WAY the BOY Coos WRONG.

The very wealth is at the root of 1t all
The boy is INDUCED in money and the dis
position of his time. Ee plays billiards and
cards all night, smokes cigarettes immoder-
ately, drinks whisky In proportion, indnlges
In other pastimes and vices, and brides the
servants to lie about his comings and goings
at home. The father, engrossed in large af-
fairs, frequently has young drunkard sit
ting opposite him at dinner without being
aware of the fact, and the mothers love is toe
blind to observe. The boys health is dam
aged, his morals strangled, and his pocket
mortgaged. He gets into all sorts of scrapes
that he is ashamed Of, until finally one
more outrageous than usual, and perhaps
with female attachment, drives him, with
mind weakened by debauchery, to despair
Then he shoots himself and he's usually
drunk when he does it.--New York Letter.
