WHAT YOUNG LADIES CAN DO.
"Why did you not take the arm of my
brother last nightl' said a young lady to
her friend, very intelligent girl, about 10,
in large town near Lake Ontario. She
replied, Because knew him to be a Ii
centious man." "Nonscnse," was the
answer of the sister, ''if you refuse the
attentions of lcentious men, you will have
none, can assure you." "Very well, y

them altcgether-for my resolution on this
point is unalterably fxed." How long

Another.--Not long since, the husband
of a lady in one Of the western towns IN this
State, invited a gentleman 10 dine with HIM,
whose character as lbertine was publicly
known. The lady was friend OF moral
reform, and moreover possessed so much
independence of thought and feeling, that
she was not afraid to follow the dictates of
conscience. Accordingly, she maintained
profound silence to her unwelcome
guest, not even answering the questions he
addressed to her. During dinner, she was
polite in her attention, but spake not one
word to him, and as soon as possible left
the table. He complained bitterly to the
husband of this conduct, and said he never
received such treatment in his life. "What
can be the matter with your wife? She has
not spoken TO me since l come into the
house" The husband professed ignor-
once of the cause, and when his friend was
gone, inquired of his wife the reasons for
her singular treatment of his guest. She
replied, ,"You know very we'll that he is a
licentious man. If you choose to invite

Did the noble stand taken by this lady,

husband, or even in that of his proalgate

awed by the majesty Of virtue, and 1t will
command their involuntary respect and ad-
miration. We have often said, and we re-

where the character is known to be Dad,
