THE SWEET GIRLS.
If girs are brought up simply .with
the idea they, must do nothing but look.
pretty aud strive to be leaders of fash
ion, then it would be. far better for
them when children, to . inUale the
deadly miasma, of; the East, r wh ich
blightBi only the body, than to be reared
under such influences which will blight
mind,-body and soul and cause them to
be a curse rather than a blessing. The
strongest, tie on, earth is. the one that
binds a child to its mother and the only
way to keep this tie, inviolate is to edu
cate our girls, to be practical, and teach
them that their duty to God,and them
selves is not to bedeck themselves with,
jewels and silks, and think only of the
Iateststy)es,.but-to learn tomake home
attractive,! and fit themselves, for the
sphere in which God has placed them.
The man who marries a "stylish lady'
who unites his life with one whothinks-j
only, of her. personal appearance and
witto stands before the mirror an hour
every day trying to hide from the gaze
of her - sensual admirers the . defeote
which God Himself, wroteron her - face
to show that'she was frail and , human,'
and of the earth earthy and imperfect
yea the man who marries the "lady
who has no 7od bnf fashionno thought
but style; such aman need. nor die- to
find hell wtthal! its accumulative tor
ments, forhe finds here, in hiss union
with that heartless creature, who dese
crates the hallowed office of marriage
by assuming the sacred title of wife.
