It seems to me a very excellent thing for boys to try to please God, but I know very well that most boys care no more about it than Seizem would for your lily, Caleb.
"Now, Caleb," said she, "that's a very pretty lily; but suppose you should go and hold it before Seizem. Do you suppose he would care any thing about it?" Seizem was a great dog that belonged to Madam Rachel. "No, grandmother," said Caleb, "I don't think he would." "And suppose you were to go and pat him on his head, and tell him he was a good dog, would he care any thing about that?"
"Yes," said Dwight; "he would jump, and wag his tail, and almost laugh." "Then you see, boys, that Seizem is 'quick' and alive to praise; but to beauty of colour, and form he is insensible, and as it were, dead. The beauty makes no impression upon him at all, he is stupid and lifeless, so far as that is concerned.
