I wonder what thru the boy who
read thi have for challenging or lurlu
ng oua another to go In twIiiiniingP
lav oifier JtiHrti; Itopl.
Tb boyt lu Ike laiy't town uetl
make the inolion of wliniiiliig with
ixitb arum; or limy held up tba fore
llngor and midille llugur In the form of
I .wallow-tall; they illil till, when
waa neceaaary tn la tecret about it.
lu acliool, and when they did not want
Ilia whole crowd of boy to come
aliing: and ofien when tlmy jtiat pro.
teniieii nicy am not want ine one
know.
They really had to le aeitrct nt time,
for tome of the boyt were not allowed
to jro In at all; other war forbidden lo
go lu more than one or twloo a day;
aud a they all bail to go in at b ail
thro or four time a dav, wiiw tort of
igu had to be maid that wa understood
among tlienuelre alone.
Mine l hi 1 a true history, I had
better own that they nearly all, al oue
time or other niualbava told Ho alwitt
It, either twforo or after the fact, tome
habitually, onin only lu great extrem
ity. iture ami there a uoy, like u
Ix'ir'a eblur brother, would not U-
Ilea at all. even about golujf In twlui
nilug; but by far the giealur number
Dott ed wi tiioir nam late aim told
them.
They nromld that they would not
go I u, and then they taid that thev
had not been In; hut fate, for which
they had made thi incrillue, waa apt
lo betray them. Either they got their
thlrtt on wrong tide out lu uruMimr,
or ela while tlicy were In aome enemy
cam upon them and lied their thlrtt.
Titer are few crueltlet which public
opinion lu tht boy' world oondemun,
but I am glad to rcuioitibor to their
honor that there were not many in that
boy a town who would lie thin, ami
fervently hoiai tint there It no boy
now living who would do It. A tbe
crime I probably extinct 1 will nay
that in thoae wickmi iiayt u you were
toon e nilaereanl, aud there wa tome
boy you baled, you .tola up and tied
the bardott kind of a knot In one arm
or 11 h arma of bit ahirt. Then, if the
evil oua put It Into your heart, you
tonked the kuot lu water and pounded
It with a alone.
I am glad lo know that In the day.
when be wa thoughtleat and aenaotua
enough my boy uever waagulliy of any
degree of till, meannca.
It waa bit brother, I toppoae, who
taught hi in to abhor It. and pvrbapt it
wa bit own lufferiug from it lu part.
