Paul accepted the invitation with pleasure, and it is needless to say that he received a hearty welcome and agreed, in the approaching summer, to make another visit.
And now we bid farewell to Phil, the young, street musician.

If his life henceforth shall be less crowded with adventures, and so less interesting, it is because he has been fortunate in securing a good home.

Some years hence the Doctor promises to give himself a vacation, and take Phil with him to Europe, where he will seek out his Italian home, and the mother with whom he has already opened communication by letter.

So we leave Phil in good hands, and with the prospect of a prosperous career.

But there are hundreds of young street musicians who have not met with his good fortune, but are compelled, by hard necessity, to submit to the same privations and hardships from which he is happily relieved.
