To Would-be Runaways.

Come, now, my lad, but you want to run
away. No boy ever yet reached the age Of
fifteen without having several times firmly
resolved to leave home. When boy has
made up his mind to a thing of this SOFT he
ought TO carry it out by all means. The
| first step in the programme ID to begin eaving
up bread and meat. When you have a
bushe or so of provisions hidden in the
barn or under the woodshed, you are ready
for the battle with the cold world. Make
/ your start at night. This will prevent the
sun from tanning your complexion, and you

low of their bed. This note goes on 70 say
that the boy has been jtwed. huIidozed,
starved, pounded, aud knocked Gown aud
dragged out until he has made up his mind
/ to sever the connection He vii! never re
/ heard of more. 1t is probably tie asst way
( TO leave note of this kind, a. the family
