THE BOY who SAYS " WE."
Don't laugh at the boy who magnifies his place. You may see hi u oommsr from the post oflico with a big bundle of his employer's letters, which he displays with as much pride as if they were his own. Ho feels important, and he looks it. But he is proud of his place. He is attending to business. He like? to have th« world know that he is at work for a busy concern. The boy who says " we " identifies himself with the concern. Its interests are his. He sticks up for its credit and reputation. He takes pleasure in his work, and hopes to say "wo" in earnest. The boy will reap what lie sows if ho keeps his grit and sticks to his job. You may take off your hat to him as one of the future solid men of the town. Let his employer do the right thing by him ; check him kindly if he shows signs of being too big for his place ; counsel him as to his habits and associates ; and occasionally show him a pleasant prospect of an advancement.— Exchange.
