out DIV Sam JackSOD. DC NOulu aASo hIfC
had a grandmother if she hadn't died 20
yeers before. This is all, but it is enough
to prove that the good boy always becomes
president of the Unitsd States, while the
bad one goes to Sing Sing for life. John
was also hooked by COW once, but 1t
didn't kill her.
LESSON lido you see that ship? All!
She is a fine large ship and she has just got
home from q long voyage. Some ships
sink 10 the bottom Of the sea and many
lives are lost. Others are driven ashore
and the cannibals eat up the crew. Would
you like TO be q cannibal and eat sailor
If you continue to he good boy You may
some day be q cannibal and have sailor
three times day. The ship is loaded
with things from Africa. The officers
have a sad, subdued look. This Is be-
cause they didn't kill but half the crew
coming home, although they tried their
best. Would you like to be q captain or q
mate and have the privilege of knocking
a sailors head of every hour in the day.
II so, you must study your lessons, be
good to your little brother and never en-
courage the hired girl TO stsrt the kitchen
fire with kerosene.
LESSON III.-The dew is on the grass.
Ii shouldn't be there, but it is too late to
help it now. All well-regulated, respect
able dew should fall on the oowshed and
let the grass alone. Does Henry spring
out of bed to ace the dew sparkle in the
rising sum- Not il hs knows himself.
Henry is a level-hesded, pug-nOsed boy,
and he knows that two hours sleep in the
morning are worth more to boy than all
the dew ever made in Boarbon county.
But the farmer walks on the dewy grass?
On, certainly. He goes sloshing around as
soon as it is daylight and takes particular
pains to scrape on an acre or two OF dew on
his feet and ankles, so as to get the rheu-
matism and have somebody pity him. Is
de v the tears of angels shed over the wick
edness Of the world? Not doubt of 1t, my
son, but what puzzles some folks is the fact
that dew only falls few weeks in the year
while the world keeps up its wickedness
right along without 8 break.
I.FssoS IY.--James was the son of .
rich man. ri make some other James
the son of q poor one next time. As he
was also an only child, he was allowed to
have his own way in everything, and If
ANYBODY disputed his words he would fly
into violent passion. Almost Jesse
James, you will observe
one dsy:whsn James was 10 years old
he went walking by himself, and chance
directed his footsteps past the cottage IN
which lived Widow Gray. Several geese
belonging to the widow were sailing in q
pond, and no sooner did the youthful
James observe them than he began to throw
stones at the fowls. The widow came out
and asked him to please desist, but James
was not desister, instead Of passing on his
way and letting his father foreclose
on the mortgage and turn her ont without
a Mother Hubbard to her back, he began
to heave rocks ut the window. She he'd
in anguish-that is, she ought to have
done so. but didn't. She fed for James,
made two grabs and toss, and the next
thing he knew he vas among the geese.
Poor, pampered Jsmesi What spec
taele he presented as he crswled out and
took his way homewsrd. His mother
tainted away, his father sued Widow Gray
and rot beaten, and James ran away and
was Jailed in Indiana. Thus it will be
saen that no matter how rich boys
father is, or how many Widow Grsys live
in his neighborhood, virtue Is its own re-
ward. It doesn't cost cent day to be
GOOD. while the wicked are always sneak
mo about and expecting calamity.
