SOMETHING TO DO, AS A PREVENTATIVE
AGAINST FALLING IN Love Too YOU'VE.
If you don't want your son to fall in
love with q pretty face before the beard
grows IN his own, give. him something
to do. Let his mind be occupied. EN-
Payment is the best safeguard, as well
as the best remedy. for that intermittent
fever enormously called Love.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" or to change the figure,
it Ne very easy'o run a locomotive when
everything is in running order, but after
a collision it is quite another thing.
Take my advice. Put your boy on the
right track, and keep it clear. Ten chan.

know they u come, sooner or later
but later is better. Give him something
to do.
As for your daughter, as soon as she
leaves school her books are thrown aside.
and she is expected ct once to identify
herself with HOUSEHOLD interests, or to be:
come a young lady of fashion, according
to circumstances. Better the first than
the last, both are wrong: Give her some
thing to do. True, her little brother and
sister, if she is SC blest. may demand her
love and labor! or, she may assist her
"nother in household matters ; or, assume
the care of her own wardrobe-aa of
which is very well, 50 far as itgoes. But
it is not the thing.
She misses the daily routine of school
life, with its exercise, and. occupation.
and discipline Of mind. Undoubtedly, she
fancies that the change is delightful; but
she is restless and uneasy. Her life is
full of want her heart full Of lvnging.
'i Before you are aware, she falls despe-
rately in love with some mustached bow
possibly d harmless, probably a worth

like herself, had nothing to do.

chief be already done, use the pound If
