LEAP lEAR.-Many Of our young lady readers,
we supyosc, are not aware Of the privileges they
have during this leap year. Young ladies, those
especially who have been carrying tho "hand.
kerchier 1rtations" for some time, may take ad.
vantage of this, tho only chance they will have for
four years to come, (somc Of you may be old maids
by that tiine,) and if the young gentlemen will not
ask you to 60 to sleighng parties, skating pic
mics, you may ask them, of course making them
fork over the currency" We will not take the
responsibility Of advising you to 60 further than
asking them to pic-nics, &c. in this you will have
to your own discretion, but there are, no doubt
many bashtul young men who would be glad of the
chance Of avoiding that painful duty, popping the
question" Girls, you must put the next twelve
months to good use don't waste time

nine and return at twelve thence again at one, and

complete their task whereas, if there but one
session, they would have abundant time for both
study and physical exercise, which is much
needed. "
