A Marked Youth.

Years ago, there lived in the interior of
New York q boy. the son OF a farmer, who
a'so worked at the trade Of potter. The
boy was marked youth, because he would
do with might whatever he undertook. He
was a leader in the ordinary sports of boy
hood, and whenever the farm or the pottery
relaxed their hold upon him, he would be
found repairing some damaged article, or de-
Vising new implement.
His father was poor; the farm was small
and could only be enlarged by clearing up
1he primeval forest. The boy was anxious
to acquire knowledge, but his services were
80 necessary to his father that he could not
be spared 70 attend the winter term of the
common school.
But the boy was in earnest With the aid
OF his brother, Que year his junior. he chop
ped and cleared four acres of biroh and
maple woodland, ploughed it, planted il with
cOrD. harvested the crops, and then asked
a. bis compensation, to De allowed to attend
scEOO during the winter. OF course, the ia
Il er granted his wish.
When the boy was seventeen, the fathers
pottery business had so increased as to de-
mGnd a more extensive factory A carpen-
ter was hired to build the new building, and
the boy assisted him.
So familiar did he become with the tools
and the trade, that he determined, with the
aid Of the younger brother, TO erect a two
story frame dwelling house for his fathers
family.
The two boys cut the timber from the for
est planned and framed the structure, and
then invited the neighbors to assist at the
raising" They came from far and near to
see what lad of seventeen had done. When
every mortise and tenon was formed to fit its
place and the frame was seen to stand per-
feet and secure, the veterans cheered the

was Just the man for the work.
