WIN. u, NARDIN0 the fOI1ler host OF the
American House, placed the following upon
our table and requests it's publication which we
cheerfully do: an s. uaas
We have probably all of us met with instan.
ces in which q word heedlessy spoken against
the reputation OF female has become dark
enough to Oyershadow her whole existence.
To those who are accustomed-not necessarily
from bad motives, but from sthonghtlessness-
t. speak lightly OF females. we recommend
these hints rs worthy OF consideration: Never
use lady's name in AN improper time or in
mixed company Never assertions about her
that you think ssS untrue, or illusions that YOU
feel she herself would blush to hear. When
you meet with men who do not seruple to make
use OF womans name in a reckless and VII.
principled manner, shnn them, iOt they arc the
very worst members of the community men
lost TO every sense Of honor every feeling OF
humanity. Many good and worthy woman's
character has been t.reyer ruined, and her
heart broken by lie, manufactured by asome
william, and repeated where it should not have
been, and in the presence Of those whose little
judgment could not deter them from circulating
the foul and Dragging report A SANDER IL
soon propagated, and the smallest thing dero.
gatory to n womans character will fly on the
wings Of the wind, and magnify as it eirculates.
until Its u,onstrous weight brushes it's poor
unconscious victim. Respect the name Of wo.
man, for your Hoihers and sisters ure women
and as you would have their fair name untarn
shed and their lives uncmbittered by the Sian
dcr's biting tongue. heed the i'll that your owl
words may Lring the mother, the sister or the
wife. OF some fellow creature r. i8st ~
