The Best Loved Women

Beinember, girls, and take home to your hearts the solanin truth that men may laugh with the woman who sneers wittily at goodness and right, but they never respect her ; they may loudly applaud her spirit when she sets aside the little proprieties that should bedge around a woinan's words and actions, but they despise her in their hearts for bo doing. Men have quite enough intercourse with their own sex, and when they seek a woinan's society they do not wish to iind s weak and ridiculous caricature of' theinselves, even oi their better qu&lities. Beauty is a potent spell, but take care that in being - " The queen of lovelineas, thou art no less The queen of modesty and maiden grace," or you may chance to íind that a plainer face will have power to win the heart you most covet. Wit is a rare and precious gift, but it is vory apt to become bitter and make for its possessor more enemies than friands or adoiirers. Polished manners will soon cease to charni, if they are joined with a coid and selfish heart, or an empty brain. The most pow.erful as well as the most lastiug charin which a woman can possess, is womauliness of thought, word and deed, of manner, looks and voice. Cultivate every gift you may possess, dear girls, to the highest extent in your power, but above all cultivate thia, your choicest gift of womanliness. Let tio stain mar its purity, no shadow dim it clear luster. Strive to be such a woman as Browning describes, when he says : " A woman's like a dewdrop, she's purer than tbe purest, And her noble heart's the noblest, yes, and her sure faith's the surest ;" or, in the quaiut language of Spencer : " The beam of beauties sparkling from above ; The flower of virtue anil pure chastitie ; Tne blossom of sweet joy aud perfect lové : Tbe peail of peerless grace and modestie ; To her your thoughts you daihe dedícate ; To her your heart you uightlie martyrize ; To her your love you lowlie do prostriite ; To her your hfe you wholhe sacrifice."
