witness their gambols, aud listen to

Look Before You Leap.
A. JACKSON CAMMACK.

The great misfortune of the PEG.
pie of this age ia that they leap be-
fore they look, that ia they jump
out into the world unconscious of
the trials and troubles which they
have to come in contact with, and
when these troubles como upon
them, they are incapable OF appre-
bending the danger, and are almost
certain to 90 astray.
Then they begin to realize what
has been taught them by their pa.
rents, but 1t comes too late, they
have made bad leap; 30 it goes
on from bad to worse, until they are
beyond redemption, and sink into
despair. Such should not be the
case, We shonld look ont rome pnr.
snit in life, that we feel certain will
suit us. and leap upon it with such
force and vigor ms to become mas.
tiers of it, and he the superiors of
our fellow. workmen.
SO many people leap ont into the
world with the idea that they will
become wealthy and versed in the
ways OF world, and when they fail.
they feel discouraged, and IL natur.
ally follows that they lose their love
for others, and they look ont for
themselves, and then they are led
astray by these, in the practice of
bad habits Thus 1t goes on until
they finally find themselves involved
in trouble which lasts through life.
IT you have any great work to nc.
complish look into the very sub.
stance before you leap upon it, for
if yOu do not You will barely he
able TO scratch the surface.
In Ieaping there is a great din.
Guilty IN determining whether you
are lenping in favor of Yourself or
not hnt always endpavor to leap in
the direction that will be of advau.
tage 10 you in yonr life.undertak-
ings. One great misfortune of PEG.
pie now days is, that when they are
going to the whisky shop they new
er look into it aud consider it's evils,
bat they continue to drink until
they are not able to drink any more,
and then they try to make their
way home, but it is in vain, for
when they start they look one way
and leap another, consequently they
fall to the earth unconscious of
their situation.
