And my ole heart is as heavy as an anvil in my breast. To think the boy whose future I had once so nicely planned Should wander from the path of right. and come to puch an end. I tol' him when he left us, only three short years ago. He'd find himself a-plowlnff In a mighty crooked row. ! He's missed his father's counsel and I his mother's prayers too. ' I But he said the farm was hateful and he guessed he'd have to go. I know there's big temptations for a y o u n c s t e r . In the Y v s t . But I believed our Billy had the courage cour-age to renjvt. An' when he It-ft I warned him of the I ever waiting snares : That lie like hidden serpents in life's pathways everywhere s. i But Hill he promised faithful to Le careful and allowed j That he would build up a reputation j That would make us rn Ight y proud. But it i-en;9 as how mv counsel sort j of faded from his mind. j And now he's got in trouble of rhe very worst est kind. j His b-f'-r's came so seldom that I s-'n-.ehow port of k no wed. That Billy was a tran:plng on a mighty roi'ky road. But ntver once Imagined he would bow r.iy head In sbnn And In t he dust he'd waller his ole , daddy's honored name. He writ" from out In Denver, and the story's niiphty Ki.ort; I Jest tan't tell his mother It'll break her poor o! heart! An' so I reekon-'d. parson, you might break the n to her Bill's in the Lt-gtslatur, but he doesn't say what fur.
