every men and endeavor early in youth to nnd out what i could do best and learn to use my eyes ears brains and limbs to some advantage to others as well as myself i should feel that if i could not be the king i could be an honest woodcutter doing the work so deftly and well that double pay should be mine and my labor would be in de mand and then early in youth is just the lime to begin self denyings and shjw- tiing hurtful habits beginning with ssvytng nor to the schoolmate who should iask me io read the trashy books full of itrmosslble adventures for the youths instead of mastering the dry arithmetical problems though the teacher might not be looking and the book appeared interesting another resolve wul prove a dinv cult task but i certainly shouldnt sleep late in the morning though

clothing toys boys should know the money value of comforts and luxuries and to early help themselves to be just but not miserly it requires resolution for both big and utue boys to pass windows full of temptlnc candies and fruits beautiful marbles and tos when few pennies are saved until s suffici ent sum is gotten together a good paper or interesting book can be or dered which is a constant delight and helper toward future benefits our canadian young people are ac cused of lacking veneration and re spect for the aged a boy seeking to turn over a new leaf upon new years day cannot afford to forget this point courtesy and good manners are often the means of smoothing the whole lifepath of tne boy and man by good manners i ao not mean fop pishness but a manly respectful bear- ins and deference paid to the wishes cf others the aged should claim attention first it is only the savage who shelve the old folks when their usefulness is over assumed courtesy is easily detect ed there is only one way to wear it as a wellfitting garment and that is to treat well every man worn and child and i must add the dumb animals these latter learn quickly vbat good treatment means by doing the kindly leellng becomes sec ond nature and the outside courtesy easy and not strained to curb the hot quick temper and restrain bitter biting words when an gered or wounded is an uphill diffi cult task and many failures must cbcur before tne haughty spirit can be ruled yet perseverance makes this resolve posssble no the boy i have pictured is not a muff his laugh and shout ring out loudly in

good time and gaining a store of strength both physical and mental which will enable him turtfa well the race that is before him stewarttown norval and district in the early days ed herald had you known the people of norvol and vicinity as i have since 1850 you would not wonder that they aspired to become great and wanted to be a county town as the petition of which we have a copy to parliament shows and to my mind there is not the least doubt but what they would have made good i will refer to some of those who had to do with norvafm its early history there were mcnabbs the place was first called after them the men wanted larger ileitis for their energies and went to hamilton and one later be came sir allah mcnabb mm i re member this was told me by rev jas fraser a nephew on sister married nt prasers ohurch later union church one married j tracey of stewarttown they were the kind of settlers to make a firs class com- nunuy another outstanding charac ter was a boy just outtrom ireland j with pick and shovel and wheelbarrow in 185345 on the orand trunk railway when ft was building ibis was where the great timothy katon got his first job and laterlgou cne of the reld girls for a wire he clerked in a store in nerval for sut- liffe webster tney gave up there and webster moved to olenwullams where he got his wife a daughter of squire chas williams he only liv- ed a short time there when he died leaving the business in the hands of his wife and t eaton they carried on for a time then sold out another important firm oooderham worts started in nerval they are still in the same business in toronto making whiskey they round it bet ter to go to toronto there they went and there they are yet they struck- trade in which their product was always in demand or hotels in the early days were as numerous as gas stations now the earliest deal that i had a personal knowledge ot was old tommy gibbons telling me that he left nerval in 1833 or 3 on foot armed with an axe a bag of bread and a jug of whiskey and he cut the first tree in dublin they done some ad vertising in those days now all hotels had ferent signs had such as the black all aboard for sooth america the stewarttown concert held on thursday dec 18th was well attend ed and quite a success supper was served to the young folks at a oclock rev r boyd of nerval was the chairman and after the opening chorus e the pleasure of the teachers and pupils of the public sobool and st johns sunday school in presenting the program and hoped the audience would enjoy the evening tno schoolroom on christmas eve was presented by the public school and pre school children representing some thing in the school room which ac cording to fairy stories come to life at u oclock midnight christmas eve all did their parts well and audience nrt bnifwi all ifmh funtamf well as sign and dir- diflerent figures bull the peacock dodrop ton one on the edge of the town on going into town the first chance on the other side was the last chance along that line i will give you one more this was from a very particular friend of mine the late peter laird he told the- name but i am not giving that he said a certain farmer wanted to try the hotel business and he came to mr laird to talk the matter over and especially the sign and what he would put on it he said he told him to paint a horn on it and him coming out at the small end of it col w clay was one of the leading men in the village the township and the county councils he even wanted to be a member of parliament he had lots of interest in the place there was a large grist mut that had not always paid well and when the bite root noble came to try it col clay asked him how he was going to make it go his answer was take off my coat and go to work and mind my own business a course of action which brought satisfactory results the following taken from a letter written in 183s will indicate in some small measure the class of settlers that came to these parts and you will not be surprised that we can now look back with pride and pleasure and profit by their example esqueslng 17th april 1834 my dear mother and brother no doubt by this time you have been anxious to know how things are with us we are all as well at present as circumstances win admit and hope that you also will en deavour to put trust in him who alone is able to help in every trouble and trail which he is pleased to measure out unto his people while pb through this vale of tears we must rejoice that he is a ood of mercy and that he always tempers the weather to the shorn lamb and he never lays more upon them than they are able to bear but i shall make one obser vation more supposing that we had a friend who came and left with us a jewel of great value to keep until he should cau for it would we there fore be justifiable in refusing to give it up when he did call for it because we had it in keeping and had there fore become jdear to us no i trow not i would therefore anticipate your answer in my own we have no right to keep which was but given us in trust but resign it up willingly and freely if i may be pardoned for a person- the first i p i new csnzdian national lioer prince
