One Of these proud girls, named Sarah,
went TO school one day, aud found new
scholar there who was plainly though neatly
dressed. At the recess, the new coiner Mas
| introduced to Sarah as Miss Effie Roy. Sarah |
gave Efiie the tip of her finger, bowed stihy,
4 pouted her pretty lips, tossed her head, anu
moved away. Turning to playmate Sns
said

Why, she is dressed as plainly as oar BODY

go, Sarah, don't say that" replied her
friend. "Efie Roy's father is very rich.--
/. He has Just bought that lovely villa on the
q hill, and is richer than any man in town."
n Poor, proud, silly Sarah Hew vexed she
% was on hearing this fact. She had made SAD
Is blunder. Her pride had led her TO insult q
.. rich man daughter by her naughty manner.
u She tried to undo her folly by going at once
a, to Effie with her blandest smile and sweetest
u tones of voice. But Efhe had noticed her
T. manner at first and had not mistaken its mean
nj ing. Hence, while she was polite TO Sarah
ID she was cool and reserved.

Ip- you Judge people by their clothes, you will b
vu apt to make mistakes which you will after
ass wards regret.

"No,' he replied, glancing his eye toward

et- Take caro-, then my children, not to cheris
ult that pride which scorns the poor or poor
ON clad. Learn to respect people, because, lib
the yourself, they are Gods creatures and IL
to purchase of Christ's blood. Even the poo
nus Irishman with his hOd, and the poor slave vii
-, his hoe, are precious in Gods sight, ar
I'M. should not therefore be despised, scorned,
,sts ill-troated by any one. Be meek and humbl
ase then, in yourselves, and you will have no VIII
to treat the poor or poorly clad with scorn.
