FORTY-FIRST READING LESSON.

POLITENESS IN CHILDREN.

COW few children think it worth while to be polite to their playmates and intimate friends! By politeness I do not mean a great deal of unnecessary bowing and courtesying, but that delicate attention to the comfort of those around us that springs from a kind, generous heart.

How many children enter a room without noticing, respectfully, those who are older than themselves. I have seen them come in on a cold winter day, and draw their chairs before the fire in such a way that those who were sitting back could scarcely feel the warmth of it, and this without any apology for such a breach of politeness.

Sometimes they interrupt those in the room when they are engaged in conversation, by asking some foolish question, instead of waiting, as they should do, until an opportunity is given them to speak. Then they are impolite to their playmates, and to their sisters and brothers. Instead of cheerfully assisting when their help is needed, they leave them to help themselves.

Some boys think it beneath them to

be polite to a sister.

I feel sad when I see such a boy. But there are many who think differently. I recollect that I used to meet a fine, manly lad last winter, drawing his little sister to school on a little cart. Her rosy cheeks bore testimony that his politeness was not thrown away upon her. She would pat his cheek with her hand, and call him her kind brother.

He would frequently meet boys of his acquaintance who would urge him to leave his sister, and go with them to play. He would answer them, "Yes, when I have taken little Emma to school." I never saw him impatient when he was walking with his little sister because she could not keep up with him; and he never would run away and leave her. Do you not think that boy was a good brother?

He was always kind and polite to his sister, and to all. Do you think he will forget to be polite as he grows older? No, for it will become a habit with him; and these little attentions which cost him nothing, and are so gratifying to those who receive them, will gain him many a friend.

Love your own chair better than another's couch.

FORTY-SECOND (POETICAL) READING LESSON.

LITTLE CHILDREN, LOVE

ONE ANOTHER.

A LITTLE girl with a happy look,
Sat slowly reading a ponderous book,
All bound with velvet and edged with
gold;

And its weight was more than the

child could hold:

Yet dearly she loved to ponder it o'er,
And every day she prized it more;
For it said and she looked at her
smiling Mother,

It said, "Little children, love one another."

She thought it was beautiful in the book, And the lesson home to her heart she took. She walked on her way with a trusting

grace,

And a dove-like look in her meek young face,

Which said, just as plain as words could say,

The Holy Bible I must obey;

So, Mama, I'll be kind to my darling brother,

For "Little children must love each other."

I'm sorry he's naughty, and will not play,
But I'll love him still, for I think the way
To make him gentle and kind to me,
Will be better shown if I let him see
I strive to do what I think is right:
And thus when we kneel in prayer
to-night,

I will clasp my arms around my brother, "Little children, love one

And say,

another."

The little girl did as the Bible taught, And pleasant indeed was the change it wrought;

For the boy looked up, in glad surprise, To meet the light of her loving eyes; His heart was full, he could not speak, He pressed a kiss on his sister's cheek, And God looked down on the happy mother,

Whose little children loved each other.

RULES OF SCHOOL.

I SHOULD come early every day,
And all my teacher's rules obey-
Be here before the school begins,
And silent when the signal rings.
My clothes and person should be neat,
I should not mar my desk nor seat;
My books I should not soil nor tear,
Nor aught about the room impair.
I should not whisper, talk, nor play,
Nor idly while my time away;
But get my lessons well and fast,
For soon my school-days will be past.

I should not quarrel, swear, nor lie,
Tell tales, deceive, nor angry be;
Nor do to others, things that I
Dislike to have them do to me.

Blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed.

Who endeavours not to get before, finds himself behind.
