One frosljr morning is autumn, m Mr. Jones ihs carpenter, was going with his ®en lo work, in the town of Ashby. be met just st the entrance of lbs town, • f»<* fooed, Ihfnljr clothed boy, who, after looking at him earn estly for * b ament, asked, • • Are you a oarpenter, and do you wish an appreotioe?" •• Well, I don’t know ; what’s your name my lad?” said the oarpenter, with a kind smile. •* Charley Mason, was the answer. “ And where is your home, Master Char ley?” continued Mr. Jones. Dig teara came into the boy's bright blaok eyes, and his roioe trembled as he said; “ i h*ve no home ; my father and mother both died before I eat remember.” Mr. Jones thought of his own dear boys, and he piaeed hia hand kindiy on Charley’s head, saying, “Poor boy, where hare you lir ed!” “ With my uncle, but 1 left his house last night, determined to etarre before I would be longer dependent on a man who grudges his dead brother's child the bread he ate,” and Charley’S eya burned with a si range light. The good carpenter wiped away tha tears from hU eyes with the back of his hand, and asked f “ Do you think you can learn to be a car penter ?” *« I think 1 can fry,” said Charley, proudly drawing htosetf Op. “Ah! I like that; and if that is to be your watchword, I think you and 1 can gat on nicely; but I suppose you’re bad no break fast,” continued Mr. Jones, “ so wo must seed Tom back to show you the house, where you will stay till we eome homo to dinner, and then we will talk a little about being a car penter.” Tom, a little colored boy, who did errands for Mr. Jones, readily went back with Char Icy, taking himself the little bundle lied up in an old blue handkerchief, which contained all Charley’s earthly possessions. Mr.?. Jones proved as kiud as her husband, and the poor, (ired, hungry boy was soon enjoying u bourni • tul break fa s*. When Mr. Jones cauie home, he had a long talk *ith Charley, who finally became liisap prentice. He was to work four years for his feed and clothes, having besides the privilege of attending school four mooths in each year. “ This isn’t much lime for learning," said Charley to himself that night, “but 1 guets I cto get a chance to learn someth tag out of school ; auyhow, /can try.” And ho did try, and succeeded so well that Mr. Joues said to him at the close of the first winter, “well Charley, tha master says you are ono of the heat scholars iu school, aud be thinks we’ll make something of you by and by, with that watchword of youra; but, roy boy, do you thiuk you will like work aa well at itudy ?” “ No, sir; but I’ll work that I may study,” was the answer. All through the spring, the summer and the autumn, Charley worked, oaruestly, faithful ly, and at the close of eaoh day, tired as he was, he always contrived to ge* a little timo for ntudy. “ Say, Charley,” said Willie Jones one night, “ all the boys say you are a dull prig ; what makes you so eober? Why don’t you oorne out of an evening, and not stay moped up in the house with a book all the lime ?” “I mast itudy,” said Charley gravely. “I shall want to go to college by and by.” “Opobi pobl” laughed Willie, “that’s a good one; why father can’t send any one of us to college, and how are you going, when you don’t have anybody to help you ? “ Perhaps, I never ean, but * I oan try.” “I don’t wonder father calls it your watch word ; but do you ever expeot to know enough to go to college ? “ Yes, if I live,” said Charley seriously. “But what does a carpenter want to go to college fdr t^Jperalsted Willie , •* 1 dont see “ Willie,” said Charley, you mustn’t ask me any more questions ; but I’ll tell you, I don’t always mean to be n carpenter.” Week after week, month after month, year after year, Charley Mason kept on his course never unfkithful; he yet worked ae though he had some higher objeot in view, and night after night found him beading over his books, heedless of the sport in whleh the boys tried to make him join. The four years came to an end, and Mr. Jones now gave him wages for his labor, saying, “1 know you will be worth two hands to me, Charley/' and so he was, working and studying, now harder than ever, for he was fast reaching the point at whioh he aimed. It was well known now that Charley had decided to be a minister, and that be iris now at work to earn money to assist him la bis studies. About the time that his term as sn apprentice expired, Mr. Jones contrscted to build a ohuroh in Ashby, and of oourte Char ley was employed upon it. One dsy while they were at work ou tks roof, Willis Jones called out : “ Say, Charley, abode would think you ex pected to ptaiNb in this eliuroh, by the way you put ou those shingles.” “Stranger things than that have happen ed,” said Charley, quietly. A laugh from tbo workmen, and (ten the incident was forgot ten . j * * Charley achieved hia darling plan of enter ing college ; though la doing so, ha overcame many an obstacle at whioh even stouter hearts would have auailed, but he said, “God helps those who help themselves, and I can try.” His college life was a hard one, fir he was still dependent on hit exertions, and it would make your heart aohe to hear of his priva lions, yet he nsvercomplalnsd, bet kept earuj estly to his one purpose, and nobly has he ac- Mason is pastor of*the congregation who worship in the very church in, upon mm, f.ilhlul .(fori, you may loo Laoomallka bin. good and uaaful men. up a.—i—i -ui —i j— .i. jr. uug-egy COLORED PHOTOGRAPH*.
