The GIRL WHO MAKES y HONE
This young girl was wise early, her
mother was wise before her, she be-
gan to acquire knowledge of how to
do work, and that familiarity with it
which robbed it OF all that was for
midable, when she had to mount a
chair to roll out her bit of dough,
and her little toy wash tub and board
had to stand on her own three.legged
stool that she might reach it, and she
stirred up her little messes and baked
her little pie all as a matter of play.
She shelled pease then and strung
beans and picked over berries and
pared fruit because others did it, and
she must have a hand in the business
of life; she followed when the beds
were made, and learned to tuck in
the under sheet at the top and the
upper sheet at the foot before she
was tall enough to do much more
than reach them; she would help lay
the table when she sat at it in high
chair; she learned with her own little
china tea-set and tiny keller to wash
the glasses first and the silver next;
she had miniature broom; she busted,
and shook her duster out Of the win
dow as she saw others do; she had a
place for everything, and returned
everything to its place as soon as it
was no longer needed, till it became a
habit. Proud was she when she was
allowed to make a fire; when her
father tasted the first serious dish she
put together; when her first loaf Of
bread cut light and white and sweet;
when her tea-biscuit were pronounced
as good as her mothers; when she
was promoted to puddings, to cup
cake, to pie-paste, to fruit-cake, to
preserves; when her first jelly translu-
cent as stained glass, her pickles were
at last put on an equality with her
grandmother's. And if she lived on
farm, this child of a wise mother,
she knew by this time how to make
butter, and perhaps the cheese, to
prepare the sausage meat, to pickle
the pigs feet, to make the Drawn.
This familiarity with work the wise
average mother has seen to it that
her child acquired, almost without
knowing that she did SO, even when
there was servant in the house, and,
if it were necessary, only experiment
ally, so that when the day of trial
came, it was no day of trial at all to
her. The daughter may prefer her
book, her piano, her pencil; it is to
be hoped she does; but she is ready
and equal to her broom, her sauce
pan, and her fat-iron. She goes
about her work so quickly, so deity,
with such knowledge, neither spilling
nor gathering, that it hardly seems
to be work, and the results are
wrought so easily that you feel as if
it were all a process of nature, and the
dainty meal, the clean house, the
bright lamp, came about like the sun
rise or the filing and emptying of the
tide. And the beauty of it is that
Bridget or Frederika or Gretchen or
Betsy may come or she may 60, but
this young daughter is always there.
Whether they come OF whether they
go, she is the girl that stays, she is al
ways on hand to repair their wrong,
she is the bright, willing, loving,
strong, and happy staf to lean on.
In every home where the mother has
had love and foresight, and the
daughter has had obedience and am
bition, there is perfect composure on
the subject of the sewant-girl ques-
ton. No matter what the other girls
may do, there is always-Heaven be
blessed for it!-(and unless some
lucky lover finds her out) girl that
stays.-Canadian Queen.
