such,a hurry to be grown-up and
away from home. Life will never
give You anything sweeter, better,
happier than you have now. No

no companionship like that of your
brothers and sisters. Even to the
man WHO loves you. you will not be

who learned TO walk and to talk,
and was prettier than any other ba
by ever was; nor the little girl who
was so wonderful "a genius when she
played her first tune on the piano,
or worked her first bookmark. He
who falls in love with you will have
known twenty pretty girls, and
have been in love with halt of them.
In some things you will fall short of
some one he has known. Your eyes
will not be as fine as those of Miss
Lavina, and YOU will not make cake
as his mother does. Here you have
been perfection. even if prudence
kept your parents from saying so;
they can not believe anyone quite
so nice as our Lilly. Then linger a
little whore some one else shoulders
the burdens and gives You all the
ease; where the love is love that
does not change because of new
face, where the fonder YOU are the
more you are adOred.-Ex.
