New York, June 20.-The New York
League Of Purists is up in arms again.
This time it is to lepress profanity on
the streets and in public conveyances.
The committee has chosen some thirty
young ladies, workers in the organiza-
ton, and provided each with a novelty
II the shape Of a bundle of Course
cards" The plan is, for the lady to
larry package of these cards when
ever on mission Of charity, shopping,
Or promenading on the public high
ways. For instance, if she is travel
ling in an elevated train, and hears
a man who has accidently passed his
station, or for any other reason, muir

him to fill in the blank form, and

MATRIMONIAL ADVICE.

The preachers OF New York have
Rev. Madison Peters of the Blooming
dale Reformed church recently took
for text a verse from the exquisite
pastoral Of Ruth:
The Lord grant that you may find
rest, each Of you, in the house of her
husband"
DR.. Peters described the giving in
marriage as the most solemn thing in
life, and he wanted to give the young
women of his congregation some vaIu-
able hints upon the choice of hus-
band.
L. 1 warn you against the snare of
appearances, he SAID. There are
tricks in love as We'll dis IN trade. One
OF them Is 10 make things seem TO be
what they are not. AS you value your
life, do not marry manlkin, hatter's

never do SO to please his VINE. / am
the father of two little girls, and rather
than that they should marry men who
drink l should pleIe- IL see them
taken to the cemetery.
g. Marry your equal. On the other
hand, do not marry ZOE ambition. Do
rot marry man whose age is greatly
dlsIrOportiOrate to yours. You do not
want to spend your best days minister
ing to superannuated person.
q. Do not make matrimony a mat
ter OF money. So common has the
mercantile estimate of marriage be-
come that | should not be surprised to
see the 'hymeneal market chronlcled
II. the newspapers and the prices cur
rent quoted in the stock exchange.
Il know it is accounted silly thing
to marry for love, but the woman who
for the want of it reduces marriage to
a mercenary contract degrades mar
rage, degrades herself, and inficts an
lrreparable outrage on the man she
marries.
Don't hesitate to marry poor man,
but be sure that he has something
more than his poverty to commend
him.
And here let me say, marry a man
who is industrious. The young man
who lives off the earnings of his father
until he can find a girl who is fool
eLough to marry him will very likely
live off his Wife's father. A oo-noth-
ing young man will make q good-for-
nothing husband.
Lastly, pause long before you say
the word that ends your chace of real
izing your ideal of marriage. Do not
beCc me cynical. The world is full of
grand husbands and full of young men
who will make the right sort of woman
happy"

AS your daughters grow up teach
them at least the true merits of house

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Teach by your lives.-Bonar.
Who best can suffer, best can do
Milton.
Every one can master grief but he
that has Shakespeare.
Every man desireth to live long, but
no man would be old.-Swift.
So act that your principle of action
may be made an example and a law
for the whole world.-Kant.
The reflections on day we'll spent
furnish us with joys more pleasing
than ten thousand riumphs.-Thomas
Kempis.
We are taught, and we teach, by
something about us that never goes
into language at all.-Bishop Hunting
ton.
We may as we'll attempt to bring
pleasure out Of pain as to unite in
diligence in sin with the enjoyment Of
happiness.-Hodge.
without a Sabbath, no worship;
without worship, no religion; and with
out religion, no permanent freedom"

He who imagines he can do without
the world deceives himself much: but
he who fancies the world cannot do
without him is still more mistaken
La Rochefoucauld.
1t is hard to personate and act a
part long; for where truth is not at
the bottom, nature will always be en-
deayoring to return, and will pass out
and betray herself one time or other.
If you are sad and respondent, put
on your hat, and go and visit the sick
and poor in your neighborhood, and
minister to their wants, and tell them
OF the consolation of religion. I have
often tried it, and have always found
it the best medicine for heavy heart.
