A Boy’ s Essay on Girls.
“ Girls is a queer kind o f varmint.
Girls is the only thing that 1ms their
own way every time. Girls is o f several
thousand kinds, and sometimes one girl
can be like several tuousauds other
girls, if she want you to do anything.
Girls is all alike one way; they are all
like «-ats. If you rub ’em the right way
of the hair they’ll purr aud look sweet
at you. but if you rub ’em the wrong
way they'll claw you. S’ loug as you let
a girl have her own way she's nice and
sweet, but just cross her and she’ll spit
at you worse nor a cat. Girls is also
like mules; they're headstrong. I f a
girl dou't want to lielieve anything you
can’ t make her. If she knows it's so
she won’t say so. Girts is little women
if they’ re good, and if they ain’ t good
then, nor when they get big. they’ re
she-devils. That's what father said
mamma was once, when she fixed a hot
fiat-iron in the chair so he'd set dowu
ou it. ’cause she was mad at him.
Brother Joe says he don’ t like big girls,
but he does like little ones, and when I
saw him kissing Jenny Jones last Sun
day and told him what he’d said he said
he was biting her. 'cause he didn’ t like
her. I think he hurt her. for she holler
