neclon:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?-Whal are
YOU doing, young man, you are daessed
20 nes, and trim? Your hands appear

som is without speck or wrinkle.
You never work, and nave time to de-
vote to any amusement. Did you ever
ask yourself what would be the conse.
quences Of an idle life? Do you wish Us
to tell you9 Cote The stale.prison or
to he work house, and see for yourself.
You will come awoy better man, We'll
re bound TO say.
And yOu, sir. what are you doing?
You are often seen al The door of a grog-
gerry. Know you not the thoughts OF
many who see you2 'rhere is a young
man making a fool Of himself His
cheek, his eve, his words, his gene,a al
appearance, indicate it Then Why
not turn about and become a man re.
>peCled2 Just turn over new leaf to-
day, aud it will be The saving o. you.
Persist in your drinking and loahng pro-
pens,ies, and they will lead you down,
down, down 10 destruction. This you
know or at least you ought 10 know it,
Tor 20 have examples enough before you
TO confirm the fact.
VIVA, are you doing, you man, with
cigar in your mouh and a whip in your
hand? Or an excursion of pleasure,
hey Yon had better take The money!
you pay 70 horse hir and cancel your
Shoemaker's or your aiIol's bill. Your
extravagant hab1s will make a pauper
If you, or something worse. Reform
10 day. Throw away your cigar, and
ride no more you are able.
What are you doing Miss Folly! No
wonder you are considered a walking dry

Of fine clothing on your back, But who
likes you the better for il! Would it NOT
ne as well TO keep al home, aud learn 10
'ew and knit, to sweep the floor and rinse
the clothes, as TO dash about the sreles!
Ask your mother, aud is she has common

'inne to cut such figure! Scarcely man
