The good little girl always minds
what her father and mother sayst o her
and takes pains to learn whatever they
are so kind as to teach her. She is never
noisy or rude or troublesome, so they
like to have her with them and they like
to talk to her and instruct her. She has
learned to read so well and she is so
good a girl that her father has given
her several little books, which she can
read by herself whenever she likes and
she understands all that is in them.
She knows the meaning of a great
many different words and the
names of a great many countries.
cities and towns, and can find them on
the map. She can spell almost every
little sentence that her father asks her
to spell, and she can write very prettily,
even without copy, and she can do a
great many sums OH slate. Whatever
she does she takes care to do it well,
and when she is doing one thing she
tries not to think of another. If she has
made mistake or done anything wrong
she is sorry for it, and when she is told
of fault she tries to avoid it another
time. When she wants to know any
thing she asks her father or mother to
tell her, and she endeavOrs to under
stand and to remember what they say,
but if they do not think proper to
answer her questions she does not tease
them, but says, "When am older they
will perhaps instruct me-" and she
thinks about something else. She likes
to sit by her mother and sew and knit.
When she sews she does not take long

her, and she always keeps her work
very clean, for if her hands are dirty
she washes them before she begins her
work, and when she has finished it she

is but very seldom, indeed, that she
loses her thread or anything she has to
work with. She keeps her needles and
thread in her little case, and she has a
pin-cushion in which she puts her pins.
She does not stick her needles in her
sleeve or put pins in her mouth, for she

dangerous tricks, and she always

! to her. She does not like to waste
anything; she never throws away or

has seen the ragman going about gath
