WORDS TO TEE GIRLS.

The followiug advice to the girls is being extensively distributed among families of the Eastern, States. Don't, go with* a man. if he is a stranger to you, or, one whose reputation you are not acquainted with. Remember that in ordinary business the same rule is applied aS a protection against the loss ot money. No banker or money-lender will trust a stranger ; no business man will sell him goods on time without loss or deception. Why then should a woman, young or old, trust herself to a man she does not know whether he is honorable or not ? Do not marry a man to get rid of him, or to oblige him, or to save him. A man who has formed bad habits, what is he ? AVhat is thele of him you can love ? The man who would go to destruction without you would quite as likely go with you, and perhaps, drag you along. Remember, your future happiness depends altogether on the kind of a partner you get, as it b he that makes your home on earth a heaven or a home of sorrow. Therefore, be sure, take none other than one that is equally pure as yourself. Remember that man, when he looks for a wife, seeks sobriety, virtue, and purity in u woman. Why should not women then demand the same of man ? Diunkenness turns a man out of himself and leaves a beast in its place. Do not marry for a home and a living when, by taking caie of your health, you can be strong enough to earn your own living. Be kind and truu to your 'sex. Do riot let fathers, mothers or aunts sell you foi money or position into bondage, tears and hie-long mi&oues which you alone niutst cuduiu. Do not meet any man clandestinely, as it may be to your sorrow. Do not pl.ioe yourselt habitually in the society ot any suitor until yon have decided the question of mahiniony. Human wills ;ue wr.ik -girls, especially, often become bewildered, ami do not know fioir ouor until >t is too la.to. tint ;i\\siy hum .ill other inihumcG except "j>ood motliei-,."

Did not slio Match over you fiom infancy to childhool, from childhood to girlhood? Ami a mother is moie of a mother than a lather is a father. Mother knows that a husband's work is from sun to sun, and a wife's work is never done. Forget not, a promise maybe made in a moment of sympathy, or oven half delirous ecstacy, which must be redeemed through years of sorrow, toil, and pain. Forget not he only that is f i cc from vice is fit to be your companion, and no other. Drop the company of him at once who has uttered a word unbecoming to true manhood, for if a man is true to himself, then it must follow as the day the night, ho cannot be false to woman.
