THE HONEST OLD TOAD.

oh. queer little chap is the honest old toad.
funny old fellow is he;
Living under the stone by the side of the road,
Meath the shade of the old willow tree
He is dressed all in brown from his toes to his
crown,
Save his vest that is silvery white
He takes a long nap in the heat Of the day,
And.wa tks in the cool, dewy night &.~..
"Raup, yOup!" says the frog,
From his home in the bog,
But the toad he says never word;
He tries to be good, like the children who should
Be seen, but never be heard. -
When winter draws near, Mr.. Toad goes to bed,
And he sleeps sound as a top,
But when May blossoms follow soft April sh overs,
He comes out with a skip, jump and hop;
He changes his dress only once confess
Every spring. and his old worn-out coat,
With trousers and waistcoat, he rolls in a ball,
And stuffs the whole thing down his throat.
''K-rruk k-rrukp says the frog,
From his home in the bog,
But the toad he says never a word;
He tries to be good, like The children who should

ity; for honor, truth and industry are
more than genius.
Don't be foppish in your dress, and
don't buy anything before you have the
money to pay for it. Shun billiard sa-
looms, and be careful how you spend the
evenings. Cultivate taste for reading,
and read only good books. With love
for reading, you will find in books friends
ever true, and full of cheer in time of
gloom, and sweet companionship for
lonely hours. Other friends may grow
cold and forsake you. but books are al
ways the same. And in closing, boys, l
would say again, that with truth, hon

God, you will succeed. ~ -.
