that letter dated Utica, N. Y. and
signed Julia 3. = guess If he knew
as. much about that, rs do, he would
feel like cutting my acquaintance, if
not my body too. So ways the
world. ALL yes, had entirely for
gotten that sweet little piece of cali
co cut from some ones dress. Let
me sec, pears to me have seen
some like this somewhere; I'll lay
you aside for the present and the first
leisure moments ! have shall be spent
in looking for the dress you came
from. What a history might write
upon that one little scrap of calico
and the circumstances under which |
obtained it. The poet says, @man 5
inhumanity to man makes countless
thousands mourn" but if mans in
humanity to woman don't make
countless millions mourn, then death
to the sinner has no sting. There is
great deal Of consistency in my
life, preaching to Others what | don t
practice myself : but that's no. diff
ference. / eau relate the facts fir the
benefit Of others; and like. the preach
ers tel you "not to do as do, bu.
do as | say Since Eve first tasted
of thej forbidden fruit in para
disc, up to the present time, suf-
fering with two fold force has been
visited upon her sex. Eve could not
withstand the temptation Of the SER
pent, and her lrailty and weakness
has been handed down from genera
ton to generation unto the present
time. So it was in this case. She,
who perhaps for listening to the syr-
en- voice Of the temper, whispered
through the impulses Of a vitiated
mind, fed by novels and like trash,
and fell a victim to her own weak
ness, might have been an ornament
to the first circle, an honor 10 her
parents, and blessing to herself. Sc
cretly and under false pretences she
relinquished her right 10 woman S
station to assume the garb of SER
want, fooIishly thinking 10 escape de-
lection. Devils laughed and angels
wept over her fall Let reason rule,
and to the wise'a hint should be SUI
ficient. A kind word of advice from
one who has travelled NIL along that
dangerous road in pursuit of his VIC
tim, slet me beseech you to avoid
light reading as you would poison
Shun the company Of him who has
no respect for his parents or the sab
bath, save from policy, and who is
constantly making love to some one,
In short, always be Oh your guard,
for you cannot tell when you are in
danger. Watch him with an eagle
eye who would kiss you a hundred
times day, If you would permit it.
If you grant him the favor when in
company he will expect it when
alone, and so on step by step until
he enlists your feelings in his favor;
then good bye you re shipwreckeds
Should young MN take offence at
any thing without sufficient cause.
take no notice Of it, for if he ask
your pardon it is only to impress it
on your mind he did in consideration
Of his great love for you, aud the first
good opportunity be gets, he will ruin
you to crafty Il petty reyenge.-
Take notice, these are the ways and
means, that is a few Of them,by which
some not alp accomplish their ends
Well. we'll! | have written several
lines about that little piece of calico,
and what do they all amount to? =
Not much. guess; still if they
should be the humble Instrument Of
saving one Of God creatures from a
state worse than death, | would be
satisfied; bat alas they are too much
like sinners, they have had warming
after warming, aud still they will not
heed i As said before. will lay
the calico aside, and see what have
here: letter-the light of womans
life. Well, let's see what's inside
! picked it up in the street, and as |
am not over scrupulous about small
matters, here goes the seal aud then
for an internal examination us Jonah
said to the whale.
