should they not think little about
the future welfare OF their girls, and

by them when calamity comes. but
tie practical education. Every fam.
lily in our town and surrounding coun.
try can well afford the small amount
that will prepare their daughters for
lives Of"usefulness and probably save
them from want and shame. How
many bright, beautiful girls have
been led to destruction after their
parents are dead and gone, simply be-
cause they neglected to prepare them
against the day OF trouble. Some

little We know what FIVE or ten years
may bring forth. some, who are rich
today, 10 ten years may not be worth
