A colored boy taking a place as porter in a store at the same time with a white boy, may find the w 7 hite boy soon promoted to a clerkship, then to a partnership in the firm, if he is smart; but the colored boy remains, year after year, where he first commenced, no matter how worthy, no matter how competent. His lot is that of a menial; custom assigns him there, and in looking for clerks and partners he is not thought of by the white business man ; and thus, by the rigid laws of custom, he has... continually lost golden op- portunities to forge his fortune ; yet he has pros- pered in spite of this, and it bespeaks for him a su- perior manhood. 10 146 A SCHOOL HISTORY OF THE CHAPTER XXX.
