THE RAGGED ROY—THE RICH MERCHANT.
on THE PLEASANT DISCOVETtV.
Business oi importance called me at one
time to t!ie great city—'.lie London of
America. I had spent the morning in
viewing tiic great Inn,dings, the City-un'l,
the great Custom-house, Trinity church,
with its tail spire, and many other public
places, so’ inicrcs ing to the stranger; and,
being much wearied with my morning**
excursion. I sought my friend’s i ntse as a
place of rest. While sitting at the dining
table, a servant handed me a note, that mo
ment left at the door by some unknown
person, which read as follows:
“Dear Sir, —Having seen your name an
nounced as one of the speakers at the Sun
day school meeting, it would give me great
pleasure to se -you at No.—, Pearl street,
this afternoon, at three o'clock. Do not
disappoint me.
Your fiiend, G 1:0nut: S.”
1 hastend to comply with tin* invitation
at the appointed hour. Crowdin ;my way
along through the multitude of people
thronging the busy street 1 , ! arrive iat l i t
at the number mentioned in the mu . 1 in
quired of the clerk for die I’ lur; and. to
my surprise, he introduced tee to the propri
o'orofa large wholes le dry-".o:b. s.t re,
one ot the first establish tunn'.” u the city.
“Sir,” said tl:o men haul, “1 believe 1 am
not mistaken ; Ibis j Mr M , tiro po.>r
student of Mr. W once my teacher in
the Sabbath school of \V- .”
“1 was a poor student, and a teacher in
the school you mentioned. l>ut this cannot
bo George S , the white haired boy,
owned as my scholar ?”
“The tame,” answered the merchant,
grasping my hand with the greatest jj>y;
and a tear tvickl 1 down his chocks. “The
same, only grown to manhood. You will
pardon my hasty note, and this abrupt
meeting; but, sir, I thought we should
never, never moot agai n mid learning that
you were in the city, I v. as uuxNus to ofh r
you the hospitalities of my home during
your stay, it it is ogre able and cons stent
with other engagements ; p'.easo order yottr
trunk to be taken to ivy lam- •; my home
is yours while you it e.ain. I caimot be
denied.”
Indeed, 1 could not demy him. With joy
I complied w ith hi peri ni>. offer; and at
his lioltse I found a hour indeed.
Ilctc it may be pro; . . to • ivn you a l.i -
tory of our first acquaint,uiei . While pi e
paring lor the ministry, it was the custom
to seek out poor children f,r the sahhtith
school. In one of my n.nhb 1 letr 1.1
little boy in llie olive t, poorly clad, with
his little bare feet ill tin- cold snow; no bat
and in the most wretched condition. ]
c ‘’led him to flic, and pr oposed the follow
ing questions: •
“What 1 your name, my little fellow?”
“My name is George S.”
“Whore do you I've 1 ”
“J:i the wood ‘, by the old mill.”
“What is your father's name?”
■t I M, a uSiAjirtU *wm um I till, r , ■■ ■
“I luWe 1.0 1 lin r, “.U Me IWST Turn
tears; “my father was brought homo dead, 1
about a year ago. Me was found frozen
to death on the road to our house.
“And your mother is she still living:
“Yes, hut site is poor, unci goes out to
work.”
“Have you any biotin it. at. 1 sisters?’
“Yes, one brother and one aster.
“Are they at home ?”
“Yes sir ; they are little ours, and cannot
go out now.”
“Well, my little follow, yon want a pair
of shoes, and some clothes.”
“Yes, sir, 1 do; hut 1 want to get some
thing for mother to cat first ”
This told the story. 1 asked no more
questions, but immediately set about the
work to bo done. George was soon in my
wagon with me, and food enough for Ins
mother’s present necessities.
On reaching their house, 1 found a lonely
woman, with two dear little ones, and noth
ing to cat. George jumped out ol the wag
on, and ran into the house, saying, ••;),
mother! mother! You will not cry any
more ; the gentleman has got us enough to
eat fur a whole mouth !”
