WHY count vourl elf among the "they
Who whisper what they dare ho' say
"They say"-But why the tale re

And help to make the matter worse
No good can posslbly accrue
From telling What may be untrue;
And is il not lnobler plan
To sneak of all fhe best you CAM

Why should you tell the taie Oh woe
Will it the bittdr wrong reureSS'
Or make one nahg of sorrow less'
| Will it the erri9g one restore
Henceforth to cd and SIN no more'

See how vour beart inclires to sin;
Watch, lest in dark temptation s hour
You. too. sbould pink beneath its power
Pity the frail-Teep Ger thelr 1an'
But sneak of good or not at all.
Children shoulS be early taught botl
by precept and Example, to keep theil
promises. strawfs show which way the
wind blows. likewise small things re

breaking of proi mises will lead into 8

voices have no abiding place.

We ought TO consider home and al
The members of the household as en-
titled to the frft consideration in al
things. What ale those we meet in so

1t is a wrong ide "a that every boy must

never be sown. rChe time spent in sow

that would yield "a golden harvest. Be
careful about the kind Of seed you sow,
for whatever a man soweth that shall
