Boycott on Veal.

.A country boy was leaving home to make a living, and probably a name for ’■himself. His father and mother had given him some money and a great deal of advice. He had a situation in & distant city; and, as he had never taken kindly to farm work, it looked like a good opportunity for him. .

. "But there’s one thing I wanter say ter ye,” the old man said, as he’handed the-ahoy his luggage out of the wagon at the station, “and I want you to understand that I say It In all kindness. You are going Into the world with pretty good prospects.” "Yes, father.” "And at the same time you’re to move into the neighborhood of the wicked and ungodly, where your foot’s liable to slip any minute.” "Yes. father.” "Wa-a-1, what I wanter say is Just this: ‘The farm’s goln* to stay right here, where you can always turn to It; but times has been mighty hard lately, and the farm never was very productive.* “I know it father.” "So you might as well understand that if you come back because you want to see the folks again, you’ll get your wish, but If you come back lookin’ for the fatted . calf you'll, be likely-to get disappointed. So goodby, son.”
