the minister sent for Sandrino, and
offering him chair opposite him
self, he said.
Now tell me frankly, Do you wish
to go to Rome?"
Il? Yes, of course replied the
youth indifferently.
And what are you going to do in
Rome?' continued his uncle. per,
haps you expect to pass your days,

girls and playing at billiards.
Not at ALL" replied the boy an

place. But what place are you
fit for? Of course you do not wish
me to give you an office which you
cannot fill You do not assume that
ought to discharge one of my en-
ployees in order that you might re-
ceive his office. Where the deuce
will you settle yourself for start?''
The boy looked at his uncle with
round eyes, but did not reply. The
minister continued,
Let me make a supposition. Sup
pose you enter into some office as
clerk of the third class why do
you hope to be a success?"
II don't know, I'm sure"
Il will tell you frankly. After
twenty years of hard work you will
not be earning enough to support a
family You will have passed the
best years of your life in the vitiat-

that he were right. Suppose that

pose that fortune smiled upon you
and that you become Perfect of

would you be contented? | hope that.
you will never aspire to a place so

unlucky"
believe me, my dear lad, public
life is a rugged road full of briars
which consumes the strength, de-
stroys the heart and drys up the in
most affections, condemning us to
the adultation of ingrates and pro-
curing for US the hatred and curses
of disappointed office seekers One
has need to travel laboriously every
day in the mud of human passions
and to tread upon serpents.

Of fame that flies abroad Oh, my
