"Only attend this line lill I como back ; I wish to go on a short errand." Tho proposal was gladly ncceptcd. The old man wan gone so long, that the young mun began to be impatient. Meanwhile tho hungry full xnapped greedily at the baited hook, and tho young man lost all his depression in tho excitement of pull ing them in ; and, when the owner of the line returned, he had caught a lurgo number. Counting out from them as many as were in the basket, and present ing them to tho young man, said : "I fulfill my promise from the fish you havo caught, to"teach you whenever you sec others earning what you need, to wasto no time in fruitless wishing, but cast a lino for yourself."
