Richard's victory over himself was as complete as that over the
Regulators. That good resolution, kept through trial and temptation,
eventually reformed his life and character. During the spring vacation,
he spent a week at home, and rejoiced the hearts of Bertha and his
father by the evidences of his reformation. Ben wept for joy, and Noddy
Newman "couldn't tell, for the life of him, what had come over Dick."

Richard continued two years longer at Tunbrook, and maintained the high
character he had won to the last. He was a favorite with the boys, and
with the teachers. Colonel Brockridge pointed with pride to Major
Grant--which was the title of our hero during the last year of his
residence at Tunbrook--as one of the brightest ornaments of his school,
and as one of the best fruits of his system of education.

And now we must take leave of Richard Grant; and we do so with greater
regret than we should have done when his reputation was stained by
"watermelons" and "sleep-walking."

Our hero is still true to himself. As we use fictitious names, our
sympathizing readers will not be able to recognize Colonel Richard
Grant, commanding a brigade in the Army of the Potomac, at the present
time; but, true to his country in her hour of peril, he has served with
that gallant band of brave men from the commencement of the war.

If my young friends would conquer others; if they would be chosen of
men to reign in the hearts of their fellow-beings, and thus guide the
destinies of men and nations; if they would be chosen of God to do his
work in earth and heaven,--they must first conquer themselves.
