He started iu business when little more than a boy, and had what by the time he was twenty-on- e seemed to him to he be a fortune of lo.ooo. Every dollar he had worked so hard to make was all lost in one night, and ti e young mau was forced to begiu anew. He went to au inland city of New York, and at sold out his intertest in a buisneis in which he had become conm cted.and retired with 50000.

The conscientious teacher simply kills himself at the work, white the one who looks out for number one divides the brain work and drain oo nerve force ntces-sar- y to instruct one class between two classes.
