YOUNG LADIES

In what special way does PROF. KELLY's Bus
MESS COLLEGE benefit young ladies? Answer !:
It fits them to provide for themselves and accu-
mulate nice fortune. independently. When
the time comes for the young lady to step out
into the world for herself. then she sees and re-
alizes the great benefit and superiority of the
information gained at this College. Then its
morals will be as beneficial to her as its secular
uses. 1t enables her to properly estimate the
moral or immoral tendency of acts to read and
value character properly; to comprehend the
power of virtue to help. and the power of vice
to hinder enterprise; to appreciate principle ::
to become very familiar with the ramifcations
of business and of society to read men to dis
Germ the signs of the times to be equal to the
emergencies; to care for resources; to do the
right thing in the right time and place. These
are among the demands that confront the young
lady at the threshold of womanhood. Who is
sufficient for these things. if not well fortified
and prepared for them before they come? Prof
Kellys College fortifes and fully fits for all these
things. The young lady may have an irrespon-
sible employer or lover; she needs to understand
him. He may come under the influence of a.
false profession or religion: she must be able
to detect the counterfeit. Willy customers will
try to snare her; she must study and know the
=
duced or tempted to live beyond her means, and
dash out as thousands do; it is very imperative
that she see the results of such course.
She may live where social customs wine drink
lng.card playing smoking and chewing, dancing.
etc..are very popular; she must be sharp enough
to decide whether the young men and women
who practice such things are more honorable or
prosperous than those who discard them.
She Will encounter Misrepresentation decep-
tions. cheats. peculations over reaching dupIic
ity. and thousand other deceptions that curse
the business world and society. More than all
this. young ladies taught in this College that
life is real. and be as noble. and can rise as
high as the great God vino gave it; that time
here Is but drop in the great ocean, when con-
trasted with Gods glorious eternity and ocean
ct love; that in order to gain this eternity of
love- bliss. and unutterable joy. they must so
live, as to be known and read by all mankind. as
dods eplstles or letters of female purity, love
truth. virtue, honesty. and Godliness that all
girls who hear and do the sayings of Jesus erect
the building of life on an immoyable Rock 80
that the fierce winds. waves. and storms of life
can never batter it down. Young ladies who
enter life thus armed, absolutely have nothing
to fear; for if God is for them, who can bo
against them?

Oh, no. Yet we have many noble women who
see and know the necessity OF reform in every
department of life; but when they learn tn real
cause of all the trouble. and that by removing

stronghold is in the proper education of your
children More real reform can be produced in |
pense and labor. than can be produced in forty
years among old. selfish. superstitious men.
