Then you will have your own way to make in the world. Do you mean to be idle and fretful, and deceive people, and give theim a bad opinion of you ? Or do you intend to go to work, and act bravely and nobly, and do your duty, and leave a name behind you when you die which the world will love and re­ spect? Take care--now is the tirae! Did you ever notice a large tree that grew crook­ ed, and was an ugly eyesore on that ac­ count? Perhaps it stood on the lawn, riglifi in front of the porch, and your father would have liked very much in­ deed to straighten it. It was simply im­ possible to do so. A hundred horses could not have drawn it erect. Ancf^et think of the time when the large tree was a small sapling; a child could have straightened it then, and it •would have grown properly, and every one would have admired it. , By this T mean that boys and girls oughtto grow straight, not crooked. You are young now, as the tree was once. Begin in time, and you will be as straight as an arrow when you are a man. If you wait it will be too late. The way to make men erect and noble ia to take them when they are boys, and show them that there is, nothing in this world so noble ae doing their duty. Once more I say, remember that though you are boys now, you will soon be men. You may do good or evil. If you are false and worthless, you and every­ body else will have a hard time of it. ft'NCWOOD, lLL Black and Colored Suitings, Wash Fabrics, Sateens, Capes, Lawns, Parasols.
