Famiiiarfties of Young Girls.
There is very little left to call The
people you love If you lavish words o.
affection on every stranger whom yor
meet. If you call a young woman
whom you have known just half al
houI Dear and one whom you have
known three days Darling" there
will be no tender ~endearing term fol
you to address to those who have YOU
whole heart. Girls who are not o.
necessity gushing are often apt tt
speak in the most familiar manner.
Good speech is certainly pure silver,
but there are so many times when
silence would outweigh it and be per-
feet gold. To tell OF ones family
affairs, to tell of ones joys and wor
ries to some one who has q sympa'
thetic and seems to invite it,
is at once a weakness and a misfor
tune. To write a letter in which you
us endearing terms, in which you
discuss personal matters, is more thar
indiscreet-it is dangerous.
Don't you think IL you are a BIT
familiar in speech or with the pen to
a man that he is going to o than
meet this half way? Don't you think
if you call him by his first naine he is
very apt to call you by yours, and per
haps before people whom you do not
care to have think lightly OF you? Ii
you permit him to speak of things
not usually discussed do not imagine
for n moment he is going to regard
the conversation as confidential. He
will always tell it to somebody. and
YOU can then imagine how much
further down in the esteem of two
people you have gone. Don't permit
any man to be familiar with you tC
the extent of calling you ''Old girl
or citing you as zone of the boys
You don't belong among the boys. and
you shouldn't be counted there. Don't
let n a unless you are betrothed
to him, kiss you. Lips are of little
worth to John which have been

She Had the Laugh After.
A wedding was once stopped in the
following curious manner. The peo-
pie were well-to-do farmers. The day
was fixed, breakfast prepared, car-
riages waiting at the door. All things
were ready. The bridegroom drove
up to the house and ran in to see his
bride before he started for the chapel.
He found her weeping, as brides often
do when they leave home. And who
would believe it If they read 1t in q
romance2
The bridegroom coldly informed the
Young lady that ''if that was the way
She was going to begin, it would bt
the end of it," He left the bride in q
dead faint, left the house and drove
away. 1t was the end Of it in more
ways than one. There was an action
for breach of promise. The young
lady died of a broken heart.
He afterward married three wives

The Course of Love in Arcadia.
One Sunday, after a preacher had
finished his sermon III one of the rural
districts. a young couple stood up be
fore him to be united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. The parson
asked the usual question:-'1f any
one objects to the marriage of A and

hold his peace After a short pause
ne was about to proceed with the
ceremony, when a young man, minus
coat, with unkempt hair, dirty face
and red eyes. arose and bl~ubberingly
said:-.Mr. Preacher. | object. Lizzie

turning to the parson, said:-'1 die
