LETTER FROM A BOY 
MANUFACTURERS OF 
33 1C Y'O ,N T D I {.ED ETYCPI’I ON. 
Temperance lecturer — “ But, Patrick, don’t you know that every glass of liquor you 
drink drives another nail in your coffin ?” 
Patrick — “ Yes, ycr honor; but while you hev your hand on the hammer, supposin' you 
drive another nail ! ” 
My Dear Mr. Editor: —I am fourteen 
years old. I like to read the Rural New- 
Yorker— especially tlie Boys’ and <.iris’ 
Department. But I’ve been thinking it 
would be of great use to me if boys of my 
own age would only write occasionally for 
this Department and tell me how they do 
things—just as my fill her tells other farmers 
how he plants and sows, anil tills his crops. 
Why not? I don’t mean that we should 
tell eaeli other liow we work, hut bow and 
what we play There are lots of games that 
other boys know about that I know nothing 
of. Amt as 1 was sitting on the rocks fish¬ 
ing for bass to-day, with my steel hook and 
liemp line, lead sinker and alder pole, I saw 
a big black bass (1 was fishing for rock Imss) 
that I wanted and could not tempt to nibWe, 
do the heat 1 could. I knew that if Billy 
Hempstead had been with me he would 
have jerked out that fellow in a jiflin ; but 
Bii.lv would not have told me how, and I 
wish somebody would. Cannot some Rural 
boy toil me how to lisli for black bass? 
There are lots of them in our creek; and 
those city chaps come down every June 
with pole and reel, and just whip them out 
as if it were no trouble at all. I tell you, 
Mr. Editor, it. is aggravating to a country 
boy when be cannot catch the fish in his 
own brooks, to see those “ foreigners” do it. 
Now I should like some one to tell me how. 
And there are oilier tilings I should like to 
ask about. And if any boy will answer this, 
if 1 can answer any questions he may ask, 1 
will. Sam. Carter.

HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE 
“ And so the others put me down, 
There is no use of aspiration, 
Tho mealiest stall, the shortest grass, 
Thu biggest burden, too, alas! 
Is what they call my station.” 
“ Your observations, friend, arc true ; 
My darkness feels Illumination. 
You have an ear that all things hear, 
And thoughts quite worthy of a seer- 
They seem like Inspiration. 
" So let us baulk the little man, 
’Tis clear we luck appreciation. 
O emne with mo and sup some tea. 
And we’ll rejoice in sympathy, 
And mutual admiration.” 
Tom thought it looked very smart to car¬ 
ry Ids money loose in his pocket, and take 
out his quarters with an air which said, “ I 
have thousands in my pocket.” He always 
crumpled his bills into a shape fit for gun¬ 
wadding, and apparently took no posable 
care of Ids money. It was not.that money 
wan so abundant with him, but be wished 
others to suppose that it was; that it was 
quite beneath his genius to care for such 
trifling amounts. 
] )o you suppose Tom deceived anybody, 
or made any one respect him more on this 
account? He might make stable boys stare 
occasionally, but all people accustomed to 
handle money knew at a glance that he was 
possessed of a very shallow purse und shal¬ 
lower brains. 
No business man ever desires such a boy 
about bis establishment. No gentleman but 
would wish his boy to shun such an associ¬ 
ate. “ Straws tell which way the wind 
blows;” and the way a boy takes care of 
bis money pretty surely foretells kis future 
fortune. 
Successful business men did not carry 
their money loose in their jackets when they 
were boys. They were prudent of even the 
pennies. 
Some one asked Mr. Astor, in his old age, 
to tell him the secret of his great success in 
making money. 
“ Very willingly," said the old gentleman. 
“ .lu^t draw up your chair, and we will put 
out the lights, as we can talk just as well in 
the dark." 
“ O, I see ! ” said the man. “ The secret 
is unraveled. You became a millionaire by 
saving what others waste.” 
“ Vcs, the way to gain a million dollars is 
to begin by saving the cents. They will 
soon turn into dimes, and the dimes to dol- 
. lars." 
If you desire to become a millionaire, buy 
you a good strong purse large enough to 
1 hold the pennies, and let frugality furnish 
ik, you a pair of strings lor it. Then, with iu- 
^ dustryand perseverance, you may soon he 
^ able to make a good beginning for a com- 
. for table fortune .—Our Schooklay Visitor.
