A GIRLS Composition.

Boys are the quoerest things on earth
except girls. No matter how queer
boy may be, he can't come anywher,
near girl. Boys are rs full of the ole
Harry as they can hold, especially all thu
young llariy's, One thing about boys
is, that they aro never around when they
are wanted but just you want to tel
your bosom friend something you don
want them to hear, and they are all there
some to spare too. Anyhow no matter
how mean boys may be to cats, dogs or
each other, if q girl is lady they will
know it, you may be sure, and take my
word for it, they will treat her rs one.
You can cut up all You want 70 with the
boys as long as you don'tgo too far, and
! think just az nice as playing with
girls--and a groat deal nicer than play
ing with some girls, because boys never
get mad and fuss with you rs some girls
do. The only way to do when boy
comes to You with his nonsense is to
give him Ut for tat and that will fix him
into one of the incest young gentleman
TO be found and when you get boy to
be a gentleman, he is rs nice AS pump,

more black hands walnutting, aud make

rly to boys. There are some girls that
think boys are monsters, and would al
most think it y sin to speak to one; and
there are Others that seem to regard all
boys as their sweethearts ana their own
private property. But I'm one of the
kind that likes plain, downright, good
natured boy, that can talk to girl with
out getting soft, and can say something
sensible besides talking OF the weather,
fashion, or some other tomfoolery that
boys settle down to he good husbands,
and then don't their wives catch it, when
n button happens to ho missing, though!
But anyhow, think boys ought to get
good wives when they deserve them, and
l hope all our boys will get them. But
you might go on forever, and you would
always find something new to say about
boys. 50 gucss I'd better shut up be-
fore get to the end of my paper, and
will simply say, as a conclusion, that
boys are splendid creatures. if they are
full OF mischief and believe all have a
warm corner in their hearts for the bright
merry imps. So may they flourish for,
ever say, for they will have hard
time Of it when they get big, trying to
scrapc money enough to keep wife and
family, and ten to one they get an ex
travagapt wife in the bargain. It's al
