the same time. There is some apprecia-
ton of truth and right in the world. but
very little brave standing up and doing
better for it. Colonel Clarke, Professor
OF Amherst College, Massachusetts,,
whose name was SO honorably known in
the war, did a noble thing at large
dinner party given by Edward Everett
Being offered wine from that gentleman's
own had, he refused it to the surprise
and apparent indignation of all present

only adhering to the right To such an
act, by whomsoever performed, all wo-

Women dislike men who match pen-
MES, play humble peg and marbles (all
three may be classed under the same
head) as much as men dislike women
who play with rag dolls
Women have the most thorough con-
tempt for man, who, on any occasion
that offers, tries either to caress her or
slide his arm about her waist, or kiss her
after he has waited on her home. Such
man would steal her virtue if he dared,
and, in majority of cases, goes where
those things are purchased rather than
stolen. | would as quickly brand as a
villain young man who took such a
liberty with a sister of mine, as one who
had openly in>ulted her Indeed. this is
an open insult, and when a lady, through
fear OF losing his friendship, or from af-
lection for him, receives it, she inwarcllv
ceases to respect him, saying, with truth,
''lt he caresses Inc unlawfully, he does SO
to all others whom he can" If wo-
man does allow it, she must be verIant.
or she is not to be trusted; but men have
learned this, and never marry a girl they
can tondle before she is their own.
Women dislike a man who pays COM
pllments. There is a young professional
christian man, not thousand miles from
Cleveland, who, thongh having a lovely
wife, calls upon unmarried ladies, talks
to them about their bright eyes, winning
ways, etc, thus making people believe
that he is either fool or hypocritc.
Married people cannot lbe too careful.
Ii 4 married man wants to he thought
'pertectly splendid' by all the young
ladies of the town, let hlm be thoroughly
devoted to his wife. Let them see him
put a shawl about her shoulders, 4 scarf
about her throat. bring chair for her
when she is standing. take care lest she
over-eXerts herself let him make her
and all others about her feel that to him
she Is the one woman of the world, and

Women M,te, and the word is very

unsuspcctlng girls to ruin, or one who

the virtue of the sex should nevc: be al

of pure woman. Such men are recciy-

they. like their brothers, like to see how
near they can come to the preciplce and
not be dashed into pieces, but the major
ity receive such men into their company
ignorantly. They hold asps in theil
hands without knowing it. and are pois.
