IL often happens that men wear bow

have long stood far before the world,
are very rotten at the cove. From
sources such rs these yoa may be
most unexpectedly deceived and
yon will naturally feel sore under
such receptions ; hnt 10 these You
must become used ; If You fare az
most people do, they viii lose their
novelty before you grow gray, and
you will learn to ust men cautious

closely, before you allow them great
opportunities to injurc you.
Don't be discouraged under any
circumstances. Go steadily forward.
Rather consult your own conscience,
than the opinions of men, though tho
last is not to be disregarded. BE
Industrious; be frugal be honest
