Cleanliness.

As a rule, every boy and girl. every
young man and woman who will, can have
clean clothes, clean body, clean face
hands and feet, clean teeth, and clean
sweet breath. Now, in your own mind
contrast cleanliness with its opposite. If
we were only seeking to please the eye. the
former Is worth all the care necessary 10

No one can De careless of his person. and
nuclean in his habits, without producing or
perpetuating like disorder in mind. and in
all he does.
Our bodies are covered with inuumera.
BILE pores or holes so small that the naked
eye can not see them, and through these
there Is, or should be, constant passage
Of ef1ete dead matter. In warm weather
we are made sensible OF this fact by the
PRESENTATION which stands upon our faces
and hands, or saturates our clothes. This
Effort of the system to cleanse itself inside
is constant, whether we know it or not.
Suppose now that you neglect to keep
your body clean outside these little holes
are stopped, the dead matter which should
come ont is kept in the blood becomes I'M
pure, the brain wearies or gets lazy, we are
lazy all over; then we are slack and care
less; we do not like tostrdy or think, even
of nice things, and so we are injured all
through if we do not keep the surface OF
the body clean. OF course, while we are at
work or play, we get our clothes, face and
hands soiled, and sometimes our whole
bodies are covered with dust and perspira.
ton then what a luxury it is to battle!
Ii is not bad that we sometimes get dirt on
us while doing our duty, but it is bad to
be careless and let it remain there.
Cleanliness applies to the stomach and
mouth as well as to the mere surface OF the
person. BE careful as to what you eat, and
particularly be careful as to quantity. The
stomach can only do limited amount of
digestive work, and if overworked becomes
tired and careless, as the body docs, and
then becomes foul an6 unClean the eye be-
comes dull the brain sluggish; the breath
bad and beauty fades even from the
young
Heat and moisture cause rapid decompo-
sition Of flesh and vegetable substances.
After we have eaten breakfast, dinner or
supper, there are PARTICLES of food left in
the mouth, between and adhering to the
teeth If the mouth is not washed or clean
ed Of these particles with toothpick, they
decay. Only think of carrying decayed
matter in Your mouth! Yet every one does
it who does not clean his mouth and teeth.
You can always tell, the moment you see a
person, whether or not he takes care Of his
mouth and teeth. Little girls and boys,
young men and women, if you want to be
cheerful and noble when you have matured;
if you want a sound mind and pure
spirit in a sweet, lovely body, keep clean.

COMMONPLACE.

"A commonplace life" we say, and We sigh
Bot why should we SIGH as we say?
The commonplace sun n the commonplace sky
Makes up the cOmmonl lace day;
The moon and the stars are commonplace things,
And the flower that blooms, and the bird that sings
But dark were the world, and sad our lot,
II the flowers all failed and the shOne not;
And God, who studies each separate soul,
Ou Of commonplace lives makes his beautiful whole.
