When she sees a hole in any of her clothes, she mends it, or asks her mother to have it mended. She does not wait till it is very large, for then she knows it would be more work. She does not like to see any thing wasted. Shenever throws away,or burns crumbs of bread, peelings offruit,or small pieces of cloth For she knows that the chickens, and little birds will eat the crumbs. And she has seen the pigs feeding on the peelings of fruit. She knows that paper is made out of rags, so she saves them all. As soon as she is old enough, she irons her own clothes and makes her own bed. She likes to feed the chickens, and the young turkeys, and to give them clean water to drink. She likes to work in her little garden, to weed it, and to sow seeds,and plant roots in it. She always likes to be busy, and useful, and will do any thing to assist her mother. If all little girls were so good, how much happier they would be. They would give joy to their parents, and comfort to all their friends. Do not be curious to know, what people do not wish to tell you. Do not look at their letters, or what they are writing, unless they give you leave. Do not listen at doors or other places where the people who are talking, do not see you: 'pent,forifthou comestnear it, it will bite thee. The teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lipn, slaying the souls of men. Some boys one day got a pigeon that was iame,and its wings being cut, it could not fly, So they put it down to be thrown at with a stick ; that he who should knock it down, should have it. But just as they were going to throw, little Mary came along, and begged them to stop, and said she would buy the bird. How much, said she, must I give for it? Six cents, said one of the boys I have but sour cents, said Mary ; take my money; I do not want the bird; but do not use it ill. How should we like to be thrown at with sticks, and stones ? The poor birds can feel pain, as well as boys and girls.: And it is not right, for sport, to hurt any of God's creatures ; we should use them with mercy. So they took Mary's money, and gave her the bird. These were cruel boys. 1 1 child eat ache blind comb chyle eel aim bray croic chose each aid bribe chafe coach ease bean blithe chain close east beef bride chase court eaves blowo bleat claim change fail both bleach cease chaste feel boat beast cheap cheat free blame breeze cheek cheese fear baize blight chief cleave foam bathe bright dean clothes faith blaze broach dear cruise flail board bruise day drive flame braid cry door droll forge bleak coal dose drove frame braze coax dream dry force I have seen the wicked'in great power ; spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not: I sought him ; but he could not be found. A little that a righteous man hath, is better than the riches of many wicked. For the arm of the wicked shall be broken; but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, but now am old; yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread, Mark the perfect man; and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace; 1 1 1 mourn our trail meal field goat gross key fly gore grove knee mode fiend gauge grieve lean more freak glaze heave keep most fight graze heap least may floor gleam baste leap nail folka glean high leak nigh fruit ghost host lieu nose fleece green height load nice feast great hoard loaf night flight grief hoarse lease near fright guile jail light old gay guide joke loathe own gain globe juice league oath gaze guise knife meek oak glee gourd know mere The good Scholar.
