sRT If there is one thing to be
deprecated and frowned down in a
community, it is certainly the loose
talk INDUCED in by many on the
street sides, about the ministers of
the church, whatever creed they
may profess. When a community

criticise and wildly talk of the
ministers of religion there is but
little hope, that a rising genera

BT Why when you see one Of
your fellows do any thing wrong
or that you may think wrong, why
do you not go to him personally
and tell him about it, instead of
blabbering on the highway. The
former course is certainly a more
sensible and more charitable view
to be taken Of the faults Of our
neighbors. This would be proof
undeniable Of sincerity in the work
of redemption. Be sincere.

The Girl to Find.

The true girl has to be sought
for. She does not parade herself
as show goods. She is not fash.
ionable. Generally she is not rich.
Bur oh what a heart she has
when you find her, so large and
pure, and womanly. When you
see it you wonder if those snowy
things outside were women.
If you gain her love, your two
thousand are millions. She'll not
ask you for carriage or a first.
class house. She'll wear simple
dresses, and turn them if necessary
with no vulgar magnifcate to
frown upon her economy. She'll
keep everything neat and nice in
your sky parlor, and give you
such a welcome when you come
home that you'll think your parlor
higher than ever.
She'll entertain true friends on
a dollar, and astonish you with the
new thought how little happiness
depends on money. She'll make
you love home, (if you don't you're
a brute) aud teach you how to
pity, while you scorn a poor, fash
ionable society that thinks itself
rich, and vainly tries to think it.
self happy. Now, do not, I pray
you, say any more, Il cannot af-
ford to marry" Go. find the true
woman, and you can. Throw
away that cigar, burn up that
switch cane, be sensible yourself,
and seek your wife in . sensible
way.
