IL don't care" How often We
hear young people say this. My
young friend. you aught to care-aye.
You will care, perhaps. when it is too
late. Il don't care" has ruined
thousands. Ii has filled jails aims
houses. and murderers' graves it has
wrung the hearts Of parents, and has
brought deep bushes to sisters cheek;
IL has broken down many young man
who has started out IN lite with the
brightest prospects Of success. but
who has often said, 81 don't care"
Be careful how you allow yourself

been kept in by his teacher for had
conduct. As he stepped into the
street, a friend Of his-a noble man.
and one who always delighted in

thousands Of miles from home. Upon
his tombstone. truthfally might b.
engraved these words:
