The youthful owner of Kniephof was

snarls at her parents, snaps at her
brothers and sisters and shirks her
ordinary duties, the chances are ten to
one that when she gets home of her
own she win make it wretched. There
are girls who fancy themselves so far
superior to their parents that the mere
privilege Of enjoying their society in
the house ought to be all the old people
should have the assurance to ask.
While mothers are busy with domestic
duties they sit in the easiest chairs or
lie on the softest sofas, feeding on cheap
and trashy novels. and cherish the no
ton that they are very literary indi-
viduals. The household drudgery is too
coarse for such fine ladies as they. The
business of their parents is to provide
them with nice clothes and TO be con-
tent with admiring their handsome APP
pearance in the intervals of labor. Girls
of this sort are very anxious to get
married, that they may escape from the
disagreeables of the home where they
feel more or less under subjection;
therefore they are smiling enough 70

who doesn't have a chance of seeing
how they behave as daughters. may be
excused for fancying they are lovely
and loveable beings; but one who does
see it is foolish if he commits himself
by Offering marriage to a girl of that
sort. She is not fit to be the wife of a
worthy man. If she will not assist her
mother in the domestic labors, ana
badgers the servants. is she not likely
TO be equally slothful and ill-tempered
when she marries? If she now thinks
herself too fine to work. is it safe To
expect that her views as to that matter
will change if she becomes a wife?

the proud young master of Kniephof to
