Girls Ought to be watched.

The Rev. J.J. White, Williamsburg,
N. Y, said Sunday evening in his SER
mon: Marriages should never be
thoughtlessly entered into, for good
marriages are the basis of our national
stability. Fancy nation of bachelors.
There would be anarchy. When you
see young men keeping away from mar
riage the nation is beginning to decay.
Now, what is bringing this about?
Want of parental restraint. Young
girls are allowed to run about unattend-
ed, are not watched at home or looked
after when outside of the home circle.
1t is Ia wonder that more girls are not
led astray. Mothers should be the con-
fidantes of their daughters in love af-
fairs. 1t amazes me when | find sense
less fOps and dudes encouraged in the
house by mothers who have marriage
able daughters. Yet when these girls
go off and marry these fops and dudes
a great sensation is made of it. The
cause of marriages are often trivial.
A beautiful mustache will win girls
hand for u fop. Young men who have
nothing to do should be stunned by
girls. One of the most damnable in
situations of the age is a Irritation. 1t
is the cause of most of the unhappy
marriages of the day. The flirt cannot
be wife in whom a man can put con-
fidence. God save. good men from
them! Another cause is the love OF
dress. Women's love Of dress deters
many from marrying. Young men
have given this as cause to me why
they have not married, and yet / know
men who are supported by their wives"
