Beware of the First Whit.

Boys, shall l tell you a story, true story
"a sad one nevertheless, and one which 1
wish you always to remember? Well, you
would like to hear it? 1t is this:
had little cousin once-a boy, bright
and buoyant. He was very happy child;
he had kind parents, and sister who loved
him very much, and he was very good boy
till he reached the age of thirteen.
Then his parents moved into neighbor-
hood where there were many bad boys; but
they knew it not, and their child used to
play with them, and, all uneonsciously to
his parents, he was fast being corrupted
These boys used to get away by them
selves in an old barn, and smoke pipes and
cigars, and try who could smoke longest.
Edwin, for this was my cousins name,
used to try to smoke too, and he would come
home pale and spiritlesS, with loss of appetite
and very bad headaches. My aunt never
suspected what was the matter with her boy;
but all mothers anxiety was aroused for
the health of her only son, and she would
tenderly nurse him; but he got no better,
and his friends feared he was going into
decline. Hewas forbidden to stay out after
eight o'clock in the evening, but sometimes
he would transgress.
One evening he stayed out quite late, and
his mother became very uneasy. Nine
o'clock struck, and still he came not My
uncle was absent, and they had no man around
the house to send for him. At last the clock
struck ten. His mother could bear the sus-
pense no longer. She put on her bonnet
and went out, but she could find nothing of
her child. She turned to go home, and met
some larger boys leading, or rather half
