4 Go to bed early， get up early——this is wise. Some authoritiessay get up with the sun; some others say get up with one thing， somewith another， But a lark is really the best thing to get up with. It givesyou a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get upwith the lark; and if you get the fight kind of lark， and work at himright， you can easily train him to get up at half past nine， everytime——its no trick at all. 5 Now as to the matter of lying. You want to be very carefulabout lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get caught. Once caught，you can never again be， in the eyes to the good and the pure， whatyou were before. Many a young person has injured himselfpermanently through a single clumsy and ill-finished lie， the result ofcarelessness born of incomplete training. Some authorities hold thatthe young ought not to lie at all. That of course， is putting it ratherstronger than necessary; still while I cannot go quite so far as that， ！do maintain， and I believe I am fight， that the.young ought to betemperate in the use of this great art until practice and experienceshall give them that confidence， elegance， and precision which alonecan make the accomplishment graceful and profitable. Patience，diligence， painstaking attention to detailmthese are requirements;these in time， will make the student perfect; upon these only， may herely as the sure foundation for future eminence.
