A Message to Boys.
A lady who Is interested in the
youth of our town, sends us and asks
the publication of the following:
It takes a hero to make a noble re
solve and keep it. You can be such a
hero, if you will 1
Admiral Farragut, one of the na
val horoes itf tho late war, tells the
story of his boyhood. It would be
well for all boys to learn, before the
habit becomes fixed, that there is
nothiug manly in imitating the voices
of older people.
When I was ten years old I was
with my father on board a man-of-
war. I had some qualities that I
thought made a man of me. I could
swear like an old salt, could drink
as stiff a glass ot grog as if I had doub
led Cape Horn, and could smoke like
a locomotive. T was great at cards,
and fond of gaming in "every shape.
At the close of dinner one day, ray
father turned everybody out of the
cabin, locked the door, aud said to
i.
‘David, what do you mean to
be?”
‘I mean to follow tho sea.”
Follow the sea!” Yes, to be a
poor miserable drunken sailor before
the mast; be kicked and cuffed about
the world, and die in some fever hos
pital in a foreign land. No, David;
no boy ever trod the quarter-deck
with such principles as you have and
such habits as you exhibit. You’ll
have to change your whole course of
life if you ever become a man.”
My father left mo and went on
deck. I was stunned by the rebuke,
and overwhelmed with mortifica
tion.
“A poor miserable drunken sailor
before the mast. Be kicked and cuff
ed about the world, and die in some
fever hospital. That is to be my fate,”
thought I. “I will change ray life,
and change it at once. I’ll never ut
ter another oath;'I will never drink
another drop of intoxicating liquor;
I will never gamble.” I have kept
these three vows ever sinco. Shortly
after I had made them I became a
Christian. That act was tho turning
point in my destiny.
The lady adds:
“During tho holidays many a boy
who thinks and acts as David did,
will go further down the scale of
morality. That some boy may read
the story and make a similar 'resolve,
prompts the requests for thi.publica-
tion of Admiral Farragnt’s story.”
"Oh, no; thero ain’t any favorites
in this family!” soliloquized Johnnie;
“Oh, no; I guess! If I bite my finger
nails I catch it over the nuckles. But
the baby can eat his whole foot and
they think it’sjust cunning."—Denver
