32 truthful. I have not flattered his character—1 have only la- bored to do him justice. I could wish that lie had wealthy relations, for I think he might be educated, and under pro- per care made an accomplished man. I should be pleased to get another boy, if I was sure of getting one as good as G. Permit me to tender my thanks for the selection made for me. B. B. G. KENT Co., Nov. 30, 1865. A's health is very good. He has regularly attended day shool, Sabbath school and church. His moral disposition and habits are good. He is quite apt at, books or business on the farm. His character for industry, obedience and truth- fulness is good, and he promises to he a useful man. It gives me much pleasure to say that A. is rather an exception to most boys for his good qualities. E. P. J. W. VIRGINIA, Nov. 29, 1865. I am very sorry to say that the late war has left us with- out schools or churches, and in consequence have not beern able to send A. to either; yet his moral disposition and habits are very good. We will now soon have oar Churches and Schools re-organized—he shall then have the benefit of both immediately. He has been studying his books at home, and I find him very apt both at these and his employments, He has improved very much in Ins knowledge about fanning. He is very, if not even remarkably industrious, and is obedient, "but like most boys of his age sometimes tells an untruth, yet it is not often, and I hare almost broken him of it. He is very trusty and more than all, very honest. The promise bids fair for his becoming a good and. useful man, S. R. CARROLL Co., Dec., 12, 1865. C. B. attended. Sabbath. School regularly all last season. During the winter we have none. I am sending him at pres- ent to day school, and he goes to Church regularly. His moral disposition and habits are good, though I think if left to himself to do as he thought best, they might be otherwise, He, is disposed to learn, and at his trade I have no doubt I will make a workman of him. I think I can truly say, that he has improved in many respects since he has been under my care; and to use the expression of some of my neighbors, he is not like the same Ivy. He is industrious, obedient and I think I can depend on him for being truthful, and I have no doubt but he will make a useful man. J. D. |
