It was Boz's birthday, not many days

ago. No pushing publisher thought to get out a new “Pickwick” poster for the

occasion. There were no red letter signs n thc subway informing breathless readers that the world's greatest liter- ary success had hecn just issued and that the presses could not keep up with the demand. That distinction is reserved

for the very latest newcomer. He may not stay long, but he has just arrived. Yet an incautlous pdblisher or two

caught off their guard, lngentqugly 15; slip the remark that they had been selling Dickens for twenty years and his stories never sold better than today. It is pro- bably the same with Scott and Dumas and

The Boy Who Minds His Mother.

Boys, just listen, for a moment,

To a word I have to say:

1\Ianhood's gates are just before you,

Drawing nearer every day;

Bear in mind, while you are passing

O`or the intervening span,

That the boy who minds his mother

Seldom makes a wicked man.

There are many ships and failures

In this world wc're living in,

Those who start with prospects

‘ fairest

Oft are overcome by sin;

llut I'm certain that you’ii notice,

If the facts you 'closely scan,

That the boy who minds his mother

Seldom makes a wicked man.

Then be guided by her counsel,

It will never lead astray.

Rest assured sho has your welfare

In her thoughts by night and day. Don't forget that she has loved you

Since the day your ilfc began.

Ah, the boy who minds his mother.

Seldom makes n wicked man. l
