"Pans it On." |8ul)
The Rev. Mark Guy Pearse tells us
that when he was a lad of fourteen I0!?
vears he was returning to his home in !? 1
Cornwall from school in Germauy, i VTU:
, passing through Loudon on his way.if1?
a onon/lhiif o litHo nuinoir iioro hp iHSt
'? took train to Bristol, and then went jca
on board a ship going to Cornwall?the!ofte
railways not running so far in those |you
. days. The passage money, which he j
thought included hi.s meals, exhausted |tUa;
the whole of his cash, and his surprise i
was great when the steward, toward}"18'
the close of the passage, hiought himjauy
a hi II for his food. He told them that,L
he had spent, all his money. "Then,";C?n<
said the steward, "you should not J P'*p
" have ordered the things you did," j calt
and asked him for his name aud ad-! rt,)()I
* dress. g??)
j Directly the lad had stated who he'u .
was. the steward looked at him intent- P"11
je ly, and exclaimed, "I never thought
would live to see you." !!?a11
Then he told how that, many years 'au>
j. before, when u fatherless hoy, and his j e
mother was in great distrtss, Mr.!,)al'
( Pearse's father befriended them, and j (. _f
^ lie had resolved, if ever opportunity ' 00
' afforded, he would repay the kindness ,
' thus shown. fc?o now he paid the!as'T
lad's bill, gave him five shillings, and .
. saw him safely lauded. na>
' When Mr. Pearse told his father the
incident, his reply was: "My lad, Ii8Un.
passed the kindness to him long agojam,'
H. in doing what I did, and now he has!
passed it on to you. Mind as you grow |
w up you pass it on to others." Torn
t), And Mr. Pearse did not forget; see-|Hle
lt. ing a lad one day at the railroad sta- is1'"'
jj.Jtion in trouble because he had not
K | enough money by fourpence to pay for J?1?*1
[M ! his railway fare, Mr. Pearse gave him
t. ju shilling, and when the lad brought "1'0
?s him back the change, he told him to 9 08
.ylkeep if, and that he was going 4o ride n,fi>
! with him. And then in the carriage J',e
0j- lie told the boy the story f?f how the 'l,)t
v- U'eward had treated him '>11 the boat. *L'UJ
? ' "And now," he said, "I want you, if ''is'
lj. ever you have the opportunity, to pass "er
,], it on to others." Mr. Pearse got out ro(.)1
lj, at the junction, and as the train left 'h'J
the station the lad waved his hand- ,n0'

"It's these dates. Father sa^

''Did you ever hear of Samuel Slat<
ind the use he made of his memory?
nquired Uncle Joe, quietly.
"No,, who was he?" said Ralph, h
mention fairly aroused.
"He was an Englishman," answe
:d his uucle, "and he came to th
ouutry in 1789. This you will r<
nenaber, even if your memory is nc
erygood, was soon after the close c
he Revolution. About this tim
nany improvements and new invei
ions for spinning cotton thread fc

America had been brought from Eag

ake it, their machinery was so in:
>erfect and old-fashioned, that th
loth was coarse and ugly, and everj
iody preferred to buy tine iraporte'
oods. On this accouut the men wh
lad goue into the business lost a grea
eal of money and were very mucl
iscouraged."
"Why didn't they buy some of th
lew machines they had in England?1
sked RalpK, who was accustomed t
earing schemes discussed for gettinj

hinery.
"That was what they tried to do

opolies.

"A great many did," replied hi
ncle, smiling. "Inventors and arti
ans tried to embark for our shores, bu
hey weie searched, their models take]
way, and/ they themselves throw:
nto prison."
"And what did Samuel Slater do?1
nquired Ralph.
"When he was fourteen he wa
ound as an apprentice to aMr. Strut!

pinning cotton; to such a one i
beral bounty was offered. Here wa
is chance. He knew he could taki
either model or drawing, but no ol
cer could confiscate his memory ant
xperience, and with these he deterni
led to make the attempt to reproduce

imiliar. Moses Brown, of Provi
