Cleanliness

As a rule, evory boy and girl, every young man and woman who will, can havo olean clothes, a olean body, clean face, hands and feet, clean teetli, atd a clean, Stoeet breath. Now, in your own niind, contrast cleanünesa with its oppo.Mte. If we are only seeking to please the eye, the l'ormer is worth all tho care necessary to secure it ; we o lartber than this, however. No one can be carelsss of his perMin, and utcleon in bis habits. without producing or penietuating like disorder in niind, and in all hc does. Onr hndits are covered with innumerable pores or holes, so small that the naked eye cannot see theui, and through llMM is, m-.shou.d be, a constant passie of eflete dead matter. In warm weather we are made sensible of this (act by the ln-r-piration which stands upon our faces and hands, or satuatcs our clothes. This effort of' the syoteui to cleanse itself inside is constant, whetber we kniw it or not. Siippone now that you neglect to keep your body clean outside ; these littlc holes are stopped, the dead matter whicii should come out is kept in, the blood becomes imjiure, the brain weuries or gets lazy, we are lazy all over ; thon we are slack and carelesh ; we do not like to study or think, eveu of' nice thiogs, aud io we are injured all thiou;b if we do not keep the surface of (be body olean. Of course, while we are :it work nr play, we get our clothes, face and hands toiled, and sometimes our wliole budits are oovered with du.-t and pi rspiration ; t hen what a luxury it is to iiatln' ! It is not bad that wc sometimes get dirt on us while doing onr duty, but it is bad to be careless and let it reuiain I not flatter ; in doing so you embarrass those upon whoai you bestow praise, as thfly may not wish to off'nd you by repeÜini; it. and yet thcy realizo that if they tnepl 11 tli.v mcrit your conti'uipt. You may, huwver, eotuuiead thair work whenjver it can trutlifully be done ; but do not bestow praiso when not deserved.
