good silver； and bore a true； genuine stamp。 I should have been glad
in my joy to throw out sparks of fire； but it has never at any time
been my nature to sparkle。 Steel can do so； but not silver。 I was
wrapped up in fine； white paper； that I might not mix with the other
coins and be lost； and on special occasions； when people from my own
country happened to be present； I was brought forward and spoken of
very kindly。 They said I was very interesting； and it was really quite
worth while to notice that those who are interesting have often not
a single word to say for themselves。
〃At length I reached home。 All my cares were at an end。 Joy
again overwhelmed me； for was I not good silver； and had I not a
genuine stamp？ I had no more insults or disappointments to endure；
although； indeed； there was a hole through me； as if I were false； but
suspicions are nothing when a man is really true； and every one should
persevere in acting honestly； for an will be made right in time。
That is my firm belief；〃 said the shilling。
THE END
