An ITEM EVERY MAN SHOULD RKkD.-We
have probably all Of US met with instances
In which q word heedlessly spoken against
the reputation OF afemale has been mai hi
fed BY malicious minds until the. cloud has
become dark enough to overshadow her
whole existence. To those who are accus-
tomed-not necessarily from bad motives,
but from thoughtlessness-to speak lightly
Of females, We recommend these hints as
worthy of consideration:
Never use lady's name In an improper
place, or at an improper time, or In mixed
company.
Never make any assertion about her which
you know to be untrue, or allusion that yon
know she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not
scruple to make use OF a woman's name In
reckless and unprincipled manner, shun
them, for they are the very worst members
of o community; men lost to every sense Of
honor, every feeling of humanity.
Many good and worthy woman's charac-
ter has been forever ruined and her hear.

lain, and repeated where it should not have
been, and In the presence Of those whose
little Judgment could not deter them from
circulating the foul and blasting report
A SANDER is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to the character Of
woman viii fly on the wings of the wind,
and magnify as it circulates, until its mon
strous weight crushes the poor unfortunate
victim. Respect the name Of woman, for
your mother and sisters are women; and as
you would have their names untarnished,
and their lives unembittered by the SANDER
ers biting tongue, heed the iii that your own
tongue may bring upon the mother, the sis
ter or the wife Of some fellow creature.

THE VALUE OF TIME.-When the Roman
Emperor said, 81 have lost day." he ut
tered sadder truth than If he had exclaim-
ed AZ have lost kingdom" Napoleon
said that the reason why he beat the Aus
trians was that they did not know the value
of five minutes. AT the celebrated battle of
Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the point of
being decided against him. he saw the
critical state of affairs and instantly took his
resolution. He despatched flag to the Aus
train headquarters with proposals for and
armistice The unwary Austrians fell into
the snare; for few minutes the thunders of
battle were hushed. Napoleon seized the
precious moments, and while amusing the
enemy with mock negotiations, re-arranged
his line of battle, changed his front, and in
few minutes was ready to renounce the
farce of discussion for the stern arbitrament
of arms. The splendid victory Of Rivoli
was the result The great moral victories
and defeats of the world often turn on five
minutes. Men loiter, time flies, and all the
great interests of life are speeding on with
the sure and silent tread Of destiny.
