Good Advice to the Girls.

upon as a habit of "improper char
acters," and if you do not wish to be
mistaken as one, don't allow your
self to initiate their actions on the

Make the Best of II.

1t is scarcely necessary to remind
reasonable men that if they wish to
be sad or sour, to grumble and
complain, there is always chance.
Reasons for being cast down and
detected are as plenty as black Der.
ries in the height of the blackberry
harvest. If one thing goes right,
you may be sure there is always
something else going wrong, and if
one thing is in order something else
is out of joint, or, ut any rate, soon
will be. The chief difference in
the feelings and dispositions of PEG.
pie results from the different way
Of looking at things. Few nights
are so dark that no stars are to DO
seen; the thing is to look them out
and keep yOur eyes on them, and
make the most Of what light you
can discover.
