What Our Boys Must Learn.
To CULTIVATE a cheerful temper. To choose their friends among good boys. To sew on their own buttons. Not to tease boys or girls smaller than themselves. To take pride in being a little gentleman at home. To be polite and helpful to their own sisters as they are to other boys' sisters. To treat their mother as politely as if she were a strange lady, who did not spend her life in their service. To feel a noble pride in making their mother and sisters their best friends. If they do anything wrong, to take their mothers into their confidence, and, above all, never to lie about anything they have done. Not to take the easiest chair in the room, and put it directly in front of the fire, and forget to offer it to their mother when she comes in to sit down. Not to grumble or refuse when asked to do some errand which must be done, and which otherwise will take the time of some one who has more to do than themselves. To make up their minds not to learn to smoke, to chew, to drink, remembering that these things cannot be unlearned, and that they are terrible drawbacks to good men, and necessities to bad ones.—Exchange.
