THE heart of the young man beats high. He has worked for years at his invention, and now the time has come for its being revealed to the world; but first of all he shows it to one on whom he relies for advice, and on his recommendation rests the knotty point whether or no there is novelty in it, and he is likely to succeed. The model is uncovered, the friend sits still, and with steady eye looks over the wheels and machinery ; then, turning to the young man, he praises him for his cleverness and invention, and tells him his invention is all he could wish it to be. In the history of inventions you will find many passages like this, and read there how young men have toiled bravely to benefit mankind, and were, by God's blessing, in some instances rewarded by both rank and fortune.
