" About thirty years ago,•'
Judge P., "I stepped into a bookstore
in Cincinnati, in search of qnme hooks
that I wanted. While b. a little
ragged boy, not over twat% e oars of
age, came in and inquired for it geog
raphy,"
"Plenty of them," was the salesman's
reply.
"i-low much do they cost r
"One dollar, my lad."
"I was not aware that they cost so
much as that."
Re turned to go out, and even open
ed the door, but closed it again and
came hack. "I have got only sixty•
one entri," said he; " could you let me
have a geography , and wait a little
while for the rest OF the money?"'
How eagerly his little hright eyes
looked for an answer; and how he
seemed to shrink within his ragged
clothes Nvneti the man, not eery - kindly,
told him lie could not!
nie disappointed little fellow looked
up to me, with a very poor attempt at
a smile, and left the store. I followed
him, and overtook him. •
"And what now 7" I asked.
"Try another place, sir "
"Shall I go, too, and hee how you
succeed ?"
"0, yes, if you like," maid lie, in stir ,
prime.
Four different stores I entered with
FIG and each tune was refused.
"'twill you try again?' I asked
"Yes, sir, I shall try them all, or I
should not know whether I eould get
one."
We entered the fifth store, •arl the
little fellow walked up manfully, and
told the gentleman just what he want
ed, and how much money he had
"You want the books very 'touch ?"
said the proprietor
"Yes, sir, very much.' •
"Why do yon want it so very, very
much ?"
. -
"To study, sir. I can't go to school,
but I study when I can at home All
the boys have got one, and they will
get ahead of me. Besides, my fattier
was a sailor, and 1 want to learn of the
places where he used to go."
"Does he go to these places now r
staked the proprietor
"He 18 'lead," said the hoy, softly.
Then he added after a while, "I atn go
lag to ben sailor, too."
"Are you, though 7" asked the gen,
tdeman, raising his eyebrows curious-
ly.
"Yes, sir, if I live."
"Well, my lad, I will tell you what I
will do; I will let you have a new go
ography, and you may pay the rernatti
der of the money when you ran, or I
will let you have one that is not new
for fitly cents "
"Are the leaves all in It, andjust like
the others, only not dew ?"
"Yes, just like the new ones."
"It will do just as well, then, leffrl
