GIRLS PLEASE READ.

The Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph
contained in it's last issue an article of
good advice to the young ladies, and we
hereto append it for the benefit of our
young lady readers. There is millions
in it,"
Girls stand up. I want to talk to you.
I want to talk to you like an uncle from
foreign cline, seriously, sensibly, earn
estly, and all in your interest. Get
married, of course, sometime, if you
find good man who loves you and
whom you love; and when [ say good
man | do not mean a man who devOtes
all of his time to singing psalms and
reading religious tracts, but an honest,
manly, self-supporting, self-respecting
man, one who is worthy of your love
and respect, and who will make you
good home and happy. is there any
thing wrong in this? I hear you say
"no, that is good doctrine" But am
not through l want to say more, and
I want to talk with great plainness-
Lots of you, whole townships of you,
think that with your love, your infu-
ence, your kindness, you can reform
men who have gone wrong, after you
marry them. Let me speak on this
subject, two words, and let them sink
deep into your hearts-you cannot. A
million women have wrecked their
lives in that belief. Don't be too ready
to accept anyone. Know something
about the young man who asks for your
hand and heart; not only something,
but, if possible, all about him. Know
all about his habits. If he CANDLES say
no, and wait. If he appears in your
presence with the taint Of intoxication
about him, or you learn that he Is
addicted to the drink habit, and his
temperament is snch that renders 1t
almost certain that he will always be
addicted to it, say no, and wait. If he
is crooked in his dealings with his
fellow men, say no, and wait. If he is
jealous, suspicious, and fault finding,
generally, say no, and wait You can
afford million times better to do that
than you can afford to say yes in any Of
these instances. Do not be afraid to
question his employer as to his charac-
ter. If he had ever been caught in the
act of pifering, drop him, and wait.
You don't want him. Sooner or later
he will commit theta cTime-that
will take him to prison and your poor
heart will be broken. Keep clear of
that kind of a man. Girls, don't
marry something the tailor and the
halter have constructed. Marry man,
and do not consider everything that
wears mems clothes man, for if you
do you will find that you have made a
sad mistake. I am not going to tell you
what kind of a wife to make after you
are married. Let some one else do
that. All l want to do is to impress
upon your mind that it is d million
times better for you to wither, dry up
and blow away as an old maid than to
marry men who are not worthy of you
who will not make good homes for yor;
who will not make you happy and take
good care of you; men who Will break
your hearts by committing crimes that
may send them to states prison. That
is all; go, think, be cautious.

The girl that works is an honor to her
sex. She is brave and active. She is
not too proud to earn her own living or
ashamed to be caught at her daily task.
She is studious and painstaking and pa
tient She smiles from behind the
counter or desk. Her smile is the re-
Election of celestial grandeur and eter-
nal bliss. There is a memory of her
own grown into each silken gown. She
is a beautiful mountaineer-her charac-
ter is pure as the bubbling spring, strong
as the rugged rock from which it flows,
and as high as the topmost pinnacle.
The sight of her should be a fine in
spiration for US all. 1t is an honor to
know this girl-to be worthy of her re-
gard. Her hand may be stained BY
dishwashing, sweeping, factory grease
or printers ink, but it is an honest
hand and helping hand, and stays
misfortune fom many a home; it is one
shield that protects many forlorn fam
lily from the almshouse and asylum. All
honor to the girl that works.-Midland
