PREFACE.

THE natural progress of this series has brought us to a period in the
history of our young friends, when, instead of labors in a measure
voluntary, pursued at home, amid home comforts, they toil for exacting
masters or the public, enter into competition with others, feel the
pressure of responsibility, learn submission, and are tied down to
rigid rules and severe tasks. The manner in which they meet and sustain
these new and trying relations shows the stuff they are made of; that
the fear of God in a young heart is a shield in the hour of temptation,
the foundation of true courage, and the strongest incentive to manly
effort; that he who does the best for his employer does the best for
himself; that the boy in whose character are the germs of sterling
worth, and a true manhood, will scorn to lead a useless life, eat
the bread he has not earned, and live upon the bounty of parents and
friends.
