The MODEL DAUGHTER. Constantly she comes
down to breakfast before the tea things taken
away. She is always ready for dinner. She curls
her own hair and can undress herself without SER
want. She is happy at home without going to a ball
every night She has not headache when her papa
asks her to sing. She "practces " only when he is
out. She does not have her letters addressed to the
pastry cook, or make postman of the housemad She
does read novels in bed She dresses plainly for
church, and returns to luncheon without her head
being crammed chuck full of bonnets. She is not
perpetually embroiderng mysterious braces or knit
ting secret purses Her fingers not too proud to
mend stocking make pudding. She looks most
attentvely after the holes in her fathers gloves. She
is clever adept in preparing cruel, white wine whey
topieca, chicken broth, beef-tea, and the thousand
deicacies of sick room. She is tender nurse,
moving noiselessIy about, whispering words of COM
fort and admnsterin medicine with an affection that
robs it of half its bitterness She does not scream
leach, faint the sight of black beetle. She
does not spin poetry devour in any quantity. She
does not invent for not reading the debates
to her father in the evening, does she skip any
of the speeches. She always has the pillow ready
to put under his head when he falls asleep. She
behold an officer with womany forttude without fall
ing in love. She contracts a milliners bill
unknown to her parents she would die sooner"
She never stitched Red Turk in her life. She
above Berlin wool, and crying " one-twothree, one
two-three, continually. She studies housekeeping,
perfect in the rules Of arithmetic, and can
tell pretty nearly how many long sizes - go the
pound. She checks the weekly bills, and does not
blush If seen in butchers shop on Saturday. She
is not continually frettng go Paris, or dying"
to see Jenny Lind. does she care much about
s. love Mario" She does not take long walks by
herself, and come home saying " she lost her way"
She treats her fathers guests with civility. She
dresses in silks satins the first thing in the
morning, nor is she looking out of the window ad-
mirng herself in the looking all day long. She
makes the childrens frocks, and plays little chess
and backgammon-'' anything to please her dear ia
ther." She does not send home '' lovely' jew elry
for or Aoar fat 1,,ol- Sho1
self to DEATH take vinegar make herself thin.
She wears thick shoes in wet weather. She has a
terrible horror of coquettng She is kind to the SER
wants, and conceals their little fault. She never pouts
when scoded, nor shuts herself up in to Gull
vate g the suks." She is the pet of her darling
papa,'' and warns his slippers en- winters night,
and lights the candle before going up to bed. She
is her mamas "dear, good gir,'' as is sufficiently
proved by her being intrusted with all the keys of
the housekeeping. There is a terrible crying when
she is married. and for days after her absence nothing
is heard in the house but regrets and loud praises
and earnest prayers for the happiness of the Model
Daughter.
