Half an hour, ago I left him In the gar den, and told him I wonted the weeds pulled out of that bed as soon as possible. Only half an hour, sir; and look at bun now!” • • This was spoken by Mr. John IFoWc, ll slout farmer, who owned one of the most valuable tracis of land In the neighborhood, lie spoke to ’Squire Warren, who was a worthy lawyer of the place: and he spoke of a boy who stood in a distant garden leaning up against a peach tree. The little fellow did not realize,that any olio was gazing at him, and he seemed to bo taking it quite comfortably. William Alberton—such was the boy’s name —had been left an orphan at an early age. Ilia father, who had once been an intelligent, active man, had become an inebriate, and died when his son was only a year old; Ho left nothing for his widow to live upon, and she tomul a home in the Almshouse, where she lived two years, and then died. Thus at the age of three years, William was left an orphan, and an in mate of the village 'Almshouse, without any known relatives, and without friends save such ns. common humanity gave him. When ho was twrij'oycflrs old, Mr. Howe agreed to tdko him add bring him up. Ho hadnosonsof bis own ; and ho made up his mind (fiat if the boy proved to be faithful and industrious, ho wouul adopt him as his own. Out (he fanner had been disappointed. Wil liam proved to bo kind and generous to a fault; but ho was not industrious. He would not work. Ho would never accomplish anything when left alone. lie seemed to hate the very sight of work, and would neglect it upon every possible opportunity. Gilbert Warren, Esq., was one of. the over seers of (ho poor, and he had called to see the farmer, and also to see the boy, touching the complaints which had been made. •* It’s no use,” sold Mr. Howe. “ Ho’fl been with me two years, and I've had a chance to read him thoroughly. There's no work in him. I*d as lief have a block of wwd for a boy, ex* ooily.” • 1 Then you don’t wish to keep him any long er V'. said the lawyer. *• I can’t, ’finufro. It’s no use, I tell yo.— Hoorn l a bit of good to me Any way. Hodon’t earn his salt. But that oint the worst. The worst of the whole Is. it keens mo in a perfect fever all the time- Whyrlvo fairly had h»y head ache just seeing how lazy ho was—Justin worrying over him, Why, I wouldn’t keep him for live hundred dollars a year. ’Taint the loss I care so much about; hut it’s as 1 tell ye—it makes mo suffer to seo him.” “ Have you tried to correct him V ’ • “ Tried'V\ echoed Ilpwe, with an elevation of the brow, and an accompanying “ Umpli!" “I guess you'd Brink so if you’d been hero on certain'occasions. 'I used to (log him ; but I found that did no good, and I stopped it. In fact, I .never did flog hint lint I su Herod inore’n ho did.- lie is so good natured, and so honest: and then ho would beg so, mid promise to re* form, that, it used to pain mo to whip him.— Lately, I’vo argued with him,; I’vo pointed out to him what a wretched, good-for-nothing lifu .he'd lead if ho did not pluck up and learn to work. As long as I had the least hope of there being work in him' I bore with him, and tried to overcome his fpiilt; but I've found now that it bint In him, and I must give it up.” “ Let’s eeo; bo’s fourteen now, Isn’t ho ?” “ Yes. fourteen last March.” For fifteen minutes tho two men stood and looked at tho boy, and during all that timo bo didn’t work (wo minutes, 110 was called up, camo with a tremulous step aud downcast 9Y* “William,” spoke the lawyer, “why don’t yon work bpltcr?

