Advice to Gim.8. (iirls, listen to
some advicoj you need it badly enough,
there's not a question of that.
Don't give your beaux a chance to
bo sure of you. There arc exceptions,
to be surei there arc men who may
bo safely trusted with the knowledge
that they are all in all to the heart of
the woman they are w ooing, liutsueh
ones are deplorably few. The ardor
of most men lasts only so long as last
their uncertainty. Keep them off
and they'll grow more and more de
votedbring them near, and they'll
cool off ns fast as aflat iron in the
snow. Lot them think you care lit
tle for them or their love, and they
will try hard to become more worthy
of your regard. Not flirt: not strive
to wound their feelings we don't
mean tinthumanity forbid; but don't
make yourself cheap, just keep your
own counsel, and tho more hopelessly
in love you are tho more do you
guard tho knowledge of that fact from
your lover. Keep it down and in, all
that you possibly can, till the magic
words are said that mako you one;
then tako oirtho bands but do it grad
ually 'grow upon him;' show him by
degrees tho strength ol tho passion
which helms awakened in your soul.

THINGS I NEVER SAW.
I never saw omen of wealth
Contented will) his store,
Or one however large in trade
Who did not wish for more.
I never saw bright eyed girl
Who never was a scold;
A pretty one, who knew it not
Until she first was told,
I never knew a cheerful man
But some time be was sail;
Or in my life a women who
The lock-jaw ever had.
I never knew a female flirt
But flirted when she would;
Or married men who would not pets
For single wiion they could.
I never saw a selfish man
Help along his brother;
Or ono who once a story told
Out he would tell another.
I never saw acherishe'd pet
But suddenly it died;
Or hatter'd bread that ever fell
But on the butter'd side.
I njver saw a gambler yet,
But ho was ever able
To trace the love of play to somo
Sociable card table.
1 never saw a man of wealth
Crow richer every day,
But poorer felt, nnd less inclined
To spend or give away,
I never Raw tho poor but they,
Tho' pressed with troubles down,
Wero happier with smiles of God,
Then the rich man will) his frown.
I never saw the man who oft
The friendless poor relieved
But what he gave and four-fold more
Was back njjain received.
I never saw nn idler yet
With any work in view;
Or even an industrious ono
But plenty had to do.
I never saw a widower,
Yet single long remnin
Or widow, 'for the children's sake,'
But married soon ngiiin.
1 never saw that mun ns yot
A single gluss would touch,
But might some nny qe led to tako,
A gloss or two too much.
I never saw a boppy man
Hut ho wns just end true;
Or ever an unhappy one
liul might bo happy too.
The art of kissing isdaintly express
ed in the following little poem:
Kiss me, darling! when I kis you,
Kiss me back and back aguin!
Lips are only rosy petals,
Kisses drops of fragrant rain!

Iisarons, dear! for every one,
Only that I mny not tell ihem
In the broad end glaring sun.
Take, at least, 1 think, a sweet one!
