absorbing Interest, The home of our
childhood, the school house, the church

times crowd around the mind and fll
it with the most pleasing reflections
We pass from one stage to another in
our earthly experience, until years
crowd upon us, ana the cares of oul
earthly pilgrimage bring whitened

carrying outthe counsel of pious father
or neglecting the prayers of u fond and
devoted mother, contract such habits
and form such alliances as tend To de.
base and dem oralize, laying the founda
ton for future ignominy and shame. 20
