Julius will be remembered by mar.y of my readers mfeaving played a prominent part in the story of Slew ac Sure. Circumstances rendering it desirable for him te leave the city, he goes to the West in one of the companies which are sent out periodically under the auspices of th Children s Aid Society, an admirable association, whose efficient work in redeeming and saving to society the youn waifs of the city streets cannot be overestimated. I have endeavored, while giving characteristic sketches. of Julius and his companions, to show how, in his new surroundings, my young hero parts with the bad habits contracted im bis vagabond life, and, inspired by a worthy ambition.. labors to acquire a good education, and to qualify himself fera respectable position in society. Though he may have been unusually fortunate in his new home and friends, the result in his case is by no means exceptional.