I found, by inquiry, that the father had
been a drunkard, and died in a drunken lit,
and tire poor widow had to struggle on
alone. George, who was then about ten
years of age, the only child large enough
to be of any help to his mother, and a good
boy he was to that poor mother,
I left the house, and the next day sent a
good woman to clothes them, and get
George to attend the Sunday school the
next Sabbath. George was at school, with
new shoes, and hat, and clothes—a happy,
cheerful boy.
For one year lie was my scholar: then I
left the place, and never saw him again till
I inet him, as 1 have told you, a merchant
in a great city. God had prospered him,
giving him friends and uniiumee; and,
from an errand boy in the store, had raised
him to be the owner, lie was then twenty
four years old ; with a wife, and one little
boy a year old.
Now go back with me to New York, and
you may think that you see me seated at
tUe tire side, while he is relating the deal
ings of God with him since 1 Ich him a lit
tle boy in tiro Sabbath scho and at \V .
Soon after 1 left the place, lie was fortu
nate enough to meet h man from New York
who loved Sabbath schools. While he was
on a visit to some friends in the country,
he saw George, and being pleased with
him, offered to take him home. The moth
er consented, and George left home, with
many tears, for a place in the gentleman's
store.
By good conduct he gained the affections
of all wiio knew him. At the age at eigh
teen years lie was advanced to the station
otrlcrk, and from Clerk to partner with his
employer. When he was twenty-one years
of ago his partner died, having no children
or relations, not even a wife ; and he cave
to poor George all tho interest in the con
cer**, a *id nt once made him the owner of
some thousands of pounds. And here 1
found myself, seated with my old scholar,
m a line house, and a happy family.
lie is superintendent ot a large school for
poor boys, picked up from the streets and
lanes ot the city; a member of the church,
and much beloved by all the brethren; a
iiiati known, ton, by * lie pour and afliicted.
Every Sabbath morning, he l as a school
among the poor sailors on the dock, in a
room lie hired for the ‘purpose.
As 1 sat there, so happily rejoicing in
the goodness of God, as manifested in this
instance, I could not but ask George,
“ A here is your mother?”
“O, sir ! site went home to heaven from
my arms, in th s very room, a few months
since ; and just before she died, she gave
me a strict charge to seek you out, and, if I
1 found you to tell you her dying breath
went np to God for a blessing on vour
! head.”
“Your sister, what lots become of her,
and your baby brother?”
“O, sir, my brother lias grown up to be
a young man, and is now a clerk, and first
book-keeper in my store ; and he, too, lias
: a large class in the Sabbath school. And
triy dear sister is far away, the companion
of a devoted missionary in the West. She
was married hut a few mouths previous to
my mother’s death.” — B. 8. Advocate.
MORAL INFLUENCE On- GARDENING,
j If there were any doubt as to the influ
l cnee of gardening on the minds and gen
eral 1111 hits of the working classes, the sim
-1 pic fact that the clergy of all denominations
j are foremost in the ranks of its patrons and
, promoters, should convince ns of its beau
, tjhd tendency; but a transitory glance at
| t |ili inmates of a cottage, where the garden
. is neatly cultivated, is enough to show that
liio concomitants ot industry—comfort and
prudence -reign over die affairs of the place.
