Bluevale
IN THE Tanwu' Fi/LD.—From a
publication called "Plast and West"
the follu)viu clipping is taken from
the pen of Clayton Duff, a web known
youug man of the village, relating,
auiong numerous others, to how the
yvritee'e first money was earned and
spent, Mr. Duff being one of the prize
winners in the contest :—I eal'ned nay
Bret money hoeing turnips. Most of
us fellows began our , fortunes hoeing
turnips. "Botany, a knowledge of
pplate, Corte out bo my ]dace next
Summer and hoe totems,' was the
way our schoolmaster aa ed Mr.
Squeers, But I got a good deal mora
out of my first job than a keowledge
of plants. I came to realize the
length of time a real, earnest July,
day could occupy, and the space of
which a detente -tied ten -acre field was
capable. There was less protest after
over the common or "garden variety"
of toil. Fifty cents, and being able to
call the sebool teacher "Sandy,"
heightened my importance awhile.
Then, as a birthday gift to a female
relative, I bought 'Peck's Bad Boy."
It seemed a wise investment, as I
would get reacting the book first my-
self, But, on my way home with my
purchase, I was led to fondly display
it on a critical doorstep. The mirth
caused by my intended gift to a lady
made nae hurry to exchange lt. But,
in substituting "The Sketch Book," I
did not allow the recipient to over-
look the sacrifices boys were forced to
make to the pitiable literary tastes of
her sex.
