for US to say that it was both elegant and
bountiful. The Elyria Band furnished
delightful aud inspiring music and our

The guests were conveyed to and from the

The Safety of Girls.

The question suggests itself whether
mothers generally think of the future of
their daughters as they should. Even in
good society mothers allow themselves to
become stupidity and criminally blind to
the snares that beset their daughters, and
careless over-sightieads to unfortunate con-
sequences. We hear and know of those
who have allowed their daughters to be-
come engaged to young men holding posi-
tions as clerks, collectors, ETC., on salaries
hardly sufficient to support themselves,
their compensation ranging from $40 to $1S
per week. Their first present to the dear
girl is a solitaire diamond engagement
ring. His father before him was satisfied
with plain gold ring to present to his
betrothed We know, in many instances,
mothers smile upon the extravaganza of
the young men by allowing their daugh-
tiers to accept every gift his egotism may
suggest Would nota judicious mother or
father inquire into a matter like this, see
ing their children recipients of diamonds,
magnificent articles of the toilet, fans of the
most costly nature, designs of choices flow
ers, when they are really only within reach
of. wealthy men: bon bons in profusion,
operas, theaters and carriages at their con-
troll, and every other extravaganza imagin-
ablef Would you not think that sensi-
BILE mothers sight would be sufficiently
clear to see and feel that all is not rightf
After young men clothe themselves in the
style of those who have thousands in their
pockets and pay their board and wash bill
each week, what is there left for the above
mentioned indulgencef The sharks and
vultures find easy victims among those
who smile and encourage their daughters
to associate with such. We are not so
much surprised at an overambitious moth
er countenancing such sharks, but why do
not fathers examine into the matterP In
quire of the house where the young man is
employed if his accounts are all right.
This evil is growing with alarming rapid
ity. Mulitudes of families will be awak-
ened too late to the discovery, We do not
say the young men on small salaries should
be excluded from society, but they should
be taken by the hand and reasoned with
to save some little each week of their
earnings. But the extrayagance of the
present day has become such an evil that
it has led many young men TO dishonesty.
Where you now find a young man engaged
on small compensation and indulging
in every extravaganza that only wealth can
secure, there is something essentially
wrong, and the discovery will come sooner
or later. Parents and employers who are
not on the watch will wake in vain-Letter

Mrs. A. s. Powers followed her husband

shock of bereavement would, in her feeble
state, be mortal blow.
Mrs. Powers age was but fifty-nine, and
the husband was seventy-two at his death,
the End of May. They came here from
Cleveland, where Mr.. Powers was in bust
ness thirty years, and where each had
lived forty years. Thirty years their
married life had continued, and being

provident as a husband and father, Mr..
Powers shielded his family from every
care that was possible to take upon him.

great sufferer and an invalid, whose
probabilities of life were of the frailest
type, his kindness and sympathy and low
ing care was such a prop to his afflicted
family as to make their loss at his death a
very sore bereavement. About three years
ago Mrs. Powers experienced aslight shock
of paralytic nature, and since has been
gradually failing in health, the last year
having been one of growing helplessness
and affiiction.
She could not be reconciled to the loss
of her husband and after two weeks of con-
slant greiving, was hopelessly ill, gradual
ly sinking until the evening of Saturday,
June 30th, she was released from suffering

conducted brief funeral services at the
house and accompanied the friends with
the remains to Erie Street Cemetery, Cleve-
land where, after the burial services. the
body was laid beside that of her husband.

A Girps Equipment for seltsupport.

No one will dispute the abstract asser-
ton that any given girl may some day have
herself and perhaps her family to support !;
and yet our schemes of education for girls
are framed precisely as If this were not and
could not be. As rule no provision what
ever is made for such a contingency in the
education of girls, no recognition whatever
is given to the fact that the chance exists.
We shut our eyes to the danger; we hope
that the i'll may never come, and we put
the thought of it away from US. In brief,
we trust TO luck, and that is most unwisa
Il was about to say an idiotic-thing to do.
Each one of us has known women to
whom this mischance has happened, and
each one of US knows that it may happen
to the daughter whom we tenderly cherish,
yet We put no arms in her hands with which
to fight this danger; we equip her for
every need except this sorest of all needs (;
we leave her at the mercy of chance, know
ing that the time may come when she
whom we have not taught to do any bread
winning work will have need of bread, and
will know no way in which to get it except
through dependence, beggary, or worse.
She can teachS Yes, if she can find some
politician to secure an appointment for her.
She can prick back poverty with the point
of her needlel Yes, at the rate of seventy
| five cents a week, or, if she is skillful
needle woman, at twice or thrice that pit
tance.
1t is not beyond comprehension that in
telligent and affectionate fathers, knowing
the dreadful possibilities that lie before
tdaughters whom they love with fondest in
diligence, should neglect to take the sim
plest precaution in their behalfs We are
a dull, blind, precedentloving set of ami
mails, we human beings. We neglect this
plain duty, at this terrible risk, simply be
cause such has been the custom. Some
few of US have made up our mintls to SET
this cruel custom at defiance, and to give
our girls the means of escape from this
danger. 1t is our creed that every educa
ton is fatally defective which does not in
clude definite skill in some art or handi
craft or knowledge with which bread and
shelter may be certainly won in case o.
need. Ifthenecessity for putting such skill
to use never arises, no harm is done, bu
good rather, even in that case, because tbs
consciousness of ability to do battle witt
poverty frees its possessor from apprehen
sion, and adds to that confident sense of Sc
curity without which contentment is i'm
possible. All men recognize this fact il
the case of boys; its recognition in the cas-
of girls is not one whit less necessary.

HUNTINGTON.

In Huntington July 1st, after religious
services at the little church on the corner,
the pastor and relatives of G. North gath
cred at his home to celebrate his eighty
second birth day. Just before dinner a
large easy chair, suggestive of comfort, was
brought into the room and the pastor, in q
few brief remarks, presented 1t to father
North in behalf of children, grandchild-
rem, great-grandchild, and sister-in-law.
Mother North was remembered with sill
yer knives and forks by the same, and one
witnessing the emotions of the aged couple
would say: How blessed to receive, while
those who gave were satisfied that it was
more blessed to give. Although Mr..
North had a severe chill in the morning,
he was able to sit in his chair and partake
of the bountiful dinner. Before the after
noon closed we had all gone our different
ways leaving behind US our best wishes.
