PURITY IN WoMANnoon.

A German philosopher has poetically
and truthfully said. The two most beau-
tiful things IN the universe are the starry
heavens over our heads and the senti.
ment Of duty in the human soul" Few
objects are richer for the contemplation
OF the truly high minded man, than is a
young woman who lives, acts speaks
and eXertS her powers for an enlghten-
ing conviction of duty, in whose soul
the voice Of duty is the voice of God.
In such women there is mighty force
of moral power. Though they may be
as gentle as a lamb, or retiring and
modest in their demeanor, there is in
them what commands respect, and
what enforces esteem. hey are the
strong women. The sun is not truer in
its course than they are in theirs. They
are as reliable as the everlasting rocks.
Every day finds them in the same beau
tiful, steady and moral firmness Men
look to them with confidence that knows
no doubt They are fearless and brave,
and they have but to know their duty,
to be ready to engage in it, and though
men may laugh and sneer at them.
though the world may frown and threaten
they will keep at 1t. No character is
complete until it is swayed and elevated
by genuineg pety No heart is fully
happy until it is imbued with the spirit
of piety. No life is all that it may and
should be until it is baptized in the
waters Of piety. This divine grace of
the soul should be sought BY every
young woman and cultivated with the
most assiduous care, for without it she
is destitute OF the highest beauty and
divinest charm and power Of woman
hood.
