It consists of a.rotsting apparatus,
which moves a disk whose centre is a
circle, one half black and the other

SLuRs on WOMEN of all the
evils prevalent among young men, We
know OF none more .blighting III its
moral effects than to speak slight.ngly
Of the virtue of women. Nor is there
anything in which young men are so
thoroughly mistaken as the low estl-
mate they form of the integrity Of wo-
men not of their own mothers and
sisters, but Of others, who, they for
get, are somebody else's mothers and
sisters As rutc, no person who ir-
renders to this deba,ing habit IS to be
trusted with any enterprise roi;(irin5
INTEGRITY of character. Plain woris
should be spoken on this point, loT the
evil is a general one, and deep rooted.
If young men ere sometimes thrown
into the society cf thouGntless or lewi
women, they have no right to measure
all other women by what they see of
these. than they would have to estimate
the character Of honest and respecta-
bic citizens by the developments of
crime in our police courts. Let our
young men remember that their chief
happiness Of life depends upon theiE
utter faith in women. No worldly wis
dom, no misanthropie philosophy, oI
generalization, can cover or weaken
this fundamental truth. 1t stands
like the record of God itself-for it is
nothing less than this--anI should put
an everlasting seal upon lips that are
won't to speak slightly of women.
