; Mr. Solomon Wluthrop was a plain
old farmer an niHtrr, preebe man
i who did even-thing by e-d-ibiisSicd

I people should grp at aiiythlng he-

4mnmlalii aoveiiteen yean old ; Bam
j uel fifteen; lamiv fourteen.
It wits a cold winter's day. Samnel
was in the kitchen, reading book.
i and so interested win he that he did
' not notice llw entrance of bis father.
Jerry was hi the opposite corner, en
gag, din ciphering out a stun which
he had found In bis arithmetic.
"Sam.'" said Ids falht r. "have you

"No. father,'' an swt rctl the boy hes-

' Mr. W futTiSm in a severe tone.
Samuel hllnff dow n Lis bend and

"I can't do it, fuher," tremblingly
said Samuel.
"Can't do It! And why not? Look
at Jerry, there, wiih hi; slatettiid ien-cil-3
lie had ciphered further than you
have long before he was as old as yttu
are."
"lorry was always fond of sums and
problems, father. They have no iuter
( -t at all fit me."
"i'hat's because you don't try to
feel an Interest In yourittudies, What
book is that you are rending?"
"it's a work on philosophy, lather."
"A work on fiddlestick ' Oo put it
away this instant, and then get your

and Sttt down In the

his eyes nidi der.ed. for be

toward 4 him. and
he felt that it was
without a cause.
"Sam," Siihl Jerry, as ?oo:i as tbelr
fatlicr luul gone out ol the room, "I'll
do that (-tun lor you."
"No, Jerry,"" replied the younger
brother, witii a grateful look; "that
will be deceiving father. I'd tW to
do the simi, but! fear that 1 shall not
succeetl.
Samuel worked very lianl, but to no
purpose. His mind was not on the
subject before him. The roots and

Samuel was a bright boy, and tin- j to measure it or lay it out. Jerry will
commonly intelligent for one of his ! soon be able to take my place as sur-
nge. Mr. tvintlirop was ti uiorougn
in itbematieian ; he baldly ever came
across a problem he could not solve,
and he desired that his boy should be
like him ; lie considered that the acme
of educational perfection lay in the
power of conquering Euclid; and he
often expressed the opinion that, were
l.iielul living then, lie could "give the

II
scemetl not to lUKler-tai.il that 1
w ....
dillereut minds were made with differ
ent capacities, ami what one mind
grasped with case another of equal
power would fail to comprehend.
Hence, because Jerry progressecl rap
idly with Ins mathematical studies,
and could already survey a piece ot 1
land of many tingles, he Imagined that
as Samtutl made no progress in the
same branch, he was idle and careless, j
mill so treated him accordingly. He
never va mildly conversed with hi3
younger sou, with a view to ascertain
I he true bent of his mind ; but he had ;
his own standard of the power of all
minds, and he pertinaciously adhered 1
to it. ""1
There was another thing that Mr. j
Wlnthrop could not see, and that was j
that Samuel was continually pondering
upon such profitable matter as was in- j
teresthtB to him, and that he was !

see, cither, that 11 he wished Ins boy to
become a mathematician, he was pur
suing the very course to prevent such
a result. Instead of endeavoring to
make the study interesting to the child
he was making it OlNjAXiODj.
""'l'lio dinner hour came, and Samuel
had not worked out the sum. lis
RltttcT was angry, and obliged the boy
go without hi, dinner, at the same
time telling him that be was an idle,
lay lad.
Poor Samuel left tiio kitchen for his
own room, and there he sat. and cried.
At length his mind seemed to pas
from the wrnmr he had suffered at the
hand of his father, and his face light-j
ened up. There wa.-t .1 lire in the room ;
below his chamber, so he was not very
cold; and getting up, he went to
closet and from under a lot of oltl
clothes he took forth some long strips 1
ot wood, lie was evidently lasmonuig
some curious affair from tliac pieces of
wood, lie had bits of wire, little
scraps of tbi plate, pieces of twine and
dozens of small wheels that lie had
made himself, and he seemed to lie
working to get the whole together after
some particular foslliou of his own.
Half the afternoon had thus passed
away when his si ,ter entered his cham
ber, she bad her apron gathered up
in tier baud, and after clo-mg the door
softly behind lier she approached the
spot where her brother sat.
"Here, Sammy, see, I liave brought

