Affairs.
A correspondent, who says she has a
son eighteen years old and daughter
nearly sixteen, requests MS ito tell her
some way TO keep them from falling in
love too young" She says they are
both very bright and good children,
but also Every susceptible" She is
afraid her son will fall in love with a
pretty face before he is twenty years
old, and mar his fortune" She is still
more solicitous as to what may come of
her daughters susceptibility, because
''she is of romantic and dreaming ma
ture."
This anxious mother is the represen-
tative of class which numbers thou
sands. There are not many things
which cause more material solicitude
than the fear that a son or daughter
will be led, while young into foolish
or disastrous marriage Among the
most prolific provocatives Of such youth
full folly are idleness, lack of mental
occupation, and the restlessness and
dissatisfaction which are usually in
duced by such stagnant conditions
VIC say w any AhOthSi VIM
does not want her son TO fall in love
with pretty face before the beard
grows on his own Give him something
TO do. Let his mind be occupied. EN-
ployment is one of the best safeguards
as we'll as one of the best remedies
for that intermittent youthful fever mis-
takenly called love. Furthermore, try
to inspire your son with noble ambi.
tons, which will lift him above his
petty desires, and make him eager to
achieve a manly and useful career
AS for your daughter, as soon as she
leaves school, give her something TO do,
also; something useful and elevating.
She will miss the daily routine of school
life, with its exercise and occupation
and discipline of mind. Undoubtedly
she will fancy that the change is de-
lightful; but she will soon become dis.
satisfied. Her life will be full of rest
lessness, her heart full of longing, and
before you are aware she will fall des-
perately in love with some mustached
boy; possibly harmless, probably a
worthless, perhaps villainous fellow,
who, like herself, had nothing to do
Satan not only finds some mischief
still for idle hands TO do, but he also
provides many ways for idle young peo
pie to commit sad and sometimes ire
trievable plumbers. One of his most
effective lures is that kind of affection,
enormously called love, which is gen
Grated by the restlessness and dissatis
faction caused by idfeness and vacuity
of mind Therefore those narentS who
wish to save their sons and daughters
from the evils that come of falling in
love too young, should give them plen
ty to do, so they may mot rust in idle
ness, but shine in use IN. Y. Ledger.
