Excerpt from A Teacher's Tribute Some years ago, there was a boy, in the village of Y named Frank. He was left an orphan, and without property or friends; and his attention was early turned to the means of obtaining a living. As no opening appeared for him m his native town, he went to the City, where youth from the country are so often corrupted by evil communications, and led to ruin. The first situation he obtained was that of a waiter in a public-house, where he had many temptations. The principal business of the house was during the night. One morning, Frank found a pocket book, containing money to a considerable amount, which had been lost by one of the customers, who, it seems, spent the night in bad company.
