MOTHER'S RULES.
A place for each thing, And each thing in its place ; You can go in the dark And each, article trace. Whatever is worth doing Is worth doing well ; Take time for your working, Your work will excel. Be quiet and steady, Haste only makes waste ; Steps hurriedly taken Must needs be retraced. A hid habit cured la a good one begun ; The beginning make right, Aud your work is half doneWhat you should do to day You must never postpone ; Delay steals your moments And makes you a drone. Never say "I cannot," But " I'll try, try again "—" — Let this be at all times Your cheerful refrain. Be content with your lot, Be bright asthe sun ; Be kind and be true — All wickedness shun. Love God and your neighbour, The Golden Rule keep ; Walk dailywith Jesus, Aud in His love sleep. — Yours truly, Herman Pinn. Clark street, North-East Valley, January 28.
