The reason is perfectly clear to every
one who comes to twenty-five years Of
age outside reform institution. A man
OF 'tsoc'ety, who dealt in occasional rough

ously to see ladies forget their hands In
a mans clasp, while they are talking SO
earnestly; there is great deal of expires
sion in the nearne,s Of two convcr-a-
often, which tells little more
than people are aware of. 1t Is all right
and innocent of cOurse-but If people
are properly indifferent t. each others
hands, why not observe conuenances,
aud drop them when the cotdial salute
is performed?
You never see Rev. Mr.. Surplice hold

Rocket, the curatc with the melan-
ch"ly. large black eyes, and you never
see craze legal gentlemen crushing the
tlounces Of equally grave and interesting
~pnsters. There IL a fine, distinct line,
between the cordial commerce of good
will aud heaven warm affection, that
bi"ds the human family together, and
thoS" leadings of attraction, that with
na,ne!e>s license destroy the bloom Of
refinement
There is one vile that settles a thou
sand queries Of the nature We are con-
sidering. Whatever is secret may be
safely left untouched. The touch, the
look, the intimacy. the correspondence
that needs be secre;-has something
wrong about 1t. If you are sure there il
no evil In your motives, for heavens
sake come out and avow your friend

You make the world purer and set
precedent by your frankness that tears
away thousand hypocrisies. The
world has a keen scent for the really in
nocent, and If you cannot face its first
sneers of criticism, you have reason to
doubt yourself.
