to have learned TO regulate your appe-
tite and passions; in fact, the image Oi

| you are strong i'm good purpose, firm in
i resistance of evil, pure in thought aud
action as you require her TO be, and with
out which inward purity neither Of you
are fit to be husband and wife; II yot
love virtue and abhOr vice, II you are
gentlemanly, forbearing and kind, ant
not loud-talking, eXacting and brutal
young man that woman wants you

PIRTMENT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS

" AAH
The card of "Many Citizens" published In
your paper this morning, must have been
written hastily and without reflection. The
course chosen by the committee of arrange
ments is the best which could have been sug-
gested.- The aim Of the tournament is a test
OF the efficiency of our Fire Department.
The tidal drains which cost our city Thousands
of dollars are properly as much a portion OF
the apparatus of the department as the hose OF
each engine may be considered a portion Of
the apparatus OF the company to which 1t be-
longs, and, unless they are used, the source OF
supply OF water In the most valuable OF our
business localities being cut of, the test be-
comes incomplete and valueless.
Again, Meeting street presents anything
but an ever surface, because OF the very
Street Railway against whose obstruction
'Many Citizens so loudly e8claim, and, when
the height of the bill just at Market street Is
taken In connection with this fact, the course
Is about as fair an average Of our roadways as
could we'll be found. Pro Bono PUBL1oo.
