Excerpt from No Gains Without Pains: A True Life for the Boys What did Samuel do with his money? Some one may have the curiosity to ask. It is pleasant to know what people do with their first earnings. As soon as he had enough, he bought a book with it, a hymn-book; and then he felt as rich and happy as could be.
