so, by and by. Do you like to say dis
respectful things and talk vulgarly? Ii
so, you will be apt to do SO by and by.
Do you like to take few cents from you
fathers drawer, and disposc Of them for
triding things? If 50, you will take Pa's
dollars when older. DO you like to have
= cigar in your mouth, and send the beau
Ftiful curling waves Of smoke into the air :
1 If fso,a you are destroying that beautiful
form, end making another for which ii
was not designed. ..,,,.
