The Way TO Spoil Girls.

]. Be always telling. from her earliest
childhood, what beautiful creature she
is. It is a capital way OF initiating the
vanity of a little girl, to be constantly
exclaiming: ''IIow pretty" Children
understand such flattery even when in
the nurse S arms, and the evil is done to
the character in its earliest formation.
2. Begin as soon as she can toddle, to
dress her out in fashionable clothes and
rich dresses. Put a hoop upon her at
once, with all the artificial adornments
OF founces and feathers, and flowers and
curls. Fondness for dress will thus be
come prominent characteristic, and we'll
usurp the whole attention of the young
mortal, and be long step toward spelling
her.
3. Let her visit so much, that she finds
no happiness at home, and therefore will
not be apt to stay there and learn home
duties. 1t Is capital thing for a spoiled
daughter to seek all her happiness in
visiting and change ofplace and associates.
She will thus grow as useless as modern
fashionable parents delight, that their
daughters should be-
4. Be careful that her education gives
her smattering of all the accomplish
ments, without the slightest knowle ge
of the things really useful in life. If her
mind and time are occupied in modern
accomplishments, there will be no though
of the necessity and virtue of being of
some real use to somebody prevailing her
heart, and she will soon be ready as a
spoiled daughter.
5. As consequence, keep her in pro-
found ignorance of all the useful arts Of
hOuSekeeDinp ImpraSSinp uDon hor mind
that it is vulgar to do anything for your
self. or to learn how anything is done in
the house. A 8. oiled daughter should
never be taught the mysteries Of the
kitchen; such things a lady always leaves
to the servants. 1t would be vulgar"
for her to know how to dress salad or
make pudding.
g. To complete the happiness of your
spoiled daughter, marry her to a bearded
youth with soft hands, no knows as little
how to earn money as she does how to
save it Her happiness viii then be fin
ished for her life time.

Advice to the Girls.

Do not estimate the worth of a young
man by his ability to talk soft nonsense,
nor by the length of his moustache
Do not imagine that an extra ribbon,
tied about the neck, can remedy the de-
feet of a soiled collar or an untidy dress
IF your hands are Drowned by labor, do
not envy the lily fingers of Miss Fuss and
Feathers, whose mother works in the
kitchen while the daughter lounges in
the parlor.
If dandy, with cigar between his
fingers, asks you if smoking is offensive
to you, tell him. emphaticaIly, Yes ;"
The habit should be, even though the
odor may not.
Do not waste your tears on the imagi-
nary sorrows of Alonzo and Melissa, nor
the trials of the dime novel heroines.
Seek rather to alleviate the woes Of the
suffering ones on earth.
If your dress is inconvcniently long,
and gentleman steps upon it. don't be
angry, but meekly beg his pardon, as you
ought. Always cherish Partially for
the smell of dishwater-it is more con-
ductive to health and far less expensive
than ''Boquet Of Eden"

the doomed culprit had been unlashed
and dismounted from his horse at the

unable to stand, owing to weakness and
the constrained and painful position in

his guards were obliged to carry him into
the precincts Of the prison. Here an
ample breakfast had been provided. of
which he ate heartily, and with evident
enjoyment. After full half hour it was
intimated to him that his presence was

The prisoner arms were then pinion-

screamed out, My friends - Immedi-
