ised to provide for, summoned his son to
accompany him home. Tommy arose, and with the sincerest gratitude bade
adieu to Harry and all the rest. "I shall not be long without you," said
he to Harry; "to your example I owe most of the little good that I can
boast: you have taught me how much better it is to be useful than rich
or fine; how much more amiable to be good than to be great. Should I
ever be tempted to relapse, even for an instant, into any of my former
habits, I will return hither for instruction, and I hope you will again
receive me." Saying this, he shook his friend Harry affectionately by
the hand, and, with watery eyes, accompanied his father home.

THE END.
