SOUND ADVICE TO YOUNG La
DIES.

Learn your obligations to the past,
be careful Of the present, and pre-
pare yourself for the great future
that is before you. The reign of
brain has come. Though you may
not be found on the battle field
or at the ballot box, you can build
up the future by building up the
men. You live in particularly ex~
citing time. When you have placed
in opposition to you great rices, con-
quer them all those of your sex
who are real, true women will COM
bine. Beware Of coxcombs and lib
crimes; they are fools whether they
know it or not. By your condnct
towards them, send them from your
presence. Reserve your hearts and
love for true men. Be not what is
known as a fashionable woman.
There isnothing SO foolish as such a
woman, and none but fools admire
her. K. I. II.
