How often do we hear young men
q''..r i''s did expression, '-All is fair
d. nj war" WHIST do they
'srsn l.. it? Dear girls, do you
know taat a particular young man
that tells You that he loves YOU. o..
so fondly; thatlif would be dreary
waste without you; that he thinks
of you constantly and longs to be
with you always, &C.; that this
young man has adopted the above
quoted passage? And he tells YOU
all that silly verbiage in order to
gain your affections, and after he
plays with your heart and affections
until he tires of them, he will leave
YOU and seek other victims. Some
will say Uncle Jack is an old bach
elor; he failed to win sweetheart
when he was young. and has become
soured and suspicious. Others will
say Uncle Jack is right in regard to
some young men, but there are GER
tainly quite a number of nice young
men who would not practice deceit.
Yes, girls, there are some nice
young men vet, and | write this to
tell YOU how to distinguish pure gold
from counterfeit: Nice young men
will always treat You politely and
will never overstep the bounds of
etiquette in your presence But
those Young men who are constantly
breaking the rules of etiquette and
who are taking more liberty each
visit, are either young men practic-
ing deceit and care nothing for You
but to gain your affections and then
boast about the mash they have
made to their companions, or per
haps he belongs to another class of
young men equally as bad. This
class of young men-and they are
numerous-hold to the doctrine that
no girl should be considered yirtu-
Gus until she passes through fiery
ordeal of temptations and insults,
and if she passes through the same
and comes ont spotless, then they
pass judgment that she is virtuous
and is fit to be mated to one of these
selfish creatures. They claim that
they have the right to offer as many
insults as they desire in order to
test the virtue of n woman. They
never think of their own delinquen-
cies and immoralities, but the girl
they would copdescend to marry
must he as .pure as an angel from
heaven. They contend land there
is some truth in it) that if n girl
will make practice Of kissing young
men and will permit young men to
embrace them and kiss them at their
pleasure, they will follow the same
4 practice after marriage. Now, girls,
to be on the safe side live up strictly
to the rules of etiquette, and never
allow young man to transgress
those rules in your presence If he
persists in doing so, dismiss him at
once. Some of the girls may not
understand what mean by the rules
of etiquette, therefore | will give a
few hints: In towns the rule is for
Young men to leave at 10 o'clock,
but in the country for certain rea
sons the time is prolonged to half
past 10 or II. Some young men
want to stay until two or three in
the morning. A young man if he
respects girl will not remain after
! / o'clock. | understand that there
time. back woods method Of revers-
ing chairs and laying in each other s
arms, Girls, remember that a young
man does not take this liberty be-
esHse hc loves ynn. but it is one of
Tie crucial tests 10 try your virtue.
| have heard Young men saY-and
remember, girls. | am still mixing
with Young men and they often tell
ne their secrets-.I have Rugged
aud kissed certain girl for hours,
but ! would not marry her if she was
us rich as Vanderbilt, for if she will
let me embrace and kiss her she will
grant the same privilege to others "
have head of young men eXtin-
gushing the light when in company
with their girl" A girl should at
once shnw the young nan the door

When y Young man escorts la,'y

her ear 90 home AT once. He shanld
not keep the Young lady standing
outside
In conclusion, dear girls, offer
this advice: When you are enter
tanning young man never do any
thing Yourself or permit the young
man to do anything in your presence
that would cause the blush of shame
to nantel your cheek if your parents
saw it. II you will follow this adj
vice you will never regret it. and the
day will come when you will thank
