A WORD FOR BOYS.

Truth is one of the rarest gems. Many a youth has been lost to society by allowing it to tarnish, and foolishly throwing it away. If this gem still shines in your bosom, suffer nothing to displace or dim its lustre. Profanity is a mark of low breeding. Show us the man who commands the best respect; an oath never trembles on his tongue. Read the catalogue of crime. Inquire the character of those who depart from virtue. Without a single exception, you will find them to be profane. Think of this, and let not a vile word disgrace you.
