Between cash in hand and its nominal equiv

young countrymen, had learned to distinguish
with alacrity and positiveness; besides, be
knew how small was the amount Of ready
money that his father, in spite OF care and
skill at his business, was able to show for
more than a quarter of a century of hard
work
The young mans departure was the occa.

something, to bring news, to ask advice
anything that would be an excuse to see what
might be going on, and to learn why Phil was
going to the city. Pills parents had pre-
pared what they supposed would be sufficient
explanation: tho farm and the house needed
some things that could better be selected from
large stocks and variety than bought nearer
home. But they had moderated the persist
