A BOY TAKES HIS VIEW OF GIRLS.

Girls are the most unaccountable things in the world, except women. Like the wicked flea, when you have them they ain't there. I can cipher clean over to improper fractions, and the teacher says Ido first rate ; but I can't cipher out a girl, proper or improper, and you can't either. The enly rnle in arithmetic that hits their" case is the double rnle of two. They are as full of Old Nick as their skins can hold, and they would die if they couldn't torment somebody. When they try to be mean, they are as mean as pusley, though they ain't, as mean as they let on, except sometimes, and then they are a good deal meaner. The only way to get along with a girl when she comes at you with her nonsense is to give her tit for tat, and that will fiurnmux her ; oncl when you get a girl flummuxed she is as nice as a new pin. A girl can sow more wild oats in a day than a boy can sow in a year ; but girls get their wild oat& sowed after a while, which boys never do, and they settle down as calm and placid as a mud puddle. But I like girls first-rate, and I guess the boj's all do. I don't care how many tricks they play on me — and they don't care either. The hoitytoitiest girls in the world can't always boil over like a glass of soda. By-ancl-by they wi4l get into- the traces with somebody they like, and pull as steady as an okl horse. That is the beauty of them. So let them wave, I say ; they will ptiy fV>r it some day,, sewing on buttons and tiying to make a decent roan of the feller they have spliced on to, and the chances are ten to one if they don't get the worst of it.
