About thirty years ago. said .Judge I'-, I stepped into a bookstore in Cincinnati in search of boiuo books that I wanted. "While there, a little ragged boy, not over twelve years of age, came in and inquired for a geography. "Plenty of them," said the sidesman. "How much do they cost?" "G ne dollar my lad." The little fellow drew back in dismay; and taking bis little baud out of bis pocket, he commenced to count some pennies and liltlo pieces of silver th;.t he had held until they were all damp with sweat. Three or four times he- counted them j at last looking up and sayiuy : "1 didn't know- th^y were 80 much," he turned to go out, and even opened the door, but clou d it again and came back. "1 have only got sixty-two cents,'' Baid he. "you couldn't let me have a geography, and wait a little while for the rest of the money V Huff eagerly his little bright eyes looked up for the answer,, and how ho seemed to shrink with his ragged clothes, when the man, not very kindly told him that he could not do it. The disappointed* little fellow looked up to me with a very poor attempt at a smile, and then loft the store. I followed and overtook him. ??And what now ?" I asked kindly. ?Try another place, sit." '?Shall 1 go too and see how you sue eeed ?" 1 asked. "Uh, yes, if you like," said ho iu sur ? prise. Four different stores I entered witli ; him, though none of them knew that we came together, aud each time he was re fused. '?Will you try again ':" I asked biui it! we left the fourth. k'Ycs,t>ir; I shall try them all. or l) shouldn't know whether I could get one ur not." AVc cnieivd the Hllh ctoic. and tin.-lit tlo fellow walked up inanlully ?nd told the gentleman just what l>e wanted and ; how much money be hud. J "You want the book very much ?' j asked tho proprietor. "Yes, sir ; very much ! ' Why do you want it no very, very ; much V ? ??To study, sir; 1 can't goto school, but 1 study when 1 can at home. All tho boys have got one, and they will j?ct ! ahead of me. Besides, my lather was a \ sailor, and I want to know ubout the places where he used t-? go." "Does he not go to thofse places now '{" j "He is dead," said the h. y softly. Then he added, after a while ; "! going to he a sailor, too. "Are you though?" a-?ked the pent!-' man. raising hi eyebrows curiously. "Yea, sir; if 1 live." "Well, my lad, I'll toll you whit I will do ; 3 will ^ive you a new geography, and you can pay me the remainder ol the money when yon can. or 1 will let you have one that is not new for fifty cents." "A.r<3 the leaves all in it, and just like ii.. ?her?, onlv rtf**t new?" "Yes. sir. just the new on"'-" "It will do just as well tm.:1- ??k I'll have twelve cents left toward buying some other books; 1 cm glad they didn't let me have any t.t the other places !" The bookseller looked .Ufr inquiringly j und I told him what 1 had SCO It oi the little fellow. He was inutbed pleased, and when be brought the book along, 1 saw a nice new pohcil, ami some eloau, white piper in it. A present, my lad, for your persevc rencc.

"More than over i can get," he re plied, taking iu at one glance the hooks that filled the shelves. I gave Hi ill a bank note. "It will buy some for you," said I. Teats oi' joy came into his eyes. ?Can 1 buy what I want with it'{" "Yen my lad, anything." "Then I'll buy one hook for mother." said he. "I thank you very much, and some day 1 hope 1 can pay you back." lie wanted my name, and I gayo it ot him.
