WAS bachelor the Lord only knows
i don't, am sure for he Was one
of the most domestic men living, and
loved nothing better than coy
home tireside, with il friend or two to
help him enjoy it.

and was quite able to afford the -A
prnses of home. Though, for that
matter, many young man has found
it costs less to keep two than it does
to keep one, sometimes. lie "ns quite

nj choose.

he h~l such comfortable home with
his brother; for every day since

CHEAP GlRLs-Be quiet in your
Department, girls. Try and appear
ladyliNe under all circumstance. -
Perhaps you think it quite the cor
rect thing to talk loudly and Aorsely,
to be bojsterons in all public places !;
to make yourself 80 bold and forward
and commonplace everywhere that
people wonder if you ever had Il
mother, or home, or anything to do
So be it, You will probably Se taken
for what YOU are worth, and one Of
these years, if YOU DO not make worse
than shipwreck Of Yourself, You will
begin to wonder where the charms
are that you once thought yourself
possessed of, and what evil spirit
could have so fooled YOU. Go on, but
remember that cheap girls attract no.
body bat fools and rascaIs.

NEVER GET ANGRY.-It does no

has none. 1t Is really torment, and
when the stor:r uF passion has cleared
been /. fool, and has made himself Il
fool III the eyes Of others too. Ar an.
cry man adds nothing to the welfare
Of society. He may do some good
but more hurt. Heated passion makes
hlm fire brand, and it is Il wonle
that it does not kindle flames of dis
cord on every hand Without much
stnsiolty, and often bereft of reason,
he speaketh like the piercing Of a
sword, and his tongue is an arrow
SHOT out. lie is bad element in
any community, and his removal
would furnish occasion for a day Of
thanksgiving. Since, then, anger is
useless, needless, djSgracefnl, without
the least apology, and found only in
he bosom Of tools, &hy should it be
ludu!ged at all ?
