a garden. Our pretty tree is d:ing. and |
won't love another tree as long as live.

stay all winter
George. don't you remember my beauti
ful canary! 1t died in the middle of the sum-
mer, and we planted bright flowers in the
ground where we buried it. My bird did
not live as long as the tree =.
Well, don't see as we can love any
thing. Dear little brother died before the
bird, and loved him better than any bird
or tree, orflower. O, | wish we could have
something to love that wouldn't die!'

ct. NAKED TRUTH'-The late eccentric job
a Holmes used frequently, in his addresses /
N different juries, to exi lain the meaning of th
he phrase naked truth, by relating the follow
ses lug fable ::
Truth and FalsehooG travelling one war;
day, met at a river, and both went 10 bath
RS. at the same place. Fa!sehood Coming fir,
1ur out Of Lhe water, took his companions cIutht
on, aud left his own vile raiment, and then wei
'nS on his way. Truth coming out of the waite

rit- thief, but not being SO swift otfoot, has ne
cal er oyertakcn the fugitive. Ever since he h;
lot, been knowu as naked Truth
t in
the EDUcArIoN.-Every boy should have b
but head, his neart, anihis hand educated. L
our this truth never be forgotten. by the pro-
en- er education Of the head. he will be taug

ling heart, he will bs taught to love what is goo

dge ish aud wrong. And by the proper educ
tion ton ot the hand, he will be enabled to ST
