FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
WHAT The CLOTHES DID.

Mother called, and called, and Father called.
and Kate:
johnny Johnny! Get up, johnny! John,
get up, It's late!'
Not ripple, all our shouting, on the current
of his dreams.
Others though, were lighter sleepers. Some
thing else was reused, it seems.
First a rustic, then whisper, then queer
and mutlled cry
From the nook where Johnny's jacket
CHANGED in tumbled state to lie
"Fie upon this lazy Johnny Brother Clothes,
observe the sun!
Two full hours ago, believe me, was this
glorious day begun
Piped the cap from off the washstand: sob,
the sky is blue and red!
What a Joy to look up at it from the top of
Johnnys headw
Groaned the shoes beneath the bureau: "Ah,
the grass is cool and sweet
What frolc with the clover were we once
on Johnny's feet"
Socks and shirt and tie and trousers in in
dignant chorus cried
ats a shame to make us lie here when the
worlds so fine outside"
"Friends," the socks cried, "let us punish
this great sleepy, lazy lout.
We, at least, when he does want us, will be
found turned inside out!"
Instantly the shirt assented, muttering with
sarcastic cough:
"rve a button, Master Johnny, which fear
is coming OFF"
And the shoestrings from the bureau added
themselves to the plot:
"When Sir Johnny goes to tie us he will find
an ugly knot"
Said the cap: "Ill run and hide me-" The
suspenders, old and thin,.
Threatened breaking, and the necktie in.
nocently lost its pin.
Thus they schemed and thus they plotted, till
at length persistent Kate
Woke up lazy Master Johnny at precisely
half past eight
And the school at nine! Young Johnny, half
shut eyes and sleepy face,
Falls to dressing in panic, at most alarm
ing pace.
But the shirt sticks at his elbows as he tries
to draw it on,
| And, in all his lifetime, never were the socks
so hard to don
| The suspenders break. A button impolitely
takes its leave
Johnny's left arm gets acquainted with the
| right arm jacket sleeve.
The shoe strings knot and tangle, and un'
seasonably snap.
And "Oh, Mother where's my Reader" anC
"Oh, Mother, where's my capY
! There's a hurry and a worry and grumblt
and fret,
And very scanty breakfast is the best thai
| he can get
81 do wonder" thought young John n.
stumbling, tardy, to his place
In the midst of tttering schoolmates, with {
very shcepish face,
"Whats the reason all goes wrong when {
chap has oversight"
! But he never understood it, for the clothes
| their secret kept.
Amos X. Wells, in Christian Union.
