The Western and Atlantic R. R. Co.. By Joseph E. Brown, President. 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 Republican. DoYoii See Mint?
