MADE THEM ALL ASHAMED.
One day a merchant said to a little boy who was doing work about the store: “You will never amount to much; you are too small.” ' The little fellow looked up from the work-he was doing and said: “Small as I am, I can do something no one else about this place can do!” “Oh, what is that?” asked his employer. • “I don’t know as I ought to tell you,” he replied. But the employer being anxious to know urged him to tell what he could do that no one else about the place was able to do. “I can keep from swearing,” said the little fellow. There was a blush on more than one face present and no anxiety for further information from the small boy.
