ere 10 think that the times have
changed since their fathers were
young, and that the true rules for the
conduct Of life have ceased to be the
same. Ny son, as you grow older,
you viii find that from tho time of
Solomon to this hour human nature
has not changed at all. and that the
guide to . prosperous and a happy
life is precisely the same as it was
when that wise man wrote. The
boy who ID fortunate enough to have
father whose experience is large and
varied, and who communicates it with
no possible motive but the best good
Of his child, has great advantage if be

suffer all the more deeply in the end
if he comes to see that the care, and
the earnest warning, and the faithful
counsel have been disregarded.
Danish forever from your mind that
folly which young men so very
