name. 1 knew Dick Iloibard well, and

when we were not yet ten years of ago,

we met together at the same country

school. It was in one of the old counties of Eastern Pennsylvania: and tho1

part of the events I am about to relate

are among my earliest recollections, yet

well do 1 remember them. 1 r mem ber poor Dick's suffering; mid ofier

I loved Dick, though few of the scholars knew it; and frequently would 1 have thrown myself "unto the breach"

to have rescued him from his umechng torturers. 1 have said that I loved my hero and that love was strong enough to bring tears when I knew that it required but a nod to bring upon him the severest punishment. But why did Dick suffer so? The question is easily answered. His parents were poor, very poor they possessed but little of this world's goods. His father was n shoc-tnakcr , and resi ded some two miles from the school house ; and like most poor people in the old countries, he was blessed with some eight or ten children, of whom Dick was the eldest. To provide ' food and rai

ment' for so many youngsters, one-half

of w hom were helpless, required exertion, because the means were limited: and though Mrs. Iloibard could not clothe her children in the best casinctts and calicoes, yet they were always neat nnd tidy; and I used to admire Dick's patched overalls nnd wamus, for they

were always cloan. 1 le was early learnt

to keep his face and nose in cider, a regulation I should be pleased to see

introduced by some parents of the pre

sent day; and in fine, meet Dick where

you would, it required but a glance to

tell that strict attention was paid to his

cleanliness and comfort.

1 have said Dick's parents were poor

ana ttus was the reason w hy h? was

made the bull of his school fellows

this was the reason why the pedagogue

chose to punish him whenever any scho

lar of wealthy parents saw fit to make coiriDlaint asrainst him and this was

the reason why I had sympathy for my

school fellow. Yet withal, I sometimes thought Dick rather a stupid fellow.1 lie made but slow progress in his studies, and i never knew him to be at the houd of the spelling class but twice in the three winters that wc both went to the same school. But I attributed his etupidness chiefly to the manner in which his spirits were borne down by

the taunts and ridicule of hie school

maics, and the famine's of the peda

gogue; and Utile did 1 dream, at that

day, that this unfortunate and unfavored boy should rise high over the then

favored sons of his father's opulent

neighbors. But he did rise, as the se

quel will show.

When Dick was in his 1 7th year, his father caught the then pervading mania

ot moving to the backwoods. lie ha

heard that it was an easy matter to live there, and he longed to bo upon his way thither. But how was he toWre with such a family of small children? lie owned but one horse, and no w agon of any description. However, all the family who could cam a few pence in the neighborhood, turned out to work, and with their earnings, and the proceeds of the sale of their litlle furniture, Dick's father was enabled to pur

chase another horse and cart, and the

family were soon upon their way to the bind of promise, the " Far West." Well do I remember when I parted with poor Dick for the last time, for I have not

seen him since. It was like parting

with a brother; and Ins absence from 6chool created with me a vacuum which could not be filled.

Six years after this c-

vent I found myself in the West, and I

then learned that Mr. Iloibard had set

tied in an interior county of Indiana.

lhe population was composed chiefly

of poor emigrants from the Eastern and

Middle States; and Dirk, instead of

being borne down by the ridicule of his

associates, was looked upon as an ac

tive, promising boy. It was Inen that

lm latent genius burst forth it had been pent up, and in a short time he had rend all the books which the coun

try could produce for miles around.

llo went through Pikes Arithmetic

four times; and unaided and alone, with a copy of Murray's Grammar, ho made

himself complete master of tho English language.

At the age of nineteen, he was solicited to teach sc'.iool; and while thus engigid his spare hours were occupied in

the study of Latin. But Dick had not

he means of obtaining an education to

lit himself for lhe study of Medicine,

a profession he had, in his own mind,

leternuncd to be master of at some lu-

dav; and his time was spent in

leaching school, reading medical works,

uid assisting his father on his farm; and

by the united cxei lions of the whole

family, Dick saw his lather m trie un

encumbered possession of two hundred

and fifty acres of excellent land.

At that time, men were much wanted to fill important civil stations ; and

although there were enough ampi qualified, yet few possessed the neces sarv spirit of forbearance and rnodera

to drop the boyish nick-name Dick.) at the ago of twenty-seven, had been elected constable, sheriff, justice cf the

the improvement of his whole nature, intellectual, moral, and phvsicial, and

how contemptibly despicable do the herd of the vulgar great appear? To a mass of dishonesty, fraud, and deceit,
