THE BOY WHO FORGETS.
1 love him, the boy who forgets! Does it seem such a queer thing to sax Can’t help it; lie’s «ne of my pets; Delightful at woik or at play. I'd trust him with all that 1 own, And know neither worries nor frets; But the secret of this lies alone In the things that the laddie forgets. He always foigets to pay back The boy who has done him an ill; Forgets vhat a grudge he owes Jack, And smile;, at him pleasantly still. He always foigets ’tis his turn To choose what the others shall play; forgets about others to learn The gossipy things that “they say.” He forgets to look sulky and cross When things are not goin.r his way. Forgets someone’s gain is his loss ; Forgets, in his worktime, his play. This is why I must take his part; Why I sav he is one c f mv pets; I repeat it with all of my heart: I love him for what he forgets. —St. Nicholas.
