be fond of relating that, on first leaving a
humble lodging to join his ship as a midship-

prosper you, my lad and, as long as you
live, never suffer yourself to be laughed out
Of your money or your prayers"

advice through life, and had reason to rejoice
that he did so while thousands have regret.

a boy about nine years old was bathing one
day, When, by some mischance, he got into
deep water and began TO sink. His elder
brother saw him and ran to save him, but
lacking strength or skill, he also sank to the
bottom Of the river. As the two drowning
brothers rose to the surface for the last time
they saw third brother, the youngest of the
family, running down the bank for the pur.
pose of trying to save them. Then it was
that the dying nine-year-old acted the part Of
a hero. Struggling as he was with death, he
gathered all his strength, and cried to the
brother on the shore, " Don't come in, or la'
ther will lose all his boys at once !"
Noble little fellow Though dying, he
forgot himself and thought only of his fathers
grief He was genuine hero. His brother
obeyed his dying command and was spared
TO comfort his father when his two dead soni
were taken from the river clasped in each
others arms.
Boys you are not called to be heroes il
this way, but you are called to consider The
feelings of your parents, and to study how tC
avoid giving them pain. Blessed are thos'
children whose words and deeds make sweo
