Advice to Young Girls.

A lady of intelligence and observa-
.ion has remarked: 81 wish could inn
press upon the minds of the girls that
the chief end of woman is not to marry
young" If girls could only be brought
to believe that their chances for happy
marriage were better after twety-
five than before there would be
much less misery in the world
than there now is To be sure they
might not have so many opportunities
to marry as before, but as they do not
need to marry but one at a time it is
necessary that one should be satisfactory.
As girl grows older, if she thinks at
all. she certainly becomes more capable
of Judging what would make her happy
than when Younger. How many girls
of 20 would think of marrying the man
they would gladly have married at 10?
At 80 woman who is somewhat indie
pendent, and not over-anxious to marry,
full in her choice than one at 20 There
is good reason for this. Her mind is
improved with her years and she now
looks beyond mere appearances in
Judging men. She is apt to ask if this
man who is so very polite in company
is really kind-hearted. DO his polite
actions spring from happy, genial
nature, or is his attractive demcanor
put on for the occasion and laid off at
home as he lays off his coat? A very
young girl takes it for granted that men
are always as she sees them in society
polite, friendly, and on their good-be-
havior. Ii she ma rs early the man
who happens to please her fancy, she
learns to her sorrow that in nine cases
out of ten man in society and a man
at home are widely different beings Five
years at that period of life produce a
great change in opinions and feelings.
We frequently come to detest at % what
we admired at 16. We advance from
the taffy-candy and peanut age to the
era of gum-drops and marrons glaces,
and even in later years lose our yearn-
ings. - Scottish american Journal.

Human Muscles.

Did it ever occur to you," said o
| well-known local pianist, who spends
considerable time in thought, that
human muscles have memory of their
own, and that they perform their func.
tons without special orders from the
mind at times?'
''Well, yes. replied the writer, as he
sat down at the piano and unconscious
ly began exercising his muscles on the
keys. II don't suppose a Hungarian
working in de itch gives his arms
special orders how to manipulate a
] spade when he cuts out lump of terra
/ firma."
That's very primitive illustration, !"
resumed the other, at the same time
