great
show Of Difference, the king removed his
hat.
