have landed in prison, lad aban-
doned the ties of their homes and
cut themselves off from all associa-
ton with their mothers and sisters.
Such alienation is often fateful. No
young man can afford to leave off
the tender influences of home, If
they have been wholesome there is
no better guard against future un
fortunate life
1t is hardly to be expected that
young man will tie himself to his
home and make himself servile to
it. He has need sometimes to cut
away and be his own man. But
that does not mean that the beauti-
full memory should restrict his self
reliance, it ought rather increase
it. There is no finer object in the
world than "a young man of high
and self-reliant spirit keeping un-
der the influence of his mother and
paying steady devotion to her low
ing character.
Such young man is not likely
to stick in the swamps of life, or
find final abode in some prison.

memory, when properly cherished,
that will protect one from the soci-
al and commercial perils that he may
encounter. Stand by the home
