The worst habit that boys can
fall into is that of loafng around
on the streets at night. 1t is then
they cast their lot in slippery
places when at any moment they
are likely to fall from grace.
All good and noble lessons taught
them by their mother are there
counteracted and nullifed. They
learn nothing that is good-but
everything bad. The boys who
spend their evening in the sacred
precincts of home, with good
books for their companions, are
the future hope Of this republic;
they will fill our legislative halls,
and will sit in judgment upon
men measures, while the boys
who run the streets will fill our
penitentiaries, almshouses and
lunatic asylums. Parents who are
responsible for these broken laws
of decency will have broken hearts
and bowed down heads in the
awakening years that will inevita-
bly, follow.-Exchange.
