Warning to Boys.

II was about this season OF the year.
once upon a time. that four boys wendell
their way TO the woods on pleasure IN
tent. The woods did not hold out much
attraction, being too early for Wild. How
ers. ferns, etc. So the boys thought II
would be good pastime to search Tor
parsnips, each trying to find the largest
and eat the most. George, boy ol II
wears, ate more than the other boys ana
was eating very large one when mn
called the boys attention from tbeirSpOrt
by saying that the parsnips were poIsoh-
Gus. and death would ensue in few days
unless they could throw up ali they had
eaten. Of course the boys were very
much terrified and soon succeeded IN
doing as the man told them bill but
George-he. alas. was to fa.l a victim TO
this vegetable poison. George did rot
tell any one what had occurred and it
was not until one week had elapsed that
the sad truth became known. In the
meantime the poison had done its deadly
work. After few more days this dear
boy died. l must say, in conclusion,
that never saw = grown person bear
pain as this boy did. He was thought
full of everyone and so good, so willing
to die. When I gaze upon his pictur
nv heart swell. with sorrow at the ioss

dollars worth of clothes and adornment.
