But when dark comes, you plump your
selves into your good cool beds in youl
damp, sweaty shirt, without washing
your poor tired body, and that too with,
out a grateful thank or blessing to God
that he has kept you safe and well, and
from eny bad crime. All, boys, no won
der you don't feel rested.
Let me tell you what do know. The
long warm days, you must not work too
hard in trying to be "smart.' but labor
moderately, win and keep a quiet heart,
one not easily depressed or easily excited
When the days work is done, if your
mother is milking, go and carry two pals
for her; or Kate wants that fiat stone
laid by the spring for step, do that. or
move that unsightly log for her, or fas-
ten that long hempen string at the top
for her morning glories to climb, and
soon the bells will nod a pretty thank'ee
to you, for them and her. Oh! such
little acts are big stepping stones in the
love of your mother and sisters, and /
wish you'd remember it; besides, they
will make you feel good in your consci-
ence, just as a friendly pat on the head
of little child does it good and begets
good impulses.
Don't be afraid Of clean, cold water.
and a linen rag; rub Yourself briskly from
head to foot, and don't daily and jump
back with an ugh when the splash meets
you, and be so long about it that you will
chill your blood and take cold. Then
from among the paper rags, hunt out one
of your old shirts, or one of Wills TO
sleep in. Calm your mind with breath.

ly cared for your dear ones, and if your
conscience is clear, and you are not in
debt for cigars, my word for it, you will

in bed though, with two or three pillows
under your head, will lie even with your
body. Take the same pains in day time
10 keep yourself trim and straight, and
step as though you had two shares Of dig
nifty, and were aware that you were made
in the image of God.
Oh this shambling, rambling bag-of,
bran way of walking and riding is a dis
grace to humanity and the pride of man
