<h2>LESSON XII.</h2>
<div class='chaptertitle'>MANNERS IN BORROWING.</div>
<p><span class="smcap">It</span> is an old saying, "He that goes borrowing goes
sorrowing"; but it might often be more truly said of
the one to whom the borrower goes.</p>
<p>We should be more careful of a borrowed article
than if it were our own. If we are so unfortunate
as to injure or lose it, we should replace it, if it can
be done; if not, make the best possible apology.
We have no right to lend a borrowed thing to an
other without the owner's permission. Perhaps nothing
is treated in this way oftener than a book. People
who consider themselves honest and just will
lend a borrowed book to half a neighborhood, and if
it is defaced or lost will give themselves no concern
about it.</p>
<p>It is not polite to borrow a garment to wear except
of a relative or intimate friend. Neither is it good
manners to ask for a garment or pattern to cut one
by for ourselves: the owner may prefer not to have
it copied. If a person admires a garment or pattern
belonging to us, and we are willing to lend it, it is
our place to offer it without its being asked for.</p>
<p>If a book or article to read is lent us, we should
read it promptly, and when we return it say whatever
pleasant things we can of it with truth. To send it
back without expressing an opinion, or making <SPAN name="acknowledgment" id="acknowledgment"></SPAN>acknowledgment
of the kindness, is inexcusable.<span class="pagenum"><SPAN name="Page_84" id="Page_84"></SPAN></span></p>
<p>If we borrow something which is not to be returned
itself, but its equivalent, we should be careful
to return what is of as good or better quality, and
as much in quantity, if not a little more, to make up
for the trouble of the one who lends to us.</p>
<p>It is not polite to keep a borrowed article long;
and if a time for returning it is specified, we should
be careful not to neglect doing it when the time
comes. If possible, we should return it ourselves,
not give it to the owner to carry home or send it by
another; and we should never omit to thank the
lender. To compel the owner to send for his property
is a gross violation of good manners on the part
of the borrower. The owner should not send unless
he feels that he can wait no longer, or unless the
borrower is habitually careless and needs to be taught
a lesson.</p>
<p>"I never ask a gentleman to return money he has
borrowed," said one man to another.</p>
<p>"How then do you get it?" asked his friend.</p>
<p>"After a while," was the answer, "I conclude he
is not a gentleman, and then I ask him."</p>
<p>This reasoning will apply in case of lending other
things as well as money.</p>
<p>When we lend we should do so with cordial politeness
and not spoil the favor by the half-hearted way
in which we offer or grant it; but borrowing should
be regarded as a necessary evil, to be resorted to only
when it cannot well be avoided. The habitual borrower
is a burden to society.</p>

<div class="hang1">By <span class="smcap">Thomas Wentworth Higginson</span>. Illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>The story of our country in the most reliable and interesting form. As a
story-book it easily leads all other American history stories in interest, while as
a text-book for the study of history it is universally admitted to be the best.</p>
<div class='unindent'><br/><span class='u'><i><b>Young Folks' Book of American Explorers</b></i></span></div>
<div class="hang1">By <span class="smcap">Thomas Wentworth Higginson</span>. Uniform with the "Young Folks'
History of the United States." One volume, fully illustrated. Price $1.50.</div>
<p>"It is not a history told in the third person, nor an historical novel for young
folks, where the author supposes the chief characters to have thought and said
such and such things under such and such circumstances; but it is the genuine
description given by the persons who experienced the things they described in
letters written home."—<i>Montpelier Journal.</i></p>

Folks' History of England," "Young Folks' History of Ireland," etc.
Price 50 cents.</div>
<p>"To tell the story of a nation like ours in a nutshell, requires a peculiar
faculty for selecting, condensing, and philosophizing. The brevity with which
he relates the principal events in American history, does not detract from the
charming interest of the narrative style."—<i>Public Opinion.</i></p>
<div class='unindent'><br/><span class='u'><i><b>Young People's History of England</b></i></span></div>
<div class="hang1">By <span class="smcap">George Makepeace Towle</span>. Cloth, illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>"The whole narrative is made interesting and attractive—in every way
what a book of this kind should be in its clearness of statement, freshness of
style, and its telling of the right ways."—<i>Critic.</i></p>
<div class='unindent'><br/><span class='u'><i><b>Handbook of English History</b></i></span></div>
<div class="hang1">Based on "Lectures on English History," by the late <span class="smcap">M. J. Guest</span>, and

English Literature of the 19th Century. By <span class="smcap">F. H. Underwood, LL.D.</span>
With Maps, Chronological Table, etc. $1.50.</div>
<p>"It approaches nearer perfection than anything in the line we have seen.
It is succinct, accurate, and delightful."—<i>Hartford Evening Post.</i></p>

by <span class="smcap">John Boyle O'Reilly</span>. Cloth, illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>"The history is like a novel, increasing in interest to the very end, and
terminating at the most interesting period of the whole; and the reader lays
down the book a moment in enthusiastic admiration for a people who have
endured so much, and yet have retained so many admirable characteristics."—<i>N.Y.