The hoy was too foil of grief to
make any explanation, ami without
any word he left his chamber. But
for long, long days afterwards he was
weary and down-hearted.
"Samuel." aid Mr. Wlntlirop, one
dayafier the .-initio had opened, "I

Mr. Y'oung was a Wacjcanith in a

with his taibcr's proposal, and when
be learned that Mr. Young carried 011 j
quite a large machine shop, he was in j
ecstacies. "His trunk was puked a
good supply of clothes having been i
provided, and, after kissing his mother i
and sfater, and shaking bauds with his ,
Cither and brother, mounted the stage ;
and set off for his new destination. 1
He found Mr. Young all he could j
wish, and went into his limitless with 1
an assiduity that surprised his master. 1
One evening alter Samuel Wmthrep
had beeu with his new master six
months, the hitter came into the shop
Mtcrall the journeymen liad quit work

ISisily engaged in litiing a piece of

destined use. Mr. ioung ascertained
what the voting workman was up to,
and be not only encouraged him in his
undertaking, but he stood for hall' an
hour anil watched him at his work.
Next day Samuel Winthrop was re
moved from the blacksmith shop to the
machine shop.
Samuel cften visited ids parent. At
the end of two years his father was
not a little surprised when Mr. Young
informed liinrthat Samuel was the
iiio.-t useful hand in his employ.
Time flew fust. Samuel was twenty
one. Jeremiah had been free almost
two years, and was one of the most
accurate and trustworthy surveyors in
the country.
Mr. Winthrop looked upon lifa eldest
sou with pride and often expressed a
wisli that hi oilier son should liave
been like him. Samuel liad come
homo to visit Ids parents, and Mr.
Young had come w ith him.
' Mr. Young," said Mr. Winthrop,
after the tea things bad been cleared
away, "tliat fa a Sue factory they liave
just creeled in your town."
" YeW returned Mr. Young,
"there are three of them, ami they
are doing a very heavy business."
I understand they have an exten
sive machine shop connected with the
fact oi ic 4. Now, if my boy Sam is a
good workman, as you say lie is. per
haps he might get a first rate situation
there."
Mr. Young looked at Samuel and
smiled.
" By the way," continued the old
firmer, "what is all the noise I see and
bear In the papers about those patent
V hit hrop looms ? They tell me they
go nheau of anything that was ever
got up before."
" You must ask your son about
that," said Mr. Young. "That fa
some of Samuel's business."
" EhMVhat! some of Stun .'
The old man st6pied short and
gawd on his son. ttt was bewildered.
It could not Ik that Id son his idle
son was the inventor of the great
power loom that had taken all the
manufacturers by surprise.
" What do you meau?'v be at
length iuiiulrt il.
"It is simply this, father, that the
loom is inhi- , " retuniKl Samwl w ith
conscious pride. " I have Invented It
and taken a putettt right, and I luivo
already la:en offered ton thousand dol
lars for the patent right in two ad
joining States. Don't you ivmcinber
the ciap-trap you crushed with your
foot six years ago-'"
" Yes. replied the old man, whose
eyes ware bent to the tloor, and over
w hose mind a new light seemed beam
ing Well," continued Samuel, that
WAS almost a iinftcrn, thousrh of
course I have made alterations aud
improvements, and there fa room for
more."
"And that was what you were
studying when you used to statu aud
see me weave, and then fumble about
my loom so much;" said Mrs. Mu
throp. You are right, mother. Even
then I laid conceived the Idea which 1
have since carried out."
"And that fa why you could not
understand my mathematical prob
lem," uttered Mr. Wlnthrop, as he
started from his chair and look the
youth by the hand. "Samuel, my son,
forgive me lor the hardness 1 have
used towards you. I have been blind
ed, but now see how i have iiil-u,iiicr-stood
you. While I have thought you
heedless and careless, you were solv
ing a philosophical problem 1 could
never liave comprehended. Forgive
me, Samuel I meant well enough,
hut lacked judgment and discrimina
tion." Of course the old man had long !x
fore beeu forgiven lbr his harshness,
ami his mind was opened to a new
lesion In human nature, it wasflinp
ly this : Different minds have differ
ent capacities, aud no mind can be
driven to love that for Which it has no
taste. First, seek to undersbuid the
natural abilities and disposition of

govern yourself accordingly, George
Combe, the greatest, mora, philosopher

mathematician, could not w rite out a
