Young miss of about fifteen summers,
to her schoolmate as she passed
along the streets of Gallipolis, on

how many young maidens have made

carry them into practice.
To live without working, seems to
be the whole aim of many persons,
whose circumstances in life do not
warrant any such evasion of the
curse imposed upon the first family

schemes to effect the much loved OBJ

work, are laying a sure foundation
for their future misery. In this
country, where fortunes are made
and lost in day, no one can claim
immunity from the | rivations of pow
erty. The lady of to day, who can
count her servants by scores, may
to- morrow, find herself in a situation
where ''none will be so poor as to dc
her reverence" and then Comes the
terrible struggle for lie, or the
means to obtain 1t. The accomplish
ments she acquired for parlor use,
are of little avail If encumbered
with a family, the situation is still
more embarrassing. Things, that
would seem as trifes to genuine
American woman, who had been
trained in the duties of domestic
economy and to rely on her own la
Dor. will seem insurmountable to the
pror creature. who was educated only
for lady and taught to consider
labor as disgraceful.
Reader have you not known just
such cases in the circle of your ac
quaintance? They can be seen every
day, and yet the young mibses of the
present day take up this same false
notion that labor is disgraceful, and
despite of the warnings surrounding
them on all sides, spend the precious
season ofyouth in striving for some
means of living on the labor of others.
We by no means wish to be un-
derstood as disappearing of the &C
quirement of all the accomplishments
of the day If you love music, ae-
quire 1t Ifyou enjoy the dance in
youth. time will cure you of the folly.
But with all these, acquire that kind
of knowledge which will fit you for
the active duties of life. Acquire the
knowl, dge of rendering your own
fireside the most att; active Place on
earth, to him who may select you as
his partner or life. Remember, that
after marriage, the question simply
resolves itself into one of Tread and
butter, or in other words, of the com
fort and happiaesS of the home cir
Gle, of which you must be the attrac
tive point, Be not so anxious about
gaining q husband who can keep you
without work as retaining the love
and affection of that husband, by
working for his interest. and contrib
uting to his domestic happiness by
your own labor. That is the true
policy, and will be sure to bring its
reward. Try it.
