And so new family would be organized
that institution ordained of heaven. The
unit Of all organized society.
And here am reminded of that old New
England minister who suddenly caught the
idea one bright Monday morning, that he
ought to marry a certain woman in his con-
gregation. So saddling his horse he rode
over 10 her house and alighting he went in
ana found her that bright Monday morning
over the wash.tub. Quoth he: "Betsey il

| she: The Lords will be done"
And 80 twas done, A new family was
organized.
Now it is the Lords will that every
Young man should be industrious.
frugal and virtuous. 1t is, undoubtedly,
the Lord will that all or nearly all indus
trious, frugal and virtuous young men
should marry.
Now II all young men were such, and all
married, as the sexes are nearly equal in
numbers, 1t would come about that circum.
stances would seldom make it necessary for
woman to enter the struggle for existence
IN competition with man.
SO ladies you will perceive that these un-
fortunate circumstances, which we all so
much deplore, are brought about by the
Incidence, proIigaIty and vice OF many of
our young men,
An eminent Frenchmen, De Locqueville

early days, called upon the mother OF
George Washington, and asked her ques-

much time TO answer.
lie asked: How did you train your
son TO make him such man"
She answered. II taught him the laws
Of obedience"
This was the secret. "Thc law of ODE

ence to school teachers; to all in authority.
Selt-rest,aint, this was what made Wash.
ingtOn what he was-ft to command. This
is what made Washington what he was.
This is what our own young men need.
| am sorry to say that thousands OF
young men in our land are lazy. ThouS-
anis are Spendthritts. Thousands are at.

comes for them to marry they are not pre-
pared for it.
Virtuous young ladies Will avoid item.
No virtuous young lady should, tor q mo-
ment, think Of yoking herself uncqually to
sucl man,
She will prefer rather to paddle her own
canoe" And all right.thinking people
will applaud hel course, will bid her God
speed
Al right.thinking people ought to aid
and encourage her in fighting life's battles
Every avenue which she can properly enter
ought to be opened to her as widely as
possible.
She is wonderfully fitted to be a a teach
er The schools should largely be given
her.
Why should she not be a physician?
Why not a merchant; a clerk book
keeper and shall say farmer,
In pure se.f.defensc. 70 save her self.rc.
spect she should fit herself to earn IN hon

She should do this 10 save her honor.
She should do this to save the necessity of
an lll-advised marriage.

Why not! | know Of no good reason. We
say of man, "he will command in the

II he is worth one hundred dollars per

And why should not woman command !
