he was making it obnoxious. Time flew by fast. Samuel was twenty-one. 
The dinner hour came, and Samuel had not Jeremiah had been free two years, and he was 
yet worked out the sum. His father was one of the most accurate and trustworthy sur¬ 
veyors in the country. Mr. Winthrop looked 
upon his eldest son with pride, and often ex¬ 
pressed a wish that the other son could have 
been like him. Samuel had come home to 
visit his parents, and Mr. Young had come 
with him. 
“Mr. Young,” said Mr. Winthrop, after the 
tea things had been cleared away, “that is a 
fine factory they have erected in your town.” 
“ Yes,” returned Mr. Young, “ there are three 
of them and they are doing a heavy bittiness.” 
“1 understand they have an extensive ma¬ 
chine shop connected with the factories. Now 
if my boy Sam is as good a workman as you 
say he is, perhaps he might get a first rate sit¬ 
uation there.” 
Mr. Young looked at Samuel and smiled. 
“ By the way,” continued the old farmer, 
“what is all this noise I hear and see in the news¬ 
papers about those patent Winthrop Looms. 
They tell me they go ahead of anything that 
was ever got up before.” 
“ You must ask yon son about that,” return¬ 
ed Mr Young. “That is some of Samuel’s 
business. 
“Eh? What? My son? Some of Sam—” 
The old man stopped short and gazed at his 
son. He was bewildered. It could not be 
that his son—his idle son—was the inventor of 
the great power loom that had taken all the 
manufacturers by surprise. 
“ What do you mean?” he at length asked. 
“It is simply this, father, that this loom is 
mine,” returned Samuel, with a look of con¬ 
scious pride. “ I invented it, and have taken a 
patent right, and I have already been offered 
ten thousand dollars for the right of patent in 
two adjoining States. Don’t you remember 
that clap-trap that you crushed with your foot 
six years ago ?” 
“Yes,” answered the old man, whose eyes 
were bent to the floor, and over whose mind a 
new light seemed to be breaking. 
“ Well,” continued Samuel, “that was almost 
a pattern of the very loom 1 have set up in the 
factories, though, of course, 1 have made much 
alteration and improvement, and there is room 
for improvement yet.” 
“And that was what you were studying 
when you used to stand and see me weave, 
and when you used to fumble about my loom 
so much,” said Mrs. Wint hrop. 
“ You are right, mother. Even then I had 
conceived the idea I have since carried out.” 
“ And that is why you couldn’t understand 
my mathematical problems,” uttered Mr. Win¬ 
throp, as he started from his chair and took 
the youth by the hand. “ Samuel, my son, 
forgive me for the harshness I have used to¬ 
wards you. I have been blind, foolishly so, 
and now see how I misunderstood you. While 
I thought you were idle and careless, yon were 
solving a philosophical problem that I never 
could have comprehended. Forgive me, Sam¬ 
uel—Hmeaut well enough, but 1 lacked judg¬ 
ment and discrimination. 
Of course the old man had long before been 
forgiven for his harshness, and his mind was 
open to a new lesson in human nature. It was 
simply this: 
Different minds have different capacities, and 
no mind can he driven to love that for which 
it has no taste. First, seek to understand the 
natural abilities aud dispositions of children, 
and then iu your management of their educa¬ 
tion for after life, govern yourselves according¬ 
ly. George Combe, the greatest moral philos¬ 
opher of his day, could hardly reckon in simple 
addition, and Colburn the mathematician could 
not write out a common place address! 
EARLY CHARACTER. 
“ There is nothing I despise so much as to 
see a boy with a cigar in his month.” Thus 
remarked one of the wealthy aud most respect¬ 
ed business men of East Boston, standing at 
the door of the Post Office waiting for the dis¬ 
tribution of letters, as a boy walked in, puffing 
a cigar. Sympathising somewhat with the 
gentleman, we fell into the following reflections: 
We imagined that in the course of human 
events, this boy might be induced to apply at 
the gentleman’s countingroom for employment. 
The merchant’s remembrance of his act of 
youthful dissipation would probably not be to 
the benefit of the applicant. The merchant 
would be likely to judge unfavorably of the 
young man’s character as to temperance and 
sobriety, and would think himself justified in 
doubting the independence and stamina of one 
who, evidently for no better reason than be¬ 
cause others do, and probably because he 
thought it would give him a manly air, con¬ 
tracted the offensive and unnatural habit of 
smoking in boyhood. The very act would 
seem to argue mental or moral deficiency, and 
perhaps both. Little things are sometimes at¬ 
tended with great results. The merchant 
(like a majority of well-bred people) is exceed¬ 
ingly annoyed with the smell of cigar smoke, 
lie despises the practice of smoking, and can¬ 
not help noticing the boy who exhibits it, or 
thinking, in such case, what the mental mani¬ 
festation is. With the boy, the act was a trifle, 
Dothing. To the man it was a revelation 
which told him something of a youth of whom 
he knew nothing before, and that something 
was to his discredit. 
How different would have been the result, if 
the first act of this boy noticed by the mer¬ 
chant had been one that as plainly spoke of in¬ 
tegrity and good sense, as the act of smoking 
did of weakness and frivolity of character.— 
The man would have remarked that boy; and 
if it should ever have come in his way to ren¬ 
der him a service, no testimonials would be 
needed to secure his favor. 
We would fain impress upon the young the 
great importance of forming good habits. One 
may forsake his boyhood’s errors when he be¬ 
comes a man; but the chance is that, instead 
of being forsaken they will be agravated, and 
take on a rigidity which is like second nature ’ 
to the iudividual, as he advances into man¬ 
hood. Knowing this, people judge of young 
men by what they knew of them when boys,— 1 
unless a subsequent acquaintance gives them 
better ground lor the formation of an opinion
