A BOY'S COMPOSITION.

BREATH is made of air. We breathe always with our lungs, and sometimes with our livers, except at night, when our breath keeps life going through our noses while we are asleep. If it wasn't for our breath, we should die whenever we slept. Boys that stay in a room all day should not breathe—they should wait till they get outdoors. For a lot of boys staying in a room make carbonicide; and carbonicide is more poisonous than mad dogs, tho not just the same way. It does not bite, but that's no matter as long as it kills you.—Selected.
