1t is painful sight to see young
man Longing about month after
month, neither working nor desiring
to work, while others, perhaps poor
parents, are toiling from morning
till night to support and save them
from disgrace, which their own
thoughtlessness and laziness is fast
bringing upon them. But how many
sights of this kind are to be seen in
every community? How many are
to be found who have not the sense
Of shame which is necessary to force
them off the lounger's seat but enough
OF that false pride which will not
allow them to take hold of employ

genteel and profitable Alas! the
fate of such, without speedy reform,
is sealed ; they will go down to the
grave unloved but by their mothers,
unmourned but by their companions
