Young man, brace up!

Why should you allow the
wheels of time to grind along
and leave you each day further
from the end which you seek. If
the girl is pretty marry her. II
you do not love her-here's ten
to one that she is not pretty. But
anyway, bra &c up.
Your life is not long, at best,
and there are many, many things
III the way; there are brambles
in the path over yonder-there
are poisone:; fruits tempting you
on every hand. But brace up.
Do not impose upon your ia
Their or your mother. They are
getting old, and you could aid
their happiness by being a bet
ter boy. Do not imagine that
it is smart to loaf around bar
room, fill your head with red
liquor and go out on midnight
carousals-for it isn't. These
things never did anyone good
and it never will Curb that hab-
it, then, young man, as you are
bracing up, and our word for it,
you will not regret it in after
years.
Don't be a dude-young man,
for a dude is easy to make, and
a dude is a very soft headed
fool. If you are not as sleek as
grease and as perfect as the fash
ion plate you last looked at, no
matter. There is some history
extant of some very good and
wise and great men who nver
carried a cane in their mouths
and who could get pair of pants
aloons containing less than fif>
teen yards Of cloth. So discard
all this foolishness, young man,
and brace up. Do you reado fl
SO do you read useful literature,
do you seek information from
those who wrote long ago, those
Sturdy old philosophers who left
names behind them forever? If
you do young man, you have
already braced up on that scor,
-but if you are giving up your
mind to lola, to Oulda to-well |!
those who write trash and writ
lots Of trash and awful poor trash
at that, why again young man,
we want to say that your case is
sad-and you should take al
vice, and brace up.
