Teach them to rrtr<tnl tin* morals, tuul not tin money, of their beaux. Teach tin in to have n dhing to do with intemperate and dissolute young men. reach them that the further we live beyond our income, the nearer we get to the poor-house. Rely on it, that upon your teaching depends, in a great measure, the weal or woe of their future life. Teach them that a good, steady mechanic is worth a dozen loafers in broadcloth. Teach them the accomplishments—music, painting, drawing-if you have the time and money to do so. And teach them that every mean and dirty action, if not discovered, is as great a disgrace to them as if published in all the newspapers in the world. —S fleeted.
