good kind look and word may DO, nor
how soonzwe may need and welcome It's
return. There are many things to
learn, but no one must expect to learn
them all ut once. There are many peo-
pie from whom we can expect valuable
instruction. The great teacher is ex-
perience. We may resiststhis truth for
while, but MUST yield at last Receive
instruction from all sources. The world
is full Of profitable lessons. Be courte-
Gus and polite under all circumstances.
How easy and how wise tits 10 be civil
in our daily lifel But to be successful
in our efforts in matters of coultosy
and ciNlity, We must confluence athomc,
with our brothers and sisters. Habits
thus formed are easily and pleasantly
worn when among strangers. Ii is bet
ter to have no conidents. Much harm
is done by speaking of little things in
confidence. When q thought or word
has left us. it can never be recalled.
That which ought not to be spoken in
private is for that reason made public
when spoken. 1t is better moi to be
oyer-much educated We shoqla learn
from observation. Study people and
events Not draw conclusions too quick
Ely, but observe and dwell upon that
which is goa,l.
In our religious life We should fully
live up to what we profess. Christiaai-
ty can oIiIy apl,oar IN our EVERYDAY
life, Truth and justice should be the
foundation of our faith, and olr life
each day SO guided that we may not
lave cause to repent Of unworthy and
sinful actions. 10 those who do right,
repentance is unnecessary. We should
not Judge the religious life of others
with severity we can not know what
motives govern them 1t is not our
right to pass judgment Be charitable
always 1t is one of the great dnties
of life. Deal gently with the reputi-
ton, and especially with the nnfor'nh-
ate, Of orr sex. There are none With
out faults, and those alone are best who
have less than others
Women have the reputation Of being
censorious Of each other. seeking TO
magnify rather than conceal defects of
character. 1t may be so. We should
guard against this injustice, ana help
to build up rather than destroy reputa-
tion. Destruction Of character is as
easy as ii is wicked.
Its g great advantage to keep quiet
gracefully and naturally. Self-control
IS the. best evidence Of a cultivated IN
rellect and clear conscience. 1t is a
great pleasure to meet those who wisely
listen and obseive-who review what is
said without prejudice, and, with or
without advice, commit no errors. Noth
ing is so difficult to do-nothing so
Itis not we'll TO devote too much
time to the subject Of dress. But the
ART of dress is an essential part of the
education of ladies. Perfect propriety
of dress on ali occasions is in itself an
evidence Of high cultivation and is a
capacity which very few people possess.
This requires that Just consideration
should be given to the circumstances
Conditions Of Others. This is.the
lie OF propriety ladg should

The world is full of good things, if
we seek for end FEC ave them. When
we meet that which disturbs us. We
should help to change it, or learn to en-
dure it. 4 good and pure woman can
do much to make the world better. We
have been told that whateyeris. is right.
The life Of every person offers mach III
confirmation of this opinion. But we
must still aim TO do right, and strive to
know what is right. The chief defect
of most people is, they do not know
what Is right. But q lady who has IN
tcgritv aid sense of Justice TO guide
her can never fail to discern that which
gives pleasure from that which inllicts
pain, or that which improves and
strengthens from that which Injuries or
DESTROYS those around her. Every young
lady that enters upon the great theatre
of life should seek to know tie rule of
right. There is justice in all things,
and neither ,eauty. happiness, nor pow
can exist without it, hlte at best is
imperfect. She must not expect Or de
mand too mach. 1t Is better TO be a
SPECTATOR than an actor, until We con-
prehend the necessities that govern the
world. With the best efforts Of which
the human mind is capable, bitter dis
appointments can not always be avoid
ed. But the consciousness OF a desire
to act Justly is the best support we can
have IN adversely. The aim of her life
should be to impart'to others. by her
bright example, the knowledge which
she has gained by instruction, observa-
ton, and experience--Ledser.
