When corruption has gone thrsugh the
whole mass and sll classes are bad alike
everything comes 10 IN end, and there Il
central overthrow of nssioaal life; bat

We arc net quite undons. and we Eay res

In the midst Of the reign Of the gisl Of the
period, win her slsng and t0ldses-
the fashionable womsh, wit4 her denial Of
duty and her madness for pleasure I've
come every now and then upon group
of good girls ofthe real old Enghsh type,
The faithful few growing up silently among
us, bit none the less valuable because they
are silent and make no difplsy-doves
who are content with life - they have It
in the dovscot. and have 10 desire to be
either eagles dwelling on romantic nights,
or peaeocks displaying sssir pride 10 sun
ny courts We find thcse faithful few in
town and country alike; but tbsy sre rifest
In the country, where shsss b less temp
tation TO DO wrong thm there 10 In the
large towns, and wIssse life 70 more simple
anu the moral tone undsniably higher
The leading feature Of thess girl, Is their
love Of homs and Of their 0wn family, and
the power of making occupation and hap
piness out Of appasently meagre material.
II they ere the elder, they find amusement
and more in their little brothers and sis>
ters, whom they consiieS immensely fun
ny, and to whom they are as much girl
mothers as sisters. If they are the young>
ers. they idolize their baby nephews and
nieces. For there is always q baby 20.
ing on some where about these house,
babies being the great excitement Of home
life, and the antisepnc element which keeps
everything else pure. They are passion
ately attached to papa and mamma, whom
they think the very king and queen OF hu-
manity, Ind whom they do not call by
even endsaripg slang names. II has new
er occurred tothem TO criticize them a.
ortllnsry mortals; and a. they have not
been in the way of learning the prevailing
accent of disrespect, they have not shaken
off that almost religious vcEeration for
their parents which all young people feel
naturally, il they have been well brought
up and not corrupted. The yoke in most
middle class country houses, Is one fitting
very loosely around oil necks; and there
being no power Of using greater freedom,
even II they had IL, the girls are not fret>
ed BY It's pressure, and are content 10 live
under il In peace. They adore their elder
brothers who are from home Just begin>
ming the battle Of life fur .thcmselvos and
confidently believe them 70 be the finest
fellows gnicg, and the futIfe great men Of
the day lr they care to put out those fine
talents OF theirs, and take the trouble OF
plucking the prizes within their reach,
may have slight re: ervation. perhaps, In
favor or lheif brothers' friend, whom they
place on pedestal of almost equal hight.
But they keep their mental Architecture a
profound secret from every ono, and do
not suffer themselves to let It srow into
tb5 solid . structure tnlrss It has some
stirer foundation than their own fancy
For, though doves are Toying, hey are by
no means love- -sick damsels; they arc too
healthv and natural and qoietly busy for
unwholesome dream, II one Of them mar
ries, they all units Ii loving tho man WHO
comes In amongss them. He Is adopted
AZ one Of themselves, and he leaps into
family Of idolizing sisters who Pet him rs
brother with just that subtle little diff.
srence that comes ffom sistsfs hhnccus,
toned, and cd has the charm Of novelty
ii not the excitement oi Haushiyness.--
