Innocency. 1t is strange that sue
men can come before a sex whor
they have foully wronged, and be a
gallant as though their hands wer
not stained by blood, as truly a
though they had put daggers into tn
hearts of dozen girls. The tim
will come when those who bring dis
grace upon families, and life-lon:
misery upon their victims, or earl,
deaths by attempted abortions, will
be looked upon by the law as mur
lderers, and punished accordingly
While there is no sight so beautiful
in this world as q young mother ca
ressing a lovely child, for whom .
fond father labors every day, ant
goes home at night to clasp them botI
to his heart and protect them th-o
their sleep, so there is nothing 81
pitiable as young mother struggling
day after day with her weak, tiret
hands to support her baby, feeding
her own strength to it, loathed BY
women, jeered at by men; no father
to love it or her, her prospects of .
happy home and a kind husband all
gone forever, just to give season o
pleasure to the wretch who spends
his money freely upon fashionable
young ladies, and perhaps at last
after having ruined himself mentally
and physically, as we'll as morally
marries a goodwoman who bears hel
curse, patiently for life. There are
noCwords strong enough to expires;
the disgust all feel for a man who,
faithless to his marriage VOWS, come:
home to his pure wife and innocenf
children, and receives a love he has
no longer a right to claim or they 6
right to give Woman never marry

than good men marry bad women
and when it comes after marriage,
they bear with il Usually till death

What kind of men, then, is attract.
i've to women? ..-.-.-
The answer can be given in few
words. God has so made the sexes
that women, like children, cling to
men; lean upon them for protection
and care, and love; look up to them
as though they were superior in mind
and body. They make them the suns
Of their system, and they and their
children revolve around them. Men
are their gods, if they but know it,
and women burning incense at their
shrines. Women, therefore, vino
have good minds and pure hearts,
want men to lean upon. Think OF
their reverencing a drunkard, liar,
q fool, or a libertine.
If a man would have a woman do
him homage he must be manly in ev-
cry sense; true gentleman, not af-
ter the Chesterfield school, but polite
because his heart is full of kindnes 8
to all; one who treats her with re-
spect, even Difference, because she is
woman, who s,o~>--oor, eloseaas3s to
say silly things to her; who brings
her up to mis- level if his mind is
above hers; who is never over anx-
ious to please her. but ALWAYS anvi"I9
to-ao right; who has no time to be
frivolous with her; always dignified
in speech and act; who never spends
too much money upon upon her ;
never yields to temptation, even if
she puts it in his way; who is ambi-
tious to make his mark in the world
whether she encourages him or
not; who is never familiar with her
to the extent of being an adopted
brother or cousin who is not over
careful about dress always pleasant
and considerate, but always keeping
his place as the man, the head, and
never losing it.
Such department, with noble prin-
ciples, good mind, energy and in
dustry, will win any woman in the
land who is worth the winning.