Yes, you do know.- Now tell me: Why is it , s , Tho lad -looked up into- the interlocutor’s face. He had a clear, worm, grey eye, and a face of moro than ordinary beauty., • His brow was high and full, and his brain large apd ac tive. Mr. ’Warren was deeply moved by his appearance, and a new’set of feelings took pos session ofhim. , . “ Can't you answer mo ?.” the lawyer added, as. the boy gazed- tip into hi/3 face, without speaking,... - , „ “ I—l don’t want to be a. farmer, sir,” the little fellow finally answered. i ,f* That’s it!” cried llowo,indlgnanlly. “He don’t want, to do anything that’s got work to it. He’ll play all day. If you’ll Jet. him; and mopc all nigh’t over a book. I tell ye,.he’s got to be made to work.’* • The bpy trembled and shrank back; But Mr. Warren was begimng , to see a new light breaking in upon the subject. His long term of .service in various courts had rendered him.copablo.of rending character very readily, and he saw very plainly that William Alberton had an immense force of character somewhere, and he believed it could bo brought out. “What were yon doing while leaning up rfgoinst that tree ?” ho asked of the boy. “ I wasn’t doing anything, only thinking, sir.” “ And what were jDti thinking about ?” "I—T don't know as I.could tell, sir." “ But you can tell me some of it. Tell mo as ncarlv as you can.” M Well, sir, I was—l know it was very fool ish, sir, but I could not help it—a—making a speech, sir.” “Making a Speech!” repeated the farmer, sarcastically., That’s what he’s always doing. Making a speech ! A fine speech you'd make! 1 * At this point the boy began to cry. and Mr. Warren turned to tho (armor, and bade him send the lad to his office tho following morn ing. . * When William knew that Mr. Howe was go ing to send him awoy, he felt very unhappy, for be supposed he should bo sent back to the poor house. But ho finally consoled himself with the reflection that he could run away. ■ Yet, ho was sorry to leave his master and family. lie had'been treated very kindly, considering the circumstances; and ho knew that Mr. fiowo would like to keep him end make a man of him, But when became to think of the work bo must do, he had not the courngc-to tryit. Hoknew hocould*not work. lie had no will for it ’ It was a double labor for him, Tor it was a severe task to make up his mind lo work. Little Anna Howe cried all night long, ond in tho morning sho threw her arms nbontOlV’ll. liam’s neck, and begged him to slay; She/ was just of his own age. and a loving, gentle, pretty girl. Bat her father came, and called .her a fool, and Sent her away. That «vas the hardest struggle for the boy.— He had hot thought of Anna at.first. He had forgotten that he would be ns a stranger in tho household. However not be helped, and he blessed her, and told her he would come and see her when he was a man. ... , At thc“appoTn(bd time William Albqrtort made his appearance at the lawyer’s officc.wilh his bundle on his He sat down, and Mr. WnfTcn began to converse with him. Ho ask ed him about liis work at the place he had left, and about his health. The lad_ said tho.work was hard, but ho did not knoV th«t it was harder than it would bu oh any farm.. “ Must I go back to the poorrhouso 1” He fi nally asked, with a shuddering (one. “Well—l don’t know.” relumed tho law yer, cydffg liitfi thoughtfully. “ How would you liko to come into my office, and help me ?’l * The boy Started up from his scat, and clasp ed his hands quickly together. But In ft tno ment'niore be sank back, mfirifiuring as lie did so— “ Only to bo a servant, you meant, sir!” “■Con you write?”. “TQas.eir.” ■ “ Let me sco you Write a few words.” William went to the table at which the friw ycrsai, and taking a pen and paper, ho wrote a short sentence. Mr. Warren took the paper, and was surprised at tho full, round, easy hand he found there. And then (ho words written were as worthy of note os tho chirogra ph)*. Tho boy had set down as follows : “ jVo man ever excelled in a pursuit for which he was not sailed." “If I lake you into my office I shall intend to let yon do just that work which you con do best, the lawyer said, after, ho had examined the piece of paper, and what was on It. “Of course you will have to keep the office in order, and help me some at the house; but yon will write for mo; and if you wish to become a lawyer, I will offer yon every facility in my power. You shall have every help I can give.” 1 Tho, boy caught Mr. Warren’s band, and burst into tears. However, Hie business was soon settled. A few days after this Mr. ITowo came down to the village, and met Mr. Warren in tho street. “ Ab, ’Squire—what's become of tho boy ?” the farmer asked. “ I’ve taken him Into my office.” “What? Taken him to keep? Taken him to work for you ?” “Yes.” “ Well—l wish you much joy of your bar gain. I guess you’ll find your work como out scarce—that part that’s done." “ But my work is different from yours, Mr. Ilowo.” “Ah, but work is work. When bo was with the ho wonldn’talick to any kind of work. No, no—you needn't flatter yourself up with the idea that, yon arc going to got work out of that boy. Now mind. I (ell you. I know him; ®ud you’ll know him before long.” 1 ho lawyer smiled and passed on.. Six months after (bis Mr. Warren bod a flue opportunity to take an office In tho nd|accnt city, lie conferred with his friends and finally concluded to take It. 110 moved his fondly Into the city, and William was thus brought into new scones and within nc\v Influences. A cork thrown Into the water will rise to tho surface. Yon may hold it down as long ns you please, but the moment the extraneous force is removed up it conics. And so it is with the human mind. It must find Its Icvcb U will find its position wbcrccircumstancosaro the most congenial. Yon may bend a great, physical boy, with a dull, slutrglsh brain, over mental philosophy till bis bade grows round, but you cannot force bis miud to grasp it.— And so you may take a finely organized brain, nervous, full and active, and bend it over coarse, physical labor, but yon cannot keep it there. Tho brain which God lias fashioned for oiio thing cannot easily ho forced to another. So AVilllom Alborton could not content hlnv* self over his old master's shovel and hoc. Ilia would not slay there. It was away hunting after strange things m the world of thought. But In tho lawyer a offico that mind had found Us level. In copying deeds, and le gal Instruments of various Kinds, and in filling, up blanks, and scarchhlgoutauthoriiics for tho lawyer's uso, ho found plenty of food for his active mind* And with this tho manual labor 4 * 01731 COUNTRY—MAT IT' ALWAYS' BE lliam on WRONG, OUR COUNTRY.” , ' i i«;; 1 ’ ■ • ’ >/■ 1. ho had -to perform was mere pastime.

