Boys and Girls--A Comparison.

Though brothers and sisters, yet
what striking difference in the ma
lures and dispositions of boys and
girls. How like a tender fowret,
depending upon some upholding
support, is the one-bold, headstrpng
and independent the other. Boys
tend naturally to fun in out of door
Iife-!eaky boots and shoes, and torn
trowsers. Girls tend to the sober
proprieties-pensive poetry, hem.
ming handkerchiefs, and a few calls
on the neighbors. Boys grow-girls
come up. Boys are energetic aud
like a 6rush-girls are etfeminate,
and run to soft words, instead ofhard
blows. A boy at ten has seen good
deal of inside life on the outside
world girl is as innocent of it as
she is of a knowledge of the inhabi-
tants of the moon. Boys laugh
girls simper. Boys run-girls hop
and skip. Boys sec the elephant
girls do not know that such an animal
lives in the cities. Boys have long
yision-girls a short one. Boys
have a chest with a pair of active
working lungs in it-glrls have a
sort of \ valise with something like
a -squeezed spong, which is rarely
used, and then Only in atrihing way.
Boys travel-girls stay at home.
Boys are wild-girls tame. Boys arc
indifferent whether school keeps or
don't keep-girls arc keenly sensi-
tive on that point. Boys never make
the acquaintance of Mrs. Grundy-
girls are alwaysat her feet andalways
her slave. Boys like girls, but they
don't like to bc like them. Neither
girl-boy nor a boy-girl is fancied by
either boys or girls. A 'trueboy always
stands by true girl, and true girl
always has an abiding faith in a true
boy. Both boys and girls are very
clever and necessary Institutions, but
tho world is more indebted to and
depends more upon boys than girls.

For three years the father struggled

none; still it was necessary for her
to have food. One day passed on
which she tasted nothing. The

once, get out of bed, and get your
paper, ink and pen, and say these
words unto all men:
My goods / wish to sell to you,

my prices they shall be SO low, that
each will buy before they go.
