1t Is in lie power Of young girls to make
themselves very dear and very useful to
their married friends, and to render them
such service as are beyond all price. In
time of Sickness and Of sorrow, the sympa-
thv and presence Of a beloved female friend
are among the best Of heavens gifs: while
she who ministers to the afflicted, is as
much blessed as blessing. Let 10 young
person stay away from Il friend who IS i'll
or in afiiiction, from the fear that her mex
perience will render her company undesir-
able: all who have strong affections, and a
ready power of sympathy, can make them
selves acceptable, and, in endeavOring to do
so, will increase their own happiness. New
er let mere convenience induce you to stay
at the houses of persons you cannot esteem;
by so doing you bring OH yourself an irk-
some obligation; you take on yourself the
duties of friend, without having the sem
timents that would make their discharge
easy.
