A Nowt Elov. 7 A boy was once tempt
ed by some of his companions to pluck
ripe cherries from a -tree which his father
had forbidden him to touch. "You need not
be afraid," said one of his companions,
"for if your father should find out that
you had taken them,
,he is so, kind he
would not hurt you." "That if the very
reason," replied the boy, "tahy I Would
not, leech ihent.'! It is true., my father
would not hurt me ; yet my disobedience
I knew would hurt my father, and that
would be worse to me than stir thing
elan." A boy who,grows up with such
principles would be a man in the best mime
of the word. It betrays ®ard for rec
titude that would render him trustworthy
