FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
VACATION.

Vacation! I fancy, if you were a child.
And rules and examples had driven you wild,
You'd just be as joyful as | am to-day
AT the thought OF vacation and freedom and
? play.
Not a lesson to look at for ever 90 long,
Not dull, puzZling sum, with the answer all
wrong,
No dreadful dictation TO write on your slate
No teacher to frown if a second you're late;
But fun in the morning and frolic at night,
And the hours between full of mirth and de-
light.
Such races and chases, such laughter and
glee,
You'd know if you only were little, like me.
There's only one trouble: you look very kind :;
Perhaps you'll tell mother you're sure you
won't mindO,
If she wouldn't insist so on bedtime at eight
She'd make itmore jolly for Freddie and Kate
Vacation! We're off with the birds and the
bees
Well picnic in woods and have swings on the
trees,
Wen fish in the brook and wen ride on the
And weeks upon weeks Wen do nothing but
play.
Perhaps you are right-it don: seem so to me-;
But we may by and by, having had so much
glee,
Be pleased to return to the teachers kind rule,
And willingly answer the summons to school

profane and vulgar language, and butt
little be said about it. But such acts IN
4 girl must not be tolerated. This
should not be so. The purity of boys
character should be considered % Just
as much Importance in home as that
of girls, and any habit that boy
would think a disgrace to his sister
should be summed by himself.
l have heard it said, that if boy can
be kept free from all evil habits until
he is twenty, he will be apt to abstain
from them through life. He will by that
time have seen enough to know the
great injury done to both body and mind
by evil indulgences, and his strength of
will for resisting temptation is stronger
than when younger. So you see it is
while boys are young, so young that
but few of them have the strength of
will to say no, when tempted, that the
purity OF their characters is destroyed.
The good character of many boy
has been ruined by the inhuance of bad
companions. 1t is strange what a fasci-
nation bad boy has for his associates.
We once heard a man, in speaking of a
bad boy, say: THAT boy has done more
harm among the boys of this community
than the good influence of the whole
neighborhood can counteract. He
makes his evil ways appear smart and
manly to the boys; and many of them,
good and pure in character, have fallen
into bad habits just through his in
liuence." Boys, beware of such COM
panions, Do not be afraid to say no,
when they tempt you to do wrong. The
boy who can withstand the temptations
offered by his boy associates and
abstains from bad habits, has in him
far more true manhood than the boy
who yields, however much the appear
ance of man his indulgences may
give him. Nellie Burns IN Country
