woman will be gully Of engaging iu's
demorulizing a habit. 1t destroys conii-
dence between The sexes, weakens the
moral sensibiIities, and renders one
wholly Unfit to assume the duties and
Responsibilities OF married lie. When q
Young lady has used every means In her
bower to win the admiration OF gentle
man, and encouraged him in every possi-
tle way to offer all man can offer-all
he has-just for the pleasure OF refusing
him, sne has committed great

An old fashioned woman, writing in
the Watchman and Reflector, speaks
thus of some Of our young seminary
girls: 81 have found in the classroom
that the girls with the most on the out
side of their heads have the least inside.
Last summer heard fashionable young
lady read her graduating essay, earnest
ly demanding "a wider sphere for wo-
men, while her chest was so narrowed
by artificial means that she could hardly
read her essay. She evidently thought
this world ''pent-up Uticao that was
conhning her powers; but all the poor
girl needed was sufficient strength and
Independence of character to tree ber-
self from the thraldom OF fashion, and 10
go to work in an earnest way 10 bring
nearer to Christ the world she found SO
sadly out of order. Some of you my dear
girls, may be tilled with 'intinite long,
ings for a career Let me tell you that
what our sex most need at present Is
women who, unembarrassed by fashion,
able drapery, can walk aiew miles with
| out being tired--women whose thinking
powers are uninjured, who fad 'ca-
reer' in earnestly doing ,their Masters
/ work, however homely."
