So likewise with study: 81 never

too p~erplexing, mathematics too
hard, history dry; and SO on, to the
end of the chapter.
And so Mary "can't' because she
thinks she can't. And she is appa-
rently contented to grow up a cipher;
no ability at housekeeping, no must
clan, no student-destined to be a
"back number" to the end of life.
But that is not necessary. She can,
if she thinks she can, and will "put
her best foot forward" and more,
Just use both of them. That is just
the difference between girls" One
gives up before half trying, and the
other is determined to succeed, and
does succeed, because of that I'M

"Mother, may I go out visiting

Mathew.
eyes, you may. You may go to
see Ella, or to see Louie, whichever
you like"
"Td rather go to Louie's," said
Agnes, quickly.
"Why?" asked Aunt Esther, who
was sewing by the window. Hasn't
Ella a great many dolls and beauti-
full toys? And then, there is the
pony-cart."
"I know" said Agnes, "but it
doesn't matter how many nice things
she has, just as soon as we begin to
play she begins to wish she had some
thing different, and it unsettles my
mind so much. But when I play with
Louie, if we want anything that we
haven't got, she can generally think
of something else which will do as
we'll; or else she says that we can do
without very nicely. She's lots
cheerfuller about doing without
things than Ella is, and it's much
more fun to play with her"
Aunt Esther looked across Agnes
at her mother and smiled.
"The same old truth" she said.
OTIS the spirit within that makes the
world without fair or dark"
"What is spirit, mothers" asked
Agnes, presently.
Her mother thought a minute.
"Well, dear, it's the. way we think
in our hearts. If we have happy,
thankful thoughts they give us a
contented spirit, and that makes the
world bright for us. Nothing else
can"
Agnes nodded her head very wisely
eyes, mother, I believe that's just
the truth. Louie's got a c~ontented
spirit, and she enjoys it a great deaI
more than Ella does all her dolls and
her pony cart and everything. Be.
sides, it makes her just lovely com

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
June.

~
Nothing so new as this old sweet
Nothing so sweet or so passing
A master poem in matchless rhyme,
An idyl of love in earth and air
The world Astounding in calm con-
tent,
From the lush warm earth to the
armament.
Roses and roses and roses more,
F1inging from petals their rare
perfume,
Such wonderful waste-such prodi-
gal store,
That eager we wonder If there be
room
For another drop of this nectar
flood
That wells in heart of flower and
bud.
June, with a heart of melting gold
The petted child of the doting
year
With charms and sweetness mani
fold,
It's buds and blossoms and leafy
gear!
Oh, what is so rare as this month
of June,
With the whole, sweet world in per-
feet tune!

A Girl Can, If She Thinks She Can.

I was walking down a certain
street in a certain New England
city, when l came across a girl
Jumping rope"
Just before reaching her she
jumped rope on cone foot" Her
face was all aglow, and her breath
was rapid, showing that she had been
exerting herself.
I stopped for a moment, and said:
"Well, you can jump rope on one
foot, can't you" Instantly, in an
open, frank way, she answered: eyes,
I can jump rope on foot; I can
jump rope on two feet; and I could
jump rope on three feet, if I had
'em!"
We both laughed at the unexpect-
ed but lively little reply, and I
passed OF.
But l fell to musing over that lit
tie Jump rope" outburst. ct can, I
can, and I could if" How many
times I have heard girls say "I
can't!" They have said it so often,
and concerning every proposition,
that it has come to be second nature
to say, ooh, I can't" There are
clothes to mend. "Mary, will you
mend them?" ooh, I can't! I don't
know how to use the thimble" And
that is a fact. Despite mothers urg-
ing and offer to "show her how"
Mary had really refused to learn, and
the sewing she had sometimes done
had always left needle scars on
thumb and finger. She could have
learned if she would, and then, how
rapidly the weeks mending would
have disappeared!
And so with her "~practice," al.
though mother warns her with "YoU
will so wish you had, when asked, il
the years to come, to entertain al
home or in society" But her q
can't" is coupled with the hope thai
she can not only own a piano, but
"pianola," that does the playing
for her!