<div class='center'><b>AN AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD.</b><br/>
By <span class="smcap">Adeline F. Trafton</span>. 16mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>One of the most bright, chatty, wide-awake books of travel ever written. It abounds
with information, is as pleasant reading as a story book, and full of the wit and sparkle of
"An American Girl" let loose from school and ready for a frolic.</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>ONLY GIRLS.</b><br/>
By <span class="smcap">Virginia F. Townsend</span>, Author of "That Queer Girl," &c., &c. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>"It is a thrilling story, written in a fascinating style, and the plot is adroitly handled."</p>
<p>It might be placed in any Sabbath School library, so pure is it in tone, and yet it is so
free from the mawkishness and silliness that mar the class of books usually found there,
that the veteran novel reader is apt to finish it at a sitting.</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>THE DOCTOR'S DAUGHTER.</b>
<br/>By <span class="smcap">Sophie May</span>, Author of "Our Helen," "The Asbury Twins," &c. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>"A delightful book, original and enjoyable," says the <i>Brownville Echo</i>.</p>
<p>"A fascinating story, unfolding, with artistic touch, the young life of one of our impulsive,
sharp-witted, transparent and pure-minded girls of the nineteenth century,"
says <i>The Contributor</i>, Boston.</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>SALLY WILLIAMS.</b><br/>
<b>The Mountain Girl.</b> By Mrs. <span class="smcap">Edna D. Cheney</span>, Author of "Patience," "Social
Games," "The Child of the Tide," &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.</div>
<p>Pure, strong, healthy, just what might be expected from the pen of so gifted a writer
as Mrs. Cheney. A very interesting picture of life among the New Hampshire hills,
enlivened by the tangle of a story of the ups and downs of every-day life in this out-of-the-way
locality. The characters introduced are quaintly original, and the adventures
are narrated with remarkable skill.</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>LOTTIE EAMES.</b><br/>
<b>Or, do your best and leave the rest.</b> By a Popular Author. 16mo, illus. $1.50.</div>
<p>"A wholesome story of home life, full of lessons of self-sacrifice, but always bright
and attractive in its varied incidents."</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>RHODA THORNTON'S GIRLHOOD.</b><br/>
By Mrs. <span class="smcap">Mary E. Pratt</span>. 16mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.</div>

fishing and other frolics to make things lively.</p>

<div class='center'><br/><b>SEVEN DAUGHTERS.</b><br/>
By Miss <span class="smcap">A. M. Douglas</span>, Author of "In Trust," "Stephen Dane," "Claudia,"<br/>
"Sydnie Adriance," "Home Nook," "Nelly Kennard's Kingdom."<br/>
12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.<br/></div>
<p>"A charming romance of Girlhood," full of incident and humor. The "Seven
Daughters" are characters which reappear in some of Miss Douglas' later books. In
this book they form a delightful group, hovering on the verge of Womanhood, with
all the little perplexities of home life and love dreams as incidentals, making a fresh and
attractive story.</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>OUR HELEN.</b><br/>
By <span class="smcap">Sophie May</span>. 12mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.<br/></div>
<p>"The story is a very attractive one, as free from the sensational and impossible as
could be desired, and at the same time full of interest, and pervaded by the same bright,
cheery sunshine that we find in the author's earlier books. She is to be congratulated
on the success of her essay in a new field of literature, to which she will be warmly welcomed
by those who know and admire her 'Prudy Books.'"—<i>Graphic.</i></p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>THE ASBURY TWINS.</b><br/>
By <span class="smcap">Sophie May</span>, Author of "The Doctor's Daughter," "Our Helen," &c. 12mo,<br/>
cloth, illustrated. $1.50.<br/></div>
<p>"Has the ring of genuine genius, and the sparkle of a gem of the first water. We
read it one cloudy winter day, and it was as good as a Turkish bath, or a three hours'
soak in the sunshine."—<i>Cooperstown Republican.</i></p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>THAT QUEER GIRL.</b><br/>
By Miss <span class="smcap">Virginia F. Townsend</span>, Author of "Only Girls," &c. 12mo, cloth, illustrated.<br/>
$1.50.<br/></div>
<p>Queer only in being unconventional, brave and frank, an "old-fashioned girl," and
very sweet and charming. As indicated in the title, is a little out of the common track,
and the wooing and the winning are as queer as the heroine. The <i>New Haven
Register</i> says: "Decidedly the best work which has appeared from the pen of Miss
Townsend."</p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>RUNNING TO WASTE.</b><br/>
<b>The Story of a Tomboy.</b> By <span class="smcap">George M. Baker</span>. 16mo, cloth, illustrated.<br/>
$1.50.<br/></div>
<p>"This book is one of the most entertaining we have read for a long time. It is well
written, full of humor, and good humor, and it has not a dull or uninteresting page.
It is lively and natural, and overflowing with the best New England character and
traits. There is also a touch of pathos, which always accompanies humor, in the life
and death of the tomboy's mother."—<i>Newburyport Herald.</i></p>
<div class='center'><br/><b>DAISY TRAVERS:</b><br/>
<b>Or the Girls of Hive Hall.</b> By <span class="smcap">Adelaide F. Samuels</span>, Author of "Dick and<br/>
Daisy Stories," "Dick Travers Abroad," &c. 16mo, cloth, illustrated. $1.50.<br/></div>
<p>The story of Hive Hall is full of life and action, and told in the same happy
style which made the earlier life of its heroine so attractive, and caused the Dick and
Daisy books to become great favorites with the young. What was said of the younger
books can, with equal truth, be said of Daisy grown up.</p>

