[fragment]

 

Consequense of bad habits Acquiered in youth Youth is the seed time of life and on its Improvement depends our future success in life. if the farmer sowes good seed over his fields he may expect to reap the same, but if he sowes Cocel and C[?] he will also have the same kind to reape in harvest and so if we acquire rong wronge habits in youth we are sowing impure seed and will have to reape the fruit in after life. The drunkard who is a disgrace to his friends and community the profane swearer and the gambler Acquired these habits in youth which binds them down as it were in chains of irons. they may be sensible of ther theire condition yet the habit has become so stronge that they finde it almoste impossible to free themselves it is in consequence of bad habits acquired in youth that our gales and penitentiaries are so crouded with inmates if we form wrong habits in youth we will be under the necsity of changing them in after life or they will bring us down to ruin
