'''AiTALE FOR THE YOUNG.
BY T. S. ARTHl'R. ' ?
,A man whoJs easily disheartened rare
lytif e,ver. succeeds in any thing. If he
rise above. die common level, it is by Some
happy. accideut.. Should he venture out
upon the sea. of trade, the first cloud that
darkens the sky over his head, alarms him,
and back to die shore he goes, there to
remain until the end of life, . ..
.. Of a very different temper from, this
was Miles Higby., Even while a boy, he
exhibited the most indomitable persever
ance in hit efforts to accomplish Uny end
that he happened to have iu view. While
odier. boys were hesitating and debating
the probability of success, he had sohrd
all doubts by doing the thing under con
sideration. , ; v v ,.: - S I
At school he was never known toaban
don.the attempt to master the most diffi
cult problem. When once he, bent his
mind to the work, he never rested until
he gained a, true result. WT bile .f'low
ttudenU were referring their difficulties to
their teacher, be was struggling to over
come them, and he was. always, in the
en,d,,'successful. Sometimes this did not
take, place, until, after, repeated faiiurea ;
but all carat ou t right at last. .
Vrhe father of, Wiles Higby lived near
die bank of a large river, that was, some-
times,, much swollen by, heavy raws.
Miles was about seventeen rears oiu, anu

Alarmed aad exhausted, die two men,

clared that nothing would tempt them out

answer. We are satisfied that it is on

'Never give up," returned Uigby.

Two stout men stepped forward, inipir-

the young man, coolly, as they neared the
spot they were endeavoring to gain. ,;
" low pull hard and strong," be ad

the current bear her down as ouirdr as
possible." ' ;
Ihe united strength of; the two men

moving rapidly. While they polled with
might and main, young Uigby,. with his
oar, give the boat just die direction re

little space of comparatively still. water
above the rock, , lly this means as she
came slowly down, almost full upon the
rock, die man wat able to spring into her,
before the current, which was waiting to
catch the boat and sweep her away juatas
sbe passed close to the extreme point of the
little island, could bear her from bis reach.
He waa saved I i;:, ..,n.r..- H .u,;,
Yours is a good, motto, my young
friend," said an old man, as Uigby step
ped upon the shore. , V Let it go with
you through life Never give up 1" .
A few weeks afterwards. Miles Higby
started for New. York with twenty dol
lars in uis pocket, and a letter to an uncle
from whom, the family had not heard for
two or thtee years. 1 he unrle his fa
ther's brother was charged with the
care of Miles, and earnestly er joined to
aid bim by his advice, and in every other
way ; Uiat he possibly could. , .
On arriving in New York, Higby sought
for his uncle in vain.. Uis name was not
to; be. found inane City Directory, nor
could he meet with any one who had ev
er heard of him. . The object of the
young man was to get into a 'store, and
obtain a thorough knowledge of some
mercantile branch of business. , He had
uepenuea upon getting a situation inrougn
his node, who had resided many-years
a a - . .a t
I in the city and wat understood to have
an extensive acquaintance among ouuiesa,
men. A week's fruitless search for this Bed just the man that, be would sav pos
relative, caused Miles Higby to have tome 6esed a heart. . Slowly did Miles Hiebv
serious thoughts in regard to his future
