4 Dun Doings.
There has been great deal Of talk an(
gossip about the boys that got Int
trouble here short time ago, and as ID,
parents OF those boys are respected cltI
zens we think each and every one had
better consider, think twice, and speai
once. You don't know the hesrtachel
your cruel words may canse, and nc
doubt but that there are heartachoe
enough. One doesn't know tho troubled
OF another.
I once heard or some ladies gathered
together q sewing party, when their
conversation turned upon their trouble
One said. know I have moro trouble
than any body else. Then another. and
another, I'LL al he'd given an account Of
their troubles, except one. She bad been
. silent listener to all they had said, and
now Il wss her turn to speak. Ladies,
she said, none Of you know what trouble
Iis; wait until you hesr my experience.
lShe then told the following sad story /:
III once had happy homo, With kind
husband and four darling boys. Ny
homo was perfect paradise. But there
came sudden change to all my happi-

and myself and family sII struggling 10

Then the next two oldest boys went
