"Politeness is to do, and say
The kindest thing, in the kindest way."
"There, children," said the queen, "you see how it is. Politeness comes from a kind heart, and it makes a child lovely, and beloved, whether she lives in the hut or the palace."
THE VALLEY OF GRUMP.
BY MARGARET COLTON.
The Valley of Grump is a sad, sad place,
And a dangerous pitfall, too,
So easy it seems to slip into its depths—
And some of the little folks do!
