—-A. writer in the Fairtield (Me.) Jottfttitl hears a story with a moral from Roland Spring. One of the. boarders there this sui;«mer was a young try lawyer with a small practice, who eame to..the hotel with an invalid sister. A rich : old tello W" from ITui ad,eb>h ia. made his- acquaintance at the side and was pteasecj with him. mjw. v this rich old man wanted an lioucst man to send to Europe on an important business mission. He thought this young lawyer would till the v bill, but proceeded to test him first. After gaining his confidence he told jhiinW a plan he had for making money by di short but very dishonest method. The young man listened attentively, and then - firmly declined to be a party to any such arrangement. In vain the-old man-: pleaded that scores' of*men occupying high positions to day had . made tlteir start in precisely such a way. The young man was firm as a rock. The result was that the Philadelphian, being j convinced of the young rnaa’s integrity, engaged his services, and he is now on his way to'Europe.
