Orison Swett Marden：Pushing to the Front, Excerpt 251

"My father got me a place in the nearest town,--Summerside,--a village of about one thousand inhabitants. For my first year's work I was to receive thirty dollars and my board. Think of that, young men of to-day! Thirty dollars a year for working from seven in the morning until ten at night! But I was glad to get the place. It was a start in the world, and the little village was like a city to my country eyes.
