What would you say to the gardener who let your choice young vines run in straggling lines all over the ground and in all directions,--or who ruthlessly cut off all the stalks within an inch of the roots?
Young people need training, encouragement and urging in some directions, repression and pruning in others.

Above all, they need tender forbearance.
Another trying feature of the Young Person is his wholesale intolerance of everything and everybody.

Only himself and perhaps one or two of his own friends escape his censure.

These being covered with the mantle of his approbation, are beyond criticism.

This habit of uncharitableness is such an odious one that our boy or girl should avoid it carefully.
If you would acquire the custom of saying no evil, it is advisable to guard against thinking it.
