A young man of eighteen or twen-
tv.. student in university, tooka
walk one day with a professor, who
was commonly called the student's
friend, such was his kindness TO the
Young men whose Office IL was toinS
strict. ' ' ''i's'


Willie they were W Walking together,
and the professor was seeking to lead
the conversation 10 grave subjects,
they saw a pair of old shoes lyiDg,iil
their path, which they supposed to
belong to poor man who was at
work in the field close by, and who
had nearly finished his days work. 3
The young student turned TO the,
professor SAYING, 'let Us play Che
man trick; we will hide his shoesy
and conceal ourselves behind those
bushes, and watch TO see his per-
plexity when he cannot find them


r'My dear friend answered the
professor, I'VE nustnever aInuse our
selves at the expense of the poor.
But you are rich, and you may give
Yourself a much greater pleasure by
means of this poor man. Put Il dol-
lar into each shoe, and then we will
hide ourselves . '''. ''7'o


The student did so, and then pla-
ccd himself with the professor be-
lind the bushes close By, through
which they could easily watch the
laborer, and see Whatever wonder
or JOY he might express. .,...,.T


The poor man had soon finished
his work, and came across the, field
to the path, where lie had left his
coat and shoes. While lie put. on
the coat, lie Slippei 4 one footinto one
of his shoes; but feeling something
hard, he stopped down and found the
dollar. Astonishment and wemier
were seen upon his countenance;
he gazed upon the dollar, tnined il
around, and looked again and again;
then he locked around him on all
sides, but could see no enc; Now
he put the money in his pocket snd
proceeded to puto the other shoe,
Ebnt how great was his astonishment
when he found tie other dollar!
His FEELINGS ocercane lin !, lie fell
upon his knees, looked rpito heaven
Eand uttered aloud a ferverIt thanks
giving, in 'whicl, he spoke Of his
wife, sick and helpless, and his chii-
drcn without bread, whom this time
| ly bounty from some unknown hand
would save from perishing.


The young man stood there deep
Ily affected, and tears filed his,eyes.

youth. you have taught me a lesson
