Neatness is a good thing for a girl, and if she doesn't learn it when young, the never will. It takes a great deal more neatness to make a girl look, well than it does to maks a boy passable. Not because a boy, to start with, is better bet-ter looking than a girl, but his clothes are of a different sort, not so many colors col-ors to them, and people do not expect a boy to look as pretty as a girl. A girl that is 'not neatly dressed is called a, sloven, and no one likes to look at her. Her face may be pretty and her eyes bright, Jaut -if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek, and her finger ends are black with ink, and her shoes are not laced or buttoned, and her skirt is torn, she cannot be liked. Learn to be neat, and when you have learned, it will almost al-most take care of itself. What God Gives a Boy. A body to keep clean and healthy, as a dwelling for his mind and a temple for his. soul. . A pair of hands to use for himself and others, but never against others for himself. A pair of feet to do errands- of love and kindness and charity and business, but not to loiter in places of mischief or temptation or sin. A pair of lips to keep pure and unpolluted un-polluted by tobacco or whisky, and to speak true, kind, brave words; but not to make a smokestack, of, or a swill trough. A pair of ears to hear the music of birds and tree and human voice, but says, or to what dishonors God or his mother. The pair of eyes, to see the beautiful, the good and the true God's finger print in the flower and field and snow-flake; snow-flake; but not to feast on unclean pictures, pic-tures, or the blotches which satan daubs and calls pleasure. A mind to remember and reason and decide and store up wisdom and irn-1 part it to others, but not to Ue turned into a chip basket or rubbish heap for chaff and rubbish and sweepings of the world's stale wit. A soul as fair as a new-fallen snow-flake, snow-flake, to receive impressions of good and to develop faculties of power and virtues which shall shape it day by day as the artist's chisel shapes the stone, into the image and likeness of Jesus Christ. |