For depth of penetration ; for clearness of un derstanding ; for quickness of perception : and for power of reasoning, few men. excelled tho youth Tvho faad been for yearn engaged in striv ing after knowledge within the lawyer’s office. He was known by at! the best lawyers of the city, and all respected hini. ’ Mr. Howe was growing old. and trouble had come upon him. lle : wns now a widower, and all his daughters were married off save thq youngest—Anna. now. three and twenty, and though repeated oilers had been made for her hand, yet she remained a maiden. She said sho would not leave her father, lip would bo nil alone if she were gono, and phe could not forsake him. Sho was a lovely young woman, and many anxious wailing swain was watching for tho old man to die. But trouble hajl como upon John Howe. A large part of his farm had been, sold off for building lots, ond quite' q village sprung up around him. The land which remained—.near ly a hundred acres—was by far the most valu able portion, and the most pleasantly situated. All thnt he had received for .land already sold he had laid.out in beautifying and arranging what was Jeff ; and by this means tho eyes of those hunting for pleasant suberban residences were turned towards his lots. -His nlaccpoyld have been sold for a large fortune, lie was of fered a hundred and ten thousand dollars for jt just ns It was,oflcr he had cleared oft the rocks, and built an ocqncduct: but ho conferred with his friends, and they advised him to keep it— to sell off good lots to those only who would put up handsome dwellings, and keep a homo jbrlnmself. - . But a thunderbolt camo crushing upon the old farmer’s head.' A man camo and claimed the whole place as his own. He brought for ward liis deed, made by a former owner of tbo place, in favor of his (tho claimant's) father.— Mr, Howe hurried away |o his lawyer, who was a candid, honest old mart, and laid the ease be fore him. Upon searching into Aho matter, it appeared that the place had been actually sold; os stated, and that said purchaser had never given any deed to any ono. duo. It.also ap peared that themnn of whom Uowc had bought# twcnly*fivc years- before, had* no lefcal claim upon the land. Tbo man who formerly owned it left it, at his death, in care of a brother, for his son, this brother i having l been ; appointed guardian of said son. This eon was at sea. and there remained, fpr.so long a tfiuo.-that ho was supposed: to have died. Under those circum stances the uncle and guardian spld tho estate in his own name, and pocketed the mopey and left. Howe supposed tho title was good, - and look no trouble about it further than to have it recorded. The man of whom he bought had lived upon thin place many years, nnd ho sup posed, of course, that he was the proper owner. Thus all tliis appeared at tho present time.— Tho man who claimed tho estate was past tho middle age—over fifty somewhat—and his name was Benjamin Grumlcy. Mr.- Howe's lawyer saw him, and examined his claim, and could sec no way of avoiding it. After this tho old attorney called upon his client to report pro gress, “It’s a hard ease,” ho said. “I don’t see ; how you can help losing your land.” ' “ Losing?”repented Ilawo, vacantly. “06 y6u mean the whole ? Must I give up nil?”. . . “Yes.” • u All, Mr. Luton? ;Must all bo soatebed from.nie?” “ I don’t Sco li'oW y6u can help it, returned Luton. “I have examined into tho business, and is just as Mr Qrumlcy Jigs said. He went to sea whfcn he was twelve years, old—forty years ago—and sometime afterwards ho receiv ed a letter slating that his father was dead, and that his undo had been appointed guardian over him, and hud charge of'his property.—, This place was his, and is hts novy.; It,was du ly placed In hfs uncle’s hands in trust for him* His father left It to him by will, ana his uncly could not sell It.” » Still Mr. llowc could not believe it. Ho had known (ho man ofwhom ho hud bought, and ho could not believe him a villian. . Ho thought (hero must be some mistake or some villiony elsewhere. At all .events, ho ro« solved to seek other Counsel, lie remembered his old friend Warren. Ho was in tho city.— He might know something about,it. On the very next morning, the. old man went into tbo city and hunted' tho lawyer, up. 1 'Mr. Warren was glad to see him. and asked him i£ I gain it, I con reward you hand* somfly, ' ' . * ” Well —l'll bo frank with you,” replied Warren. “I have neither tho ttmo nor the Power to go into tho subject, for I neo very plainly that there has got to be a good deal of search and study. But I know a young law yer who can clear your claim if nnV one con. ” “Who Is ho?” “ It'is Mr. Albertson,” •“ o—l'vo heard.of. him. • lie’s the ono who gained tho greot corporation onso ?” Yes,” said Warren. “ lie took up a poor man’s oaso against ono of tho wealthiest corpo ration, and against thrcoo! our smartest law yers. and gained his case, tuo. Ho will take hold for you. I am sure : and if ho docs, you may feel very safe.” “ o—l hope you can get him. Tell him if ho can gain my ease. I’ll pay him anything.’* dir.
