THAT BOY.

His name is not Solomon. There are many things he does not know. Remember that he is only a boy. You were one once. Call to mind what you thought, and how you felt. Give that boy a chance. Keep near to him in sympathy. Be his chum. Do not make too many cast-iron laws. Rule with a velvet hand. Help him have “a good time.” Answer his foolish questions. Be patient with his pranks. Laugh at his jokes. Sweat over his conundrums. Limber up your dignity with a game of ball or a half-day’s fishing. You can win his heart utterly; and hold him steady in the path that leads higher up. That boy has a soul, and a destiny reaching high above the mountain peaks. He is worth a million times his weight in gold.—Golden Censer.
