PENSIONS OF 18l2.-Congress has
passed, and it is now law of the land,
bill extending the provisions of the
law pensioning the soldiers of the war
of 1912, and their widows. The bill
repeats the 60 day limitation of service,
and pensions all persons who can prove
service of any duration, however short.
1t also liberalizes the provisions con-
corning widows by admitting such as
were married before the close of the
war. Another provision of the bill,
and perhaps the most meritorious one
it contains, is section restoring to the
pension rolls the names of such survi-
vors of the war of 1912, as was stricken
from them on account of participation
in the rebellion; and also putting upon
the rolls the widows OF such soldiers as
have died since they were deprived Of
their pensions.

MORAL TRAINING OF GIRLS.

Recent occurrences, aside from their
shocking details, present some import
ant lessons for the consideration of pa
rents, and give some potent warnings
which no lover of his child should fail
20 heed. The virtue of woman, the
purity of her life, are the basis OF our
social system, and every wreck OF virtue
and every foul suspicion that darkens
the name of woman, robs society oil
much of its power and lustre. lie that
has ne other aim for his daughter than
TO be the slave of tickle Fashion, Is
marking out for her . career worse man
futile and thrusting fatal dagger In
the bosom Of his own family. This Is a
delicate subject, and one upon which
the press is generally reticcnt, but how
can we discharge our responsibility to
the public apd to our conscience IN
keeping longer silent. There mast be
some change for society is totterlng, Its
purity is decaying, every attempt 10
represent its sacredness. is mockery-
Jealousy, envy, pickering SANDER are
the ruling demons; beauty, instead of
charming and inspiring, is pandering to
the base fashions and friyo!ities OF the
day; the finger that should direct man
kind to a higher and nobler sphere are
pointing towards the depths. Year
after year, yea, day after day, is society
recruiting the ranks of the lost aud we
are compelled to pause and think what
remedy can there be for this evil
Thank heaven there are thousands
who are worthy of the name of woman
whose lives are Gods blessing, and
reflect upon charity charm, and give
it sustaining strength, but there are
dark spots upon its escutcheon, and 1t
has been recklessly given privileges
which are victories for the insldlous de-
mon of lust, and Instead Of repelling'
invite immortality to its bosom,
To be more practical. women are as
sociating and con6ding in men whose
lecherous characters are only apparent
at midnight orgies or until some fatal
unwary step fells their victims. This
state Of affairs calls loudlT for reform;
Parents must teach their daughters to
regard virtue, in all sacred elements to
be all in all; they must be taught that
,hey are basis of society; they must be
taught to know who are the objects OF
their regard, friendly or otherwise, and
10 exact from men that in being friends
,h.y must likewise he gentlemen Then
will society be pprer, men nobler' the
name of woman more sacred.
