Ten Points.

l.. HoNEsTi O. Pure; 8, Intelligent; 4,
Active; 5, Industrious; 8, Obedient; Z,
Steady; 8, Obliging; 0, Polite; 10, Neat
Any boy who wishes to made mark in
the world, should possess these ten points.
Thousands of places are open for
thousands of boys who come up to the
kind of business he would prefer Places
are ready in ever kind of occupation.
Many Of them are filled by boys who lack
some of the most important points, but
they will soon be vacant. One boy within
our knowledge is very fond of smoking
cigars and attending the circus and carous-
ing. This costs more money than he can
afford, but some h0D he manages to have
stamps about him. His employer Is quiet
ly watching him, and he shall expect soon
To hear that he has been detected, and his
place filled by some boy who is getting
ready forit by observing point No. l. Other
situations will soon be vacant, because the
boys have been poisoned by reading bad
books, such as they would not dare show
to their father, sni would be ashamed
to have their mothers see The i'm
pure thoughts gathered from these books
and bad society will lead to vicious acts |;
the boys ruined; and their places must
be filled. Who will be ready for one of
these vacanciess Distinguished lawyers,
useful ministers, skillful merchants, must
all soon leave their places for somebody
else TO fill. One by one they are removed
by death. Mind your ten points, boys;
they will prepare you to step into the VA
cancies in the front ranks-make ten
strike. Every man who is worthy to en-
ploy boy is looking for you, if you have
the points. Do not fear that you will be
overlooked. A young person having
these qualities will shine as plainly as
star at night. We have named the ten
points that go toward making up the char
acter of successful boy SO that they can
be easily remembered. You can imagine
mnu-tney @nrue es'd III nlsasr them in
mond rngs, and you will then never be
ashamed to "show your hand."-As-
