SEDAL1A WEEKLY BAZOO, TUESDAY, JUNE Ii, 1892

occasions in this city at which society
ladies have INDUCED too far.
D! woman, this is your shame. Have
pronounced sentiments on this subject :;
let the young man know that if he drinks,
or is a gambler, or is untruthful or i'm.
pure, that you will not associate with him.
Better die than to marry a man who
drinks. III you would take this stand, the
question OF intemperance would soon be
settled. This work rests with you, young
ladies.
You have wonderful power to control
the purity OF the lives OF young men. Make
them to understand that no young man
CAN LEAD YOU TO THE ALTAR
whose life is not as pure as yours who
are libertines and drunkards.
How strange it is thet parents give their
pure daughters i'm marriage to young men
who live in open and shameless prostitu-
ton. 1t is sight to make an angel weep
There are such parents in Sedalia; there
are young ladies here who are giving
themselve to just such men.
COULD NAME THEM.
Do not make marriage the whole OF life
DO not be in too great hurry to get away
from the old home yon may not be loved
and petted elsewhere as there. Marriage
is not positively necessary to happiness
and usefulness MANY woman
has lived nObly and been blessing to the
world who never had q husband. But it
is right to marry. But If not a congenial
one, marriage is always misery and sorrow,
and for this reason / would warn you to
treat the subject of cOurtship and mar
riage with great seriousness. 1t is SOL
emn thing and on its proper solution de-
ponds happiness supreme or horrors of the
direst woe and trouble.
And be thoughtful OF others in this sub
iect. There is no more detestable charac-
ter i'm society than the noxious hatch
maker. III there are any here tonight in
that business, / advise You to get ont of it.
have been told the sad story of a poor, de-
formed girl in glove factory. in
ST. Louis, who was made to believe
that certain young man was i'm love with
her. He becaae a party To the joke, took
her out riding. visited her and told her OF
his love. Her heart expanded and
glowed with new life; her unhappy lot was
forgotten, while hone painted happy
future for her. One day she was told that
it was all joke, that the young man cared
nothing for her. The blow was an awful
one She dropped with sorrow, and heart
chrushed, took pOsiOn and laid down in
death. Those who had played the trick
on her
WERE HER MURDERERS'
Never trife with the affections OF a
young man. We have have heard much
Of the other side of this matter, and now
ii is time We were told of the evil OF firt
ing by young ladies. 1t is as mean q
thing as you can be capable
of doing. 1t is done here, be it
said to our shame. Ii always
leaves wound; it frequently causes dis
trust OF all women; it sometimes wrecks
the mind and breaks the heart.
You should not marry just because you
are in love. You might marry GRIM
inal
OR HIGAMIST LIKE
George d. Ellis, of whom yon have all
read, thanks to one brave paper in the city
Or you might marry libertine, or a
drunkard or tyrant. Marry because you
love, but marry a man,pure and noble.
Never wed one to whom you are not
attached, no matter If he is wealthy and
handsome, or if your parents want you
not even a minister. Rebel first, die first
Lofty, never marry a man In the
hope of reforming him. If he will
not reform before marriage, he will not
after. Ii you cannot induce him to give
up drinking or gambling or any other vice
he may have before you become his wife,
Won will find that when you are his, that
YOUR hopes of reforming him are built on
sand.
Oh, young ladies, be careful here. Make
no false step, make no rash promises.
Your future may be heaven on earth, or
it may be hell.
For you | wish all that earth can give
of sweet Joy and happiness. Some day
NAV the orange wreath encircle your brow
as YOU stand at the marriage altar by the
side of a man worthy OF your love and
trust. May many years of sweet COM
munion with him be granted you,
and when the day of separation comes, as
come il will, and
YOU LIE COLD AND SILENT,
enshrouded for the tomb, may he, bent
with the weight of years spent in the toll
of LIES battle, with locks of white, bend
over you and kiss your dumb lips and say
any darling, / have loved you on earth,
and by the grace OF God I'll love you and
walk with you through all eternity, amid
the glories and beauties of the everlasting
Paradise"
At the conclusion of the eloqent sermon
the choir very effectively sang, "Jesus,
my cross have taken" the congregation
listening in deepest sympathy. 1t was a
service not soon to be forgotten.