Jn a work, which we hardly recollect the
subject of, tlcro was almost a sermon corn
pri ed in a single sentence. It is strongly
impressed on our memory, and is pertinent
i *be ‘natter her “. The author says:
; “Qardeui. g is the most rational of all recre
nti ‘iis. It teaches forethought, industry,
and economy of time. Jt exerts the mind
and iiivigofnti s tin; frame, and constantly
tend mu.s 11.-; of ihe great God, whoso hand is
impriidcd in every leaf, and who, in Ids
bountiful goodness, rewards us with the
1 hubs o| the earth. To teach the cottager to
manage his garden, is to lead him to luippi
: ness. Jo induce the hivlior classes to love
; ilowir.:, is to find them innocent gratifica
j l '°"> y 1 -’ provide employment for thou*
■ safids.” I’licre is truth in every word of
lbs. “Gardening is the most rational of all
[recreations.” it is healthful, and every
i hour expended on it as an occupation, is
I 1 ewarded by the effect on crops. The iu
du iry bestowed on a garden is always
1 profitable, and the profit sweetens labor,
j li in a sorry tiling to eouioinple the hours
loot are wasted hv the laboring classes 111
1 those places where there are no gardens, j
ami it is scarcely to lie helped. What is 1
1 the man to do when ho leaves his wurlP i
It is not to lm supposed that he can sit j
no ’. u (purity lor hours, yet what can lie I
occupy his mind with? Ho may while
I away some of the time w ith reading, but
i reading, not withstanding cheap literature, j
|is expensive. Ho seeks in society the
! allurement which lie cannot find alone,
I and society can only be found at the public
house; then there is a double evil, hucuuse,
! beside the waste of precious hours, there is
i a necessary expenditure, cr perhaps he
I resorts to the skittle ground, the bagatelle
| table, or other gambling amusements, in
i which ca-o the loss to hi - family is far more
| serious. Man is a social animal, and unless
he lias occupation, he gets into mischief.
It is almost certain that a imjn widiout a
i garden goes to the public house; and lie.can
-1 not do so without spending mon v, which
| would he useful on his children's hacks, or
in the purchase of household comforts.—
I Many an industrious man, unused to tip
pi.ng, lias been totally ruined by his leisure;
| and it is much to ho regretted that there arc
no mean--'of profitably employing the inter
val between business and bed time. If a
man has his garden, he blends amusement
I with labor, and profit w r iih both. Garden
ing teaches forethought, because all the
| operations are performed with a view to the
future. Wo sow, because we desire to
i reap. We plan all our affairs with regard
to some ulterior, not a present result, and
tiiis gives us a habit of thinking and of cal
culation. A piece of ground is no sooner
cleaned of its crops, than we begin to con
sider what is the host thing to occupy it
with, and how soon it will he vacant again.
Gardening exalts the mind; of this fact
there can be no doubt, livery leaf and
dower proclaims the wisdom and goodness
of the Almighty. The man who can watch
the progress of vegetation, and the effects
: of the seasons, without being impressed
with a proper notion of his Maker's bounty,
must he insensible to every thing. Gar
-1 dening invigoruti s the frame. There is
hardly and exercise so healthful; the whole
i body is m motion in the different operations;
the digging, hoeing, and weeding, keep all
the muscles in piny; and it is admitted by
all that tlie smell of newly turned earth is
congenial to health; n fact proved also by
the longevity and healthy lives of the agri
cultural laborers. The man who loves it s
garden, wants no other amusement, an I
instead of wasting his substance in the very
i natural occupation tor his mind among
I companions similarly situated, he finds a very
shilling til his pocket, and die economy in
his household greatly assisted by the crops
in his garden; independently of which, there
is a (1 iwnright enjoyment, in every sense of
the word, from llie time the ground is dug
to the period of reaping the fruit. The
clergy have seen this, and are, therefore,
warm patrons ol the science. They have
seen, with great satisfaction, that to give a
man a garden is to give Imn profitable oc
; eupalion for his leisure hours, and keep
him out of mischief; and they have always
been foremost in the promotion to horticul
tural societies and allotments of land to the
poor. It is gratifying to see the change
that lias been made in whole towns and
villages by the establishment of horticultu
ral societies, and the encouragement of cot-

lage gardening. It is also iuJllible to
witness the improvement tbai nfew allot
ments have made; and it is muefto lie re
gretted that there are not mean ‘taken to
increase the number of gardeusfor tiiere
are very few things which con ibute so
much to the changing of idlers ad drunk
ards into useful members of socie ’. as the
means they afford of usefullv ciigajng their
