home, Squire. He has supplied me with the money."

"You don't say! Where is he? Been a-doin' well, has he?"

"Harry!"

Harry entered the room, and nodded rather coldly to the squire, who was
disposed to patronize him, now that he was well dressed, and appeared to
be doing well.

"I'm glad to see ye, Harry. So you've made money, have ye?"

"A little."

"Hev you come home to stay?"

"No sir; I shall only stay a few days."

"What hev ye been doin'"

"I am going to be a printer."

"You don't say! Is it a good business?"

"I think it will be," said Harry. "I can tell better by and by."

"Well, I'm glad you're doin' so well. Neighbor Walton, when you want
another cow I'll do as well by you as anybody. I'll give you credit for
another on the same terms."

"If I conclude to buy any, Squire, I may come round."

"Well, good night, all. Harry, you must come round and see me before you
go back."

Harry thanked him, but did not propose to accept the invitation. He felt
that the squire was no true friend, either to himself or to his family,
and he should feel no pleasure in his society. It was not in his
nature to be hypocritical, and he expressed no pleasure at the squire's
affability and politeness.

I have thus detailed a few of Harry's early experiences; but I am quite
aware that I have hardly fulfilled the promise of the title. He has
neither lived long nor learned much as yet, nor has he risen very
high in the world. In fact, he is still at the bottom of the ladder. I
propose, therefore, to devote another volume to his later fortunes, and
hope, in the end, to satisfy the reader. The most that can be said thus
far is, that he has made a fair beginning, and I must refer the reader
who is interested to know what success he met with as a printer, to the
next volume, which will be entitled:
