      TRY, TRY AGAIN.

      TRY, TRY AGAIN.

      T is a true story that I am going to tell you now. It is about a little boy whose name was William Ross. Having had a present of a pencil, he thought he would make use of it by trying to draw.

      His first attempts were poor enough. One day, when he had been playing ball with a young friend, he stopped, and, taking out his pencil, began to draw a picture on the wall.

      What do you call that? asked his friend. Why, that is a horse! replied William: can't you see?—A horse! is it? cried his friend, laughing. Why, I took it for a donkey.

      You are quite right in laughing at it, said William. Now that I look at it again, I see it is all out of drawing; but I will keep at it till I can make a good drawing of a horse.

      William was not afraid of being laughed at; and he felt much obliged to those who pointed out any faults in what he did.
