No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.

To Tom, who was a true child of the city, who had rarely seen green grass, since the round of her life had been spent within a short distance of City Hall Park, it seemed strange. She wondered how it would seem to live in the country, and rather thought she should not like it.

Once more she felt that she had a home, humble enough, to be sure, but made attractive by kindness.

It’s the News-boys’ Lodgin’ House, on Fulton Street,” said Dick, “up over the ’Sun’ office. It’s a good place. I don’t know what us boys would do without it. They give you supper for six cents, and a bed for five cents more.”

That Tom should be very conscientious on the subject of truth could hardly be expected.

[HoratioAlgerAPUSH2018 @AlgerApush2018]

There seemed a popular sentiment in favor of employing boys, and Tom, like others of her sex, found herself shut out from an employment for which she considered herself fitted.

I mean to turn over a new leaf, and try

There are many boys, and men too, who, like Micky Maguire, have never had a fair chance in life. Let us remember that, when we judge them, and not be too hasty to condemn.

Thus the castle of each feudal chieftain became a school of chivalry, into which any noble youth, whose parents were from poverty unable to educate him to the art of war, was readily received.

The candidate was required to prepare himself by confession, fasting, and passing the night in prayer.

The institution of chivalry forms one of the most remarkable features in the history of the #Middle #Ages.
