A Word to Boys.
You are made to be kind, boys, gener-ous,-magnanimous. If there is a boy in school who has a club foot, don’t let him know’ you ever saw it. If there is a poor boy with ragged clothes, don’t talk about rtigs in his hearing. If there is a lame boy, assign him some part in the game that doesn’t require running. If there is a hungry 'one, give him part of your dinner, if there is a dull one help him to get bis lesson. If there is a bright one, be not envious of him ; for if one boy is proud of his talents, and another is envious of them, there are two great wrongs, and no more talent than before. If a larger or stronger boy has injured yon, and is sorry for it, forgive him ; all the school will show by their countenances how much better it is than to have a great fuss. American paper.
