What- a character half the little boy earned ! He had already gofi what would be 'worth more to him than a. fbi‘tune. It would he a passportinto the best. store in the city, and what is better, into confi~ deuce and respect of the whole community. I wonderifboys know how soon they are rated by older people. Every boy in the neighbor-hood is known, and- opinions are formed of. him; he has a character either favourable on‘ unfamurable. ' A boy of whom the master:- oan say, “I can trust him, he never failed,:’-‘: will never want employment.
