LET THE GIRLS LEARN.
They Should Have a Trade as Well as tho
 Boys.

Let our girls become reallyn thorough h saleswomen, both wholesale and retail, even if it comes to travelling; let them practically learn printing, engraving, de- signing, light cabinet work, stenography, bookkeeping, watch making, goldsmith ing, dressmaking (at which the practical woman sometimes makes a fortune) any of the hundreds of things for which their nimble and delicate fingers, native wit and taste, quick perceptions and faithful perse- verance fit them-and let them learn it as . business thoroughly, honorably, with de- termination to be first-class work women, and soon they will share the pay as well as the work of men And our girl will be no less fitted to be a good, loving wife and mother, if she sees fit to marry; and she will not be driven into thoughtless mar riage to escape the drudgery of earning the pittance which will not support her, nor of making a criice, which is generally con- sidered to be even more disgraceful than that Think Of this, you who bemoan tns thousands of unhappy marriages and the frequency of divorce. And ii she is left, as many women are left, with children de- pending on her for support she is in no worse condition than the widower who is left with them to care for. Think of this, you who may be widows.
 Some men have objected to this idea, say ing that If women are seif-supporting they will not care to marry Surely if . man de- ponds upon his money alone to attract and keep her, the time has arrived when woman should compel him to make himself worthy of her love and possession.

Don't Keep One Rule for Business and
 Another for Private Life.
 Trickery or shuffiing, or underhand deal. ing of any kind, is form of lying, and therefore to be scrupulousy avoided. You will doubtless hear it said, with smile and a shrug that "the truth can not always be spoken in business matters" that every artifce is fair in love and war; and so forth; but these spacious phrases are only texts from the gospel of shoddy, and at heart men are ashamed of them even while they utter them They will try to salve their own consciences and scar yours by pooh-pooing strict integrity as Utopian, Quixotic, impractical Let them say what they please, but take your own straight course Remember that those who are most ready to defend craft and deoeit are not the men who are themselves to be i'm. picitly trusted Let your communication with others be of the most straightforward and truthful kind Do not keep one rule for business and another for private life If it seems to you dishonorable to tell or hint Q lie to friend or a relative, let 1t seem equally dishonorable to toll or hint a lie to client or q customer. Some years ago a near relative of yours and mine had large business transactions with a foreign merchant; this man asked our relative to send out certain packages of goods marked of less weight than the real weight, the object being to evade the payment of a heavy import duty. T can't do it, said our relative. "very we'll" sad the fof- eigner. If you won't there are plenty oi others who will, and shall take away my business from you" This meant heavy loss. A few years afterward the foreign merchant wrote to our relative to this effect: "lnclosed is a draft fer so much, which please put to my credit l am send ing my son to England to learn yQur way of business There is nobody in whom have such confidence as l have in you Will you take him into your office and make him the same sort of man that you arc your self?"- Our Young Folks Monthly.

Because we recognize the truth that feeling Ifs deeper than all thought" anc because the having of feelings" is an in- dication Of a sensitive, refined and higher nature. we are liable to believe that oul feelings arc to be our guide and master

 But fl one m,tst write and speak what ons feels simply because one teJls so, then one's feelings must be always right feel iugs; for no one ever mlst do any thing but the right thing. Must one scold because ho is cross and ill-temperedy Must one in dulge in backbitings in islanders, in insults, because he feels like itg if one feels like sulking. must he sulk? If one feels like stabbing with cold steel or with hot words, must he wound or kill? There are right feelings and there are wrong feelings; and 1t is because feeling is so deep, that it is so necessary to distinguish one from the other. It is only half the problem to ask whether you feel like saying this or doing that The other and more important halfis, ought you to feel so, or ought you not? $. s. IimeG

Facts and Figures Concerning Those De-
 rived from Occupations.
 An old writer quaintly says: Touching such as have their surnames of occupations, as Smith, Taylor, Turner and such others, it is not to be doubted but their ancestors have first gotten them by using such trades, and the children or such parents being contented to take them upon them, their after coming posterity could hardly avoid them, and 80 in time comethit rightly to be said:
 ." From whence came Smjh, all be he knight
 or squire, freY"
