ked me never to use tobacco; I have never touched it from that time
to the present day. She asked me not to gamble, and I have never
gambled, and I cannot tell who is losing in games that are being
played. She admonished me, too, against hard drinking, and whatever
capacity for endurance I have at present, and whatever usefulness I
may have attained in life, I have attributed to having complied with
her pious and correct wishes. When I was seven years of age she asked
me not to drink, and then I made a resolution of total abstinence; and
that I have adhered to it through all time, I owe to my mother."
Mothers, do not think your little ones are too young to receive
advice; it is true they may not act upon it for many years, but they
will remember it and follow it sometime.

HURRAH FOR THE BOY THAT WHISTLES.
Hurrah for the boy that whistles!
Just now he passed by here.
The rain dripped down from his sodden crown,
But his whistle sounded clear;
And it made my task seem easier,
And my heart grew brave and strong,
Hurrah for the boy that whistles!
He helps the world along.
