You'rt not going to have my books, loan tell you So do you just let them nlone." Poor James' heart snnk in his bosom n this unexpected obstacle so suddenly throwi ill his why. ITo harl no money of his own t< buy, and knew of 110 ono from whom h< could borrow the book that had nil at ono become necessary to his happines-s. "Do Harmau," he said appealingiy, "lend m< til A lmrklr T will ful/n oa^/I " ? " , - ... "No, T won't ; am! don't xo9 dare t< touch it," was the ntigry reply. James Wallace knew well enough tht selfish disposition of his master's son, olde than he two or three years, to be convince*, that there was now but little hope of hii having the use of his bookrf, except bj stealth; and from that his natural, open am honest principles revolted. All day In thought earnestly over the means whereby he should be ablo to obtain a book on as tronomy, to quench the ardent thirst tha he had created in his mind. 'And nigh came without any satisfactory answer being obtained to his earnest inquiries of his owi thoughts. He was'learning the trade of a blind-ma kcr. Having been already an apprentice for t wo years, and being industrious and in telligent, hehad acquired a readiness will tools and much skill in some parts of hi. trade. While sitting alone after lie Ii:u finished his work for the day, his mine searching about for some means whereby h< could get books, it occurred to him that hi might, by working in the evening, earnsomi money, and with it buy such as ho wanted Hut in what manner to obt#C>^) work In knew not. It finally occurred to him that in passing a .house near the shop, he fro quently observed a pair of window-blind with faded hangings and soiled color* "Perhaps," eaid he to himself, "if I coult do it cheap, they would let me paint am put up new hangings to their blinds." Tlio thought wa9 scarcely suggested when ho was on his feet moving toward the street. In - a few minutes lie stoot knocking at the door of the house, whirl wns soon opened. "Well, my little man what do 5*ou want ? " was the kind snlutn tion of the individual who answered ihi call. . James fult confused, and stammered out '"The hangings of your blinds arc a gooi deal faded." "That's a very true remark, my litth man," was the reply made in an eneourng ing tone. "And they very much want painting." "Also Very true,".6aid tlio man, with;-i good-humored smile; for ho felt am'usei with tho boy's earnest manner and uoveltj of speech. j "Wouldn't you like to havo tliem paint ed, and new hangings put to them ?" pur wed iJamcs. "I don't know. It would certainly .;irti prove them much.1' ' - "Oh, yes, sir; they would look just lik< new: And if you will, let me do tliena, ] will fix;them up nice .for you, cheap."

Uj , It occurred just at this time that a nura- y< 1 bar of benevolent individuals established, d< > in the town where Jaui?s lm-d, one of t thaw exuelleBt institution?, an Apprentice's **' - Library. To this he at onoe applied, and b ; obtained the books he needed. And thus? c none dreaming of his devotion to -the ac- p I quirenient of knowledge?did Ihispoorap- io prentice boy lay tho foundation of future P i eminence and usefulness. We cannot trace his course, step by step, through a long series of seven years*, though it would of- g1 t ford mnny lessons of perseverance and tri-' i umph over almost insurmountable difficul > tie?. lint at twenty-ouo lie was master of w a his trade ; and what was more, had laid up L a vast amount of general and scientific in- *u ? formation. He was well read in history ; - had studied thoroughly the science of as- '? tronomy, for which he ever retained a live- n ^ fy affection ; was familiar with mathemat- 'a ical principles, and could readily solve the ! most difficult geomfctrienl and algebraic w r problems; his geographical knowledge was sl! I minute; and to this he added tolerably cor- *-" 3 rect information in regard to the manners * and customs of nations. To naturul histo- !n 1 ry lie had also given much attention. But ^ 3 with all Ins varied acquirements, James 11 Wallace felt, on attaining the ago of man* Ijpod, that ho knew comparatively but little. 83 1 Let us now turnrfbr a few moments to t mark the progress of tho young student in ? one of the beat seminaries in his nativo city, 1 and afterwards at college. Like too many to tradesmen whose honest industry and steady P( " perseveianee have gained 'them a cotnpe- 1,1 - tencc, Mr. Lee felt indisposed to give his at " sou a trade, or to subject him to the same ^ 1 restraints and discipline in youth to which Pf 5 he had bc?