and perhaps with wages also in proportion to the diminution
of his bodily powers.

"Who'll say you're of no account now, Adam?" said

Maggie, beyond measure proud and delighted when he
brought the news.

"Dear lass, I don't feel that it's because me being of any

more account that this good has come to us," was Adam's
answer. "In a way, I am worth less than ever. But it shows
how God cares for us, for the sake of Him that you and I
look to as our Saviour now. He never forgets the poorest
and the least of His children.

"I mean, Maggie," added he, after a little pause, "I

mean to try and fit myself a bit for my new place. It has
been given me out of thought for me—not because I'm
clever, or a scholar. I know that well enough. But I'll put in
honest work, and never grudge an extra hour, and the
children's schooling will come in and help their father."

Adam was in earnest, and by dint of much painstaking,

he became daily better fitted for his new post, and gained
higher wages still.

Margaret had once grudged her children the time for

school and lessons. But she found out her mistake. The
youngsters were quick, and made good progress; and
though she still adhered to her opinions as to their learning
a trade, instead of trying for ill-paid clerkships, she saw
them received in turns at Rutherford's, and in a fair way to
become skilled mechanics.

Mr. and Mrs. Drummond remained the firm friends of

the Liveseys, and never forgot the debt of gratitude they
owed to Adam.
 As to Sarah Evans! No fear of Mrs. Livesey ever
undervaluing her again, or of any misunderstanding
because the girl won and kept the affection of the youthful
Liveseys one and all.

There is somebody else who knows Sarah's worth, also.

It is an open secret that she would be in a home of her own
now, but for the fact that a dutiful son has been unselfishly
caring for his parents, and paving the way to future comfort
for the girl he loves by patient waiting and working.

Sarah will marry later in life than most of the working

girls she has known. Many of these have married in haste,
and too young to be fitted for such solemn duties as those
of wives and mothers. But when she goes to a husband's
home, the pair will be able to look back on filial duties
faithfully performed, and forward with confident expectation
of a happy wedded life together.

If Adam Livesey could be questioned to-day about his

own, he would say that, like Job's, God had graciously
blessed his later days more than those of his youth.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,

Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