<h3><b>Arranged for Young People by M. S. EMERY</b></h3>
<div class='center'>Price, boards, 30 cents net. By mail, 35 cents.</div>
<div class='cap'>AN accurate knowledge of how to attend to the every-day affairs of a
business life is, indeed, a most valuable possession. The requirements
of modern business life are manifold and exacting, demanding
technical information, and, besides, quite a degree of what may
justly be termed "cultivation." This valuable and indispensable
book covers a wide range of information of much importance, and is
designed as a text-book for schools, and for ready reference for young
people and those who need such instruction as it contains. It treats in
an attractive and clear manner subjects which bear on every-day callings,
like "Letter-writing," by which so large a percentage of business is conducted;
"Bills, Receipts, and Accounts;" "Post-Office Business," with
instructions regarding late advantages and scope of accommodation;
"Telegrams," "Express Business," "United States Money," "Savings
Banks," "National Banks," "Bank Checks," "Notes and Drafts,"
"Mortgages," "Investment and Speculation," "Taxes," "Fire Insurance,"
and "Life Insurance." These are topics conveying a general
idea of the worth of the book—topics about which business men must
know, and covering that which they who would be business men must
learn. Keeping relatively abreast of modern methods, the educators of
our day see the necessity of imparting <i>business knowledge</i>, as well as that
which is purely scientific, historical, or literary in its nature; hence, the
adaptability of "Every-Day Business" to the necessities of American
schools and our progressive ways of life.</div>

<p>"After making child-nature a special study, Miss Sparhawk offers this
little book as its result. It is designed to be used as a supplementary
reader for classes in geography, and in cases of very young children as
preparatory to the definitions and statements of text-books, which to children
so often mean nothing. Still, the author does not intend that because
this book is used all verbal explanations should be done away with; and
while it is designed to take the place of aimless and weary work, it is not
at all intended to do away with work and substitute play in its stead. The
subjects treated preclude that idea. Such topics as the following require
study and work on the part of both teacher and pupil: 'The Horizon,'
'Trees,' 'Vegetation,' 'Heat and Moisture,' 'Water-sheds,' 'Sun and
Rain,' 'Highways and Barriers,' 'From the Lakes to the Gulf,'
'Cities,' 'Mountains and Rivers,' and many more important topics, including
the continents."—<i>School Journal.</i></p>

<div class='cap'>THIS, in very truth, is a "rare gem of a book" of its character. In
common phrase, it "fills the bill" for the exceedingly useful purpose
for which it was designed. The book includes within its pages original
recitations and dialogues, charades and entertainments for school exhibitions
and home pleasure, with pieces for birthday and wedding
anniversaries, Decoration Day, and other occasional celebrations. The
foundation purpose of the book is grand,—the many varieties of composition,
which include almost numberless methods of expressing beautiful
and valuable thoughts and sentiments; the remarkable adaptability of the
pieces to elevate the mind, attract the quick and abiding interest of the
reader; the noble spirit; the persuasive and gentle rhythm; rich, yet
plain language,—render this little volume one of substantial merit and
permanent worth; and as the simple expression of great thoughts appeals
to young and old alike, so "Speaking Pieces" will find admirers other
than "little scholars and older pupils."</div>
