SEVERE on THE GIRLs.-An exchange
says The number of idle, useless girls in
all our large cities seems to be steadily in
creasing. They lounge or sleep in the morn
ings, parade The streets during the after
noon, and assemble in frivolous companies
of their own and other sex to pass away
the evenings. What store of unhappiness
for themselves and others are they laying up
for the coming time, when real duties and
high responsibilities shall be thoughtlessly
assumed They are skilled in no domestic
duties-nay, they despise them; have no
habits of industry nor taste for the useful.
What will they be as wives and mothers
Alas for the husbands and children, and alas
for themselves Who can wonder if domes-
tic unhappiness and domestic ruin follow.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1864-09-07

THE SELFIsH.-The worst of it is with
selfish persons, they never know they are
selfish. This is the most incurable systom
in their case-if they yield a little to others
they have no idea but that they cover the
whole ground They do not know how Of
ten they trample upon the rights and privi-
leges of those about them, because they new
er think of them; and not to think of 9th
ers, which is sometimes made an excuse by
the selfish, Is the very essence of all selfish
ness. They do not know they expose them
selves by the very refuge behind which they
attempt to hide Another Distinguishing
feature of selfish persons is, that they ac-
cept of the sacrifices of Others without know
ing that any have been made for them, so
completely are they absorbed by self. BY
these marks We may know them.