*n subjected. He felt nmbitinus l'' 1 for him, and determined to educalc him for 1 one of the learned professions. To this end R 1 he sent him to school early, and provided 2 for him' tho be*t instruction. 5 Tho idon. tliat h? vvn<? to a Imrr*. / ... ? tr - -- - ? v" "| doctor, Boon took possession of the mind of c: s Harman, and this caused him to feci con- w ? tempt for other boys who were merely de" signed for trade? or storekeeping. Like 5 too many others, lie had no lovo for loarn' ing, nor any right appreciation of its le- vn ' gitimate uscb. To bo a lawyer he thought ^ would bo much more honorable than to be a more mechanic; and for this reason alone, ? as far as he had any thoughts on the sub- ,n s ject, did he desire to be a lawyer. As for 86 ' James Wallace, lie, as tho pocfr illiterate ap- ev 1 nrenticG of his father w.i<? moti- Imoi-iJI.r v* I # ' - "-f *"J "W- . ? spiaed, and never treated by llannan with ln ' the smallest degrco of kind consideration, i1* a At the ago of eighteen, lie was pent away ,n to one of tho eastern universities, and there nt i remained?except during the semi-annual 96 1 vacations?until ho was twenty yesrs of "J age, when ho graduated, and came home i with the honorary title of A. 1J. At this * " time James Wallace was between seven- f"' teen and eighteen years of age, bomewhat 'll rough in appearance, .but with a sound . 1 mind in a sound body?although each day 1 he regularly toiled at tho work-bench, and ' as regularly -returned to his books when J1! evening released him from labor, and was m " up at the peep of dawn, to lay the first of-i * ferings of his mind upon the shrine of learn- ^ ing. But'all this devotion to' the acquire* ment of knowledge won for him jjo Bym- n pathy, r.o honorable estimation from his rt, 1 rt laser's Son.

Instantly Harraan Leo was on hia feet, id began referring to the points presented f his "very learned brother" in a flippant, oMeroptuous manner. There were tbore resent who marked the light that kindled i the eye* of Wallace, and the finsh that ossed over his countenance, at the first conmptuous word and toue thnt were uttered f his antagonist at the bnrv Tlieao soon ire place to the ntteution, and an air of )Dscious power. Once on liis feet, with so nisy a position to tear SdIo tatters as that hieK Lis "learned brother" had presented, ee seemed never to grow tireil o: the tearg process. Nearly an lionr had pn?3ed -vay, when he resumed his seat with a ok of exultation, which wa9 followed by pitying, and contemptuous smile as Walce again slowly roif. Ten minutes, however, had not pnnsed hen tlmt smile had changed to a look of irpriae, mortification, and alarm, all b!end1 into a single expression. The young wyer's maiden speech showed him to be a an, of calm, deep, avstcmatic thought? * ' * ?**? *tll skilled in points of law and in authorits; and, more than al!> a lawyer of pracjal and comprehensive views. When he t down, no important point in the case id been k;ft, untouched, and none that had ;en touched required further elucidation. uw iuhuiycu unciiy, in a vain attempt to vturc hia language nnd brcnk dowu his jsitions. But he ft!t tli.'.the was contendg with weapons whose edges were turned every blow. When he took hia soat again, 'nllace merely remarked that he was preircd, without further argument, to submit e case to the court. Tho case was accordingly submitted, and decision unhesitatingly made in favor of e plaintiffs, or Wallace's clients. From that hour James Wallace took his ue position. The despised apprentice beime the able nnd profound lawyer, and rs esteemed for veal talent anil real mor worth, which, when combined, ever place eir possessor in his true position. Ten years from that day Wallace wnB eleited to the bench, while Lee, a second rate wyer, never rose above that position. Iu the histories of these two pcrioni is on the difference between simply receivg an education, as it is called,., and being If-educated. This fact every student, and ery humble apprentice with limited ad inlxgea, should bear in mind. It bIiouIc! fuse now life into the studies of the one, id inspire the oilier with a determination to ibue his mind with'lcoowludge.
