What a Poor Boy Became

What a Poor Boy Became.—Prof. Alexander Bain, for many years lord rector and professor in the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, died a few weeks ago. His books are well known in institutions of learning. He began life in extremest poverty, working even into the years of manhood at his trade of a weaver. But he read and studied assiduously, often working at his books all night long. True success means sacrifice and toil, and few are willing to pay the price.
