a matrimonial incliuation. suggests the
kind Of girl he should seek for-and when
found, and circumstances prove favorable,
the one for him to marry. What a hap

paragon among women. Here is the ad.
vice-let all Walters make n note ont.
Walter, my boy. take you hold of my
arm and let us walk slow, and speak very
careful for fear that passers by may hear.
They will hear no good of themselves!
Well, my boy, some Of them would not
and some would. We will have to walk
slow, as the people are too slovenly to
clear the snow from the walks in front Of
their houses, and 1t is dangerous to travet
except In the horse walk
You are now Walter. my boy, almost
!, old enough 20 marry. The NNsEdxAre long
and it is pleasant to sit beside one you
love, and to gaze into her soul warming
eyeS-looking at the picture gallery Of
the future. To love girl, my boy, is a
good thing, and God speed you in all such
enterprises Of the heart. But, my boy,
look out. There is Jack for every Jill
be snre you have the right heart, or
better you had never known love. It's
so easy to be miserable. Be careful. my
boy, where your heart leads you to. You
never can force heart to love-love once
lost nerer returns. Prayers, tears, entrca-
ties, kindnesS--never will bring back the
holy pleasure you once knew, if. the cur

whose tears will mingIe with your own
who will smile when you smile-who will
love you, oh SO dearly. There are lots
and lots Of pretty flowers, which give no
odor. Such will never pay for making
into a boquet There are humble little
plants, growing low under hedges and be
side little cottage walls, which will yield
a rich and lasting fragrance. These are
the flowers to Gull, and these repay the
trouble of love culture. 1t is easy to let
your heart run out-hard to reel it in.
BE careful where it runs to.

they are heartless and cold. There is n
little girl in the house we just passed
Monday night fellow visits her. He sits
on the sofa and talks nonsense till mid.
night takes kiss at the door and leaves.
| Tuesday night another chap callS--the
parlor is again in use till the wee small
hours ayant the 'twal, and side by side
they sit--his hand playing with the cor
ner of ker apron string-.his toe just
touching the little slipper so prettily
peeping out from her dicSs--hiS words
those leading TO love. At last he leaves
and his tobacco stained lips have left their
nasty imprint on her cheek. Wednesday
night another fellow calls. These are all
nice young men Of course. they visit the
girl to make love to her. lie sits beside
her-his head half lying on her shoulders
his hand playing with the ring on her
lingcr-at times playfully biting the stray
curs which fall SO gloriously over her
pretty neck. Late in the night he leaves,
and promises to call again. Thursday
night another lover calls. The par or is
lit ur-the sofa is in nse--her head rests
on his shoulder--his arm is around her
waist just as it is in those girl,ruinng
waltZes, where each libertine is allowed
by polite society to hug every mans wife
till the blood is frcnzird. They talk low
and forget what they say. lie plays with
the bows to her neck tie-b bites her finger
nails in sport-telS her he is in love, and
at midnight past, the filthy fumes of gin
can be tasted from her lips. Friday night
another fellow goes to make love. lie
sits on the Sofa--!eaving room enough AT
the other end for boys coffin-he
takes both her hands in his own--hc hobs
her head close to his heart-he kisses
over and oversagan the lips which should
be sacred to some Onc--he clasps her
! about the waist and tells her he loves
he kisses her over again and leaves for
home to be salutcd on his way by every
rooster in the neighborhood.
Now Walter, my boy, it is your turu
Saturday night. That was the arrange.

No, sir, I've got through"
Right, Walter my boy, Such girl is
not the girl to make good wife of. Itis
time lost to win what you will wear with
regret. The girl who really loves-whose
heart is in reality that of a true woman
wants no crowd Of lovers. If she loves
but one, she is wronging herself to tempt
the others-if she loves all, she can love
none truly. If you wish to be happy
Walter, my boy, keep clear Of such decoys
She may love. but it is not of the kind

Let US tell you, my boy, who to win, il

Walter, my boy. there are such girls =
These are those who will wait for one
